    Waxing Jeep Wrangler - Pad Questions

    I have a Griot 6" orbital - not the new model but the previous one. Last year was the first year I polished with it. Used an all in one product. Meguires I think it was. Several small surfaces on the Jeep particularly in the back of the window and tailgate area. These surfaces are 2 - 3"...

    How to Remove Soap Scum from Touchless Wash

    Just wanted to thank everyone for their replies. Jeeps (Wranglers) are a PITA and also high maintenance bitches but I knew that going in. Has to do with how they are built. Lots of creases and crevices where you can't get to. Water gets behind things and drips down. Regarding the...

    How to Remove Soap Scum from Touchless Wash

    I have not tried cleaning wax. I have not tried anything yet because I don't want to put the wrong thing on. It does not come off with regular washing I can tell you.

    How to Remove Soap Scum from Touchless Wash

    Live in snowy climate so I use touchless wash in cold months. I have a black Jeep Wrangler so it traps a lot of water on days when I can't dry. Reason I can't dry is because the water freezes right away after the wash. My hinges drip water after a wash. I have water/soap lines coming down...

    Someone Gave Me a Chamberlain Waxmaster 900

    Thanks guys. Very helpful. I will look each one of these steps up and proceed accordingly. Paint is in awesome shape as I use the 2 bucket method and really good products. I wash once a week. Only swirls I see are some very mild ones on the hood. None on the sides or roof. A few in...

    Someone Gave Me a Chamberlain Waxmaster 900

    Obviously am a newbie at this. So I have a couple questions. The above post implies that correction work needs to be done prior to winter polishing (such as using clay ). Am I understanding this correctly ? Secondly I take it if correction work is not done polishing will result in swirls ?

    Someone Gave Me a Chamberlain Waxmaster 900

    I know its old but it is dual action. I have a black Jeep daily driver. Just simply want to polish before winter. I am wondering what polishing pads would be recommended. It is a 9" so I assume I would get the pads in 9" size. Then would you use wool, microfiber etc ..?

    Waterpots on Brushed Aluminum and Brushed Steel

    Update on this. I tried lemon juice and baking soda - nothing. I tried water spot remover - nothing. On the part that opens I tried metal polish - a very mild one with a micro towel and it took away the brush look and changed the color. On the outside part I tried lightly polishing and...

    Waterpots on Brushed Aluminum and Brushed Steel

    Soaked a sock in pure vinegar and put it over the fuel door for 30 minutes. Did not do a damn thing. Very suprised. I guess it is on to the metal polish.

    Waterpots on Brushed Aluminum and Brushed Steel

    I will try the vinegar first to see if that works. Thanks for the suggestions. If vinegar does not work then on to the McGuires I guess.

    Waterpots on Brushed Aluminum and Brushed Steel

    I have an AMI brushed aluminum fuel door. I have brushed stainless trim as well on rocker panels of Jeep. In winter I go to a touchless wash. I have noticed water spots on both of the above. Tried spot remover that I usually use when I was the vehicle. Tried vinegar. Tried a mixture of...

    And Now Something Different.... An Aluminum Paint Question

    I am accenting a black jeep with aluminum billet items. There are no headlight bezels made in silver billet aluminum that I can find. Only shiny chrome which does not fit. So...... I think they make both plastic as well as black aluminum headlight bezels. They make chrome for that matter...

    Deluxe Water Filter Kit Recharge Question

    What kind of small inline filter do you use ? I would like to look into it. Also can I use regular soft water filter salt tablets to recharge the soft water filter with my system ?
