We bought our car out of state. I was removing the state inspection sticker from the inside windshield. I used Goof Off, a hair dryer and a razor Looks like I may have left a 1/2" horizontal scratch. It's above where the VIN is and not noticeable unless looking for it. I'm surprised this...

Found a scratch on my Escalade's black wheels. Griots Paint Correcting Cream didn't seem to help. It's tiny and there are 3 small "white marks." Is there a particular paint I can use? High gloss black Thank you

Hello. Have a '25 Escalade. I was doing the initial wash on it and noticed a pen tip sized dot on the drivers side door. Not sure if this is from a small rock or a defect in the paint. I hadn't noticed it before Thoughts ? Claying it did not remove it (no surprise). It *appears* to be raised...

Hi Mike i have a 2020 Ford Raptor and I will be installing OEM bedside decals (as attached). 2 questions : 1. What should I use to prep the area to remove wax etc ? 2. These graphics are $650/pair and I’m really trying to ensure I do this right. Does a spray bottle with a soapy mix still...

My Raptor did not come with bedside “Raptor” graphics, and I’m considering putting some on. My truck only has wax (Chemical Brothers Hydra Slick). Is dawn soap and water sufficient to prep the surface ? I’m assuming isopropyl alcohol would be harmful to painted surfaces ? thank you ps: Any...

I have a new Ford Raptor I will be using for mostly daily driving and infrequent (mild) off roading and I’d like to protect the paint. I’m hesitant to explore Modesta ceramic coatings, because I understand there is annual maintenance you must do with the installer ? So I found a local...

I have 3 white scratches, in close proximity to each other, on my driver’s side window. I hadn’t noticed them until my windows were tinted. I own a Bauer 6” da and Griot’s 3” da. I am planning to use the Griot’s to try and buff them out. But had the following questions : - What speed should I...

What’s a safe way to remove this? After using a DA buffer and Griot’s polish, I noticed white dust all over the steps of my truck. Tried removing it with Gold Class car wash and a microfiber towel, to no avail The steps are coated with a grip tape type finish

Not sure how it happened, but I have 2 or 3 small scratches on my drivers side window. They’re white, on the exterior and you can feel them with your finger. What are my options ?

Hi Mike, I own a Griot’s 3” polisher. As well as a set of Griot’s black and red pads. I just picked up their correcting cream and 3-1 Griot’s Liquid wax. I have a new Ford Raptor (grey) that I need to remove swirl marks from. I’m attempting to do the least abrasive approach possible, without...

What is the best way to protect the rest of the vehicle (from buffing dust) when using a da buffer? I have been using painters tape to surround the immediate area and simply throwing a sheet over the hood. I’m trying to avoid having to clay the car after buffing. The dust seems to stick ...

I have a Griots garage 3” polisher which I bought from this site. Would Meguiars swirl remover 2.0 do the job with a red pad? Or is there a product specifically designed for this ?

Just got a new truck. There is some (rough feeling) adhesive residue left from a sticker removal. Is regular Goof Off safe to use to remove this?

I have a Bauer DA and I usually buy the pads from Harbor Freight. They have orange cutting pads (most aggressive it seems), blue pad for polishing and white pads for wax. I generally use a blue pad for light swirl remover, but seem to have misplaced it. Is it ok to use the orange pad with...

I have a 2019 Tacoma TRD pro. I went off-roading and wanted a quick clean, so I went to an automatic car wash. What a mistake, tons of scratches from the brushes (see pic ) i bought a Bauer DA polisher, Meguiars 105 compound and Meguiars polish. I used an orange pad with the compound and a blue...
