Any word on products/pads used? how many passes it took, etc. thoughts on what you liked, didnt like about products?

1965 Ford Shelby Cobra DragonSnake

Very nice results,, could a less abrasive pad then the wool acrilic have been used for the 1st step or was the wool acrilic the least aggressive for the task?

I use the WG leather cleaner/conditioner combo and am happy with the results. I feel the cleaner gets the dirt/sweat/oils off the leather well. The conditioner leaves a nice non sticky/ non greasy feel as well and protects from uv rays. Be sure to vacuum before using the cleaner.

p21s gel to get most of the baked on brake dust/gunk and then iron-x to really clean the wheels, it really makes claying almost optional.

Nice job on the scratch,, I have a very deep serious key scratch to contend with myself and its good to see some possible results. I plan to use the toothpick/wet sand/polish approach as well.

Nick, was there a noticable difference in the feel of the paint after using iron x? This product is on my list, however I believe most of the black spots on my paint is due to tar and not metals.

Go with a mercedes benz, the only european car maker in the top 5 for quality. get a used 2008 s550.

Another possible option would be to read up on the different leather cleaner/conditioner products available here on ag. For example Optimum Leather Protectant is a cleaner/conditioner in one, the description states "Optimum Leather Protectant even hides scratches on your leather and vinyl so...

Im not so sure that carfax will pick up the insurance payout regarding your 4runner. I think carfax is just a gimmick and basically worthless. Why would there be concern of how clear was removed? It looks as though some of the before pictures had paint transfer from the other car.

Guys on here love to see pictures, if possible take clear pictures and I'm sure you'll be put on the right path. I know nothing about singe stage paint. Gluck

looks good, was it difficult to apply the opti-coat?

First off, that car is awesome!!. Although the paint may not be 100% perfect when the car arrives, I suspect that it will look great and be scratch/swirl free. The more the paint is touched the more chances that swirls will be scratched into the paint. 1. learn the proper methods to wash/dry...

Reading this post makes me realize i need to find a good all purpose cleaner for my interior!! I recently used a mix of woolite/warm water for my carpet and headliner. (woolite does not fade or discolor) however make sure that your mf is barely damp when cleaning your headliner you dont want...
