    actual chrome bumper, but rusty

    Pic is of a bumper bolt that's showing rust. Many others on bumper as well. I've seen some info on types of "iron removal" gels and such that are applied then washed/wiped off. I've even seen some pics of a product that was used on paint to remove contaminants (metal based I suppose). What re...

    3M clear products..tried it?

    I have an area inside my car that is just left of the driver and just right of the passenger made of black plastic trim, it's a vertical piece. When releasing the seatbelt (even when being careful) it, the buckle, seems to hit this plastic piece and leave a mark. I know that the mark can be...

    scratch repair with spray paint, help please

    Your right, didn't go with any tools. That would have been a mistake. I did go with a small sponge rubber block with 1000-1500-2000 wet. I think I'll have to take some of the bigger scratches (made by 1000) down with the 2000. Then I can M105. I did get down to the 2000 on the door and then...

    scratch repair with spray paint, help please

    Thanks RoadRage. I've just been cleaning an polishing my cars. Nothing more than that. We painted a plastic bumper together about 20+ years ago after we backed into a dumpster. We weren't too worried about a real nice finish back then on that car. I only have a DA with some GG mach polish...

    white/blue clay..difference?

    So DLaw says red is aggressive then the blue is average. I think the blue or white will probly suit my needs. But what would cause the need for an 'agressive' clay?

    white/blue clay..difference?

    Had always used Meg's quick detailer kit with white clay. The other day I saw and bought a Meg's plastic jar with blue clay labeled "mild". That blue clay seemed less dense, lighter per same size than the white. Much more pliable as well. Are the various clays more to less aggressive and noted...
