    Pinnacle glass cleaner with water repellant.

    I've been using the Glass Cleaner since December 2015 and I really like the product. I purchased this as part of the Pinnacle Perfect Glass Care combo with the Waffle Weave Microfiber Glass Towels and together they do a great job. I'm on my third gallon of the Glass Cleaner.

    Alloy Wheel Scraping Repair

    Re: Painted or Polished Wheels? I looked at the photo you posted again and it looks like most of the damage is on what appears to be a polished outside edge. Was the painted area damaged as well? If the wheel is going to need to be machined anyway I would look to sand parallel to the flat edge...

    How to remove Klasse AIO? Causing wiper chatter

    I've been using Pinnacle GlassCoat Window Sealant with Rain Repellent on three vehicles since they were new. Two with OEM factory wiper blades and one that was changed to Bosch ICON's. I'm applying this every 3 months or so and getting good water beading until the next application. I just...

    Alloy Wheel Scraping Repair

    Charles, The backer board was a short piece of scrap hardwood from my shop, 3/4" x 3/4" x 6" that I wrapped the sandpaper around to keep it flat and not dish out the section of the rim. There will be a small amount of taper and blending necessary since you are removing material from the edge of...

    The sanding discs I used were the 220G flat discs. I had them already. The damage I removed was somewhat deep like the video you found but was confined to the outside edge. 412 Sanding Discs 220 Grit - dremel.com

    Alloy Wheel Scraping Repair

    I actually used a 220G sanding disk that fits on a spindle and is held with a small machine screw and free handed that part to remove the heavy damage then moved to hand sanding as I described above. The damaged area was 1/2" wide at the outermost edge of the wheel. I wrapped the sandpaper...

    Alloy Wheel Scraping Repair

    I had something similar happen with the right rear wheel of my Ram pickup. About 8"-10" along the outside edge of the wheel was damaged on an 8" high concrete curb that the rear wheel rode up against. I began by sanding the scratches with a small sanding disc (1" diameter) on a Dremel tool...

    What's the best wax for Black metallic paint?

    As the others have mentioned prep is key to getting good results. Even on a new vehicle you could have surface contaminates from shipment to the dealership or time sitting on the lot. Use the "baggie test" and check the surface of the various panels to determine if you need to clay the...

    Help with a door ding in a new car..

    I used the Keco Robo Mini Lifter to glue pull small dents from 2 vehicles. Like anything else, you need to research the tools and glue to get the right products for the job at hand. On my wife's 2015 Durango I pulled a small hail dent on the upper section of the driver's side rear door. I needed...

    Mckees 37 tire coating? Multiple coats?

    The last time I scrubbed down the tires with Tire & Rubber Rejuvenator was the end of October. I applied a single coat after cleaning with soap and water and allowing the tires to dry. They still look great.

    Mckees 37 tire coating? Multiple coats?

    I've been using McKee's Tire Coating for over 2 years now and frequently get 3 months or more longevity before needing to scrub the tires down with McKee's 37 Tire & Rubber Rejuvenator and re-apply (2) coats. The key to using this coating is that the tires must be absolutely free of previous...

    DP Tire Coating

    The tire dressing I'm referring to is the solvent based dressing (Megs Hot Shine that was previously applied). In order for the DP Tire Coating (now McKee's 37 Tire Coating) to work correctly the old solvent based tire dressing needs to be completely removed. The McKee's 37 Tire & Rubber...

    DP Tire Coating

    I had similar results the first time I used DP Tire Coating. I thoroughly cleaned the tires with DP Tire & Rubber Rejuvenator (3 times on each tire) then brushed on a coat of DP Tire Coating and waited until dry then added a second coat. The tires looked kind of dull so I tried a third coat. The...
