    "safe scrub" bug & tar pads on entire vehicle (for wax prep)

    What's up everyone? I wanted to get opinions on this because I was in a jam the other night, and wound up using my trusty "yellow bug pad" on my entire car, from top to bottom... and I wound up pretty impressed with the results! What happened was that my 1 year old went to bed nice n early...

    Help with interior leather please?

    Ugh... bummer to hear, but I appreciate all the feedback. Luckily, these spots don't stand out too badly - it's just my picky eyes that see them ALL the time. Of course it bugs me that I didn't reconsider before I swapped these seats into my car, but I still LOVE the colour change. And, I...

    Eldorado - Ouch... those pics of yours look like some harsh damage done with that steamer!! In regards to my seats though, I don't think it's a matter of getting those spots OFF, as the spots themselves are already something that's worn off. I think it's more about adding that missing layer...

    It's an '06 Caddy CTS-V... figuring you might recognize it judging by your avatar :xyxthumbs: I've got some pictures of her posted in another thread around here from a few years ago when I did my first "correction".

    Help with interior leather please?

    Hi guys and girls, Long story short, I recently swapped my original light gray seats for black ones out of a parts car that I had access to (exact same OEM seats, just different colours). I'd always wanted the contrast of black seats on the gray carpet and door panels, etc. The trouble is, I...

    Over-applied Collinite 845, can't remove haze. Help?

    Oh man, I hope it doesn't take an entire compounding to get rid of this stuff!! I LOVE the product, but I'd never use it again if that was the case. Just for fear of user error - over-applying - again. lol Thanks for the links. It didn't take long to come across a few posts from Mr...

    Over-applied Collinite 845, can't remove haze. Help?

    Hmm..."paint cleaner" is a new one to me. I'll look some up. I should also mention I tried a quick detailer, which didn't get rid of the haze either.

    Over-applied Collinite 845, can't remove haze. Help?

    Hi guys and girls, I've applied Collinite 845 a few times without issue, but this year seems to be a little different. I'm pretty sure I over-applied the stuff, and this has resulted in a "haze" on most of my car since the beginning of the summer. Yes, there are some swirls and other minor...

    Removing haze left behind after col. 845 application

    Thanks for the suggestions jjj. Maybe I'll look into a wax free QD and see how that does. If its still hazy after that I guess I'll have to look into something with a little cut in it, like that Pinnacle stuff. On that note, would I be able to just use the Meg's DA MF finishing wax and finishing...

    Removing haze left behind after col. 845 application

    Again, I'm not faulting the product AT ALL. I know it was user error and I take full responsibility. I don't have any IPA's, which was why I was thinking maybe a dish soap wash. Maybe I'll put an order in for a wax remover / IPA and try that.

    Removing haze left behind after col. 845 application

    I didn't say there was a problem with the Collinite. I said I made mistakes. This is most definitely a haze ON the paint surface, not a dull finish. The finish looked fine after the clay bar and drying.
