I would give polishing a try. You can do it by hand, it will just take awhile. You could give Meguiars Ultimate Compound a try and see what happens. It would be a safer way than chemicals.

I did my black car last year with 2 coats UK3 and topped with Gliss. I honestly don't remember a white haze like I noticed on BMW platinum gray metallic when I did that one. To be honest after the first time I had my system down and wasn't concerned about white haze. I applied my section, set...

I have noticed that on my black car when I used it. It only happened in spring and fall when parked outside which I believe was from the temperature change overnight into daylight. I just let it happen and didn't bother worrying after the first time. It totally disappeared after the first wash...

CarPro Reset for bucket wash, ECH20 for rinseless and ECH20/Reload (Merlin mix detailer). The GUZ convinced me with his comments and reviews to order some Elixir to try out. Well actually I ordered 2 liters so I guess I will be using Elixir as a drying aid for awhile. I started using Meguiars...

Auto Geek- Your Car Wax SuperStore, Car Wax, Auto Detailing Supplies , Car Accessories, Car Buffers Store, We Are Car Care I prefer CarPro Eraser because it works, smells yummy and doesn't really take that much. It glides better than IPA and is absolutely safe to use VS IPA. After seeing some...

You did great and you know what you are doing. Nice Bimmer I had a couple high spots with Gloss Coat when I first did coatings and decided against the wait. That wipe off time is a big question mark. What I do is apply, fold my microsuede nice and level, reach for low pile, fold nice then go...

Happy Birthday Paul Stay safe,stay busy, stay young.

359s? If you never really noticed it before I would imagine you got a oopsie from quality control. Most of those silver wheels have a black base coat and it almost looks like they spray the front and hope it fills the barrels. Never really does unless we step up to more money. Check this post...

What brand wheels are they? Did you ever use a cleaner wax on the drums? Almost looks like they have been hit with wet sanding or a polish to start knocking it down, if they are matte. At this stage I would polish and consider it an easier way to maintain them. Of course with a wheel coating...

In my little opinion.the order of longevity for products would be in order of 1 being least durable. 1) Spray on magic si02/ceramic/special sauce or whatever label sealant/coating type stuff 2) Sealant 3) coating lites(less) or coating (more). Any car wash with brushes is like using a...

Tuf Shine then Black Pearl satin over old TW. My dwindling supply of TW has me scrambling. I have Optimum tire coating and some stuff called Renew Protect which isn't bad. With Black Pearl out of the economical picture, what the hell to do for black tinted tire coating? Otherwise not bad for...

Re: Installed some Conti DWS06's on the RedSport What do you use in the washing machine? I have been using Tide washing machine cleaner during the tub clean function. Hopefully it does something besides help me spend money.

Duplicolor paint prep is pretty harsh stuff. Don't go near plastic. I would go for Klean-Strip Prep-All.

Curb rash, with grooves in a circular pattern. Bob is spot on.

My idea is Reload, no matter Gliss or not. Better to play it safe ya know. Get er dun

I use the 'Merlins' elixir mix of Reload and Ech20 to maintain/drying aid of the UK/Gliss car and UK wheels on my 535. Rarely ever do I use straight Reload on a dry car. If you are looking for a 1 trick pony to maintain the UK or UK/Gliss ( whichever you choose) get Ech20 for washless or...

I got bored and checked out Ebay for TP prices. Almost bought one persons listing of 4 squares for 99 cents. I am pretty sure it was listed as new.

Just use Reload on the wheels with UK, since they are just wheels, no need for Gliss. But do a coat of Gliss V2 over the 2 coats of UK on the car. If you don't you will wish you did not much later. I redid my daughters 2008 328XI with UK and Gliss just because I didn't do a Gliss topcoat and...

Since I have been reading your posts Mike, this is 1 of your keys that stick with me. Prevention and cure all wrapped into one.

Well geesh, that is a darn good question. When I do a rinseless, I hit auto pilot and just start pumping it when the pressure dwindles. I generally will use the whole gallon or very close to it. Overkill maybe, but better to be safe than sorry. I also hit the wheels and wheel wells. One of...
