Polish them out by hand.. I just finished some VW wheels that had the same baked on junk, but the VW BBS wheels were much worse. I used Megs 105 on a MF towel, then 205 and Collinite 845 to protect. I would bet that Ultimate Compound/SwirlX would make for a good OTC combo. Be careful with the...

I find that NOTHING can replace the manual agitation of the wheel wells, you just have to get in there and scrub. I have used various APCs, and my pressure washer (3200psi/2.8gpm) and still get my best results with using a brush or towel in the well. Typically, I rinse with the wells with the...

Just be sure to use a product safe for aluminum. Once I used Castrol Super Clean on bare aluminum.. ooops! Good thing it was on something of mine. I try to use the pressure washer as much as possible, then use degreaser or Total Auto Wash and various brushes to get rid of the stubborn...

I love Optimum Protectant Plus, it leaves a very nice satin/matte look on the plastics and I use it on leather. My wife is very picky about the shine on her plastics and leather... she likes when I use it. It has a leather smell that dissipates after a day or so. The product is also very...

Hi, I am new to this forum, but not to detailing. I have about 10 years detailing experience, and have been detailing part-time for myself for about 4 years. I have been on Autopia.org for a few years and buying from Autogeek for the past 2 years. I love checking the product reviews on here...

I know you said you didn't want to "buy" anything, but check out the 3m Headlight Restoration kit. It is a great kit and has 500, 800 and 3000 grit discs. It is only $20 and my local Autozone had it on the shelf. You will need to use a drill, and some masking tape to protect the paintwork...

I have the same exact product, can is in the exact same shape, dented. I still have plenty in my can but my plan is to use a can opener on the bottom, and use a spatula to get it all out. Great product, poor packaging. Good luck.

Great review. Thanks. I am just curious what tire dressing you used and what product you used on your plastic cladding, looks great. Also what area in Wi are you in? I am in the Milwaukee suburbs.

So I bought a 3m Headlight Lens Restoration Kit, my brother's Acura CL had thick yellowing and cloudiness on the headlights and he was bothering me to clean them up. It was heavily textured, and you could see where the UV coating failed. Typically I would just use wetsanding paper 1000/1200 and...

I don't think it was sarcasm, there are alot of favorable reviews for the Armor All Extreme Tire Gel.

I am looking for a new tire dressing that lasts. I prefer a satin look, (slight gloss) with a rich dark black look. I am looking for something that lasts a few weeks. Through a few washes or rain, would be great! I would like to buy it in a half gal or a gallon, as this will be a volume product...
