Ah crap, I see them on my end, but when I try to re upload them it gives me a little red exclamation in a circle. Any idea how to fix that so I can upload them? Thanks

Just curious as we all have something we're a little OCD about, especially car care since we are on here. But I was wondering if there is anything else anyone else has an obsession about? Mine lately is my health and appearance as I get older, especially my teeth.

I have a solid black ninja that is getting older, and I want to protect it better than with the products that were available at the time I bought the bike. Over the years from taking the cover on and off, road grime, bugs, riding etc. the paint is in phenomenal shape, but like all things...

I have CQuartz Finest on my car, and it is metallic black. I had it professionally applied almost 5 years ago, and it still looks and functions as good as it did the day I had it done. I only used the Reload a few times after the initial application, but found it wasn't really that necessary...

Thanks, that sounds like a really good way of describing it. If another few rounds of UC and the red pad DA, dont do the trick, what would be my next step? Obviously the least aggressive method first, I dont want to burn through anything, because the bike has already been professionally detailed...

I know this is an older thread, but shortly after writing this post I put the bike away for winter, and sort of put the scratch on the back burner. I tried using my DA with the red pad and some UC, and although it took the visible white scratch out, it now looks like a groove in the clear coat...

I am looking for a good coating for my sport bike. It doesn't see a lot of road time, but I want to be able to keep it protected while in storage, and lower the swirl and scratches from dust and such while covered. Can anyone recommend a good semi permanent coating that wont break the bank?

I think it may be a bit too deep to do by hand, but I will give it a whack.

I went to take the cover off my motorcycle, and noticed a dead bug splatter on the tank. I stupidly used my fingernail to get it off, and I must have had some dirt or something on my nail, because it scratched the tank pretty good, and I noticed it after I wiped it with some quik detailer and a...

Yes, the car tends to be very hard to dry and the moisture sticks to the body and I end up using a whole ton of towels to get it to dry without spots. I may go that route then for the bays, there is one by my place that hardly ever has anyone in it, and they mostly use the touchfree wash anyways.

I live in a rental community with limited access to wash my vehicle. When I do, I use ONR, GREAT STUFF! Over the last few weeks it has been rather gloomy and wet early in the morning when I like to do these things, and then partly cloudy in the evening about an hour before it gets dark. I have...

That is weird, my work truck is like that on the rockers, but it had body work done by the previous owner, it almost looks like yellow splatters under the clearcoat.
