    Black trim refresh

    I am far from being an expert, but the Griots trim restore works magic on my wifes Highlander black external trim. Lasts about 5 - 6 months too in the North Carolina sun. Stuff is great and goes a long way. Sid

    Interior trim plastic help

    Thank you sir. Magic etaser huh. Never thought that would touch scuffs or slight scratches. I saw the heat thing on youtube, but was afraid to try and bring the flat colored trim to a gloss. Thank you sir Sid

    Slight mars on my new dark roof

    Thank you for your help. I just didn't want to make a slight issue bigger by using the orange pads or even more having to do the whole roof by creating an issue with the polisher. Its 50 deg F and overcast today in North Carolina. You think I'm okay to use the 3D and work outside today? Have...

    Slight mars on my new dark roof

    Evening guys, I just returned from my sons MX race where his ez-up from not being secured to the ground blew across the top of my new car.

    Wax/UV protection for black paint

    Morning all, I just purchased a 2 tone Corolla Hatchback with the black roof. I just traded in a black Mazda 3 that was a huge pain to keep looking good. Any suggestions for the black roof for winter grime and summer sun? Two different products for the two seasons maybe? Thanks Sid

    Alrighty Mr. Paul, I watched just about all of Mikes pad history and use video. Following your scheme of wash, clay, polish, and then LSP and just fresh off Mikes video, to get my oxidize out, do I need just polishing pads or well, I forgot what the three pad types were from his video. I do...

    Thanks again Mike. I am in the process of looking for a DA polisher right now. I like this link for polishers for Newbies. Unfortunately, I'm still at work during that time. Is there a way to watch it once I get home, I mean is it recorded for playback perhaps? Thanks again. Sid

    Ahhhh, there it is. Thank you Paul. I just real quick went outside and washed just the roof and hood with Meguiars Gold class wash and then wiped dry. If you zoom in, you can see the fadedness I was talking about. The paint is decent and doesn't feel all that rough, just slightly faded in...
