All good advice except that a rotary with a 3" pad and the carpro rayon pads will be quicker and even then it's not a quick process...

I selected the factory wheels I preferred.... Re finish, piano black and cnc cleared faces are the most work to keep pristine of any finish I have had to work on... Same reason polished gloss black paint is hard work. Look awesome when cleaned... Ordinary 10mins later...

Right now go get a rotary... 😜

Yup, just finished a coat of liquid souveran, DA and scholl waffle black abrafil pad.... Slurp....

I use a combination of lights, LED spotlights on an adjustable stand, The garage 2 sets of quad flouro's LED bike lights... And natural lights through the garage Windows... Often the most effective Changing my position to look across the panel is especially required on white panels... Often...

Alchohol will not "HURT" paint.. per se but rubbing paint with a MF cloth which has alchohol on it can, but this is due to he alchohol being a pretty poor lubricant, rather than the chemical itself.... Alchohol also flashes off very quickly so it won't leave much behind as long as you give it a...

1./ IRON X no, the Carbon black in the washed off solution yes.... can be mitigated by rnsing off the car and chasing to the drian etc.... 2./ Yes if for instance you had wheels lying on th egrass and you applied it to them off the car direct spray will burn the grass. The activated and rinsed...

Had to replace main bearing and water seal on an LG after 7 years.., could get the parts but it was like changing a top end bearing.. had to rip the whole machine into about 100 pieces to get the drum out.. got it done and back together and got another 4 years out of it.. fair play it lasted...

Yep straight water with a MF will often do the job just as well.. all my maintenance clens are just that.. I use APC and have had no issue to date.. but it use it infrequetly (every 3 months of so on drivers seat only) and diluted 10 to 1... I do finish my seats with a leather conditioner...
