Richy - I cut the Zep 1:1 as I thought the grease I was trying to remove needed some chemical strength - I used a nylon stiff bristle brush to really scrub the area and it worked like a charm.
Shoeless - You might try Home Depot - they carry it but maybe not at every location.
Thanks to all for the help. Richy - It is a plastic cargo liner and I will pick up some Zep purple as it sounds like it's time to add a degreaser to my detailing arsenal. Vegas - I hope that they are not metal filings - I will see how I do with the Zep. Thanks again guys.
We got snow here in the North East today. In preparation, I took the tires off of my snowblower last evening and drove to a local gas station to top them off.
Issue: The snowblower tires left black grease stains on my tan weather tech cargo liner. I tried to remove these stains with APC and...
The weather has gotten nice and I finally tried out my PC7424XP for the first time. This site provided the videos and the confidence to take this on! My car is one year old and has black paint which is in pretty good/excellent shape. I just wanted to get rid of very fine marring. I used Megs...
Bare with a Noob here. Way back during the last PC promotion I bought a PC7424XP and a pad starter kit. It's getting warm enough here in PA to try my hand at my first polishing job. I unpack everything and find that I have a backing plate which measures about 4 3/4" and the pads that I got...
Thanks to everyone for all of the replies and help. Which size foam gun makes sense - Half Gallon or Quart? I will typically be using this for washing one car in session.
Kronos - thanks for the link to the shut off valves. I will be getting those as well.
I'm thinking of getting a foam gun to aid in the washing process. I have watched a few videos but have this question. Do you need to switch from the foam gun to a regular nozzle to rinse or can you switch the foam off and rinse with the foam gun still connected? It would seem like a lot of...
I'm using PB's Bold N' Bright tire dressing and just love the satin finish it provides - no sling either. My problem is that it is leaving stains on my freshly sealed drive way. We have not had much rain recently and these stains may wash away but I would prefer to find a work method which...
Thanks to everyone for all of your superb suggestions and help. I have decided to go with the starter kit and the Meg's 105/205 combo. It sounds like this will work for my immediate need. I will fill in with additional pads and the Menz PO85RD in the near future.
As to Porsche paint. Being...
With the "annual" buffer sale going on I am sorely tempted to get a PC. I have a new car and at this point it only has very fine scratches in the finish from washing - no RIDS. I have clayed the car and applied Klasse AIO followed by their sealant. The finish looks great but certainly gets...
Flyfisher - Thanks for the detailed feedback. It's good to hear that someone has had success with KSG. I am certainly willing to try and improve my technique. Next time around I will strive for ultra thin layer, via a spritz bottle, and immediate removal.
Cee Dog - I did not follow Killr's advice. When I was unable to spritz SG on I went with the instructions included with the Klasse products which stated to apply SG to the entire car and then buff it off. I doubt I will be using that appraoch in the future!
02CamSS - I hear you man...
Well I took it on today. Started at 6:30AM and washed the wheels followed by the car. I dressed the tires and then clayed the car for the first time. I was trying to avoid this step originally as I was unfamiliar with the process and am basically worried about introducing scratches. I'm glad...
