Those of you who have tried many glass cleaners, which is the best? Do you prefer different glass cleaners for different purposes?

No. Click "What's New"

Okay, I got an answer to this thread for all of you folks after five (5) years... Now that I work from home and have nothing but a TON of time, I finally got around to trying to polish a dry erase board. It completely cleans up staining of dry erase markers, BUT the cheap melamine boards stain...

Okay, so it is practically 4 am, and I can never sleep anymore unless there is some mechanical noise or perhaps it gets to be 7am, and then I am dragging myself to work remotely. Ironically, I had a friend over a few weeks ago to let him polish his truck, and I fell asleep in my chair. He...

Ordered my first mini polisher, a Griot's 3 inch. I am mostly a hobbyist, so I cannot justify buying an expensive Flex or similar. At any rate, my other machine I have had since 2014 is the G110v2, and it is okay. I bought it because I always trusted Meguiar's because back in the day they had...

Many of you have probably seen Mike Phillips article from way back at Meguiar's probably a decade and a half ago where he takes something like a white terry towel or a yellow foam applicator and puts some compound on it such as ScratchX (back in the day) and rubs a spot. If the towel turns the...

Thanks... San Diego County.

Good Evening: The next week I will be traveling to Southern California on business and will have an opportunity to see my family. My sister asked me to wash and wax her car this year as a Christmas Gift... I agreed -this car was last washed by me December 2016. Then she threw me the...

I clear up compound and wax in the cracks of my car��

Try not to laugh too hard, but I am cleaning tile grout and going to scrub grease spots on the driveway with it. I will probably buy some softer ones for cleaning floor mats and seats. Thanks for the video. I will also start using it on tires.

I don’t have a paint thickness gauge. I did this one by the seat of my pants.

This is the PC-840. Is this supposed to come with a DA washer? Porter Cable 7424 Carpet & Upholstery Brushes This is how it came...

Thanks. I almost forgot the fingernail test. I tested to see if a fingernail would be caught in the scratch... it wasn't. Generally, from all I have read this means there is hope to remove it. If your fingernail sticks, you are generally down through the clear to the primer or base.

You should. That paint is 6 years old having been compounded and polished at least a couple times, yet compound never took out that scratch. What I did was first try 2000 grit paper, and it really did not fully remove it. I Was carefully to do long strokes perpendicular to the scratch with...

No... That's why I have the watermark.
