I have a 2016 Ford Fusion Energi. The grill is I think a chrome coating. What can I use to protect this. I was thinking DLUX but it seems to give sort of a rainbow effect to the metal. I have all the Black label coatings. Should I use one of those for the chrome?

So I've been driving myself crazy trying to get my UHS pads clean.

Hi Guys, I need some help repainting my interior plastics. I want to sand them and make them look better using rattle cans. So I took out my center console cup holders and radio bezel on my 99 ford explorer to refinish them because they were starting to fade and look nasty. They had some...

Hi guys So I just got my Rupes 21 today. I also got the 5in bp to go along with it. I took it out and tried a meguiars buffing pad with the 6 in bp and it tore the Velcro off the back of the pad when I tried it out. Is this normal? Should I not use the meguiars pads with the Rupes? Also is...
