KEEP THEM! They compliment the wheels.

I have an order coming that includes 105, 501, and 601. I work by hand. Cars are 2010 pearl white Subaru Outback, and 2008 white Honda Civic. Question, that I can't seem to find an answer to, is; do any of the dg products listed above have mild scratch, or swirl reducing capabilities? thanks...

Great tips. Clearly talking to the right people. I'll pull the bike apart before applying anything. Colli paste wax once or twice per year then (easy,cheap). What do you think about one of those clear films for a mountain bike?

Thinking of getting a new mountain bike. The bikes get ridden hard here in coastal BC. What options do I have to protect aluminum? Suppose by some miracle of miracles I was able to afford a carbon fiber bike, how would you folks protect composites?

Hmmm. I see. I would never have guessed myself to do anything too carefully, but ok, good to know. thanks

...or am I on crack? First hand wash after Pac NW winter. Used Dawn. Is it possible that Colli 845 did not get fully cleaned away? I know it lasted pretty well, applied Nov, but can it sustain a Dawn attack? Possible? Probable? Likely?

I'm the one laughing! I can't express how good it feels to have a hobby where correction is the objective. Perfect for me! The wheels came out great. I used Megs uc by hand. The stuff worked so well that towards the end I was actually getting lazy, thinking "meh, I can get those smaller...

thanks everyone. I'm certain this is the last dumb thing I'll ever do.

Scuffed Clear Coated Wheels

well thank you, I dabble...but I'm too much of $#@##$^%@$ and eventually ruin everthing I touch. Again, thank you ;)

better shot. Note the minty flavour of the wheel before blemish. Why?

no DA yes, they can be felt with a fingernail

Bought some used wheels with snow tires on them. Swapping out my stock civic wheels (pristine) I stupidly gave a couple kicks to each wheel to loosen them. I scratched my beautiful stock wheels with my dirty boots. Is there a product that will diminish scratches on alloys? thanks

Inuit members is what you meant. Maybe this adage will become relevant with global warming, hope not.

Two guys at work have new f150's. They were talking about washing and waxing. I listened, and then printed the "How to Wash" article (available here) for each of them. They understood what detailing was when I told them that was step 1 (of at least 3) for a new vehicle. They don't think I'm...

how long does it take to cure?
