Hi everyone, I just bought a new truck, picked it up on Tuesday. That night I realized there was a small scratch in the clear plastic of the instrument cluster. I've attached a pic, it's near the 20 mph reading. I called the dealer who said they would probably replace the cluster but I asked...

My girlfriend recently bought a 2015 Cadillac ATS that had just over 6K miles . The car has 18 inch polished aluminum wheels and I found some fairly minor flaws on them. Some could be left on brake dust but there are other things that appear to be stuck on them. I have various things in my...

I have a brand new car ordered and on the way and I just don't have the time or inclination anymore to do more than basic washing and waxing myself these days. I'd like to do things right from the beginning and have a coating put on it. There is one place in the area that installs CQuartz...

Been considering a career change and wondered how much they make. I'm sure it varies between dealerships but I was looking for a ballpark figure. I just dabble in it now and wouldn't have any desire to start a business. A few local dealers are hiring and I was just curious...

Hello there. I did a search but couldn't find a definitive answer for this particular situation. My plan is to do a wash/strip, clay, D151 with white pad, then apply Fuzion to my girlfriend's car. I guess my basic question is will the D151/Fuzion combo work, and if so do I use an IPA or...

I've seen a few threads where people used a white one. I have tangerine and crimson HT's and didn't know if I could use those. If not I'll get some white pads.

I bought the Wolfgang TSR and FG last year and did my car with the TSR with the intention of following up with FG, but never ended up using the FG because the process took way too long(my fault no doubt). I have some swirls returning but they aren't anything major. My understanding from...

Is it better/worse to use Iron X on a wet surface? Does it matter? I know I read somewhere you can clay a wet car so I just wondered as I'm trying to save as much time as possible. My one and a half day job got reduced to just one... Also, Iron X doesn't need diluted correct?

I have a question that I've been wanting to ask but felt dumb until now. On Mike Phillipp's thread about cleaning pads on the fly he mentions using terry towels. Can anyone recommend somewhere to get good ones OTC to do this? I have three of each but I want to be prepared just in case...

I have owned my car just over 5 years now. I have always wanted to tint the windows but I have one concern. Will tint on the rear window damage the rear defogger strips? My dad (a long time mechanic) told me it would and to just not tint the back window but that's dumb to me. It just seems...

So with the recent AG sale I bought a bunch of Hydro tech pads. I was going to go with the CCS but I read alot of comments about how well the HT work so I figured I'd try them. Seems like ever since I placed the order there have been several threads posted about problems with the HT's. Also...

Took some pics today of my swirls. I going to use the PC7424XP with the Wolfgang Twins, and following it up with the WG deep gloss paint sealant. Do you think the orange pad will be sufficient for the cutting phase? First was taken from a distance with out anyhting for the cam to focus on...

I received my new PC7424XP as a gift and the person ordering wasn't real knowledgable about this stuff so they bought the kit with the Pinnacle XMT cleaner and conditioner and the choose your own pads. The pads are 6.5 inch. I'm seeing alot of 6.5 hating on here. Are they really that bad? I...

You guys probably never heard of anything like this lol.. About 2 years ago I was an idiot and put a stick of Right Guard deodorant on my passenger seat. The stick of deodorant melted and stained the seat. While the stain seems to have lightened over time through cleaning I can't seem to get...

Hello, just joined. I'm new to this forum but not new to the forum world. I've been washing cars a long time but I've taken it up a notch or two in the past few years. I originally owned a PC7424 in 2008, used it once, and my crazy ex girfriend didn't give it back (I was living at her...
