    Does Blackfire wheel cleaner remove ceramic coatings?

    Looking to clean and polish some wheels. Once coated with something like CQuartz or dlux etc, if you use Blackfire to clean them later does it remove the coating? If so, what’s safe to use on coated wheels that does a good job with the brake dust and grime. Thanks.

    Lake Country Pads - Suggestions???

    Folks seem to really like LC foam pads. I am using the Rupes LHR19 and LHR75. I needed some new pads for the 75 and ordered a coupe of LC CCS to try out. Man the velcro sticks very well. MUCH better than the rupes pads on to the LHR19. Is this the case for their bigger 6" pads too? If so I...

    1990 GM Black Paint - Advice needed

    I am working on my first older car. It is a 1990 GM black truck. Overall, the paint is pretty good but I need some advice. I am using a Rupes LHR RO polisher and the Rupes polish, foam system. I did a test panel and was able to get most of the swirls out once I finally got down to the Blue...
