Just got a G8 as a gift and wanted to check in to see what pads (2” and 3”) are working best for correction and polishing. Thanks

You may be able to find a body shop that does spot repairs. A good friend near Pittsburgh has been doing this for a few years on auction vehicles for a local used car dealer. The condition around the affected area will determine how expensive the medicine will be. Sorry to read that about a...

I've been careful to fold the towel and wipe as shown, but used the same towel to wipe all of the klasse off of the car. I did inspect the towels before starting by laying them out and looking over the nap and feeling for anything in the microfiber as Mike Philips shows.

Thanks guys. Evan, they are really fine and generally run in the same direction at least on the spoiler. The rest are just randomly on the car. Both times I've washed it were with new mits, with the two bucket method. I'm using brand new cobra towels and they aren't doing any scratching. With...

I'm working on getting the dealer installed scratches out of new shelby. After getting the car clayed, I went over it with klasse AIO with a tangerine pad on the 7424xp. The paint shined up, but the car has very fine scratches here and there visible under fluorescent light. I tried to polish...

I can't recall how much I used, but it was in a sprayer bottle. A paste would work too, just let it sit for awhile to dissolve the cement.

I had this happen to my Super Duty. I tried everything to get it off, even tried sanding it off. Finally, I found good old fashioned white sugar and water will dissolve the cement where vinegar and stronger acids wouldn't touch it. Unbelievable, I know.

Here is one to start. Looks like a barn find right now. Getting in my order for a foam gun and metrovac to only touch the paint when needed. I'll add more in the forum later.

Well guys, after six long weeks, the orange reliable truck showed up this morning with the Shelby, and the rain along with it. Between the dust and little bit of rain, the car looks like a 'barn find'. Now off to finally order a pile of detail products to clean it up before taking it out...

Thanks guys, I'm hoping it just add a wash before hitting the showroom. As soon as it gets home, I'll get some pictures of it put up on here. I'm looking forward to my new part time job.

Yes, I worked as a detailer at local Ford dealer 15 years ago while in college. I know what kind of work was turned out from the dealership. I requested that the car show up as it sat on the showroom floor. No wash, wax, detail, etc. I don't want to be working out someones mistakes. I...

Sorry, no pics yet. It is sitting in Orlando waiting to be shipped up to PA. Reliable doesn't have enough cars to fill the truck yet.

Hi guys, I'm new on here- looking to pick up tips and tricks to make my new 2014 Shelby GT500 look better than show room new. This is my first black car, but but have been working at detailing casually for years now. My go to products have been the Ardex line, but didn't realize there was so...
