Ok, so I finally got to doing the corrections to the right rear panel on my truck. As a recap. I have clear coat failure on this panel. There is also severe, I don't know, scratches for lack of a better term, that I believe was done at one of those drive thru washes. I just don't have any proof...

What would you use for cleaning these rims? They are not coated but they are difficult to work on, especially the rear with the little rim and large rotors. I know I have a bunch of grime to clean off of them. Not really sure about polishing them.

I am curious about something, what would the advantage of using a glass polish (i.e. McKee's 37 High Performance Glass Restorer) over a paint polish (i.e. Optimum Finish Polish), especially when using a DA?

So I finally got some of the supplies I wanted to correct my headlight. Unfortunately about the time I was going to buy the DP products they had gone bye bye. So what I opted to do was to buy what I plan on using for my paint and apply it to the head lights. What I ended up using was the Optimum...

So I have been reading as much as I could find about the new Gloss-Coat. I haven't seen anything yet about longevity of the product. Has anybody tested it out for the last couple of years? From what I can find, 2.0 was essentially a permanent coating whereas the Gloss-Coat is spec'd to be a 2...

What tools would you use to get inside of the grill to both clean and coat? My Nissan Frontier has this grill and I am not sure what process I need to take care of it. This pic is not my truck. I only used it as it was a nice pic to show it.

So is there etiquette about resurrecting old posts to get answers? In other words, if I find an old post that relates to a question I have is it ok to post on that thread or should a new one be started. Personally I see nothing wrong with using an old post to get answers.

Ok, so I have a couple of threads already relating to my headlights and what order for the process of detailing combining paint correction and trim. This question is different from them. I want to work my truck over but I am not going to get into extreme detail. I just want to make it look as...

Keep in mind that I am not a business, what I am asking is for me to just do my own vehicle. There is always a chance to do someone else's, like my daughters car, but that's about it. I am making preparations to do my headlights. Generally I would like to let my DA do all the work, but I don't...

Been out of it for awhile as I got super disappointed in the crows feet in the hood of my Frontier. I finally decided to get back to it. I have looked around but have not found something that addresses what I am asking. What I am trying to find out is what order I should do all the detailing...

Check out this photo. I am using the PB 2.5 and have made two sets of 5-6 passes with my DA. I see all these little white line. Some of them are singles and others are T shaped. They seem to maybe be cracks in the clear but I am not sure. What do you think and how should I take care of it?

I didn't see a spot to post this so I am doing it here. Previous to this week, after viewing a thread and either hitting F5 to refresh or (in the case of the Auto Detailing 101) I would just click the forum name to be taken back to that forum, the threads that I have looked at would turn a light...

I made my first purchase yesterday. It was while they had the three hour free shipping deal. It was perfect timing since I also used the sign up code for 10% off. In the end I save over $41. I can't wait till it gets in. I knew that I would forget something and at least one of them was 2 grit...

My daughter was in town from Houston this weekend for her brothers birthday. I had told her before that her headlights were pretty bad and I was going to fix it next time she was in town. What I used was the 3M Headlight Lens Restoration System #39045. This is the system: These are the...

You can read my introduction and where I stand here: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/introduce-yourself/61121-newbie-san-antonio.html I went to clean my truck today. The first thing I did was to use my Husky H2000 to clean the body and tires. It has a wand that you can adjust for hi...

Three years ago I was very interested in detailing my truck. A new for me then (two year old) black Nissan Frontier. Those desires got dashed after awhile since I have no place to do it except for the hot dang sun. I mean usually by 0900 the body of my hot to the touch. I really was unable to...
