I have a small amount of left over Cquartz SiC and want to apply it to my winter wheels for my Edge before I swap them this season. I'm pretty sure last spring I applied a layer of Griots 3-in-1 before putting them away so I want to strip it off before applying the SiC. I don't have a lot of...

Recently I've had issues uploading pictures. I get an error stating it needs to be max of 640×480, or something like that. As recently as December 15th, I had no issues with bigger pictures (4032x1816). I know there was a limit to the file size (mb), but now there's a pixel limit. Did...

I planned on picking up some compound for some slightly more aggressive correction than ultimate polish I have. This is to correct some water spots and possibly some buildup on my 18 Ford Edge on the rear spoiler on the tailgate. Car has sat outside 24/7 since about May with a month between...

I'm looking forward to warmer weather so I can tackle the paint my my new to me 2018 Edge Sport. I know tests spots will be the final answer, but does anyone have experience with somewhat modern Ford paint? I have a GG6 with LC microfiber, orange and white pads. I was thinking of some Griots...

My kid scratched the door on my Golf R this weekend with his bike. I park my car as close to the outside wall as possible to prevent this, but it was inevitable....again. Last time he rubbed up against it with his rubber hand grip and it marred the paint, but not noticeable for the most part...

I went to our annual Back to the 50's car show yesterday and looking at all the vehicles, first thing I see are swirls. Almost every car that had shiny paint was covered in swirls. Before I bought my Golf R (March 2020) and joined this form, I would have never noticed, but now swirls stick out...

After washing my red Golf R yesterday, I noticed what I thought were bug guts left over. I tried to remove them with a bit more rubbing and also tried WD40 as someone suggested. It didn't help. Looking closer, it appears that the bug guts actually etched the EXO (over CSL) top coat that I...

I'm curious, I polished my 89 Mustang on Monday and am waiting for my bottle of EXO and panel wipe to top it. Paint went from an off white to 'real' white. The car will be sitting in the garage, with maybe a quick drive or 2 this weekend. No exposure to rain. The paint is a single stage white...

So, I finally got my 89 Mustang out of winter storage last weekend. The paint on the car has never been great, especially the hood. When I picked it up 15 years ago, the seller said he had the hood re-clearcoated and it started to peal. I fairly certain the car was repainted as some point, with...

Long time lurker, first time poster. Lots of words below. Feel free to skip to the pictures. I picked up a 2016 Tornado Red Golf R in early March of this year. Certified with 20k miles on it. It looked good, quick and is fun to drive (all maybe 1k miles since I picked it up 3 months ago). AWD...
