Thanks! I guess I should have specified better. I agree with your first statement; that was why I asked specifically if anyone had experience with that particular trim on that particular vehicle. I only mentioned the same trim on all years as I didn't get what year the vehicle was. The customer...

Hi there, I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with the interior metal trim on a Chevy SSR? I've got a detail upcoming on one. It has some minor scuffs/very fine scratches on the interior metal trim on the doors near the handles. Just wondering what you all have found to work on the...

Very well done! It was almost surreal to see. Wish the selfie lady hadn't blinked but on the other hand, what can ya do? Pretty neat.

PlastX vote for me also. I have also treated them like paint with whatever compound I'm using though, then an LSP. Last vehicle I did with PRC has some pretty good sized tail lights that were molded in line with the back hatch so I used PRC on them. It worked great as well. Like Harpolith...

Well, I figured by now it was long gone. I'd love to give it a try but didn't see any reasons to try at this point. I actually figured it was gone after the first couple posts!

This is reviving an old thread (was trying to find some other information). But I just wanted to mention this in case someone else reads it and decides to go with it. Do you mean start with the LEAST aggressive method first? I understand the wheels are in pretty bad shape. But why not start with...

I use Firefox and have not had that problem. I had the opposite problem, in fact. I had put some things in my cart one day, then came back several days later to complete the purchase. Unfortunately I forgot I had already put a 32 oz. M205 in my cart and added it again without noticing now it...

Hi Mike, My apologies for not responding - I just noticed this post now. Thanks so much for sending the document out! I've already added it to my information packet to give customers and potential customers. I think it's a great idea. In answer to your questions: Yes, I do. One thing I like...

Who was that dude with the black hair that kept on popping up in your pictures blocking the view of the cool RVs? Just kidding. That looks like it had to be a really neat event - thanks for posting all the pics! I had no idea that RVs were that nice. No idea. That is too cool. Edit: Oops, just...

Wanted to post the resolution to this in case anyone else had this issue. I contacted Autogeek about it and they sent out another proportioner in case something was wrong with the first one. The second one acted pretty much the same. When I called again to speak to Tech Support, they indicated...

I don't know this for sure, but I'm wondering if perhaps the reason they mention that is because white paint is notoriously harder than black? It would seem like that would only apply with single-stage, but perhaps that's what they're referring to?

Like Mark mentioned, M105 can be slightly dusty. What I've done that seems to help is add a little bit of #7 to help prolong the work time of M105. So for instance, once the pad is primed, I'll put 4 large drops of M105 and 1 of #7. It seems to help the work time. As far as pads, I haven't used...

I had a hard time with the Ultimate Black Trim Restorer first time I used it but ever since I've loved it. It lasts well and makes the trim black again without a high-shine look or greasy feel. Maybe like Guz said, the critical thing is in the prep work. While I haven't used the Headlight...

Hi Mike, First, thanks so much for sending these out! It is very helpful. Received and have already started customizing it. Question for you: On the first page of this thread you also had a document titled "Additional Information" or "Glossary of Terms". I really like the idea of using a...

Well said Mike. I am currently having to replace EVERY MICROFIBER towel in my inventory that I would use on paint because in my break from detailing I made the mistake of doing woodworking in the garage with my MFs in a mesh hamper. Microfibers LOVE sawdust. Really, really stinks because I had...

Big. Blue. Note. Sorry, couldn't resist...

Not sure if someone already mentioned this but the Firehouse subs near me sells their 5 gallon pickle buckets for $2 each cash, no tax or anything. They're GREAT - sturdy as can be, usually with a lid with a rubber seal.

My advice? Use something that is actually designed for what you're working on. This includes not using a floor wax on an RV. I don't profess to know any of the chemistry involved. But I do tend to think the people who manufacture those products do and they design them to have the optimum results...

LOL! Sounds like that had to be fun to clean up! Hyper Wash is relatively thick, I guess (I just compared it to Meg's Ultimate WW and it's seems to be slightly thicker than UWW). About the same thickness as shampoo, although I know that's very dependent upon brand - maybe like Suave? Ha. In...

Tried that, too. Took it off, re-aligned threads, re-tightened. No difference. I would think if that were the issue the product would come oozing out the threads. Also, if anything it would be easier to press as the air would escape more easily through the loose threads. Have you ever used the...
