    Rust Spots On Paint

    Hey everyone!! 2 weeks ago I stumbled upon a deal on a white Alfa Romeo Giulia that I couldn't walk away from. The car is a 2019 used as a demo and never titled until I came along. :D I have never owned a white car before but have owned a black car for years now. I see they are different...

    How often do u buff your personal car?

    How often do you buff your personal car? I'm sure forum members recall that last year I went over the TSX after a body shop swirled up the body nicely. I'm wondering if a WG finishing glaze and LC white pad is too harsh of a combination to be completed once each year.
