Okay this is definitely tha same feature as shown in http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/7008752-post13.html My wife bought the car new in Sept 07 and it has 70k miles on it. Any chance Honda would repaint? Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using Tapatalk 2

I have an '07 civic that has a paint defect on the hood only. The rest of the paint looks good but the hood has these small star shaped cracks. I didn't realize how bad it was until I used UC with lake country orange pad followed by 205 on a white pad. These little star shaped markings can...

My first attempt at using forever black today turned into a real PITA. I used the cleansing solution on my plastics prior to using and decided to start eight the rear bumper cover on my truck. Before applying it was dull gray but at least uniform. The picture below is after 4 coats! There...

I'm definitely not a fan of any type of skin or screen shields on my phones. I also prefer my phone naked. Keeps them sleek and pocketable. I do have a ballistic shock case for when I'm taking my phone out in the bush but it comes off when get back to civilization. Sent from my EVO 4G LTE...

Nice job. I'm thinking about doing the same thing. Although my grill is worse off than your was. Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using Tapatalk 2

I just threw caution to the wind and applied WGDG3 to my HTC and the screen feels great. Reminds me of a new phone. No fingerprints at all and buttery smooth. I'm curious how long it will last. Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using Tapatalk 2

We all have cell phones and iPhones and after a while the screens get smudged with finger prints and are hard to keep clean. Someone told me that rain-x works well when applied to cell phones with Gorilla glass and helps keep finger prints and smudges off the phone. That got me wondering if...

When I bought my house I shut the water off at the main outside my house and put an HD ball valve before the pressure regulator and ran copper to a new outside hose bib. The result is the house water pressure is 60 lbs but the hose bib is 3/4" copper putting out 115 lbs of water pressure. The...

The Advance auto parts near me sells Collinite 845 for $16 a bottle. Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using Tapatalk 2

Okay thanks for the info. I've ordered Megs UC, Megs m205, and Colli 853. I think between those 3 I should be able to fix most paint issues and get a pretty good finish. Just wondering if swirl remover was a necessity and brings anything to the table that the others couldn't. Sent from my...

As a newbie I'm not really sure where swirl removers are supposed to fit in. Are they considered intermediate products between compounds and polishes? I would think most paint corrections could be taken care of with products like UC/m105 and m205. When would you choose swirl remover instead...

Extremely insightful. I'm considering ordering some. Lol Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using Tapatalk 2

Let me know how it turns out. The cleaner I purchased for stainless steel did not work at all but I think it was technically just a cleaner and not a polish. Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using Tapatalk 2

I'm talking bbq grill, not car grill. Lol I have a 4 burner bbq grill about 5 years old that has a stainless steel lid and doors along with black cabinet and side shelves. I'd Luke to clean it up and thought about using a da polished to make it shine. The black painted parts are kind of...

I've seen several decent looking pads ZFE brand on eBay shipped from China for $2-$3 a pop. I thought about buying some to try out on some older project cars. http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=181070049745 Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using Tapatalk 2

I saw 26 today at AutoZone and wondered how it compared to UW. I also saw Colli 845 today and I've heard its excellent. I might end up trying it instead of the 26. I was hoping to find m205 at a local retailer but no luck. I did see Ultimate polish but now sure how comparable it is to 205...

Check out Keen Utility footwear. I wear the Detroit low steel toe and they are super comfortable. They are low cut so they aren't heavy like boots and the steel toe isn't even noticeable. Another nice feature is that they come in wide sizes and also have electrostatic discharge protection...

I actually have a new plan. I was discussing this with a co-worker of mine and he offered to lend me his 6 speed HF DA polisher in order to get my feet wet. He said he has 3 Lake Country pads (orange, white, and grey) and also has Megs 105 and 205. So I think I'm going to give this a shot...

I don't have a problem letting the paint cure longer. It'll take me a few days to get the polisher shipped anyway. I think I'll go with the kit I mentioned about but also add the Meguire's Ultimate Compound to my order. The above mentioned kit says it comes with 3 different pads, one of which...

I appreciate the links. I will go through the info tonight when I get home. I'm not really sure if I need to wet sand the clear or if polishing with a DA will be able to get it decent. I want to buy a DA polisher for all of my cars and the Porter Cable seems to be the best bang for the buck...
