    Thank you. I'm trying to locate my paint code. Any recommendations as to where I should buy the paint? Should I get one of those pens or the bottles? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ok so the auto parts store only had those big curved rigid blocks. Should I fashion something myself. I have an old smooth backed iPhone case that is slightly rubberized and thought that might work in a pinch. Or I could cut and sand a small block of wood ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thank you! I'll stop by the auto parts store and see if they have a thin rubber sanding block. The only one I have is the ridged kind. I'll also check what levels of paper I have. Thanks for the tips. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm pretty much a total newbie. But I have some high grit wet sandpaper. If you give me an idea of what to do, I'd give it a go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ok starting to polish with a tangerine LC flat and Meguiars UC and I found some of these. What are these? I have a few of them on the hood. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    With time, most things get better. I am sure I will be happy with my results. However, I am certain they will pale in comparison to others, I am ok with that though. Practicing will improve skills, and the pride in doing it all is a satisfying driving motivator to success. =)

    I'm not sure I'll be at the level most people here obtain, but I'll do my best with what I have. For example, I don't really have much in the line of interior products. The cool thing with the jeep though, is that i have all my carpet boxed up in like new condition.... So after I clean the...

    Ya not really, just the wash and clay bar. I have to say that the clear bar alone made a huge visual enhancement to the overall look. I can't wait to see the next steps as I proceed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks for the feedback on the cannon. I can see where marketing and 'neat' factor into the sales. It just seems like the soap would stick around longer, instead of just washing with the two bucket method. Thanks for the feedback as well :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks again. I'll look up some of these products. I like the idea of a coating. Especially for the vehicles we are keeping. I'll check out some reviews on YT. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So I have some plastic parts, that were black at some point. Are there any real products that can actually restore the black look, for a few months etc? Or is it all just a 1-2 week "restore" at a time? This is the black part near the a pillar... The foot steps look bad, and the rear bumper...

    Awesome to know. Do you use the fine or medium nanoskin? I was thinking of going with medium an then the ultimate compound and m205 after. Thanks for the heads up on the paint. We don't own the gti yet. Going to sell the Harley and Jeep before we get it. I heard someone say the vw paint is...

    I think I may upgrade to a nanoskin pad for the da when I do my wife's honda. Or find a more aggressive clay. The Meguiars worked well, but it seemed to take awhile. Could be that the jeep is 12 years old and never been clay bared before. I would never recommend that griots bar to anyone. They...
