    Taillight Help

    First time correcting the lights on this car since I had it and since the dealership washed it. I ran into an issue when correcting the taillights, some super stubborn scratches. The headlights went perfectly using a 3" Tangerine pad with HD Polish with some tougher areas with a 3" Cyan and...

    Decibel Rating of Various Polishers

    As I was getting interested in a new polisher I had kept researching decibel readings as I often try to work in my garage at night and prefer to avoid annoying neighbors. Polishing at night is beyond a rare occurrence but I was still intrigued. So when I got the Flex I knew I wanted to make...

    Failed Login Notification

    Anyone else get this email? It was more weird that I got it from two different vBulletin forums with different usernames in the same day. Checking other forums doesn't look like any posts or PM's were made. Quick google search says it's just spammers trying to mass PM forums.

    IronX at work and new BR-Z Prep

    Got this brand new White BRZ in a couple days ago. Paint was almost flawless which was surprising. I had the opportunity to get some good Iron-X shots. Final product Overall I didn't find the paint too difficult to work with. But then again it is white, if it was a color that showed...

    Sonus Trim and Motor Kote

    I recently picked up Sonus Trim and Motor Kote as an accessory to dressing my engine bay. It can be quite difficult to get applicators in tight spots and avoid leaning all over your front bumper, Sonus' offering counters this by offering a spray dressing. The directions are as follows...

    Review: Bouncer's Sherbet Fizz

    Well I am nothing less than absolutely impressed with this wax. From application to smell, packaging, the only downfall is that it was night out by the time I got done so I didn't have time to get pictures of it. But alas I will tomorrow when I apply a second coat. I applied this wax by...

    Pad Failure, did I mess up or was it a defect?

    So I recently got these 3" Hydro-techs in and after using it for around 10-15 minutes of actual polishing on speed 3 I went to clean it after I finished the paneland this occurred. Did I overheat it or was it doomed to fail? Thanks.

    Review: Nevr-Dull

    It seems like everytime I look at my collection I find something I'm missing. This last week I've become more and more disappointed in my exhaust tips looked, they weren't terribly dirty but they never had that pop to them I see from the pros. They were always pretty dull so after looking...

    3M Paint Defender (Spray-on Clear Bra) Review

    I will be updating this as it dries. 3M states it takes 2-4 hours to dry and 1-4 days curing time for it to be water repellent, I believe mine will be done at the minimum if not before as this was done at 90 degrees and the car is parked outside in the sun. So for this I did a control the...

    Compounding/Polishing Questions

    So yesterday I got to spend 6 hours or so working on my first paint correction on my 2012 Camaro. I'd say I fixed 60-70% but I definitely want to go over it again and work on it more. I used a two-step as I initially tried Menz SF4000 and it didnt have enough cut to clear the water etching and...
