I hope everyone had a nice Christmas holiday. I know many here are expects on car detailing so I would like opinions on the car's undercarriage please. I recently acquired a late model Honda S2000. The car's interior and paint are immaculate. Unfortunately, the car likely was exposed to...

I've done this before and honestly did not end up keeping those cars long enough to see the long term effects of using GUNK on paint, powder coat, plastics and rubber. So far the claims I've read include: Petroleum based will dull you paint/ powder coat and leave white marks on black plastic...

Right! I wasn't sure if I would simply be making it worse by polishing in case there is a coating from the manufacturing process, thereby me removing the layer, I'll be opening a can of worms. But if it was simply bare aluminum to start, I see no harm in doing so. ^^ I am referring to...

Honda S2000. Spark plug cover. There's been talk online regarding polishing but no update on long term benefits. Looks like this...

Got it. At least I have the assurance from a couple of people. Some needling this weekend.

Thank you to all for your time in responding. Rock On!!

Thank you for the responses. I will certainly keep the needle idea in mind and use it if necessary. As for forcing it out.......I have tried the same technique as when applying using a straight edge. Can definitely try again! Any educated guesses on what the droplets can do to the paint or...

I've learned a lot here and thought I would ask the folks who know paint a question regarding paint film protection. I bought a new car with very wide tires which are like slicks. They shoot rocks to the quarter panel like no body's business. My solution was to add a rock guard behind the...
