I was on the Gulf of Mexico fishing for Red Snapper on a free day from a week long sales meeting. We just pulled up a bunch of Snappers and were moving to a new fishing site to catch something else. One of our sales reps stuck his head out of the boat's cabin and called out that Tower one was...

No pressure washer for me. Sorry. I've now tried Sonax twice. Seems to work pretty well but OPC works quite well for 1/10 the price. I have after the fact pics on my wife's camera but not for this post. However. WETS on the rims and tires. Clay and Fusion on the Mercedes C class and my...

I use a MF applicator pad and rinse with a water soaked MF towel.

Hey Richard. Congrats pn your win and good to hear that it works. What will you be comparing against?

Some glazes are compatible with sealants and some may not be. Check with the vendor. I almost always used glazes with carnaubas to add gloss, feed the paint (great for SS and does seem to help clearcoat) and now occasionally with some sealants. If the paint is perfectly prepared, the need for...

Depends on what the cause of the white mark. Peanut butter Plastic polish (normally my best bet) APC (various) IPA (didn't do much for me) Mineral spirits (sometimes yes and sometimes no) Glycerin Trim dressings Still trying stuff. What vehicle do you own?

Have I lost my mind? I don't see OPC on BOGO.

A heat gun such as to shrink insulation or blister paint for removal is used to heat faded plastic trim. You are not trying to cook the plastic just kind of open pores from what I understand. I have not been willing to try it but I suggest that you check You Tube for videos.

Something fun to try. 1999 BMW 528iT is my wife's car again and soon to be my son's car. 2011 BMW 528i is my company car.

And real chrome bumpers polished to a glisten. By the way, very cool 327 bimmer. Sure don't make them like that anymore.

I have a 99 BMW with a few splotchy spots on one corner section of the front bumper. Drives me crazy. By the way, IPA and MS made the trim look worse for me. Peanut butter didn't work. Zymol Seal Conditioner didn't work. I thought that it was wax but I can't figure out what is really in the...

What type of vehicle? I found that I needed less M105 with the surbufs. Ron's right on with the 5-6 setting and 15lbs of pressure. Nice slow movement. Tape off an 18" square to make sure that you are working in a small enough square since you seem to be new to the XP. One of my biggest...

Hmmm. Not married for long? At my wife's great uncle's 65th wedding anniversary. I asked "the" question. Answer: "yes dear" I suggest that you practice that correct answer if you want a long happy married life.

I honestly don't know if you will get any better protection or spray off cleaning from a "dedicated" wheel glaze/sealant vs UTTG. I have been using another brand of wheel sealant for the past couple of years. With the sealant, I can typically just use car soap and brushes to clean up bimmer...

Thank you for your recommendations.

Try test spots with different combinations. Try M105 with the Tangerine first before going to the Cyan. I might be wrong but I don't think the M205 will be aggressive enough with either pad to remove swirls. I don't have enough experience with M205 as I usually use the Optimum line of...

I am planning to apply a coating to one or both of my two bimmers and my buddy's new Honda over the next month. I need to make decision today or tomorrow on which coating to take advantage of the Labor Day sale. I don't particularly like IPA and keep looking for a good prewax/sealant/coating...

I personally don't like IPA when working with black but IPA is one option. Mineral spirits is another option. ONR is also a reasonable choice. I actually like Megs Final Inspection as a QD for compound/polish removal, especially with soft black paint. It was the best choice for me when...

I finally used the surbufs for the first time with M105 on a VW convertible with blue metallic paint. I was amazed how quickly it removed the swirls. I used Opt HyperCompound with a orange flat pad the night before and it took some time to remove swirls from a Mercedes. Two different paints and...
