    Serious Polishing Help

    I did 2000 then the 105, that took a bit of work. I don't have any glaze except for some DP wheel glaze, I do have some Klasse though. I don't know. I have a friend of the family that restores British cars (Brooklands British Cars) so I might see what it will run to repaint the areas in...

    Serious Polishing Help

    Thanks Mike. That sucks. I figured it was some sort of contaminant from the previous owner. I'm anal enough that it really bothers me but not rich enough to have the panels re-painted. I spent the better part of the day on just my hood today with minimal luck and of course it's nice and...

    Serious Polishing Help

    It's possible, unfortunately I bought it used and it was a rainy, cold day so you really couldn't tell the difference between rain drops, water spots, etc. It could be abuse by the previous owner. The spots do come out with wet sanding though, is that the only option?

    Serious Polishing Help

    Maybe. They're all over and it seems like if I scratch certain ones with a nail or wet sand they come off? I don't have the patience to wet sand very well though... :(

    Serious Polishing Help

    It's far beyond that I think. The 105/205 combo gives a spectacular finish but doesn't remove these spots. Yeah, probably should have done that first!!! It's just about dead center, just below and right of the reflection of the light. Excuse the polishing residue and lint :D But these, are...

    So - update. I tried the 105 and the cyan pad and while it does give an excellent polish and removes almost all the imperfections, it doesn't get these drop marks out. They might have been pitch? Tar? I don't know. Wet sand next? Maybe 2500 or 3k grit? This sucks...

    Cobra blue cross cut - I use this one for my Pinnacle Sovereign. One orange HT pad that I used with Meguiars Scratch Fix. One Meguiars beige pad that I use with NXT I don't know that one product will get my paint good, it's pretty bad. 10-4! Thanks!

    More than one, check. No white pads though. The blue Cobras have worked very well. I hear ya there, but that's multiple products to "test". There's got to be a better way.

    Serious Polishing Help

    Hey everyone, I need some serious help. I just got a used car, black of course (black Legacy, white STI - makes for a cool garage). But - the paint is less than perfect. It needs serious polishing, maybe cutting in places. Should I pay to have it done or try myself? I've got the older...

    How To: Clean Your Wheels and Tires

    Yeah AG needs to kick you back something :D Yesterday I grabbed the wheel brush kit to try and get between the spokes and the rim easier (already have the speed master brush) and a gallon of Griots wheel cleaner. Well, this morning I decided to add the DP wheel glaze and another batch of...

    How To: Clean Your Wheels and Tires

    Thanks for the write up - I just about bought new O.Z. rims because I was tired of spending 75% of my time on my wheels of my STi. Going to try the DP product and the Clean Wheel Lugnut Brush - Maybe that will save me a bit of cash eh?
