Hi all, Hit a deer with my '83 Continental a few months back, and I've finally tracked down a header panel. I ordered all my paint stuff from paintscratch.com, and the clearcoat is a 1K clear. I've got multiple coats on, but there's a lot of orange peel (all aerosol here). I want to sand it...

Hi all, About a month ago, I bought a 1979 Lincoln Continental as a project. As you can see, the paint was the least of this car's problems, however, most of which have been worked out. Some minor body work and a top are all that's needed now to make it a presentable "driver". My question...

Hi all, Hopefully in the next couple weeks, I'll be sending my 1994 Town Car into the body shop for a full strip down and repaint. The paint job is going to run nearly double what the car is worth, but it was my first car, and it has a lot of sentimental value to me, so I am opting to repaint...

Hi all, I bought a set of seats out of a '93 Town Car Cartier today at the junkyard for a project I'm working on, and while the rear and passenger seats look like they came out of a 3 year old car, the drivers seat needs some help. Aside from the chunk of leather missing (easy patch fix, no...

Hi all, Someone here recommended I try the 1Z Deep Plastic Cleaner on my coated leather seats to deep clean them, so I figured, why not, and ordered a bottle with my last order. Their website specifically states "Use on the dashboard, steering wheel, shift knob, arm rests, finished leather...

Hi all, I've been adding stuff to my wish list for me to easily remember it come next time I make an order. It hasn't worked since either last night, or this morning, can't remember. I'll click "add to wishlist" or "View Wishlist", and the page just keeps "loading" for a minute or two, and...

Hi all, Pretty soon I'm going to take the leather seat cover off my car to work on the foam underneath that's lost a bit of it's support. I was wondering, since coated leathers don't "take" conditioners as well as uncoated leather, would there be any benefit to conditioning the backside of the...

Hi all, Ever since I bought my first car, I've been a LEXOL man. It's cheap, it works well, and can be found at any autoparts/supermarket store, so if you run out, you can get a new bottle quickly. I wanted to try some new products out "just for fun" that were offered here. Connolly's Hide...

Hi all, Both of my vehicles have a fair amount of chrome on them, the Lincoln has chrome wheels, and trim, and the GMC has chrome bumpers & grille. The chrome on the Lincoln looks showroom new, and the chrome on the GMC looks excellent for 20, with only very, very minor pitting on the bumpers...

Hi all, Now that I am nearly done compounding/polishing the car, it will soon be time for wax. For years I've used Meguiars waxes, and been perfectly happy with them. (Gold Class, then switched to NXT 2.0 ~2010) Usually I apply Liquid Glass, then that on top of it. My new car is called "Ivory...

Hi all, I'm building an order for this coming week, and I can't find the Liquid Glass Auto Polish in the store anymore. Did they go out of business? Their website is down too. I swear you folks had some just a month or two ago. None of the local auto parts stores carry it now either. I can...

Hi all, I apologize if this has been posted before (it no doubt has, but I'm likely not using the right search keywords) but I am wondering what all you folks use to protect the little trim parts that cannot be waxed easily? For example, My car has script emblems on it that say "Lincoln"...

Hi all, I recently picked up a real nice garaged Lincoln Town Car that looks beautiful, aside from the fact it appears to have been treated from time to time with a brush-style car wash. The paint still shines really well, and looks new, but when the sun hits it just right (or especially...

Hi all, According to the service records I have, the GMC Sierra I own was in an accident about 10 years ago. The hood, fender, and grille were replaced, and repainted. First off, the shop painted them the wrong color. It was close, but it was painted more a purplish-red, vs. maroon. It's...

This is something I have always wondered, but have never seems to find an answer for. When you buy a wax, lets say Meguiars Gold glass for example. They have a liquid, and a paste (they might have a spray, I dunno) Is there any benefit of buying one over the other? I was told years ago by an...

Hi all, I need to upgrade all of my microfiber towels, as the ones I have don't seem to pick up water like they should anymore (and are fairly soiled.) Which works the best for drying off a car? I don't want a massive 24x36 towel, as they are just a pain to work with, from my experiences...

Hi all, My name is William, and I'm a bit "new" to this level of detailing. I've always washed, waxed, detailed, and dressed my cars so they look as good as possible, but paint correction, and all these brands (much better than store bought stuff, I'm sure) I've never heard of/done before...
