Hello AG friends, I have a 2008 Infinity I was restoring the Headlights on and the Owner asked me about the caked on bugs on his bumper, from what I can tell it looks like the bugs have been on there for some time as I don't see guts just looks like a lot of bumps on the bumper but it is bug...

wow really, I am going to have to try that I had it reversed but it was going nicely without as many streaks, it also has to do with how you apply it, instead of folding the Scotts Towel small I like to fold mine so its a bit wider and let that sit in the cup with the mix while I use mineral...

Absolutely fantastic job Gary, over all how long did it take you to do the whole car, I know that taking the video takes time as well but over all without video how long would you say it took? also want to say thank you so much for your advice a few months back when I called you about headlight...

Yes it did, I have been pretty busy sorry I didnt get back to this thread earlier. I did cut my towel in half and instead of folding into a small piece I folded it to almost the size of my four fingers and let it sit in the cup with the mix, I used two separate bottles for the Spar Urethane and...
