    Easy way to restore black rims?

    I bought a cheap drill kit with pads that I use on my black wheels with excellent results. I use meguiars ultra polishing wax and it does great but they also were not neglected. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    AWE Chrome Tip Cleaning

    I treat my tips the same as my paint, so a polish or compound if needed followed by protection. The key is wiping them clean often and not letting the soot build up and cook on. I mist mine with a detail spray and a quick wipe almost daily. Yes I'm insane but literally takes 30 seconds...

    Chemical guys tire shine spray

    Hey, thanks for the review. Which one did you use? They have so many different options. I loathe sling, VRP is decent but not my favorite. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Review: Collinite No. 845 Insulator Wax

    Yeah, it won't happen until it gets out in the sun! On a light colored car you'd never noticed, but you'll (hopefully not) see what I mean. It's frustrating to say the least. Like I said other than that I love the product. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Review: Collinite No. 845 Insulator Wax

    Yeah it washes right away or wipes with some QD, but imagine spending a day making the car perfect, then taking it out for a hot night on the town and it looks like you didn't wipe your wax off. Lol. It's awesome stuff, but that outweighed the benefits for me and it happened consistently, not a...

    Review: Collinite No. 845 Insulator Wax

    It's a good wax, but I had to stop using it. The ghosting and re-hazing is beyond annoying. You'll realize that one that puppy get out in the sun and heats up. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    A good AIO

    I enjoy meguiars ultra polishing wax. HD Speed is also still a favorite. IMO meguiars makes the best AIOs from a cost/benefit perspective. Tried zaino and I liked the results, but found it a pain to remove. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Milky staining on rims?? How bad is this?

    It's more than likely from someone using harsh wheel cleaner on it when the wheels were hot and let it sit on too long, I've seen it before just like that. I would use a compound and then polish...use a powerball I don't think hand buffing will cut it. On another note, are those S4 wheels? I...

    Subjective... Which Glads Cleaner is Best?

    I use N-914 mixed with distilled water. I've had the best results that way, I don't even buy glass cleaner anymore with the exception of some sprayway from time to time. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Which would you choose as a drying aid...

    D156 works great, I also like beadmaker and occasionally I will use a rinseless wash mixture. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Need a new Quick detailer ( I think )

    It really doesn't get enough love. Hard to find though, I used it almost exclusively in the 90s Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Let’s talk about polishing rims?

    I polish mine! I treat my wheels exactly the same as I treat my paint. Wheels take a lot more abuse than paint does. I do agree that polishing certain wheels is a lost cause, but gloss black absolutely needs it, and all wheels need protection. I typically use an all in one or cleaner wax...

    Paint splatter all over

    Something similar happened to my wife last year. I was able to remove most with a power washer but it took some time, the rest I scraped off with a plastic razor blade and then polished the remaining residue off. It was a PITA Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
