    any suggestions on the best cleaner for spraying underneath and power washing off? Diluted simple green has been doing okay but it's leaving residue and isn't that great on greasy stuff.

    Klasse SG vs Collinite 476s

    Polishing BMW Shadowline Trim

    Was working on the my Alpine white BMW X3 today. Hit the roof with megs ultimate compound and ultimate polish (very underrated combo) and it came out beautifully! But I noticed that the roof rails, in gloss "shadowline" black still had some haze and light swirls in them. I ran the UP with a...

This either involves me getting underneath and scrubbing with a daytona wheel brush or just spraying it down with simple green or flash brown royal, letting it sit and pressure washing it off. I've been doing this for the...
