Is that obsidian black 212 or is it onyx 202? Hard to tell the difference but the onyx is single stage and to me is one of the deepest blacks I've seen when polished correctly. I think the obsidian has slightly dark blue tinted clear.

Megs body solvent is a 60% odorless kerosene 40% naphtha mix. Give or take a bit on the mix percentage. I know that Naphtha is used by many places as a body solvent to prep the paint work. My buddy who worked at a toyota factory told me they use it before applying decals and emblems. It's also...

Awesome work as usual. Always enjoy reading your threads and picking up advice and product recommendations. I'm gonna try some 205 on the chrome trim on my GC. I owned a 2007 GC diesel before I picked up a new one in 2012. I loved it. It had tons of torque and the mileage compared to the other...

They make very good products. Their products include the p21s. I use mostly products from their line when I'm in Germany for a few months every year.

Folex works really well on general stains. For "specialty" stains it's always a little harder to remove them. With carpets you don't want to use force to try to remove the stains either. You could easily damage the fibers. Different types of stains need different cleaners. Depending on if...

I had the same thing happen when I treated the top on a 645 I had a few years ago. I used a bmw product before I knew about 303. For me it happened from not allowing enough time for the product to "set" before applying another coat. No harm. I did notice that when I used thin coats and allowed...

You only have 20 minutes to edit posts. Car looks great though.

That's what I do with a medium bristle brush. It's just attached to my shop vac so I'm sucking out the dirt as I loosen it with brushing. Then I go over it with my regular nozzle.

For the scratches on your radio screen you could use a polish like Meguiar's Plastx to remove them. That looks like a tough area to get to though, and you don't want to apply too much pressure to avoid damaging your screen. For the textured hard plastic scratches some people have had some luck...

+1 on agitating dry with a brush. Or if you have the brush attachment for your shop vac you could use that and save a step.

The main ingredient in Megs body solvent is deodorized kerosene.

Home depot carries one called orange plus. It's one of the only d-limonene cleaners that doesn't have other cleaners added to it. D-limonene is fine on aluminum.

I buy pure dilutable d-limonene from a company that produces it in St. Petersburg. I use it around 10% as an apc cleaner. For removing adhesives and tar and grime I'll go up to 50%.

d-limonene disolves the adhesive. I found this out after leaving it soaking on a dirty rim for too long and having the weights fall off. It doesn't doesn't damage the wheel finish either. It can be found in orangle based cleaners.

The dip dissolver is is a d-limonene based product. It will soften the plasti dip quickly. Plasti dip disolves in chlorinated solvents, ketones, turpentine. I'm not sure how those will affect the wheel finish though. A d-limonene cleaner would be the safest route to use on the wheels.

Awesome vette nice job. Those forged 360 mesh 8 wheels do have a big price tag. Look really good though.

Ohh okay. They both look really good, especially for being the first few times you used you GG. I'm about to correct my first single stage paint. 1999 white sl500.

Nice job on the truck. The paint on your Toyota looks awesome now. What are you not happy with? Remember that things like factory orange peel usually won't be corrected with compounding and wetsanding factory clear isn't really recommended since it's thin. And unless it's a show car I would...

I picked just picked up a 6hp ridgid at HD on sale that included the car detailing accessories no charge. The car accessories cost $40 separately and I paid $99 for the package. The vac has scroll noise reduction, I thought that was just advertising and big words until I used it. I can actually...
