    Collonite 845 Inside Headlight?

    Hey guys, Not sure if this should go in here or not but oh well. Mods can move if need be. I restored my headlights and had to sand and buff inside the headlights. I'm wondering if I can use collonite 845 inside the headlight. I'm using it to seal the outside but will it discolor over time if I...

    Wash Bucket Options

    Just curious what everybody is using for wash buckets. I never thought it mattered much as long as they were good clean buckets but I've been using pepboy's 5gal buckets but I notice that my grit guards don't sit on the bottom of the bucket as they should. They sit almost halfway up the bucket...

    Diluting APC+ For Wipedown?

    Anybody using APC or APC+ in their wash bucket or foam cannon for wipedown after compound/Polish? I have some dr.color chip to do and need something to wipedown after I compound/polish. I think I found that people used a 4:1 dilution for LSP stripping, so would that be the same for a wipedown?

    Debating on Tornador Purchase

    I've been thinking of buying a Tornador and with this weekends sale I'm trying to figure it out. I'm purchasing UISG and UIGP but thought having the Tornador might be helpful. But I think the UISG can't be used in the gun since it's a thicker gel right? So should I get the UISG and UIGP or get...

    Cooling Paint Before Wash?

    I get one day off from work and for the past few weeks it has been raining all day. Usually my only option is to wash the car after work if it's nice. But the problem is that paint is usually hot from sitting out in the sun all day. I'm wondering if you guys have an tricks to cooling the paint...

    MTM Hydro Foam Lance Adjusting

    Hey guys. I have a question for anybody who has a MTM Hydro Foam Lance. Just used mined for the first time yesterday but couldn't get a good solid spray pattern. Unlike videos I've seen where the spray pattern looks like it does with the regular pressure washer tip, mine was more directed in the...

    Foam Lance Soap Help

    Just bought a pressure washer and foam lance attachment and was hoping to use some soap this week that I don't need to order. Local autobody supply sells Hyper Wash but I'm nervous about the strength as a weekly wash. I normally use Gold Class but read it doesn't foam well. Is hyper wash worth...

    Product Plan for New DA Polisher: Need Input!

    I'm a fan of sticking with the same product brand as much as possible. Believe it will have better results as the products are meant to work together right? Anyways, I'm buying myself my first DA Polisher (Meguiars G110v2) and wanted some input on my plan. My paint is in pretty good shape. I...

    DA Orbital Worth It?

    I've been thinking lately that it might be worth buying a DA Orbital. Looking at just a basic Meguiar's DA Orbital online. I've always done everything by hand. I guess my time is somewhat wasted since trying to polish/glaze by hand isn't getting me too far. I usually do a 4 step process when I...

    Metal Polish Choices

    I just bought new/old mufflers and they are a little dirty. I want to get them looking nice before I install them but I'm not sure what to use on them. I'm trying to stay with OTC products for now. I've read that regular degreaser or bug & tar remover will get out all of the black spots, is that...
