I had a dent removed using this this technique today. The result was impressive but not perfect. The dent is gone and the paint is unharmed. But, when the light is right, you can see a screen pattern where the dent was. I can't feel it but I can see it in some light. My question is can I...

I had pretty much come to the same conclusion. It is just frustrating to see this on a car with only 650 miles. Thanks for the response.

My wife brought her brand new Outback home with some supermarket parking lot rash. In a right rear plastic panel was a streak of white paint and some scratches and paint chips. I applied some cleaner and got the streak of white paint off. I then applied some touch up paint and made things...

As a long time businessman I have fired many customers. People who hurt your business or your profits need to go elsewhere.

I didn't know Alfa was coming back to the U.S. I once owned a 1964 Duetto. Your new car gets my heart pumping. Congratulations.

OK, now that I have the buffer and pads resolved. I ordered some chemicals to use with the buffer. I bought a cutting compound, a mild polish, a clay set, a sealant, a carnauba wax and some microfiber towels. I'm hoping that should handle the exterior work except for plastic trim. I have two...

I found one brand new on Amazon for $156. It included a $25 factory discount. Yes it does sound gravely but I wouldn't choose based on sound.

Thanks to both Mikes. Ok, I'll order up the 6.5 set. I appreciate the advice from you professionals.

Thanks. My understanding is that I should use slower speeds and keep it moving. I have an old but low mileage Mercury I can use for practice.

- Yes, that's right. I bought a set of 8 1/2" pads made by Lake Country both foam and wool. I got polishing and finishing models. I also ordered a 4" set on this site with backing plate. They haven't arrived yet so I'm not sure of the manufacturer. Is there something else I should add?

Thanks. I don't think the care is worth that much.

Yes Chrismas is early at our house. The buffer is a DeWalt rotary polisher. I ordered and got in some pads and I'm busy reading about how to use it. Obviously I have a lot to learn. Hope my involvement with the forum will be a good learning experience.

I have a low mileage but old Mercury Marquis that I am trying to spruce up. The aluminum wheels have a silvery, crusty corrosion on them that I am unable to remove. I think it is going to require abrasives. I'm not competent to handle it. How much should I expect to pay a professional to...
