    Video: How to tape-off car trim before machine polishing

    It's funny how the specs of product tend to find themselves in place that you'd never think of taping off. If you're able to, try to wipe off the product as soon as you can. The sooner the product is removed, the less time that product will adhere to the paint. However, what I've found to...

    Can I interest you in 25 Liters of SONAX Wheel Cleaner PLUS?

    FrankS, Thats a good point. Recently, I'd noticed that Sonax brought over a 5L container that is a good compromise for that. Hopefully, Mr. Nick will get some over to AutoGeek as well :)

    Carbon fiber hood :help:

    I've had some of the same issues with the yellowing of the carbon fiber. What I found out is that it is due to the type of resin that is used on the carbon. In addition, it seems that the pre-pegged carbon (carbon that has epoxy built into the fiber prior to autoclaying) seems to be less prone...

    Flex PE8/Rotary Users Need Help with Splatter

    There are times where I did notice splatter on smaller pads more so than going to a larger pad. What I noticed is that the smaller pads tend to need less product and don't need to be primed in the same matter as a larger pad does. With that said, after having issues with over priming the pad...

    Pitting in clear coat?

    While you can say that there's pitting in the clear coat due to possible gassing, in fact, Mike has some postings from cars with a base/clear coat system. However, since you have Carbon Fiber, it's a different animal. Just to give you a back round, I have a dragster that I race in Comp...
