    Misuse of acidic wheel cleaner

    I can't tell, last owner said it was something for wire type wheels. Dilution ? He's the kind of guy who goes into an automatic contact car wash. Probably didn't dilute the product...

    Misuse of acidic wheel cleaner

    I was able to get some wheels for a bargain after the previous owner tried to wash them with the wrong wheel cleaner. I see things like this happening way to much. You never want to use an acid wheel cleaner for clear coated wheels. People think any kind of wheel cleaner will work on any type of...

    Wheel Cleaner/Polish/Wax

    As for the wheel cleaner the hardest part is to know if your wheels are clear coated. You don't want to use something too aggressive on a cc wheel. Sonax is safe on pretty much all type of wheels. Ive used autoglym custom wheel cleaner with great results also. I know it's a PITA but take the...

    auto chem review

    I agree his technique is not the best for us detailers but just the product itself is impressive for 18 bucks (CAN). I was asking because I haven't yet find a product that can be wiped off in this kind of cold. For me winter is all about automatic car washes (touchless of course) once a week...

    DA ticks?

    Indeed, that is super soft paint. As soon as I have the chance to try sf4500 I'll let you know how it goes. I would be very surprise to try M105 for my finishing step...even my white pad and ultimate polish haze the paint. What kind of glaze has some light polishing in it? Also, is there a real...

    Windshield repair gone wrong

    Actually I used my drill for the sanding and then I couldn't get the hazing out with it and decided to re-do everything with my rotary...I thought it would be a more precise approach. Im not sure if I want to go ahead and try the 3M products...At first I wanted to try the eastwood kit thinking...

    DA ticks?

    Pads are brand new, and I clean them ''on the fly'' after every panel. Dimples are clean. Speed 5 on the PC. Moderate pressure, light pressure for the last pass. It's raining today so I won't be able to try sf4500.

    DA ticks?

    I know the blue and red foam have no cut but after several pad/polish combination, anything stronger than my blue pad, would haze/micro-mare the paint...I just find that UP with a red pad would get me the best finish...for now. Ill probably try sf4500 tomorrow.

    Windshield repair gone wrong

    I always try least aggressive first and then move on. In my case I had to use the corse disk. Then, I followed up with the medium and the fine. All three disks were used.

    Windshield repair gone wrong

    Ok so here it is I had some pretty big scratches on my windshield due to my passenger wiper. I decided to look around for a glass polishing kit. I ended up using the Eastwood kit (Pro Glass Polishing Kit for Deep Scratches The problem is, I can't find a way to take out the swirls induced by...

    DA ticks?

    Hi guys, I finally managed to get rid of my holograms problem using a LC blue CCS pad but I think im getting some DA ticks. It's hard to see in the picture but it doesn't look like a show room finish to me. Im using a red LC ccs pad with some ultimate polish. I do have some menzerna SF4500...

    Headlight restoration. What would you do?

    I would try a small wool pad with something aggressive like the 3000 before sanding to see if it helps. Once you start sanding the whole process needs to be redone a few months later...no matter what UV protection you put afterwards...I would concentrate more on the edges but I would definitely...
