    Paint correction on BMW 535i Alpine White with XMT swirl remover

    I would definitely try the 5" backing plate and maybe an all in one - HD SPEED has been doing great for me.

    Plastic Cracking

    If that's plastic trim/spoiler piece then that looks like sun damage. If it is a painted piece then that looks like clear coat failure. I would say that polish and polishing could exacerbate that situation.

    Ammonyc

    I can't speak to the margins or the quality of the brush but what I can say is he produces a top notch quality set of videos. His paint products have always proven to be exactly what he claims in his videos and I got my introduction into detailing by watching and re-watching his videos. I take...

    A moment of silence or will this buff out?

    OK so after getting a lackadaisical response from the first body shop I called to the next on the list and boy the response was night and day. They had an appointment available that day, very professional service, and picked up by the rental company at the body shop. I asked to ensure the...

    Terrible water spots!

    Just make sure the spots are truly removed before applying a coating. You can use an IPA to make sure they are truly removed.

    Thank you. They mentioned something about equal size and functions but at $25/day. I will make sure it is on the other guy's insurance.

    A moment of silence or will this buff out?

    Couldn't decide what I should title this thread but I guess I am posting here because this is the group who can understand my pain at a different level. My family was rear ended this afternoon and while all seem ok other than shaken up - my rear bumper etc look a bit worse. Gonna go through...

    Steaming a car exterior?

    The only time I have heard of this being done is when the rubber seals are severely deteriorated (Model T or other vintage/barn find.). This was a before the release of waterless but I could see that it would be really coated in dirt but can't do a two bucket. There is a video of Larry Kosilla...
