    Detailed : 2007 Honda S2000

    Thank you, before the detail he had mentioned his headlights weren't bright anymore like they used to be and he was going to buy new bulbs. I told him it was because of the yellowing and oxidation. After they were corrected, he took it out for a night drive and I received a text from him...

    Detailed : 2007 Honda S2000

    About a year ago, my younger brother purchased a 2007 Honda S2000. The car made it's way into my garage shortly after the purchase and of course I worked my magic on it. Since the initial detail, the car has been residing in California where my brother is a travel nurse. It normally sits...

    Polishing wheels

    Those are Weds Kranze Bazeria wheels with raw aluminum lips. A metal polish or aluminum polish will work fine on it.

    Detailed : 2010 Toyota Tacoma

    That looks pretty much like the hood. Amazing job! Yeah I'm going to have to learn the sanding part. Be prepared for lots of questions! Sent from my iPhone using Autogeekonline mobile app

    Detailed : 2010 Toyota Tacoma

    You got it! I'll definitely message you so I can learn. I want to have the skill set to be able to handle anything that comes my way. I do need to invest in a good PTG soon. I just figured with how bad the hood look that the clear coat had failed and only way to recover would involve a respray.

    I've only used "safe" methods for corrections and have no experience with sanding. Do you think it would have yielded better results?

    I will have to give it a shot next time I encounter an oxidized hood such as this.

    Detailed : 2006 Toyota 4Runner

    I used Adam's Leather and Interior Cleaner, Adam's Total Interior Detailer and Adam's Leather Conditioner on all the remaining plastic and vinyl surfaces.

    First time CQUK

    Also on the panels that had streaking, I used a fine polish to remove the coating and reapplied to those panels. I believe Essence Plus would have worked too but I didn't have any on me at the time.

    First time CQUK

    My first time experience with a coating and it was CQUK was very similar. I applied it in my garage during the middle of July here in AZ, so temperatures were about 110 degrees easily. The rainbow effect or flash occurred almost immediately after application. My first section was half the...

    The Little Red Train That Can---Griot 3"

    I love the 3" thin pro pads! I used it on my porter cable for the tighter areas and headlight restorations. Thing cuts awesome. I had thought about getting rid of it when I picked up my Makita but it's now my dedicated 3" polisher.

    Detailed : 2010 Toyota Tacoma

    Thanks! Thank you! Forgot to answer the second part of your question earlier. Menzerna 3-in-1 on the side mirrors. It sure would. I bought the McKee's because of the "specific plastic abrasives" but I've used other compounds and have gotten the same results. I most likely won't refill...

    Detailed : 2010 Toyota Tacoma

    I used Adam's Undercarriage Spray on it, brought life back to it instantly. Yeah that was my approach as well so far. Just wasn't sure if there was a more efficient method out there. Under promise and over deliver is my motto! Thanks! Thank you! I need to invest in a PTG. It would...

    Detailed : 2010 Toyota Tacoma

    Had the opportunity to work on a friend's truck over the weekend. The Tacoma has about 150k miles on it and it was showing signs of age. It had been used to transport growing 6 and 3 year old boys and unfortunately kept out in the AZ sun 24/7. He came to me to make the truck look presentable...

    Detailed : 1996 Lexus LS400

    Correct! Depending how bad it is I might use a more aggressive pad and compound/polish but for most of my single stage corrections, the AIO has been sufficient for bringing back clarity on the windows. I had a vehicle that on the front windshield, the wiper blades had scratched the glass pretty...

    Detailed : 1996 Lexus LS400

    When I'm done polishing the paint, I use the same pad and polish and polish the windows. Really makes a big difference. Sent from my iPhone using Autogeekonline mobile app

    Detailed : 2006 Toyota 4Runner

    I used the menzerna 3-in-1 AIO. And for the seats I used Folex carpet cleaner. Tough stains I used APC diluted. Sent from my iPhone using Autogeekonline mobile app

    Detailed : 2006 Range Rover Sport HSE

    The Makita comes with a 5" backing plate. The pads I used are the 5.5" forced hybrid foam pads from lake country. And I used 3.5" thin pro pads. I purchased a 3" backing plate for the PC. The PC is now my dedicated 3" polisher. Me too! It's satisfying to see the turn around. Sent from my...
