Great advice. Thank you. I know I will hate maintaining these wheels, but I absolutely love the look of them. I might get that CarPro Wheel Coating since the wheels are brand new now and do that process once a year. Then I can maintain through the year with a wet coat - I like the idea of the...

I just got my trucks wheels back after getting them powder coated gloss black and the new tires installed. They are going to go on the truck in the next couple of weeks. What is the best way to protect the finish on these wheels? I am pretty good at detailing my vehicle, but an amateur and...

Thank you for the help. The hand sanitizer and MF cloth worked great.

I am away on business and I found some tree sap on my truck. I don't have my detailing products or a garden hose. What can I buy at a local store to clean off the sap before it damages the paint? There is a Canadian tire not far from where I am staying. Any advice is appreciated.

The area I live in has road maintenance workers use a large amount of loose tar to fill pots holes, which results in tons of tar getting on our cars. Our '16 Outback, which is silver, gets decimated with this stuff. I have been using a tar and bug remover, but it is still very difficult to...

Hi Mike, thanks very much for the advice, it was very helpful. I had a bit of time tonight to work in the Ultimate Compound by hand vigorously and it seems to be working, certainly better than when I was using my machine. The spots are slowly becoming less noticeable. I noticed that I am...

Thanks for the great information Mike. I posted this thread too as I though this was the forum area to post if I wanted a response from you. I apologize for the confusion.

First of all, thank you for all the great information! So after reading all this it sounds like I should compound before I use #7. I am not sure if a spot remover is worth trying if these are Type III spots but I will probably purchase some to have on hand anyway since I have harder water at...

I have an old Ford Torino which has a single stage repaint that was done in the mid 90's. The car is bright red, non metallic. It is not a high quality paint job, but it looks okay because the car has mostly been garaged since it has been painted. That said I am trying to improve the paint...

I worked at it more today and I think I got some success. Originally I only tried to clay a small area and it didn't seem to do much so I didn't do the problem areas (hood, roof, trunk) as I had recently clayed the car. I did the car today and it seemed to help reduce the spots (or at least...

Thanks for the response, it was helpful. If I wanted to step up the aggressiveness, what compound should I use? I know I can get the professional grade Meguiar's at a local body shop supply store. I was thinking of trying Mirror Glaze M01 Medium Cut compound? Would this not be more...

I have an vintage car with a single stage paint job. It was last repainted probably about 20 years ago with a single stage paint. I recently washed the car and afterwards I had a ton of hard water spots on the paint from where the sun dried the car before I could chamois it dry. Now the car...
