    How Much Does Wax "Really" Do For Perfect Paint?

    Guessless, you literally implied that one could see the difference in waxes visually, you may want to look back at how that exchange started, and the fact that I answered those was only due to the fact that they were s poor comparison. Before you sidetrack again, where is this magic paint...

    Took my wheels to the local tire shop

    You still arent understanding what im saying. They wony just "fill in" your painy or something, you should do more research on how wheels are refinished before you go to court after turning down a good offer to fix them and end up with the judge siding with the shop because of how unreasonable...

    How Much Does Wax "Really" Do For Perfect Paint?

    i believe everyone would be done here after seeing someone simply refuse to believe with their eyes, the results of a test. ie, the gas, oil, fluid, etc all being done through quality testing to achieve visual results. you seem to have lost the actual meaning behind being able to literally see...

    Took my wheels to the local tire shop

    im talking about photos from the same distance and perspective as the before. they claimed that your before photos were not good enough to determine any prior damage that could have been present, but taking photos from the same angle and distance will help prove your point and get the wheels...

    Took my wheels to the local tire shop

    if they did more than just chip up a few spots, like tore off whole sections of paint and gouged the metal, then they would have to be sent in for reconditioning. there are special ways to repair gouges in metal on wheels and if metal has to be repaired on a wheel, it's simpler just to strip...

    Help - First timer trying to Polish and Wax with DA (having some issues)

    polish drying would be either not using enough polish, or not enough lubrication while polshing. did you prime your pad before going at it? do you have any product to help remove polish residue like meguiars d114 (rinseless wash with no additives extra additives). you could try a few things...

    although this is hilarious because they use no chemicals and what looks to be a mit made out of fleece (at first glance). i can't help but imagine how many people think i am doing this very thing to my car when they see me using a rinseless wash... lol

    New Microfiber wash mitts and towels - need to wash before using?

    well depending on how you ge them, the packaging could have just matted down the fibers. i don't see the harm in washing them right out of th epackage, i can't say i did that for mine. but i can definitely see the benefit, so why not right.

    How Much Does Wax "Really" Do For Perfect Paint?

    i'll answer those in a way that can be understood. high octane gas, yes you can actually see contents and percentages of gas using the proper measuring devices , most commonly used for e85 to tell the difference between what would normally be e85-e90 in the summer, and when it goes down to as...

    Can this generator power a Steamer and a Vac?

    to get your wattage, multiply the amp rating by the voltage for that. comes out to around 3100. you would have to literally check your loads to find out. i don't see why you don't just buy it, use it and return if it doesnt work out. purchase it, keep the receipt. and plug your steamer in...

    Can this generator power a Steamer and a Vac?

    What the guy above me said, but when you are using an amp clamp you dont want to be around both wires and ground, youll need a small extension with no insulation surrounding the wires inside so you can get an accurate amp draw, technically this is the best way to determine actual draw, and most...

    Can this generator power a Steamer and a Vac?

    3000w continuous, if its a 120v generator means that you would have it at its maximum. why wouldnt you just alternate between the two? do you need to run both at the same time? looks like its 3000 continuous and 3750 peak (or surge). so using it i would guess you would be fine with those...

    Why do reflections appear better on black paint than white?

    probably depends more on whats in the basecoat, it isn't purely paint pigments, it has other things in it that cause the reflections, not to mention if it was a single stage black it would have clear mixed in with the base also. but i would say that yes, that black basically gives more...

    Why do reflections appear better on black paint than white?

    without any further explanation, the fact that black absorbs all spectrums of light, you won't have any washed out images in it, say that you stand in front of a panel that is red and a panel that is black. the black panel won't make you look dark because there is no change in the reflected...
