I’m sure they mean well. And to someone that doesn’t care (or really, know better), it’s a good enough job. But I think spending the time with it and doing the job properly is why people say “Wow! It looks better than new!” Because people assume that how it looks from the dealer is how it’s...

Update: did a little bit of work this afternoon after work. Mike, as always, was spot on for the tires. Meguiar’s wheel and tire cleaner full strength, and lots of scrubbing with a tire brush. I went ahead and washed and clayed and put down some spray wax. I’ll tackle polishing another time...

So they did get the tires. I believe what I’m seeing on the paint is just old, dried tree sap. But the tire dressing definitely did fling up to the paint. Interior has been hit too. Leather is super slick, instrument cluster and windows are disgusting, and the dash is oily. Sent from my...

Doh. Yeah, important detail there. Yeah, I'm gonna polish it because there are some spots that need it. I would really like to try ceramic coating it just to make future maintenance easier, but I've never done one and they honestly intimidate me a little. I've got BF One Step that I've used a...

Well, we pulled the trigger and got a new family hauler. 2018 Odyssey in red. I’m actually pretty happy with it since it’s not my daily [emoji23] But I need some input. I couldn’t get to them fast enough before the kid with a greasy towel got to it. It has been sitting on the lot for 4 months...

So long story short, my folks’ F150 Limited got rained on with the sunroof open and now they’re saying there’s a mildew-y smell. Being the Limited, it has perforated front seats for the heat and ventilation. I kind of worry that water got down into the foam and is stuck. They’ve taken out the...

Took the opportunity to wash mine (Mazda) and one-step the wife’s Tucson with BFOS. I was pleasantly surprised with how well the Tucson turned out considering it rarely gets washed and has never been polished.

Thats good to hear. I'm working on a hammered Cadillac CTS so I'm hoping this will do the trick along with the various pads behind it. BF One Step in the wings just in case as well Sent from my SM-G965U using Autogeekonline mobile app

Looks great Tom! That's a beautiful color that really pops cleaned up. Question: what kind of pad did you use to cut with One Step? Sent from my SM-G965U using Autogeekonline mobile app

Washed the baby hauler. Nothing like curdled formula under the car seat we had no idea about. [emoji58] Sent from my SM-G965U using Autogeekonline mobile app

The car actually belongs to my dad. I'm going over there tonight and I'll grab some pictures to capture the level of damage I'm dealing with. I think I'm ultimately going to end up two-stepping the car since what it will likely take to remove the defects in a noticeable fashion is not likely to...

Thanks for the suggestion! How well does Cutmax finish down? I can do two-steps if really need be, but it is a daily so it will continue to get abused. And would you suggest the cutting pads or the one-step

Hey everyone. I've got a pretty beat up 2011 Cadillac CTSin black coming my way for a correction. While I'm not looking to get the paint perfect, I want to give it the best I can. I've got an 8mm Maxshine polisher. Was looking at picking up some of the Griot's Fast Correcting Compound and some...

Finally tackled the rotary marks that were all over my car, courtesy of the dealer. - Maxshine M8S - LC White pads - BF One Step All after a good wash of course. Sent from my SM-G965U using Autogeekonline mobile app
