Those were the good old days of racing!
F1 cars were pushing over 1000hp from 1500cc without traction control!
Insane power, very little interference (electronic driver aids, etc)
Unfortunately the lack of regulations did lead to deaths & quite often the team with the most money would lead the...
Would like to try Citrus Power as it's winter here in Oz & the lower sections of my cars get caked in filth.
Have heard this product is a good alternative to foaming which would be great... I love my foam cannon but the less time spent outside in this weather the better!
Also interested in...
I wouldn't expect IronX or 845 to remove anything.
845 is a wax & IronX will only remove, well, iron...
As mentioned try a light abrasive polish.
How long did you have it fitted to the car before you noticed this?
Great job!
Had a very similar interior job on a new (to me) work-ute not long ago.
Unfortunately didn't grab as many pics as you...
Anyway it's bloody hard work, especially some of those tighter areas but the results are fantastic!
As mentioned it's not often you see an interior restoration...
That's the attitude mate!
When I wanted to start my apprenticeship as a motor mechanic I done the same thing, visiting all the high-performance shops & offering 2 weeks free labour for a chance to learn & also prove myself in hope of getting work.
Eventually got my foot in the door & now I've...
KillaCam, SD is a perfect tyre cleaner @ 4:1 & once you have it you will find other uses for it (great for oil stains on concrete...)
Destroys APC @ 4:1...
Have you tried a strong cleaner (undiluted APC, Tufshine, degreaser) & a stiff brush until you get clean white foam?
Should fix the problem although it's only ever temporary.
I use Megs super degreaser @ 4:1 & a stiff brush for my tyres & have great results. Can use it for other purposes so it...
I don't always rinse before foaming (although it doesn't hurt) but I always rinse after foaming, before bucket washing the car.
My reasoning is I am using the foam to loosen & soften any stubborn contaminants on the paint & I want to wash these away before physically touching the paint.
If there...
Have used the orange hand-pad to remove a small area of paint transfer & it worked great. I wouldn't like to polish a whole car with them but I wouldn't want to polish a car by hand full stop...
Also I used the flat, smooth side. Personally I find product gets trapped in the CCS dimples then...
Good choice. If the DA won't cut it you could always pick up a $60 rotary from SCA. More dangerous for your paint than a DA but a lot safer than sanding...
You may get better results using the wool pads with a rotary than DA but I'm not 100% sure.
Regarding the correction you achieved on your...
Just FYI, there is a member on here, Mr Megane(?), who I think is a legit chemist. If you're not 100% confident what to use as a cutting agent it may be worth asking for an opinion...
