    Waxed car, hood clear coat was faded, absorbed wax

    I suggest you go to Walmart and get Meguirs Ultimate Compound, and Ultimate Polish. Also, pick up a few foam applicators, and a soft microfiber. It sounds like you have clay, if you do not, get the Meguirs or Mothers clay kit that includes the clay lube. All of these items can be easily applied...

    Sandblasted windshield remedy?

    I got scratches and wiperblade trails out of my windshield glass by using Ceriglass and glass pads, plus boatloads of polishing with my PC for literally hours. It works well for major flaws. But, small pits remain, though they are not as visible as before. I suspect that it really comes down to...

    What lens for your DSLR/Mirrorless

    At car shows, I find that a wider lens is the best, because you are typically limited to how far you can get from cars. A wide lens will allow you to get much of the car while being quite close. The downside is that there can be some minor distortion, but that is easy to control if you keep the...

    Anyone else getting excited for the 2016 F1 season?

    Yep, gonna be a bit more interesting this year. I am a Hamilton fan, but I still hold out hope for Jenson Button, even though McLaren does not look like it made a big leap. Obviously hoping for a good run from Haas, as long as they do better than the current back markers it will be a success...

    When Did This Get So Complicated?

    As a new(er) member, I completely agree. Where to start, and with what is mind numbing. It is very difficult to figure out where to start, and even though AG has videos, etc, its very difficult to get beyond the "2 bucket wash, use microfibers, buy a DA, pads and products" stage. I can...

    BMW i3 OLIVE LEAF TANNED LEATHER treatment?

    It looks like what is different about your leather is the method with which it is tanned, but otherwise it is simply leather. BMW interior award spells success for olive-leaf tanning process - leatherbiz.com I would treat it as you would any leather, use a product for leather care, such as...

    MB Tex cleaner/conditioner?

    Sounds like you are doubtful about what product could work, so my suggestion is to simply use the product Mercedes recommends: the Mercedes Benz Interior Cleaner. Note that they also make a Leather cleaner, but they do not mention MB Tex in the Leather Cleaner section, but instead in the...

    Klasse High Gloss Sealant Question

    Somewhere here there is a post about mixing KHGS and Quick Wax for touch ups. I really like this solution. Basically you add a few oz of KHGS to a small spray bottle of something like Meguirs Ultimate Quick Wax. (something like 2oz of Klasse to 6-8 oz of quick wax). After I wash, I spray the...

    Compounding help?

    I just cover areas I am concerned about with 3M blue painters tape. Things like pinstripes, raise areas, windshield washer nozzles, etc. For really tight areas, I just do by hand, haven't gone to the expense of getting 3in backing plate and pads.

    Critique my website please

    This something I look for in small business websites: info about the owner/principle. I dislike the 'we' approach, and would rather read about the actual people that will do the work. So my recommendation is to put a photo of yourself on the website, perhaps a brief background: something to...

    CeriGlass with foam pad and DA ?

    I don't think there is anything 'too aggressive' for windshield glass...short of a diamond tipped grinder. I use the Carpro rayon pads, and find nothing else works to get scratches out of glass.

    want to get a 7424XP for 2 cars

    Lots of suggestions, here is what I did. I bought the PC 7424XP value pack, which came with an orange flat pad, white flat pad, a blue pad, and two bonus red pads. I bought Mequirs Ultimate Compound (orange pad), Ultimate Polish (white pad) and Ultimate Wax (red pad). Later I got some All in...
