    Removing old stripes

    Firstly, thanks for weighing in everyone. I really appreciated all the options out there and realistic outcomes. One of the reasons I love this forum! After one other unsuccessful attempt to remove the stripes in an inconspicuous area, I threw in the towel and decided to do something...

    Removing old stripes

    Thanks for the input so far. I'm willing to try a steamer just to see if that white coating underneath will even come off. I expected ghosting as well and was curious if enough compounding and polishing would help even it out? Man... I'm bummed these are so cemented on the car, it's not worth...

    Removing old stripes

    Normally I'd agree, but these are not the normal fat stripes from the factory and I was able to connect with the orginal owner at one point who said he had them put on. They're also crooked which is why I want to remove them lol Sent from my SM-N960U using Autogeekonline mobile app

    Removing old stripes

    Hi guys, I'm trying to remove stripes on a 2006 mustang that I bought 3 years ago. The stripes have been on for probably 12 years and I cant get them off. Disclaimer- the pic is on a spoiler I plan on replacing anyway and am using as a test spot. Can anyone help tell me what's going on in...

    Do I need a rinse less or just a better soap ?

    You'd mosy likely wash the vehicle differently with a rinseless as well. Going panel by panel will help prevent the wash from drying on its own and prevent spotting. I'm in southeast PA and only use rinseless washes all year round, usually waiting for days in the 40s to clean a vehicle in my...

    Are these buffer/polishers a no-no?

    With the DA polishers like the ome mentioned from Harbor Freight, the PC 7424xp, and Griots Garage GG6, you won't burn through the paint. The only way you can do harm is if you turn them upside down and whack the car with them! [emoji12] In addition to Mike's books on the subject, I ventured...

    Anyone tried the Brush Hero?

    I actually have it. It does an OK job, but if you have a vehicle with bad brake dust you'll still need something to cut through that first. I had a Focus ST with brake dust as bad as a bmw and bought this for that car. It helped, but I still needed to prep and sometimes scrub the wheel with...

    HD Speed & Proxy

    I took forever to do my vehicle... in a small 1 car garage too! I think it takes a good bit of time before you can go through the process quick enough without sacrificing quality. If you can stomach it, keep doing what you're doing, it's looking awesome! ...and def suck up to the neighbor. The...

    Can anyone weigh in on TopCoat F11?

    Thanks cleanmycorolla, I was getting the same impression based on what reviews said it was doing. Sucks to see others get taken advantage of though.... I'd take Wolfgang Uber over that any day! lol

    Brand new to detailing

    Agreed with all the other comments here. Any of the polishes and compounds sold here will do a great job and stick to small quantities to try stuff out. It really takes a lot of trial and error to see what works best on your vehicle. The nice thing to know, is if you have the right technique...

    Can anyone weigh in on TopCoat F11?

    Hi everyone, I caught the bug trying to perfect my mustang's paint after watching the Junkman's videos on youtube. After finally finishing that process I'm looking to see how I can best maintain and keep up with the vehicle - short of using a ceramic coating. So I've been using Optiseal (as it...
