I'm happy to test.

I'd like to try: -Spray on Wax -Speed shine

Never thought of wet sanding actually, never tried it on rims. Has anyone ever done this? Would I do it just like wet sanding head lights, using compound/polish to buff out the scratches. I'm just wondering if I'll make them look worse if I can't buff out the wet sanding scratches because the...

Ya but do you think I can actually buff them out regardless of product? I didn't know if they would be to hard, coating and all.

Hi guys, My dad used a Brillo pad on his rims and scratched them up pretty good. I'm thinking compound and a wool rotary to try to buff them out? I could use any suggestions you guys have?

That was so much fun to read. I love the results, unreal! Everytime I see you use a certain product/pad combo I want to run out and get it to achieve the same results. I know, I know, user experience, conditions etc... all affect it but what you do to cars is awesome! Thanks for the great...

I used 1000 and skipped to 2000, compounded and polished and the outside turned out fine. I know its weird how the inside is messed up to but its not the outside for sure. I think I'll just leave well enough alone. You have to accept when there's nothing more you can do I guess.....

My mom has a Chrysler Sebring with badly oxidized headlights. I wet sanded the outside and brought the clarity back pretty good but when looking closer the the problem extends to the inside! It still looks a little yellow or cloudy. How do you get to the inside or what do you use to clean it...

Ok, I'm looking to pick up some D151 to speed up my daily driver details. Most people don't want to spend the money for the extra steps for a full detail. My question is what is the duration for the protection after using this? 1 2 3 months etc... I can always top it but I want to tell the...

Thanks for all the great suggestions, I really like those wheel brushes. I pick up one from harbor freight, looks somewhat similar, but it can't hold its shape well. These look real nice. So many decisions!

I have SwirlX and Ultimate Compound and Megs #83. Lets say I do some error correction with the rotary, using UC, which of these do you think I should follow up with on the DA to remove any holograms etc...?

I've actually tried this, no luck. It did help get a good bit off but not clean. A buddy of mine used to use an acid based cleaner when he detailed at his dads car dealership and that stuff took everything off. Also put streaks in some rims if they weren't careful. I'm wondering if my only...

How much time will really be saved? I know using the rotary is obviously faster. When you follow it up with a DA how long will you have to polish to remove the light swirls etc. left by the rotary? It's not correction but what would be involved in the final step with the DA and what type of...

I don't have ARO yet... I was wondering if it would do the trick? What is everyone else using to get the back of the rim clean. I notice b4 and after pics everyone love to show they can get it clean but what are they using to do it?

I've used several wheal cleaners that clean the face of the rims easily. What will clean the caked on break dust that sits behind the rim or on the inside. I use a brush to get back in there to agitate but I cant get it clean. I thought of trying Amazing Roll Off but I want something that I know...

I just used 845 for the FIRST time on my two black cars this weekend and I absolutely LOVED it! :dblthumb2: I did what everyone said and put in on thin. Came right off and left a shine like no other. I never heard about the dust attraction but I did notice it now that you mention it. Would an...

That looks sweet! :dblthumb2: Thanks for the info guys!

I have the porter cable 7424 with the original backing plate. I have the Megs soft buff pads. The new soft buff 2.0 pads look better, but are they? I was thinking of switching.....My question is kind of long, sorry: 1 can I use my current backing plate with the new 2.0 soft buff pads or do I...

I know were talking towels here but for the sake of it, does anyone still use the absorber?
