So Ive got this motorcycle that someones boot touched the HOT chrome exhaust pipes and part of the boot burned onto the pipe in a few locations... I am wanting to know what would be the best way to go about removing the burnt on rubber from the chrome pipes and get them shinning again. Any...

I have a special brush I use only for cleaning the clay pad and I use plenty of lube when doing so. When I typically clay a car I clean the pad around 3-6 times per car. I also only clay pad by hand and yes I only use nano skin clay pads from auto geek.

My dad has a 71 GTO I'm pretty sure I am going to have this same issue.. It has been repainted and you can see the deep sand marks. I will see if I can get some pics of the car and post up. Pretty sure it's a single stage paint still with the repainted but who knows. If it's single stage paint...

OK, so I had some time this evening to play around with my clay pad and clay towel... First I tired the clay towel as it is for light contaminates. Sprayed pretty heavy with the clay lube to make sure the paint was well lubricated. After a few passes like I would normally be doing on a car I...

Yes the nano skin pads I am talking about. As far as something getting trapped between the pad and paint on the car I work By hand with the pads like on you would with a traditional clay bar. However I am constantly checking the pad and cleaning the pad quite often threw out the claying...

I do happen to have a clay towel I know is a bit less aggressive... So I may have to do a test with the both of those... Just curious why you use only the traditional clay bars? Have you tried or tested out the new clay pads?

Thanks for the input but it was more than marring looked like scratches. But I will have to do a test on the Viper this next weekend and will report back. May even do a video on the issue.... On a side note you think I would have any better luck using the traditional clay bar?

The clay pad has been used several times before this. It was not a new pad but it was however still in good shape. And anytime I detail a car I clay the windows as well.

Good to know. So how do you get around this issues when claying the paint on a porsche or any car with soft paint for that matter? On my Viper not the one in the pic but my 09' The paint is stupid soft on it. Have yet to try a clay pad on it but I know someday I will have to.

Was a 2015 Porsche Macan. Used plenty of lube. I know before I started working on it the owner mentioned they ran it threw the car wash twice. The drive threw car wash EEK!

Well the other day was claying a car with one of the clay pads I got from autogeek. It was a black car and I noticed when claying the paint it looked as if it was putting scratches in the paint. I typically clay in straight lines and after doing a section the paint looked like I had put in some...

Got mine in the mail today... First impressions..... Do not like the power switch on the side. Remind me of the old Generation GG6 polisher I had and hated it being on the side. Needs to be on top for better control and easier to access. Very poor design as for that part goes. Not well...

Got mine ordered up. Looking forward to getting it and trying it out. Will be posting a review and feed back as well as possibly a video.

Anyone get there new pe8 yet? Any feedback yet? Really interested in getting one.

Still lots of great info coming in everyone. Can't express how much I appreciate it. Keep more great info coming, or anything you think may be helpful to me. I am going the Eco friendly way of auto detailing. AKA Waterless. I am sure some customers will not want it and other may like it how I...

Thanks and yes a website is a big thing I defiantly want to do. I think the hardest thing is thinking of a company name that sounds professional and legit and something with a catchy name that people will remember. Something that is not already taken is the hard part. lol Thanks again for all...

I polished out a GTI this past weekend and who whole time while doing the car I had that issue. seems to clear up a little bit towards the end of the job. but still saw the black specs of rubber.... Still unsure what I want to do about it. maybe do another 1 or 2 cars.... if still have the...

Wow, Lots of good info here! Really appreciate it everyone. I am only looking to do this as a side business. I have been detailing cars, all word of mouth, but am looking to go legit as its the right thing to do and it will give me and my business a lot more credibility. Any more helpful...

I am willing to mess with it myself but not if its going to be a issue with returning it or swapping it out for another.... From the feedback I am getting it sounds like ill be needing that washer. Just really dissapointed that I need to hassle with modding a polisher after paying top dollar...
