I just recently bought a new 2023 Honda Ridgeline (I know... I wanted a Tacoma for years until I drove both) in Modern Metallic Silver with the HPD package, so it has bronze wheels and decals. I am considering front end paint protection film and/or DIY applied ceramic coating to keep it...

I am prepping my car to wrap it and started with a new washed green microfiber towel to do a ipa Wipedown and it left a green hue on my white paint. Can you recommend a method to remove the dye stain and also what towels can I use to wipe down my car without scratching the paint? Thanks!

You may be right and if so, that's cool. I figured there wasn't a lot of crossover between the products Autogeek sells and the type of tools in the ads. Autogeek is the only place I buy my car detailing supplies from, but they don't stock too many Milwaukee tools, lol.

I have started to compile all of the tool pages from the 2018 black friday ads on one page to make it easy to see and compare all of the sales this year. I am still waiting for the rest of the ads to be released and when they are, the page will be updated with them. Also listed on the page...

Thank you for your recommendations. I will do some more research and go from there. One question, what is the advantage of the 5" backing plate over the 6" that came with the DA?

So I know it has been a long time since I made this thread but I finally picked up a Griots Garage 6" polisher. I also spent the better part of 5 hours watching autogeek detailing videos on youtube yesterday. I feel like I'm ready to dive into this except I still need to choose pads and...

They don't seem that deep to me but my idea on how thick the base and clear are is probably not very accurate. The bug splatter spots are definitely discolored, they look whitish-grey so they could very well be primer. I will try claying and polishing to see if it gets me anywhere. If not, I...

Crap, that't not what I wanted to hear. In your experience, does polishing them with a DA reduce the bug gut etching appearance at all? I have never had this issue with bug guts on my previous vehicles but I'm guessing the previous owner didn't wash the truck very regularly.

Thanks for the reply. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the issues were beyond repair. I can live with that since this is a 12 year old truck. If I could fix a majority of it, I would be very happy. I am located in Orlando, FL. Don't know how to locate other members that are in the area though.

I am new to the forum but have already learned a lot from reading it on and off over the years. I just bought a black 2006 Nissan Frontier. Overall it is in good shape but when you look up close, the paint has tons of swirl marks and minor looking scratches. There is quite a few spots where the...

I am shopping for a new electric pressure washer because my 5 year old Husky 1750psi just quit. They are no longer made any more but out of all the pressure washers I have tried, the Husky seemed to be the most powerful. Unforunately, I cannot test pressure washers before I buy them so I'm...
