    RIP Mr. Miyagi

    LOL, maybe no pic was the better way to go. I think he needs a second coat to ensure even coverage.

    Best way to clean a washer and dryer?

    IPA wipe the barrel of the dryer. I'd use full strength. You can wash the screen in the sink and allow to air dry. Run an empty load in the washer with a cup of bleach to disinfect it, and pull out the soap and fabric softener dispensers and wash them if you can. Remember, these things are...

    No Pics Showing?

    I'll post here what I posted elsewhere as it is more appropriate here: Yeah, I'm having that problem too recently with attached thumbnails not showing up in threads. Currently using my phone to browse and pics aren't there, but a box implying there is something attached is present.

    Using Spray Max 2k Clearcoat on headlights?

    I would say that 200 grit is way too aggressive to start. I'd go 600, 1000, 2000, and see where you're at. Clearcoat is funny sometimes, as it doesn't always fill like it should especially on clear plastics. I'd recommend polishing them out with a compound and polish too and then using...

    The Flex 3401 Car Detailing Class - Hands-on real-world training

    That's truly impressive that a FOAM PAD and Uber Compound was able to remove that level of surface marring. That thing looked like somebody used a rake on it!

    Flex 3401 Detailing Class - Extreme Makeover - 1939 Chevy

    That's a heck of a lot of help! How long did it take that crew to knock it out once the work began?

    Confused on cut of Hybrid pad colors??

    The gold pad is for jeweling, don't be fooled by the apparent smooth feel of the surface of the black pad in ranking it as better. The gold pad will compress and give more than the black, taking some of the energy of the machine's work with it. When talking about polishing at that fine a...

    303 fabric guard on Alcantara?

    Sorry I won't be able to update on the water repellency today. As I was traveling to the gas station yesterday afternoon to get fuel for my lawn mower, the charging system MIL illuminated and my alternator is shot. I picked up a new alternator last night, but after struggling with a single...

    Dry Me Crazy not drying!

    I'll wager it is the UQW drying aid that has it clogged up. I actually boiled mine for 10 min to release some of the built up product when I was still using CG V7 with it as a drying aid. A layer of film rose to the top of the water line. I then washed it and used a cup of vinegar in place...

    303 fabric guard on Alcantara?

    No problem. The Alcantara itself is a fascinating material. I'm a nerd about keeping the interior clean and vacuum weekly or more if needed. I thought the Black Alcantara was very clean, as it just looked a bit gray and was a bit matted down in spots. Taking a soft brush to it released a...

    Weird question about washing and drying your vehicle.

    There are no weird questions, just weird people. You should fit right in here. Most automotive bodies are MUCH thinner metal or plastic than was used 30 years ago. Weight, safety standards, (think crumple zones), and raw material costs have caused manufacturing to cut way back on the amount...

    303 fabric guard on Alcantara?

    Well, initial results are very good! Put a small amount of 303 Fabric Guard on the under lip of the seat last night. No change in the material, feel, color fastness, etc. Put another coat on everything this morning. Will update this thread if anything odd happens. Very pleased so far...

    How can you sand base coat?

    Hey Mike, I think he went aggressive trying to get rid of paint runs. But I agree, that's way too aggressive for paint. Mike had an article about removing runs on the hood/front fender of his big red truck with sanding blocks, but I can't seem to locate it. I promise it didn't start with 200...

    303 fabric guard on Alcantara?

    Nick, just saw your post. Now I'm conflicted again, LOL. might try the inconspicuous area test.

    303 fabric guard on Alcantara?

    Well, When in doubt, read the label. LOL. WARNING: do not use on vinyl, plastics, rubber, fiberglass, or imitation suede. Damage will result from use. Protect these and other surfaces from overspray, wipe up overspray immediately. -1 for reading comprehension on my part.

    303 fabric guard on Alcantara?

    Thanks, Bob! I'll look into some other options as well. When cleaning my interior this morning, I was watching the sweat from my brow soak right into the seats and noted it probably needs some protection before my 2 year old daughter starts sitting in it. I have some 303 FG on hand and was...
