    Black Again trim restorer

    I've always had good luck with this product but it's been many years since I've used it and my bottle has dried up. Should I consider any other products? Any real advances to the state of the art?

    HF polisher eats HF foam pads

    What am I doing wrong? The Harbor Freight 6" foam pads have a 5" felt disk to attach the the Velcro backer. If I use a 5" backing pad the edge of the backer cuts into the bare foam surrounding the felt disk until chunks start to fly off. If I use a 6" backer the rough Velcro chews up the...

    How do I level touch-up paint?

    I bought a used car from the "scratch & dent" section. I recently got a touch-up paint pen to fill some of the more obvious scratches & chips. This "pen" is the kind with a pointed scrubber tip, hard-tip paint pen, small color brush, and a small foam applicator of clear coat. On hairline...

    Rear seat difficult to move

    I have a 2010 Traverse I just bought. Thanks to the tough used car market right now I had to take a vehicle that has some issues. I took it to a local detailer to see what he could do with the grubby interior. They cleaned out the seat tracks but it still takes a lot of effort to move the seats...

    My youngest daughter just bought a 2009 Saturn Vue. Car looks very nice & looks to have been recently detailed (scrubbed carpet, paper floor mat on driver side...) but when I opened the door the first thing I noticed was the strong smell of mold & mildew. It felt dry under the seats but I...

    It's there much difference in backing plates?

    I'm new to DA buffing (unless you count a beastly 12" Dewalt I've been using for years). I have a PC 7335 but it's an older single - speed machine so I recently bought a Harbor Freight DA. It came wIth a 6" plate and just so I can get started ASAP I've swapped the 5" plate off my PC. Although...
