Anyone have any ideas on this? Feed back please

Since I plan on restoring this 1 step paint on my old 98' Toyota pickup, I need to first touch up all the chips in the paint. But before I started, I wanted to post and ask for tips on what I should do with these particular chips. Rocks have impacted the front end and made these chips, but the...

I just went out to Home Depot for this screw and thought I would post more info so it would make it easy for those that might have trouble finding it. Here is a direct link to their website as well as pictures of the package for the screw. I was able to match the washer for the cap screw with...

Did someone want a Carstache? Carstache® Car Mustaches

I just bought a gallon of AllClean+ and am wondering if I got this right. On the bottle it says for interior use, dilute 20 parts water with one part AllClean. So.....I have a 25 fl oz bottle, that means only 1.25 fl oz All Clean and 24 fl oz water? Seems like a very small amount of product, or...

Mothers detailing clay was the first and only clay I have ever used. The first time I used it, I was stunned that my paint was actually smooth to the touch. My favorite racing movie is Fast and the Furious (the first one).

Thank you guys so much! I really appreciate all the suggestions.:xyxthumbs: Earl

Hi! I've been watching a few videos every day in preparation to work on my pickup in a week or so for a full detail/paint restoration. (I'll be posting before/during/after pics when I complete it) For years I have been using armor all to clean and protect the dash, doors, trim, ect. In one of...

Also, I am seeing nothing but automotive rust primer spray paint. Do I have to spray it on, or can I spray a small amount in a plastic cup and brush it on. I don't know if this is an acceptable way to doing it since its primer. It would be great if I didn't have to worry about overspray...

Thank you for the tips. Think I'm going to have to buy the three sanding blocks from Meguiars. (1000, 1500, 2000 grit) Unless you suggest otherwise of course...

I helped my friend wash his car and he had Duragloss #901 which I really liked. Would like to try Duragloss #101

I would love to do a review of Master Blaster or the Sidekick!

Hi! My truck was hit by a rock just 3 weeks after having been painted using a one step. (Happened about 7 years ago) The rock hit away all the paint and primer below it. (The chip is 1/2 inch wide) Since I didn't have the money to get it repaired, and I didn't want it to rust, I simply put down...

I've had my Absorber for 15 years and I still store it in the original hard case it came in. Its never marred the paint or anything. Funny thing is that my friend bought one a few years back, and though his was new, I felt mine actually worked better. :xyxthumbs:

Thanks for the link!

Hi everyone! This morning my brother and I were leaving at the same time for work and he broke out his California Car Duster and proceeded to wipe down his grey Camry. I never bought one because I felt that over time, how can small grains of sand/dirt/hard fibers the duster was wiping off not...

No one knows about Opti-Coat?:awman:

Hi! I am about 90% sure that I will be applying Opti-Coat 2.0 to my one-step paint. I have been to Opti-Coat's website and read up what I can, as well as here in the forum and have yet to find where something is stated that its recommended to put down said number of coats. Also, if re-coating...

Thanks everyone, and thank you Mike! I have been watching a lot of your videos and will probably be ordering a copy of your book when I put in my order during detail fest, assuming that there will be a nice discount during that time. The videos are pretty much what made me decide to take the...
