    stubborn wheels won't clean up

    I have an '04 Tahoe with the factory aluminum wheels. There is a lot of seriously stubborn dirt/brakedust that just will not clean off. I tried using Mequairs Hot Rims Wheel cleaner and than tried the DP Gel Wheel cleaner. On both products I tried brushing with a fairly stiff brush to attempt to...

    Dealing with New Car Orange Peel

    :whs: orange peel is a particular pet peeve of mine and I refuse to accept it on my show cars but because it's so common on pretty much all factory paint jobs I've learned to live with it (for my sanity's sake) on my daily drivers. You are not going to get rid of orange peel with a buffer...

    both the M105 and M205 are white. Both pretty much look and feel the same. M105 might have a slightly grittier feel to it but I'd have to specifically go out and test that for you. Just using the products I didn't notice any obvious or significant differences in the feel - of course I wasn't...

    I tried the #7 glaze on a small area and honestly didn't see any difference or improvement so just skipped it. Found I had a bottle of the the newer NXT 2.0 so decided to try that instead of using the #26 wax. I'm pretty happy with how things came out. Had the car out in the sunshine this...

    actually, it's probably simply more "beginners luck" than anything else! :)

    oh sure Emile, NOW you reply..... LOL I actually finished the M105/M205 yesterday. Tried a small area ans tested the #7 Show Car Glaze but honestly couldn't see any difference so decided not to go thru the trouble of the extra step. Was about to put on the #26 wax when I found I had a bottle...

    yeah, you are probably right regarding not really needing the sealant. I'll stick with the #26 and experiment with the #7 glaze to see if it makes any difference. I've heard concerns from others also about using the California duster. I figured it was better it try to get excess dust off before...

    thanks loudog1. :) really the first time using a buffer (my new Flex) and first time with M105/M205 so I was very pleased how well it seemed to come out, especially without having any learning curve behind me. I have no doubts at all someone more experienced would have gotten it even better...

    Hi I'm new on here. I've been lurking for some weeks now, reading a lot and trying to learn as much as possible. Wanted to post on a detail job I just did on one of my collector cars. I've been waiting to try the M105/M205 on my 1965 Corvette for a number of weeks. Had some nice weather the...

    Question on Claying & Polishing

    ok, thanks all. I figured the claying was still needed first but just wanted to make sure. Sal, I have the M105 also but it's listed as a very heavy cut so I figured unless the finish was really bad I wouldn't need it all that often. Am I wrong? Should I use the M105 for most scratch removals...

    Question on Claying & Polishing

    Hi all, I'm new to this forum. This might be a simple question but.... If I determine a car needs claying but also decide I need to do some polishing with my Flex 3401 for swirls and light scratches should I still clay it first. For polish with the Flex I have Meguiar's M205. Will the...
