    Your expert help needed please - Obsidian black pearl Subaru paint

    Thanks for reply Mike. I only ask since I also have a Subaru in the fleet and bought CCS for it. I read here and in other threads about people having success on Subie paint with flat or Hydrotech pads over CCS which has me thinking about picking some up and doing a comparison. wouldn't hurt to...

Used the Chinchilla MF AG has been selling last year on BOGO to dry it. Here are some pics, no...

    Show car finish or when is enough enough?

    Blackfire wasn't good or Blacklight? Blackfire WD polish and sealant BEFORE Blacklight is kinda a mistake WD is an AIO sealant, Blacklight is more of a glaze although they don't market it that way except on CG UK website, it should go on BEFORE a sealant. I used Blacklight, shake it and it...

    Solution Finish kit + UTTG+ or C4 ?

    Wow great advice. The trim is bad in some spots, for example around the tire wheel wells is a greyish (now light grey) trim. The cowling is a mess. On the roof is a large plastic piece with the Escape logo in between the roof rack. Of course the bumpers etc are a mess. The "greyist" piece is a...

    Help me get a plan to detail my moms car.

    Above is good advice. In addition, take it to coin op for vacuum interior if you can since you don't have one. Walmart sells Black Magic wet tire gel dressing kit for $7 , works great , apply very very thin to provided applicator pad, spread over whole tire, let it sit for 30 minutes without...

    Solution Finish kit + UTTG+ or C4 ?

    In addition, perhaps I should use Cquartz DLUX instead of UTTG* or C4 after Solutions Finish ? Basically looking for best method (semi perm or longer) to restore faded trim and keep it restored.

    Paintless dent repair...minor rant

    Another "pro" doing a bang up job I see. Have GF Take pictures done to the shop let them pay for a proper repair by someone. Don't mention you are BF. Provide your estimate for repair to shop and have them pay you to fix it correctly. They probably caused damage, panicked, grabbed a buffer and...

    What on Earth is this??? Please help

    I wouldn't touch it. I'd take the photographs to the insurance company to document the damage this "pro" body shop did to you vehicle. Demand resolution including repaint of damaged area. If you have a biz give estimate for repair to GF to give to insurance company. This is a seperate claim...
