    I don`t understand buffing pad colors

    I recently got a set of 3" buffing/polishing pads off Amazon and I need to get a better understanding about how to use them in general. If there's a tutorial out there that explains them I'd appreciate a link. I don't have the chart in front of me right now, but I believe the instructions that...

    Saving this '02 Taurus clear coat

    I've got this '02 Taurus that has aged unusually badly on the hood roof and trunk top, and if I can just get these parts addressed the car will look so much better. I'm not aiming for anything close to perfect...just trying to make these look better so your eye isn't drawn right to them...

    el naturale tire dressing

    I want a tire dressing that's very flat with no sheen at all. Ideally I'd like it to leave the tire just looking like very fresh rubber. Problem is, everything the local car store carries gives a gloss. Is there a tire dressing that's specifically known to give the look I'm wanting? I'll...

    polish pads and compounds for my old jeep?

    I've got a great survivor '96 Jeep Cherokee in Flame Red. I had a local professional detailer do some kind of cutting process a few years ago that really brought the bang back out of the color. Since the fender flares were looking worn I just finished repainting them with a rattle can base color...

    Need 7" polisher suggestion

    I need an ok quality dual action DA 7" polisher. It'll get just DIY type use so it doesn't need to be as high in quality as say a professional would need. Been spending a lot of $$ lately on tools/equipment so I'm trying to save some here. Hopefully there's something out there around the...

    6" vs 7" polisher

    I'm in the market for a 7" polisher but because I've spent soo much on equipment lately I'm having to cheap out and go with the lowest cost option that'll get the job done. I've found some relatively affordable 6" random orbital polishers but the cheapest 7" RO is gonna be $100 more. I've...

    Converting an angle grinder into a polisher

    Is there a conversion spindle that lets a regular angle grinder turn a 7" polishing pad, basically converting it into a polisher? If so, what is the part called and where can I find it? Thanks.

    Matching this interior color

    Got a 2002 Taurus and the plastic/rubber panel covering has separated from all 4 doors... I'm just gonna tape off, prep and rattle can these panels. I'm wondering if my interior trim code could be used to match the paint exactly or should I just compare can tops and match it the best I can...

    Clear coats and dings

    Hey I just got this 2002 Taurus and the clear coat is flaking off the front plastic bumper and door side moldings... I'd like to make this disappear but as economically as possible. I'm not really looking for something that'll last forever. Maybe a couple years would be good enough. I'm...

    What to do with this spot?

    Not realizing what I was doing I burned the crap out of my paint job trying to remove some vehicle lettering with a drill and an eraser wheel. The bad spot is the round patch right in the middle. The upper right is just a reflection of clouds. This was once a police car that got a cheap...

    tire dressing

    What's a good long lasting tire dressing? I used to use this stuff called Wipe New - Tires but it's since been discontinued. There was a process. First you soaped and scrub cleaned the tire, then let dry. Then you don a 3M chemical filter cartridge mask, because no joke this stuff was...
