    LC orange pads losing stiffness?

    I'm relatively new to machine polishing and out of my five orange LC flat pads I have two that I've used the most on my Griot's G9. Granted I've only done one full car, and I've done a single hood, and a motorcycle tank as practice. After I did the first full car today I'm cleaning my pads out...

    PlastX for piano black interior trim?

    My 2016 Mazda 3 has piano black on the center console and around the shifter. It's picking up a few small scratches here and there. Wondering if I could use something like PlastX to clean up some of those scratches? Then perhaps remove the trim and "wrap" it in clear PPF to prevent it happening...

    LC Yellow pads or LC MF Cutting pads?

    My parents need a new hood for their 2003 Chevrolet S-10, so they snagged one out of a junkyard for relatively cheap. They initially told me that it needs to be repainted because the hood is lighter than the truck, turns out that it's the same color, the hood just needs some major paint love...

    Recommendations on polishing products to start with?

    Hi all! I have a black 2016 Mazda 3 S GT that I'd like to learn to care for a little better! I bought the car as a CPO and it was already in pretty good shape, and I've been following the 2-bucket wash method with Meguiar's products for wash, tire clean/dressing, and spray wax, and I also have...

    Loctite Rust Neutralizer on rock chips?

    I've got a few smaller rock chips on my 2016 Mazda 3 and a few have light surface rust. Would it be advised to use something like Loctite Rust Neutralizer (Access Denied) applied with a toothpick into the chip a few days before using Dr. ColorChip?
