Durability - Wheel Refinishing Kit I just purchased a set of lightly used OEM wheels for my Hyundai Azera. My intention was to get them refinished in Hyper-Silver at a cost of $100+ each, as the Hyundai color is a white-ish silver and not to my liking. I'm really interested in this kit (4 of...

Hey Sparkie- A long overdue thank-you.... I tried duragloss wax remover #471 follwed by the #271 rubber & flat black dressing & the cowl & wiper arms I got splatter on an they now look great. Pros like you make life much easier for rookies like me!

I'm going with two or more coats of Collinite 476 on the daily drivers.

I noticed ( a little too late ) that I got some overspray of Pinnacle Vinyl & Rubber Protectant on the clear plasic of the instrument cluster. Stoner's Invisible Glass & Windex were both unable to remove the slight stains I created. Does anyone have experience with a product that will remove...

Hi Joe- These are some new pics of you're Azera! Coincidentially, I was showing my son the pics I just took of mine, and in the folder were the pics are filed, I showed him the pics you had on the Azera forum of the chrome wheels from ebay. You may remember when you posted the pics of the...

The Victoria Wax certainly adds the wet - deep look. Thank you so much for your original recommendation of the Victria Red Wax along with the RMG!:cheers: The XMT products really set the paint up well & removed most of the swirls & RMG & Victoria Red Really made the paint jump. I'll put...

Finally Had Time To Detail The Car Thanx for all the replies & great suggestions!:awesome: Did the car over again yesterday (RMG & Victoria Red Concours Wax), although I did not use the XMT 2 or 1 as most of the swirls were removed a couple of weeks ago with these. They are all Great...

Back in the late 70's thru mid 80's when I was showing my car, alot of guys used pledge in a way we would use a QD today. I have no idea on long term effects, but I must admit it made Blacks, dark blues and reds look real deep and wet. Personally, I just stuck with my gliptone back then....

The Zen Art of RMG & Go Dog Go Do you like my hat? I do like that hat, I like that party hat! ~PD Eastman~ Thanx for the advice, your Jag has the look I'm after. If you don't mind me asking, how much RMG did you put on the pad per pannel? At what speed did you apply it and for how long...

Being new to this site, as well as working with a Porter Cable 7424 Oribital Polisher (PC) I would tell you ti investigate the Pinacle WXT Swirl Remover Kits. I just used XMT with an Orange CCS pad followed by XMT 1 with a white CCS pad on a much newer black car and was very happy with what the...

The trick is I used 2 different pads as I was not thrilled with the results of the 1st one. Changing of the pads made little difference. 1st pad was CCS grey and then I tried a wolfgang blue on another section of the car. The RMG did not improve the look / depth of the paint at all (2006...

Once you've cleaned your paint ( I've used XMT 2 followedby XMT 1 with great results) whats the best method to apply Red Moose Glaze: Which pad, what speed on PC, amount of RMG on pad, how long do you work the product, what size section do you do....? Once your wax stops beading say after...

Sparkie- Thanx again for the help. Curiously, is the Ford GT a client's car or is it yours? It (the original GT40....yeah I'm that old) has been a dream car for me since I was a kid. It was my favorite body for the Aurora Electric Race Set I had & also a Cox 1/18 scale Gas Car I...

Hey Sparkie- The DG271 looks teriffic on the wiper arms & plastic cowl in your photo! I never would have thought AIO as a solution to my spalatter. Looks like I'll be placing another order with AG (and a little neater next time I detail my car)!!! Many Thanks, Warren

AG order came in and did my 1st PC detail this weekend. Had some splatter, mostly from Clearkote RMG and some from from XMT1 & 2, which got on some black trim pieces and windshield wiper arms. Please, whats a good product or method to clean the black plastic trim & flat-black wiper arms...
