When I bought the car, I thought, "those wheels look like they have a clear coat on them" So I figured I would treat them like any other clear coat I work on. So I clayed them . . . It was amazing how much junk came off of those wheels. Then I followed with XMT 360 on all of them. I like the...

Hey guys. Anyone know is liquid glass is a true LSP? Label says its a polish and I wonder if it's a polish in the strictest sense. Does it cleanse the paint? Remove glaze oils? Etc. I know there are better products out there, but I love this stuff!

Hey guys. I bought a trunk lid off of a '94 Pontiac Bonneville at a junk yard to practice on. I washed and clayed it for starters. Next I started wet sanding to learn the technique. As soon as I started, I noticed the "clear coat sludge" that should be milky white, was actually blue, the color...
