    Chips in paint, is there a cure?

    Those are pretty easy to fix although your biggest challenge will be matching the paint. Metallics are a bear! For my cars I fill in the chip with several light coats of touch up paint and then wet sand it with a 2000 grit wetsand paper until it is smooth with the rest of the area. Then I use...

    Silicone Tire Dressings Bad!! For Tires And Paint!!!!

    Funny I was asking a friend of mine about this a couple weeks ago. He is a production manager for DUNLOP which was recently bought out by GoodYear. He has 30 years experience making tires so I figured he was expert enough for me. Anyway he told me that the tire dressings that you buy at the...

    What a FLEX can correct.

    Now thats a great way to sell some polishing work. I am curious have you ever used a UDM? I got the same results with my UDM on a black 07 Vette using Menzerna PowerGloss on an orange pad followed with 106ff on a white LC CCS pad. Does the FLex allow you to work faster like a rotary or is just...

    Heavy Scratch repair and exterior detail Very long post not 56k friendly

    I have to be honest I am not 100% sure what is meant by "orange Peel"? I think it is the rough finish under the clear coat right? If so then I have not noticed much if any orange peel on the Lexus, although I had a bimmer too and never noticed it on my 328i either? I will say though I am not...

    Ok well I was so happy with the results of my hood I figured that I would try and tackle the driver door that was side swiped. Now I'm not generally this crazy guys but I figured I had to get both the hood and door repainted anyway so I didn't really care if I messed it up. Turns out that It...

    How far can I go??

    :iagree: I am wondering the exact same thing myself? I hope someone here can give us the answer to your question. I have wondered why the UDM cannot have the same cutting ability as a rotary if you simply use a more aggressive cutting Pad and or Compounding combination. I mean with the right...

    Testing XMT 360

    So even after the XMT intermediate you still think it needs rotary correction? What pad did you use? WHat if you tried the XMT compounding polish, do you think that would correct the paint enough?? Just curious as I am looking into the XMT line myself
