All 5 windows and a strip on the windshield

Looking at getting my windows tinted and curious what you guys are paying for similar vehicles. Average price I've found is $180 for a 2012 Silverado.

Im looking to buy a steamer, I dont need anything fancy as im just a hobbyist and will only be using it on a handful of vehicles. What would be a good unit to get started with without breaking the bank?

I'm wanting to coat my exhaust tips. I don't have a lot of experience with any of the different coatings. What are you guys using to do this?

I used the GG6 with 5.5 lc flat orange and white, and a PC with 3 hydro techs. It took me about 10 hours of compounding/polishing. I took my time and worked slow though. The cruze I just completed was done with GG6 and hd adapt on a white pad and it cut all the swirls and light scratches and...

I just done a 2 step on my 2012 silverado and found it was hard but not super hard. That's after compound with 105. After 205 Look into getting hd adapt I just used it on a cruze and was blown away by how much cut and finishing ability it has.

I always go by hour on something like that. I had the opportunity to do one a few years ago. I only had to spot buff it and polish the chrome and man was it a job but paid great.

Rouge and a cutting/finishing wheel. Followed by flitz polish applied by hand or flitz ball. I'm really intrigued by blackfires system and could see myself investing in if if I have to do heavily damaged rims.

When you are doing a one step with mf pads are you guys generally using cutting or finishing pads? I know there are a ton of variables involved in this answer. Without getting a ton of in depth answers I'm simply curious which one you use more in a one step correction?

I built the light from the last page on that autopia thread and have been very pleased with it. I did use different bulbs however. Pm me if you want to know the bulbs I used.

The majority of my pads are the lc flat pads. I usually use the orange for compounding, white for polish, grey for lsp/wax. To keep it really simple you could go with lc hydro tech pads. That line offers 3 pads one for cutting, polishing and finishing. I have the hyrdro's for my 3" pads. You...

I also use Meg's d101. Diluted 1:4 in a foaming spray bottle. Works well for me. Cleaned my tires right up after winter.

1 part Isopropyl alcohol to 1 part distiller water. You could also use carpro eraser but IPA is cheaper

I have access to a shed but I cant leave my truck in there overnight. I usually get a full wash, clay, tape, and compounded then I go home. When I go back the next morning ill inspect and either do an ipa wipe down, or rinseless wash very carefully. If you're going to polish the slight marring...

Im not a pro at this at all, I correct about 5 vehicles a year plus mine. I've found you have to figure out what works for you, but maintain the good principles and techniques that the videos show. My truck has alot of curves and subtle edges. Sometimes you cant work a 2x2 area. You have to work...

Im looking for a new one step combo. Almost all of my scheduled corrections are on black, dark blue, or burgandy colors, mostly gms and fords. I've been using m205 on a megs mf cutting, or lc orange but it just isnt cutting enough for me. I dont want to step up to m105 because it doesnt...

Hope this helps
