yea we had a little chair to roll around on and i had to sit on the ground to do the lower panels and since the car is lowered it was tough. Car looks SO good now though, here is a pic of it at work at lunchtime.

So this past weekend my brother and I detailed the car. He has been going this on the side for years and taught me his ways. Friday i washed, clayed the tapes and saturday was our polishing day. We started at 7am and didnt finish till 7pm with 2 porter cables. The paint was SHOT under the lights...

my brother is going to help me through this process and he gave me this link to read as homework. He said to read it 2-3 times, get halogen lights on a stand and painters tape How to use a clay bar on your Car

I sure hope so as I have no clue what I'm doing. My brother does though and he has all the same products

I started a new thread about what I got in the mail from mike.

My bday is tomorrow, soon I will give my 09 CTS-V a present.....Overwhelming !! If this is the wrong section please move it

Ok guys so ALL of the adhesive is now off the car and I will share my story and tips. I used goo gone, wd40 (worked well), 3M adhesive remover and the best overall was the Stoner Tarminator bug and tar remover. That along with the titan plastic razor blade (which you need to be careful with...

What makes the tarminator any different than the wd40 and 3m adhesive remover? I have a plastic razor I've been using without any issues called Titan.

Omfg laz is right!! Just spent about an hour with the 3m and wd40 along with the plastic razor blade on one area of the hood. It works but it's a slow process but the good news is under the glue the paint is AMAZING!!

I will try and do that after the adhesive is off, the wheels are powder coated and the paint correction is done. I am waiting on microfiber towels and the 3M adhesive remover to come in then the fun begins.

My brother will be doing the paint restoration but I will be helping. He has done many cars including my last car (which I helped with). He does a fantastic job! I attached a couple pics of my last car being done.

I skimmed through it after i posted the other thread. What can I say I am lazy lol. I will re-read I am more curious though about WD40 suggestions and if it really is safe for the paint

Bob, I ordered a 6 pack of this from amazon for $14 shipped already.

I am sorry to bring back an old thread but I have the same adhesive issue on my car now. I removed the clear bra and started a thread asking how to remove the adhesive. Any help would be appreciated. Jay

Hello everyone, Yesterday I removed the clear bra from my car that the original owner put on about 6 years ago. The hood, fenders and bumper had perm bug marks along with marks and scratches that were beyond saving. It took about 4 hours with a small steamer and everything came off without much...
