    Cleaning brass

    Hi everyone - Not an auto paint question, but still clean/polish/protect related. I have these awesome, highly-polished coach lights that have been outside for over a decade that seem to have all-of-a-sudden turned black in areas. Any idea on what this is and how to return the finish to a...

    Do I have burnishing products?

    Hey Geeks - I want to jewel my paint. It's been swirl/scratch corrected last year and maintained by me very well. I want to raise the level of gloss on the BMW's black sapphire metallic paint and really get the flakes popping. Hybrid 7 showed me some signs of how POP looks, as it really...

    Help - did I fail on this?

    I thought I'd hit my BMW b-pillar while I was in the area with a white pad and XMT #1. Looked great, however, tonight I parked under a bright flourescent light in a parking lot and noticed the taped area was darker, deeper black, and the area I hit was somewhat faded. Note that when I lifted the...
