    What kind of paint defect is this?

    I have an '07 civic that has a paint defect on the hood only. The rest of the paint looks good but the hood has these small star shaped cracks. I didn't realize how bad it was until I used UC with lake country orange pad followed by 205 on a white pad. These little star shaped markings can...

    Forever Black is a b!t#h to apply

    My first attempt at using forever black today turned into a real PITA. I used the cleansing solution on my plastics prior to using and decided to start eight the rear bumper cover on my truck. Before applying it was dull gray but at least uniform. The picture below is after 4 coats! There...

    Cell phones and sealants

    I'm definitely not a fan of any type of skin or screen shields on my phones. I also prefer my phone naked. Keeps them sleek and pocketable. I do have a ballistic shock case for when I'm taking my phone out in the bush but it comes off when get back to civilization. Sent from my EVO 4G LTE...

    Cell phones and sealants

    I just threw caution to the wind and applied WGDG3 to my HTC and the screen feels great. Reminds me of a new phone. No fingerprints at all and buttery smooth. I'm curious how long it will last. Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using Tapatalk 2

    Cell phones and sealants

    We all have cell phones and iPhones and after a while the screens get smudged with finger prints and are hard to keep clean. Someone told me that rain-x works well when applied to cell phones with Gorilla glass and helps keep finger prints and smudges off the phone. That got me wondering if...

    Low water pressure. Need your advice!

    When I bought my house I shut the water off at the main outside my house and put an HD ball valve before the pressure regulator and ran copper to a new outside hose bib. The result is the house water pressure is 60 lbs but the hose bib is 3/4" copper putting out 115 lbs of water pressure. The...

    Why's use swirl removers?

    Okay thanks for the info. I've ordered Megs UC, Megs m205, and Colli 853. I think between those 3 I should be able to fix most paint issues and get a pretty good finish. Just wondering if swirl remover was a necessity and brings anything to the table that the others couldn't. Sent from my...

    Why's use swirl removers?

    As a newbie I'm not really sure where swirl removers are supposed to fit in. Are they considered intermediate products between compounds and polishes? I would think most paint corrections could be taken care of with products like UC/m105 and m205. When would you choose swirl remover instead...

    Cleaning and polishing a bbq grill

    Let me know how it turns out. The cleaner I purchased for stainless steel did not work at all but I think it was technically just a cleaner and not a polish. Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using Tapatalk 2

    Cleaning and polishing a bbq grill

    I'm talking bbq grill, not car grill. Lol I have a 4 burner bbq grill about 5 years old that has a stainless steel lid and doors along with black cabinet and side shelves. I'd Luke to clean it up and thought about using a da polished to make it shine. The black painted parts are kind of...

    "Generic Pads"

    I've seen several decent looking pads ZFE brand on eBay shipped from China for $2-$3 a pop. I thought about buying some to try out on some older project cars. http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=181070049745 Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using Tapatalk 2
