    Plastic grill cleaner?

    On the bottle of 303 it say's SPF 40 lol. All that I know is that PB TR is supposed to be nothing more than coconut oil which has a natural SPF of 5 if I'm not mistaken.

    Plastic grill cleaner?

    Adhesive remover and a q tip works just fine for me. Go back and dress it with 303. I use a foam paint brush for honeycomb areas to apply 303.

    Black Car / A bit of overspray and light peel.

    Man, that is a horrible paint job... Sorry man. That orange peel is rediculous. That's going to take some patience and a nice paint gauge. Should clean up real nicely though.

    Advice needed from the pros...!

    Sure, why not. I've heard it's directed for darker cars, it will work on all colors just fine.

    People who detail for a living......

    Try being 6'6" and doing a full correction on a Lamborghini that doesn't even come up to your waist. My back problems stem more from football than anything. My left knee hurts all the time (got chop blocked real bad). I'm only 20.

    Most forums have a time limit to edit posts and it's normally around 15 minutes. What brand did he go with and will it have multiple stages?

    Black Car / A bit of overspray and light peel.

    Do you have pics of this orange peel though? Sometimes it can be severe, but sometimes they were probably trying to match factory orange peel. MOST cars come with it. I honestly don't know of an American car that doesn't come with factory orange peel. I know yours is German and all, but I'm ust...

    To truley remove orange peel it's going require 1 of 2 things. A rotary buffer or wetsanding then followed up with a rotary.

    Input needed on polishes.

    I have never seen any kits that were the money because they always miss things that are essential. Like throwing 6.5" pads with a first gen PC and the pads they throw in it are so not you need. 105 is a pad dependant polish. You can put M105 on a white pad if you want and it'll work great on...

    How long after paint till I can remove swirls

    When my passenger side got repainted from a hit and run incident, they told me 30 days. I also did a very light polish just to bring out some better gloss. I've heard anything from 30 days to 6 months, but I'm sitting here after doing mine after 30 days without ANY issues.

    Hey Asphalt Rocket, no way!!!!!

    He only comes off that way if you let his advice fall on deaf ears. The guys knows his stuff and my work speaks for it. He has guided me through the ways of a rotary and I couldn't be more appreciative. I'm sorry that you feel that way towards AR, but the guy is full of knowledge. There is no...
