    How do I remove Suction Cup Circles off Windshield

    Thanks. I'll pick up some clay next time I'm out and try that. The window itself isn't tinted but it is close to a tint strip I had installed years ago to recreate the old visor tint that used to come on vehicles back in the day.

    How can I polish out fine Scratches in Windows

    Thanks. Luckily, the glass is my Door glass so I can actually remove it prior to polishing. The rest of the glass is fine, aside from the usual 21 years of spotting and such that can easily be taken care of by other means. The door glass is the problem. I have new rubber seals for the door...

    Bought my first Polisher/Sander. What pads?

    ok thanks. I've read a few things about the PC not being that powerful but I don't see how it can be powerful enough to sand large areas but not run a similar size foam pad. I'm waxing a very large vehicle so I'm really wanting to use the biggest pad I can to cover the most area so I'm not...

    Thanks for the input. My typical products I use have mostly been Meguiar's store brands. I do occasionally use some of the Mother's store brands also but I've mainly used Meguiars for about the last 20 years when I first discovered it at my local paint shop before it was so common in retail...

    Please Educate me on Foam Pads and others

    I've been doing a lot of reading here and I haven't been able to find the answers to my questions. I've read many of the how many and what kind of threads related to the Foam pads. I understand the different colors and how they move from cutting to polishing and their densities. What I'm...

    Roll Call - What's your real first name?

    Um. John. I'm real original. My screen name is pretty much the identity that I was given back 30 or so years ago when I first went online with my C=64(you old timers will know this symbol) and signed on with Quantum Link. I was maybe 10-12 years old then. I'm 42 now.

    Bought my first Polisher/Sander. What pads?

    OK, I kinda decided on the Lake Country 6.5" pads, going on a LC 6" backer. Now my problem is, I have no idea which types I should get. I see Flat, CCS Waffle Pro. What's the difference, benefit, Pros/Cons of one style over the other? I know I won't need any of the harsher pads, Probably...

    Pointers on cleaning Truck with Topper?

    Thanks. Maybe it's the settings on your browser? I see where 2 of the photos I posted in the #2 post are side by side, maybe that's why? On my computers, the thread appears normal and isn't stretched. That's been on 2 desktops, 1 laptop.

    Pointers on cleaning Truck with Topper?

    OK, so I drive a truck. It also has a topper on it. I am wondering if there is a mitt on a pole, maybe a mop, anything that would work well to clean the truck and the windows that would fit between the 2 inch or so gap between the truck cab and topper. This is the only pic I have at teh...

    Bought my first Polisher/Sander. What pads?

    OK, well, where can I find out what pads are what? There are so many different ones , even from the same manufacturer, I don't know which ones are used for what purpose. I would assume the Coarse or cutting pads are for heavy cleaning of something like a badly hazed paint job and the polishing...
