    removing swirls of bmw paint

    My e28 with single stage paint would respond well to that. My titanium silver e39 showed no change after multiple section passes with the Megs MF DA system which is supposed to be pretty powerful. Depending on what car it is, your combo may be effective or ineffective. I think you should get...

    Interior Protectant

    I used Meguiar's #40 about a year ago and still haven't gotten the smell out of my car. Personally I hate the scent, too industrial. I'll keep the product for tires. Last time I did the interior I cleaned with diluted APC then used Wolfgang Cockpit Trim Sealant. Looks good and has a nice feel.

    Anyone ever use this? 1z rubber care stick

    I like the product and have used it on door seals all around, trunk seals, exterior window seals, even my wiper blades. It darkens the rubber and I do believe the sales hype about refreshing old seals A couple things I don't like. The applicator sponge fell off on the third car I used it on...

    I need help is 80 dollars good for exterior detail ?

    To answer one of your questions...A polish may or may not remove swirls depending on the paint, the detailer, and the tools. A glaze is usually used to hide swirls. So this is probably just going to be a quick two step, perhaps eliminate some, and cover the rest until the next car wash. To...

    Didn't know I had a respray till I got the autogeek eye

    I bought this car a few years ago. I didn't know a portion of the car was resprayed until I developed my eye. Of course now all I see is thick ugly respray when I look at my car. I think the color and flake are a great match, there is just a lot of excess paint on the car. The reflections...

    Do I need Blackfire Total Polish and Seal on my new car?

    If you have a rinseless wash already then you can probably just buy a clay bar instead of a kit, just use the rinseless at clay lube ratio. The pinnacle bar is big and only $20. Don't forget about your free sample, maybe an interior cleaner or tire dressing so you can skip buying a full size...

    Giveaway - BLACKFIRE BlackICE Hybrid Montan Sealant Wax!

    Count me in. I've got silver metallic paint that looks it's best with BFWD, but I'd love to try this to see what darkening effects it may have. These are my favorites. Love the shot breaking into the haze and these reflection shots

    Need help on method and chemical selection- single stage paint rejuvenation

    By hand with a microfiber. Lots of them (maybe 8) They will be heavily soiled by black paint by the time you are done so i wouldn't use them for beauty work after that I wouldn't be so fast to get the biggest hammer AKA 105 and a yellow pad. See how a mild correction works first, you want...

    Need help on method and chemical selection- single stage paint rejuvenation

    Is that a Canadian M5 or a 535is with shadowline? I just sold my black on black e28 last week after 10 years of ownership. It was a tough decision. About a week before I sold it I followed Mike's guide to Megs #7. I used the entire bottle. I thought it made a huge difference, so I'd...

    The detailing crimes you've committed!!!

    Is it a crime to make some 28 year old single stage black paint look great using an entire bottle of Megs #7 then photographing at dusk for a "for sale" ad? Thing sold in a week for way above market value. I get the spirit of the thread though. I'd definitely say... Dawn Same Chamois for 8...

    "Reputation Management" - Chem Guys

    I'm sure you've heard the term Reputation Management, that feelgood business buzzword for pumping 5 star reviews online. I was checking out a popular A to Z retailer for reviews of Chemical Guys Jetseal and noticed that as of Dec 2012 this product had 9 reviews over an 18 month period giving...
