    BMW Side Window Black Trim Restoration? Suggestions

    Thank you for the suggestions. I used black wow on it again and it worked pretty well. Hopefully the problem is solved and won’t come back. I need to add some trim restorers to my Arsenal. Thanks again. Phil

    We have a 2015 BMW 328i. The black trim around the side window, specifically the trim at the back edge of the front side windows and the leading edge of the rear side windows, is impregnated with white wax residue. I have tried the usual methods of cleaning the trim with no success (simple...

    Is Graphene the next big thing for coatings?

    As I recall, I used the Rupes Yellow Polish with a Yellow Rupes pad. I then used the White Rupes Polish with the White Rupes Pad. Then I applied the 303 Graphene. I did a similar prep process on my friend's late-model 911. His 911 is garage kept except when he is driving it. It has held up...

    Is Graphene the next big thing for coatings?

    Well, so much for my 303 Graphene excitement. This is my real life assessment. This is not a youtuber "let's wash this old hood twelve times in a row and call it a three month test." It has been exactly one month since I applied the 303 Graphene to our Range Rover Sport, Santorini Black. The...

    Is Graphene the next big thing for coatings?

    I finally pulled my 303 graphene bottle out of the shipping bag. I had an extra hour or so on Saturday afternoon and decided to try out the 303 Graphene on our Range Rover Sport. 303 went on fast and easy. Wiping it off took a bit of effort, definitely more effort than just your regular...

    Review: 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating

    Well, I opened a bottle and used it on a buddy's 2021 White Cab 911. Used the Rupes "Full Size" and the Flex 3401. Polished out the paint and then applied the 303 Graphene. Super easy to apply. Doesn't smell too much. I forgot to use gloves and mask, but did apply in an open garage. Car...

    Review: 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating

    I bought two bottles of the 303 Graphene Nano Spray. I haven't had a chance to use any yet. I read that there was a bad batch. Anyone hear about that. Did anyone get a bottle of the bad mix. Does anyone know what the bad batch code was? I heard that 303 wasn't very cooperative in...

    How to remove Pin stripes

    I got an eraser wheel. Conclusion, it worked great. A couple of tips. I did one side of the truck at night. Much more work to get the pin strips off. Did the other side today, truck was sitting in the sun, pin stripes came off much faster and cleaner. Paint residue from the "peaceful...

    mat black metal roof rack, very dull, how to bring it back to life

    I picked up a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. It had been vandalized in a protest. It had been sprayed on both sides with black paint. I got the spray paint off with Rupes Blue Course compound. Had to use a little wet sanding on some thicker spots. The factory roof rack is mat black, metal. The...

    Riot, sorry protest, damaged fj cruiser. Spray paint removal

    A quick note. I also tried a microfiber pad. Not much luck with it. It started removing the spray paint but also almost immediately matted down. It could have been user error. I don’t use the microfiber pads very often for just that reason. I used the Flex 3401 rather than my Rupes 21...

    Riot, sorry protest, damaged fj cruiser. Spray paint removal

    the FJ Cruiser arrived late this afternoon. The big rig had to drop it about a mile from the house due to tight roads/turns. I had three people come up and ask me what happened to it as I was settling up with the delivery driver. It was out of gas, so I kept my fingers crossed on the drive up...
