That's an issue I see often that I can't get all the polish off so when I bring that portion of the car in the sun can't tell if holograms are real or just the polish. Will try IPA/water mixture this weekend and next time I place an order, will try Gtehniq. Think I have a bottle of Eraser in...

So frustrating after searches not being able to find the answer to a question I know is out there Anyway, as you wipe down after polishing an area what do you use? IPA, Mineral Spirits, etc? Are these solvents the mainstay everyone uses or are they too harsh to use throughout the polishing...

Everything worked out well. Decided to start with SIP (orange pad) and then 106P (white pad) with rotary and finialized with PO85 (blue pad) with DA. Took out about 95% of scratches and all swirls that plaqued the car throughout and brought gloss back nicely. Will seal and wax in 2 weeks when...

Daughter has an 2006 black Elantra that I want to work on as it has gone through years of sitting outside with all sorts of scratches, swirls, you name it. Thought of going with 2400 first (maybe 400 in some areas), then finishing off with 3500. Is a middle step needed prior to 3500? If yes...

Okay, thanks for the help. I probably erred by starting too soon. Will have car under canopy, then wash it to give it a better chance to cool down.

Just curious, will temps in the mid-80's affect using Menzerna? Had an issue this weekend, stopped polishing my daughter's car as the polish would dry up quickly. Had no opportunity to work it, at all. Car is under a canopy and sat for over an hr out of the sun before I started. Will try...

That's a great story!! Wish you the best! Gotta give you credit though, other than my immediate family I have little interest detailing for other people, although many ask as they pass by my house on weekends.

All those little black dots that get baked on the engine manifold and some ion the inside of wheels. Anyway to remove them? Tried various chemicals and tools but don't want to scratch anything. Will a steamer work with this? Thanks, Howard

Actually, I am looking into that as an option.

Got my hands on some TSW Max black painted wheels. Now how do I clean and protect them while reducing swirls, if that is possible? I am not sure if they are coated or uncoated. Thanks, Howard

Interesting no one mentioned this or I just missed it but I always put a cap full in both the wash (with soap too) and rinse buckets.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will keep it in mind if this falls through. I have the opportunity to buy a used extractor locally but didn't know if it is strong enough to pull water up and if the 150 degrees was hot enough. Howad

Tried different Advanced Searches but couldn’t find specific information. We have 3 cars with light colored interiors. like to get an extractor to clean them all up. What are good requirements for a non-business used extractor? I saw one selling close by with the following specs, will they...

My son lives in Florida (actually about 25 miles from AG). He doesn't have much in terms of correction equipment but was wondering what is the simplest method he can use to remove the 2 patches? Thanks, Howard

I see conflicting comments, just want to confirm. Is this for cold weather application or cold weather wear? This would be applied during the summer but I live in northeast so snow, salt, etc. would be a factor. Thanks, Howard

As I read thru this are there no viable electric heaters? May be more expensive to run but no fumes and safer. Howard

Yes, Johnny Bench was a great player. He helped the Reds kick our butts back in '76 when he was MVP in the World Series.

Just wondering: 1. Does the PC work well with the brushes? 2. What speed(s) do you use for Upholstery vs Carpet? 3. What cleaner(s) do you use? 4. Which brush(s) do you use? 5. Any tips you can share? Thanks Howard

What's the difference between C1 Crystal Lacquer vs. EXO? Looking to purchase a coating but just starting to look into them. Thanks, Howard

Okay, so I'll just stick with FK425 Thanks
