    Holograms on soft Cayenne paint

    Hi Lawrence! I am beginning to think that the holograms or marring were put there by someone else. Bad inspection on my part. Lesson learned! I will try to upload some pics. I do not have a very good history trying to post photos to this forum. I did produce some towel scratches but I could...

    Holograms on soft Cayenne paint

    I do remember you stating that a DA does not make holograms(hence my quote marks around hologram) but I am wondering if someone else wheeled the car. I cannot confirm this for the owner is indisposed. I did not chemically strip the paint because I did not feel it necessary given that the...

    Holograms on soft Cayenne paint

    Thanx Evan! I will be adding some sf4500 to my order tomorrow. I did not know about the the oily nature and the ipa wipe down the last time I worked on the car. I liked your fb page. You work on some nice vehicles! I see that you use Race Ramps. What size or sizes do you generally use?

    REMOVAL of Glass Scratches with CarPro and a Griots DA

    I agree with Red91Laredo, except that I have only used the 5" pads on my Flex. I was also able to even remove the wiper swipe arcs on the rear glass of my 2003 C Benz wagon. Love it! Follow up with some Aquapel and you'll be loving life and stuff! :props:

    Extremely stained M3 wheels...

    Thanks guys! I have been frustrated with lackluster results using Iron-X on a friend's Tacoma and I wanted to try something stronger that will not ruin his wheels' finish.:props:
