    Car side mirrors. Glass?

    Are car side mirrors real glass or some kinds of plastic? I just bought a set of 2012 Mustang mirrors & the glass is swirled up pretty bad. Wondering what to try to restore them with.

    2014 Shelby GT500

    Absolutely superb! Quite the transformation from before to after!

    '13 Mustang GT corrected & coated

    Personal preference I guess. I like them myself. They're Boss 302 Laguna wheels sold by Ford Racing.

    '13 Mustang GT corrected & coated

    My 1st coating job is complete. I was going to use my wife's car as a guinea pig, but a customer called. The car was swirled up pretty bad all over. Wolfgang TSR wasn't working very well, so I broke out my bottle of Menzerna SHC 400, which the swirls were no match for. Then I polished with...

    Post Your Most Uneducated Comments Ever Received In Detailing History

    One of my regular customers called me last week & asked if "that stuff you put on my car protects it from hail?" He said he'd driven through a hail storm & didn't get any dents from it. I kinda chuckled to myself & just told him that, while I'd like to take credit for it, the sealants I use...

    Deceptive site huh

    I noticed right before I started getting the warnings that there appeared to be ads for movies in several of the forums. I knew something was going on so I logged out. Next day neither Chrome nor Firefox would let me on.

    another McKee's 37 High Def Paint Sealant Review

    Interesting you said that you can't say it's slicker than WDGPS, as I've been hoping to find someone comparing the two. Also with Power Lock. The McKees certainly seems like a less expensive alternative to the other two.

    WGDGPS cure time?

    I always wait at least a half hour before wiping off any sealant.

    2016 Camaro

    I wish ALL winters were like this one! Greenfield is a nice little town. We built a house here back in 2007 when I retired from the Navy. Which businesses do you visit?

    2016 Camaro

    This car belongs to a neighbor of mine, a USMC Viet Nam Vet. He buys these base V6 Camaros every year or 2, & has me keep a shine on them. No special work here. Just decon'd the paint with my new blue Nano Skin sponge. (1st time trying it, & I was impressed). His dog goes everywhere with him, &...

    ERA Shelby Cobra

    Very nice car & work. I'm not familiar with ERA replicas. I see a lot of Factory 5's, & a local guy has a Superformance one with an all aluminum bored & stroked Carroll Shelby 427. Like 427 cubic inches isn't enough for a light weight car like that!

    Looking for a new sealant

    It's stories like that that I keep hearing about coatings. How much easier it is to keep cars clean. Definitely looking fwd to doing a few & seeing for myself.

    Looking for a new sealant

    The "hit it with the water and it was clean" part really intrigues me. I just got my 1st bottle of MK37 coating & I'm waiting for some spare time to apply it.

    Yes, Meghan, thanx. I hate it when good discussion turns into an argument.

    '71 SS 454 Chevelle

    You here in Indiana? I'll be going to the show sometime over the weekend. Not sure which day yet.

    Great work & sweet ride. I have a boosted Stang myself, although it not exactly Eco!

    '71 SS 454 Chevelle

    He only wanted me to do the paint. The chrome is in really good shape. Car was repainted a 3 or 4 yrs ago & I think he replaced the bumpers then. They're the only chrome left. The rest has been powder coated black.

    '71 SS 454 Chevelle

    Ok it's a clone, not an actual SS. A buddy wanted me to get this '71 Chevelle all ready for the O'Reilly World of Wheels show in Indy next weekend. It had swirls in some spots (as evidenced by the stripe) so after claying I gave it my trusty Menzerna treatment; spot corrected with SHC 400, went...

    Black vehicles

    Some will recommend a finishing polish after FG400. I probably would recommend that myself, although I've one-stepped with FG400 on a few black cars & been happy with the results. SF4000 or 4500 (or whatever their new names are) are excellent finishing polishes to follow behind FG400. EX-P...
