Does anyone here know what the solvent for most common car paints is? I need to repair a small scratch and want to know what I can use to clean up tools and brushes afterwards. Thanks, Mike PS - I have a Hyundai and do have the manufacturers touch-up paint.

I bough a bunch of micro fiber clothes online to use for wasting and drying. They are great for washing but suck for drying. What do you guys suggest for drying? The cloths I have are small and seem to just move the water around instead of absorb it. Thanks, Mike

I got a 3/4 inch, very thin scratch in my car door and want to take care of it myself. It does not go all the way to the metal, but gray primer is certainly visible. The weird thing is that it feels raised, not indented. So my question is, should I smooth it out before carefully applying...

OMG!!!! I clayed my car today for the first time and LOVED IT! It's really easy and the results made me insanely happy! Afterwards, I used Black Fire Crystal Seal and the the car looks better than when I bought it, 8 weeks ago! I'm hooked. If you've never done it, do it! It's actually fun to do...

I recently wanted to use some paint sealant, Blackfire Crystal Seal, but realized after washing that I would have to clay the paint to remove all contaminants. After doing that should I polish and then apply wax or can I polish and just use the paint sealant? Also, after doing all this isn't...

I was recently told Liquid Glass is a sealant, but Blackfire Crystal Seal and Wolfgang Deep Gloss Liquid Seal are coatings. What's the difference? I'm confused. What I want is somthing that is easy to use, will protect my paint, give a good shine and NOT get caught in the edges of the hood...

I just had 3M PPF put on my hood and door edges. I am kind put off by what I read about potential wax buildup on the edges of the film, so I am wondering if there are any clear paint sealants that would make that issue nonexistent! I have read you can tape the edges of the film but that means...

I am wondering whether the 3M paint protection film that can be put on the hood and door edges is good and worth the cost. Anyone have experience with this stuff? Any drawbacks to using it? Thanks, Mike

Can anyone recommend a good random orbital buffer that won't break the bank? I've seen some that are $25.00 and some that are $400.00. I am not fanatical about detailing but want to do a good job buffing wax and sealants. Will any of the lower priced ones do the job? I'd love to stay...

This is my first post so forgive me if this has been asked before. I couldn't find anything about it when I searched. I have never used this product, but it seems to get high praise on this forum. I just bought a new ruby red Sonata SE (I know, no trophy car, but I love it!) and want to do a...
