I am looking for a clear bra, Xpel, venture shield etc installer - perfectionist please - in the Orange County, NY area. Had an appt on Firday for my 2014 Scion tC then instaler told me there is no siftware to cut the 2014 pieces. I do not want to drive this car w/o the film on it.

I washed and clayed my 2009 Scion tC today and hope to polish it tomorrow. The hood is in pretty rough shape with many hood chips. The rest of the Crimson has medium swirls. I have a couple of choices: M205 or XMT 360. Should I start with the 205 and move to the 360 or just use the 360. I have a...

Just to keep everyone up to date: the Tundra was professionally repaired. The paint match is excellent although it has less orange peel than the factory paint. Since the damage was "vandalism" id does not count against my insurance rating.

I feel that the wet sanding/buffing if outside of my skill set as I have only used a DA Cycle and Griots. Is there anyone here on the forum - in the business - in Northern NJ/ Orange/Rockland Cty NY who could tackle this with a high probability of success?

My 2010 Toyota Tundra Platinum was keyed last night. Both fenders, quarter panels, and all four doors. Down to the primer - there were fine threads of primer hanging from the scratches. I assume that this is too big of a job for Dr. Color Chip. Is there anything I can do short of a complete...

Pinnacle works well for me on metallic black.

As an owner of a 1991 300ZX TT I was interested in your process. Can you share with us what brushes you used. Also, how did you apply the Hyper Dressing - wipe it on, spray it on? Did you turn the engine on and let it kind of bake on? Thanks for your reply!

In my limited experience using it all I can say is that at times it is a bit large to fit in all the places. I bought a Griots's 3" to compliment it.

When folks ask for advice on a buffer I rarely see the Cyclo mentioned? Is this due to size, fixed RPM or other issues? BTW, I have one and I am a "newbie".

Tried the Dawn and the car felt so awful afterward - never thought to add regular car shampoo to lubricate - great idea.

Mequiars wheel cleaner in the pink container - Auto Zone but cheaper at Wal mart.

Leatherique is fantastick - now that the warm weather is here you can get the proper interior temp.

How does Iron X do on the wheel barrels? That's the area that is always a challenger for me - and makes such a difference in the final outcome.

Well, I was at Wal Mart today and their price for the Hot Rims was around $4.50 so I picked up 4 bottles - much cheaper than Auto Zone.

I just used Hot Rims on very dirty stock Scion tC rims and was very pleased with the results - using various brushes. The only problem: I can use one bottle for 4 wheels. I could not find it in a gallon size. Hence, this question: is Detailer Wheel Brightener comparable? The price is very...
