Thanks Mike, I spoke with Zephyr's customer service about this last night.
Like with paint, we are trying to just bend the light onto itself to minimize an unwanted reflection by creating very fine scratches that go against each other.
A little easier done with paint as you can typically use a...
I am working on a set of older japanese 3 piece wheels, doing a restoration on them.
I am able to get the 800 grit sanding marks out (using it on a rotary sander). But I am not able to get rid of some of these rotary buff lines I introduced.
Using all zephyr brand products. 3000 rpm makita...
Wife and I recently picked up a D3 S8 and want to keep the interior looking pristine.
Leather dash and seats, carbon fiber and aluminum trim.
I condition the seats with leather CPR, but what about the rest of the interior?
Im a big fan of meguire's products.
My main thing is what to use on...
Thank you. I was wondering about a "cutting" compound, something to take out sandinf scratxhes. I think this is where i messed up when i oroginally started out with the 600 or whatever it was. Went up to 3k, but the mmap didnt have enough cut to get those sanding marks out.
question about the...
you use Wenols and bar keeper friend in a mix? Are they more abrasive than Mothers mag an aluminum?
I have meguires finish polish which I tried over the MMAP which did actually give it more brightness, I was impressed. But obviously I still have those larger scratches (cant feel them with a...
First pic is before polishing, second is after..
I use wheel wax, i got it from this site forgot the maker of it. Doesnt really seem to make a difference. What about using standard paint wax? meguires gold class?
I have meguires hot rims in a spray but found it is useless
an add on question: after I finally achieve a mint scratch free and polished surface, how can I keep it super clean and bright after driving in the rain? EAfter driving through the rain, rinsing off the wheels and giving them a quick wipe with a micro, they are noticably more dull. i then have...
I have had no luck with the power cone. I get better results with just my hand. Brody thanks for the link, I will look into it.
Here are the wheels.
after washing and claybar. lots of scratches and marrs.
MMAP and terry cloth.
Ibviously wont take out those scratches. They are not deep...
Brody, yes! that is the shine I am going for, and I know it can be achieved. I have a set of Autocouture magnifiques on my ls400 I am trying to get the lip to look like that. They are $1k a piece new, so I would think the aluminum quality is decent. They are forged. (goot to know about billet...
Hey guys, I have had alot of issues getting that nice chrome like look from my polished aluminum wheel lips. I tried working up from a 400 all the way to a 3000 grit, rouge, mothers aluminum polish but there is always a little bit of a haze. They dont have the depth and clarity I am looking for...
hmm, she claims to have sprayed it on the cloth only and then wiped. Either way I will hav eto take it off to see what is going on. Guess ONR doesnt like that particular plastic?
Hey guys, I ran out of meguires vinyl and rubber conditioner which I use on all interior surfaces of my personal cars. My likes it, but I ran out so I said just use the ONR (i dilute it as a quick D). Somehow, after she wiped the clear plastic panel covering the instrument cluser on her 09 TDI...
