    New to forum and had my first question with pics.

    welcome. id go up to 3000 grit. as Brad has said, it makes finishing them off easier. someone suggested only a couple of days ago that wiping them with diesel will actually remove a good deal of tarnishing. I've never tried it, so can't comment as to how well it works, but it might be worth a...

    I need help please

    glad i could help :xyxthumbs:. just make sure you use something 'low tack' and when you re-tape it from the other side, try to avoid pressing the tape down too much onto the area you've just polished.

    I need help please

    id just tape over it. as its very narrow, tape to the edge of it one side and polish up to that edge, then re-tape it from the other side and polish up to it again. hope that makes sense

    Miscible and Immiscible - Wax and Paint Sealant Bonding

    Surely that depends on how well it's been polished? and as the lsp will increase the gloss of the paint again, is it really an issue? Certainly having chemically clean paint allows sealants to bond better, thereby increasing their longevity; in fact it's a must with some nano sealants. I'm the...

    Am i still missing something???

    ahh, ok :xyxthumbs: personally i use the Dodo Juice merino wool pads, but i have a festool RAP150 which is a rotary. unfortunately they're not compatible with a DA. other things you might want to consider adding if you don't have them already are a good quality leather cleaner, a fabric and...

    Am i still missing something???

    speaking from experience, you can never have enough towels and MF cloths. realistically, most of your 'bread and butter' work is going to be wash and wax the outside, hoover, dust and dress the inside. if you're busy, you'll do 6-8 of those a day. 3 towels will not be anywhere near enough. i...

    Help with cleaning leather seats

    you should definitely be using a cleaner specifically for leather. i'd never recommend using an APC, you could be doing untold damage. I'm not sure if you can get it over there, but Dodo Juice leather cleaner is a fantastic product. the other one i can highly recommend is Auto Finesse 'Hide'.

    What can i do about consumer fraud? RETRO SOLUTIONS SCAM

    unbelivable! don't even think of complying. tell them once they've sent the replacement kit then and only then will you remove the complaint with BBB. intact, id just insist on a full refund. if they send you out another dodgy set you'll have to go through all of this again. get back in touch...

    Newbie from Queens NY with questions

    As a rule of thumb, if you can hook a fingernail into the scratch then is too deep to polish out and will require respraying. Otherwise it's quite possible that it will polish out, although it may also require sanding. Photos please :Picture:

    Finally made it to first page of google!

    I'm no expert on these things, but apparently google loves new things. in other words, the more often you update your website, the higher up you get placed. if a website is static, then it drops further down the list. even just going in and changing the way a sentence is written on a page should...

    Mobile detailing

    the one thing you need to be aware of with canopies is the wind. make sure you have some way of securing the legs (either weights or pegs). if you get a sudden gust of wind that catches hold of the canopy, the legs will do a lot of damage if they clatter into the car.

    Question on product cure time.

    does it specify waiting 48 hours before applying wax over it? if not then i'd just give it a couple of hours before waxing. the longer you leave it, the more contaminants you'll get in the glaze layer.
