    Windshield pitting

    I used a PC DA polisher with a 4" orange pad. The BMW had a fairly soft glass as compared to Japanese models that I was used to maintaining. The glass looked like you describe when I got it. I kept trying to clean it before I realized it was actually pitted. The glass looked new when I got...

    Windshield pitting

    I had the same problem on a BMW 335i. I clay barred it to get the bonded contamination off and polished it with Diamondite glassworks restorer. I had to go over it 3 times, but the results were very good. I tried the Diamondite protection and was unimpressed. I just clayed and polished every...

    Plan for the Spring Correction

    Thanks. My wife and I are blessed to have a good business and great employees which allow me to have the car I want to drive and the garage has been a work in progress. Here is a picture of the light in the garage at night. Thanks.

    Plan for the Spring Correction

    I already have Menzerna 1500, 2500, and 4500. Fortunately the swirls while prolific are not deep. I do have some orange pads of various sizes (6", 5.5", and 4") and some Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover as well as easy access to Meguiar's if I run into a bind.

    Plan for the Spring Correction

    I have clayed the car a couple of times since it sat out. I have not iron-x'd it. That is the only reason for the ? on claying after the Iron-X. I will probably do it as it doesn't take that long on this car. The car was not exposed to what the rest of the country calls winter. No tar...

    Plan for the Spring Correction

    Next weekend here in Central Texas is supposed to be nice and I have time to finally do the full correction and coating of my car. I like to have everything in order, so I put together a list. The car is a 2013 MB SL550 which unfortunately was at the dealer for 255 days so it has light swirls...

    Flex + Rupes vs Ceramiclear Paint - How to detail a Mercedes-Benz SL 550

    Mike, Thanks. The hood extractors on the R231 2013+ do not have wires and hoses running through them. The new MB "magic vision" sends the washer fluid through the $125 laser drilled wipers rather than have fluid from the hood. My car only has 2 torx screws and a couple of plastic clips...

    Flex + Rupes vs Ceramiclear Paint - How to detail a Mercedes-Benz SL 550

    Mike, Thank you. This was extremely instructive to me as I have a 2013 SL550 that I am about to correct and put PBL coating on. My big questions have to do with maskings. Why did you mask the hood heat extractors rather than remove them? Why did you choose not to mask the side skirt vents...

    Most regretted detailing product purchase

    While I appreciate the list, it is also important to remember that a lot of these products are loved by those who use them. Every time I wash my vehicles I use Sonax FE, a Daytona Speedmaster, and FK425 in drying. I love them as do others so I wouldn't look at this list as a well that is junk...

    AG... I'm sorry but this relationship isn't working... It's all your fault!

    There are times when you brain should keep your mouth from saying what your brain is thinking. This might be one of those times. So sayeth a man who has been married for 33 years.

    Giveaway! New Black Label Products!

    Another disappointment with a PBMG product. Just kidding, looking forward to great reviews to see how well the products work. Hopefully they are as good as the PBL coating and sealant that are on the wife's SUV and after 3 months still look great. Now if you can just give me a product to keep...
