    A question about dressing trim.

    Where do you think I can get those Art? They're like a house paint product right?

    A question about dressing trim.

    Thought about taping, but that seemed completely unorthodox to me. Never heard it mentioned on these forums, ever. Interesting. Also seems like a lot of work... it's easier to just wipe it up as best as possible and then ONR quick I think.

    A question about dressing trim.

    Yesterday I detailed my brother-in-laws 08 Silverado. It's black and it was FILTHY. He works in construction so it's understandable. :) He had quite a bit of black plastic trim on his bumper, handles, the part underneath the front bumper (not sure what it's called) and what used to be a...

    Did A Test Spot - Less Than Thrilled With The Results

    Dave, I got married Aug 2nd and then went on a honeymoon, etc. So, basically, I've been busy lately which is why I haven't posted. Thanks for your reply. The reason I tend to push out my working area as I'm actually working an area is because when you are making your second pass you want to...

    Do you wash all of your towels together?

    I wash mine all together with regular Tide Free and Clear. I do enough "car wash laundry" as it is and this is just a hobby for me. I've never had a problem. If I set the machine to heavy duty and dbl rinse it seems to really get towels cleaner if they required it from their latest use...

    Opti-coat : bird poo fail?!?

    Glad you updated us. Did you try claying it after the first incident? Just curious.

    Random questions from a Semi-Noob

    I just graduated myself to Semi-Noob, lol! So, I'm going to ask a few, maybe a lot-- of questions that I have from time to time. They're unrelated but every so often I think of them and instead of creating a thread each time I have one, I'm going to try to list as many as I can think of over...

    Opti-lens yellowing after 90 days

    I don't have anything of real substance to add, but I've wondered myself if Eraser leaves something behind. Granted, I have never used IPA, but from what I've heard from others, Eraser seems way to smooth to me to not leave something behind. I've questioned the duration of Opti Seal and OCW...

    How many microns of paint removed?

    You need to edit your first post as it doesn't make sense.

    Dave- Awesome post, thanks for your insight. I'm going to start using a dry terry cloth towel to clean my pads and see how that goes. Also- I think I understand what you were getting at with 4500 and it's true gloss potential. You realllly have to break it down to the point where the paint...

    Waxing/Sealent intervals and reapplication?

    You use a paint cleaner with a DA before you clay?

    Waxing/Sealent intervals and reapplication?

    Why do you want to strip it? Just curious?

    I have a question for you Dave. I clean my pad (foam) after every section or two (not panel, section, just to be clear). I do this with a damp terry cloth towel. I turn my Flex on and then jam a few fingers on the pad while it spins. Repeat with a clean section of a towel if needed. Do...

    Kappy- It is great to hear that you two got together, so quickly I might add. Wow, I'm jealous!! The more you describe your paint, the more I wonder. As I told you, I have a black 2004 Nissan 350z and the first time I used my Flex and 105 it was realllly difficult for me. What year is your...

    What kind of car are you working on? And what color?

    Dropped clay.

    Interesting, I definitely want to try it sometime. It sounds like it would be hard to not get it on stuff that it's not supposed to get on? So you don't just spray your whole car down with this stuff then? Will it hurt glass or trim?

    Dropped clay.

    How long had it been since you clayed before you used Iron-x? Can you spray that stuff on the whole car or what?
