WOW.... The blackfire stuff did the trick. The car looks great. Now my guy is going to let me pic all the products for the carsIm the MAN

O, and your right----> the paint is not a single process paint. I asked him that this morning. :)

Thanks Mike.... The information is Very Helpful!!! I'm really glad to hear that the products I bought we help me. I'm unsure what strong soap to use. I don't think we have any on-hand and I don't have the time to order anything online. Is there a product that I can get OTC at a local auto...

It is the 64 Valiant in my profile. I'm not sure about how many stages of paint it went through. It was professionally painted. I ordered the Blackfire Wet Diamond Kit that should be here today. We are doing a fundraising car show this weekend and I need to look it's best....but I don't have...

My guy and I used Meguiars Mirror Glaze #7 Show Car Glaze and it looked good...but when we took the car out today it looks streaky and hazy. How do I take off the product and start over? Can I just wash it? Thanks Kendra

Thanks for replying. I guess I never looked at it like that. I simply thought detailing and restoration were about the same thing. :doh: It is my car and it's a never-ending project. :D I have googled it...but I'm just one of those people that research something to death. :P

Come on guys-----I'm sure someone has restored their trim.

Thanks for all the great information. I got most of the car done using UC and the orange pad over the weekend. It did help a lot. I think there is only so much I can do for the eclipse without going to get some body work on her. I ordered some Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax #845 to finish it...

I have been working on the trim for the Valiant. I have gotten the headlight bezel to a pretty good mirror shine BUT, I can still see scratches. Got most dings out used sandpaper...all the way up to 1500 grit used the buffing-wheel polish....and so on Should I go up to 2000 grit? Also, what...

Thank you for all the warm welcomes

I only have pictures of the Valiant on here. Well, I think I uploaded some. I had issues with the pic files being to large.

The hood looks much better after I used the TSR and orange pad. (now I can see all the chips...lol) My guy informed me that Now, I need to do the rest of the car. Wait, what....one does the whole car? Is the TSR harsher then the UC? Do I just wax after? Thanks

I'm using a orange and white pad. I did watch his video right before I did my hood.

Winter Prep???? Please tell me that just means washing, waxing..and putting them in the garage. :)

I'm working on my 2006 Mitsubishi eclipse and I have never done anything to it except washing. lol I noticed a lot of swirl marks and decided to take the plunge. I have a DA and bought wolftgang swirl remover. We already have Meg. Ultimate Compound Meg. mirror glaze cleaning was Meg. show car...
