This caught my eye. A couple weeks ago I applied DG 111 to my entire hood. I followed up with 845 on the passenger side to see if it added anything to the appearance. I could not see or feel an appreciable difference. The next day I noticed a substantial coating of yellow pollen on the hood...

With the discontinuation of the Brinkman light it seems that the preferred tool for inspecting paint is no longer an option. I've seen some discussion of the halogen / LED work lights being used, but has anyone tried photography lighting setups similar to these: Photography Lighting -...

I can't speak to WDGLS specifically but I did make an interesting observation on the Collinite 845 yesterday. I have a supply of 845 and also DG 111. I couldn't decide which to use on my white car, so I polished the hood and then did a 50/50 with these 2 products. Visually I could see no real...

Last summer I did the following: Wash Clay Megs UC with tangerine HT pad Megs UP with tangerine HT pad DG 111 / 601 Not quite satisfied, I thought perhaps a dedicated paint cleaner might help. Did a test spot with DG 501 then reapplied 111 / 601 combo. I did not see a noticeable difference...

Certainly not to the extent typically seen when people use these terms. It's a 2006 that I bought from the original owner in July 2012. I think he was pretty typical of many owners out there - very good about keeping up on maintenance items, but the paint probably never saw a polisher or a...

So do I read this correctly in that modern ss paint is a urethane base and does not benefit like older ss paint from the #7? I have a 2006 Toyota that is ss, and have wondered if there would be any benefit to incorporating #7 into my next detail.

I own a white 2006 4runner which is a single stage paint. My understanding is that this is a very hard paint, and I believe it. Last summer, I got as aggressive as using 105 with a tangerine HT pad. On my test spot, this gave pretty good results so I polished the entire vehicle. I followed...

Thanks all. I've seen rave reviews for the fast glass towels and will likely check them out at some point. The Scott towels look like a perfect solution for my short term need.

My windows are driving me crazy. I see tons of good recommendations for glass towels when I search, but all seem to be ordered online. Of course I've procrastinated and would like to clean them up before I do some driving this weekend. Has anyone purchased glass towels at a brick and mortar...

Bump Hate to be one of those guys who bumps his own thread but could sure use some advice here... anyone?

Here are some pictures Not the greatest quality, but the best I can do with the lighting available. Here's the first one. The area below the tape line has been corrected with Wolfgang TSR (6 passes), then Megs UC (6 passes) and finally another attempt (6 passes) with the UC. All done with an...
