Haha, because of the meet, I finally decided to purchase the Rupes and never looked back. Good purchase!

Nope, I do not. I am just a enthusiast and work only on my cars.

:welcome: from another SoCal member!

Yup, I agree. I sprayed it on my wheels and the stuff that did get on the weights ended up turning green. A quick wipe/scrub with APC will remove that with little effort.

One more question even thougj I am sure what the answer is, 4500 will remove sealants correct, with either white or black pad?

Nice article, currently I am using LC White CCS Polishing Pad with SF4000. Do you guys think this is a little too aggressive for just a "maintenance"(for a lack of a better word) polish or should I start using 4500 instead?

If anything, I think warm water actually helps in the process of breaking down/loosening dirt and grime.

Yup, luckily I waited and saw this last night. Picked up some CQuartz I have been wanting to try. 1 MEN-FG400P - 16 oz. Menzerna Fast Gloss Compound FG-40 33.99 1 DSM-8000-FREE - Free Daytona Speed Master PRO Wheel Br 0.00 1 CP-1 - 30 mL. CarPro CQuartz Ceramic Quartz...

I have never personally done it but I will assume a heat gun will be involved to heat up the adhesive then peel off carefully.

I would have to recommend AMMO Mud. Even after a good tire scrub during a wash, you can tell the gel is still on there. I usually don't have to reapply until after 2 washes or so. So about once a month I reapply.

Opti-Lens would be a more permanent solution and your best bet for your headlights after restoration.

I think for the people, including me, that does a wash after correction is to remove any dusting that may have collected between panel gaps and to remove polishing oils at the same time.

Been using Opti-Glass on my windshields and it is still holding strong.

If you want a more longer lasting solution, I highly recommend CarPro DLux. It is a good coating for plastic trim.

I've seen bottles have different labeling locations. Some bottles you add chemical first then water and some bottles are the opposite. For example: Meguair's bottles label 10:1 on the very top of the bottle so you add 10 parts water FIRST up to the line then add solution until it fills up to...

Yup, my process was: Wetsand - 1000 > 1500 > 2000 > 2500 > 3000 Compound - M105 with Orange LC Cutting Pad Polish - M205 with White LC Polishing Pad I did them on both headlights and passenger never came out perfect or the way I wanted it.

I have the same exact problem on our Lexus. Driver side came out great, but passenger side still kind of foggy. I went over the steps more than once to get the results but never got it. Driver side Passenger side Either I have to get a new set or just live with it and decided to just...

So far I have only got to try WG Leather Conditioner and I like it a lot. It wipes away with a matte natural look. I smells funky when applying but let the smell dwell in your car for a while or bake it in the sun and it becomes that new leather smell again.
