The new Challenger's are beautiful. Good idea.

These are attempts at before pictures of the 07' Dodge Ram 1500. The truck was recently spray washed, perhaps with a quality hand wash the pictures would show the true condition of the paint. In many areas spider webbing can be found. Believe it or not these pictures were taken in the worst...

Now of the three compounds I listed, that is the most aggressive. Correct? I'm afraid of taking too much paint off, how can I judge this?

Would like to restore the paint on a John Deere riding lawn mower. The paint is heavily swirled and quite dull. I would like to correct the swirls and restore a glossy finish, if possible. Currently I have M105,M205, Wolfgang T.Swirl Rem. Orange, white and red pads. What would be an ideal...

:buffing: I received my order today. I had to place a separate order for the Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover, so I'll have to wait for that to arrive before I tackle my vehicles. I have a black craftsman tool box that has terrible scratches of various levels, so I figure this would be great for...

I meant to say the M105. Should I have something in between?

The salesmen who helped me with my order was very knowledgeable and did a good job. However after studying your compound chart I question jumping into using the Meguiars Mirror Glaze #205 Ultra Finishing Polish. Based on the chart it is the most aggressive product Meguiars offers. Perhaps I...

Polishing Principles DVD by Phillips, is basically a 1 on 1 instruction. I was hesitant to try buffing/polishing myself and thought it might be better left to a professional. The DVD does an excellent job of walking through the essentials, and leaving you feel confident in trying it yourself...

Hey Mike, Here's what I ended up ordering today with the help of Matt. Hope these are products you also would recommend. Thanks again for the help. MG-PC-1500XP - Meguiars Porter Cable XP Ultra Polish K 1 PAD-TOOL - Foam Pad Conditioning Brush 1 DP-730 - DP...

Not sure if you're still in the market. If you have tinted windows I've heard this led license plate can significantly improve reverse visibility. V-LEDS HIGH POWER 18W LED BACK-UP LIGHT LICENSE PLATE FRAME

What do you prefer using to apply the APC & AW? And how about for removal? Can you go right over rubber/plastic commonly found around the jams?

I can appreciate what your going through. I'm sure someone will post in with their expertise. In a previous vehicle I had a speedo cluster that I could not correct to my satisfaction. Luckily on this particular vehicle I was able to purchase just the clear cover and solve the issue reasonably...

Considering WD40 has a kerosine base, are you concerned with what it may do?

Are you using only the Aqua wax on the jams, or do you combine it with others? (Adding this to my upcomming order, thanks for the tip about the clear drying)

Hey Mike, Thank you for responding as quickly as you did. I would be interested in attending your class, however unfortunately I'm further than a days drive. Thank you for writing that article, that answered many of my questions. I believe the Porter Cable 7424XP will work best for me. My...

Just watched the Polishing Principles DVD. Overall it will be helpful for my first time buffing/polishing. I have some questions that the DVD did not seem to answer. 1. Which polisher of the two featured is preferred? 2. Mike talks about using different pads and products depending on what...

Ok, well perhaps I will buy a polisher. You make it sound easy enough.. That would be cool to come down in March, but not sure that'll happen. I'll keep it in mind, thanks for the invite. Meanwhile where can a dvd be obtained? Started a thread just like you suggested. Thanks for the tip. Is...

Pro Detailer Wanted in Rochester, New York

Thank you for the support. Up to this point I have felt like I am the fool when it comes to having problems with the swirls. Even the repaired areas that were freshly painted were covered in swirls. They claimed they even wet sanded/polished. Terrible! Nice to know there are others who...
