    Correcting a Black BMW - need input

    Thanks! Garage is cluttered because I am actually settling on a house tomorrow and moving the next day lol Thanks! The Menzerna seemed to bring out a finer finish - it seemed worthwhile to me! I shot these with a Canon 5D Mark II w/ Canon 24mm f/2.8L Mark II lens.

    P21S Customer Service!

    All that proves to us is that the cost of said item is extremely over priced such that they can send out 2 without issue ;) That said, nothing of my P21S was "broken" I am SURE if it came and was dried up or broken/etc. they'd have replaced it. Not sure why you're so mad. A backplate breaking...

    SON1C Synopsis 46 : Chemical Guys - Signature Series Wheel Cleaner Review

    I am new around these parts but I just bought my first CG product - "citruswash+gloss". Haven't used it yet, but I agree, they have TOO many products. As someone new to enthusiast-level detailing I am turned off by 10 car wash soaps. I like Pinnacle because they offer, basically, one of each...

    P21S Customer Service!

    P21S Customer Service!

    How am I to be sure they have a bunch of defective jars, though? I picked up one and it had an issue. I could call but it could just raise alarm. I let P21S know where I got it so they can tell what the dealers purchasing volume is and whether or not they have issues.

    P21S Customer Service!

    They had easily 20 jars of P21S wax on the shelf and I am sure they have more in the back.

    P21S Customer Service!

    You guys can be on whatever side you want. No, I didn't bother Thompson BMW over the matter because it was Sunday, they were closed, and I figured they're only going to let me exchange it but I am going to have to drive another 1 hr 20 min and my time is worth too much to do that. So, Sunday...

    P21S Customer Service!

    Ah right, "give me free stuff" mentality. I forgot that floods our society. I really just want to be made whole without having to drive 1.5 hrs round trip. They did that for me.

    P21S Customer Service!

    Yes. They are. However, with silly issues like this previously it'd be "Ok please return or exchange it at the location you bought it at." Over-night response and "give us your address we will send you a new jar." is pretty good service IMHO.

    P21S Customer Service!

    This weekend I was at the local BMW dealership (pretty far hike for me) to pick up some coolant for a project that I was in the middle of. I picked up some P21S wax while there only to get home and realize the inner jar and outer jar were not connected properly - almost seems like the ribs...

    Can I machine wash my LC CCS pads and others?

    Hi guys - wondering if I can machine wash my LC CCS pads. What about my Meguiar's SoftBuff ones? Thanks - any special things required to machine wash? They're such a pain to scrub clean and I have about 6 to clean.

    Fitting smaller pads on Griots 6"

    Thanks guys! Edit: Do the PC 7424 and Griots 6" have the same backing plate thread and all? I have a backing plate for my PC, maybe I can just use that?

    Correcting a Black BMW - need input

    Of course you do. I spent 20 mins on it to see how far I can bring the paint back. You see the before photos the car was a MESS. I did this in like 20-30 mins one night after work and it started thunderstorming so I just made quick work of getting some wax on it to protect.

    Correcting a Black BMW - need input

    Thanks - yeah I agree that wetsanding may be the only way to eliminate the orange peel. I am OK with how it looks right now, but I do see some videos on youtube of black BMWs (usually newer E39s, E60's, etc) where a detailer is done and its got less orange peel/crisper reflections. The car is...

    Correcting a Black BMW - need input

    Hey guys - so I am experimenting on a '95 530i in black. The car hasn't been washed in like 3 years. Never waxed in probably 5 years. It's horrible. That said, I just got a new buffer (Griot's 6" random) and some supplies so I wanted to try it out. Here are some before pictures: Black...
