    Drying Towel Scratches

    Some of it comes down to not just the drying towel you use but also how you use it. I think if you use the "Matador method" with a clean, quality MF drying towel you will be less likely to instill any FOD to your paint, and if somehow you still do, it will be less than if you had rubbed with a...

    Door panel problem

    If you are talking about the dulling on the trim ring around the switch button, I agree that trim paint is probably the best solution. If you see brown, the area may be worn down far enough to expose the substrate color of the plastic. Another option is maybe you could replace that trim ring...

    How to get better foaming on cannon?

    Question : Is the amount of foam generated really indicative of cleaning power, lubricity, etc. ? I ask because we had a similar discussion about the amount of suds generated by different car wash products, whether it really made any difference as products are formulated differently. :dunno:

    Micro Polisher for Weekend Detailer

    I'm in a similar position as OP and have been looking in to a polisher in this class ... I'm about convinced it is well worth the additional $100 or so for the ibrid. :dunno:

    Wood Lathe recommendations?

    This is very true, and then the differentiator becomes the quality of drive motor and controls used.

    Hints to polish these VW englishtowns / speilberg wheels

    Oh, I definitely agree on the cone. Also, for REALLY tight spots, I will break out the Dremel and one of their soft, cloth polishing "cones" as they call them (really they are more like little solid nubs of cloth tapered to a rounded tip) ... obviously just for light imperfections as you cannot...
