    Remove white lithium grease

    I was used on my door hinges (not by me). I have used it before though and it tends to splatter everywhere, not clean or easy to use in the spray can. I'll try the 3m stuff (which I happen to have). Thank you.

    Remove white lithium grease

    Overspray of white lithium grease is all over the door jamb and various places. I want to remove it but so far P21s, purple power, and dawn all don't work. Ideas?

    P21s TAW and Vinyl Stripes

    Thanks for the full detail. What is ONR & OCW? I am both surprised and not surprised at the information you post. On one hand, I have washed my car (stripes and all) with Dawn twice a year (yes I am not doing this anymore), pre wax cleaned, and waxed my stripes for 2 years now and they look...

    P21s TAW and Vinyl Stripes

    Yes they are 3m commercial grade vinyl. I got them from Baltimore Street Mods if that matters.

    Trouble finding the right pads for PC7424

    Thank you. I was looking and it seems they only come in the cutting orange type, and the 3.5" only come in red and white. I know it sound AR (I'll bet you understand), but I like a full compliment of foam pad options.

    Trouble finding the right pads for PC7424

    I am seeking non CCS 4" pads for my PC7424. I like the 4" size better though because between my 2007 Mustang (with stripes) and my wife's 2008 Jeep Wrangler, there are not many expansive surfaces, rather the sections I need to polish/apply to are smaller. I have used LC CCS pads in both 6.5"...

    Man versus Machine

    This post (and the 1 step versus 3 steps) are a few of the most informative posts I have ever read on the detailing forum. People often assert this works better than that, here is how you use this stuff, etc. These posts really give some tangible proof, along with some tidbits of application...

    P21s TAW and Vinyl Stripes

    I sent an email to P21s regarding Total Auto Wash regarding if it was safe on vinyl stripes on my Mustang Shelby. Their email said to avoid the stripes, but only because they were unsure. I wanted to know if anyone here has used P21s TAW on vinyl graphics or stripes and what was the result...

    More agressive, P21s or Dawn blue?

    That is exactly what I had in mind twice a year. Thanks.

    More agressive, P21s or Dawn blue?

    Let me clarify. My pickup truck is not only 10 years old (decent finish), but is my daily driver, including during the very harsh and salty Michigan winters. I wash it about every 1-3 weeks (by hand in summer and gasp - car washes in winter), but it still is subject to harsh crud. Twice a...

    More agressive, P21s or Dawn blue?

    Here is an interesting question: Which is more agressive (removes dirt and derbis better), and second, which is harder on the paint? Dawn or P21s? I'm curious to know if possibly one after the other in that they do two different thing (chemically)?

    What is recommended for stripping of sealer and wax

    Yes that explains it all. I've used all categories of those products. What I have not figured out yet is if a pre wax cleaner, then carnauba wax (Mothers) protects or looks any better than the cleaner wax I have tried (Meguiars, came with the clay bars). What I think is that the prewax...

    What is recommended for stripping of sealer and wax

    Thanks, I read the link completely. It sounds like Dawn (which is what I have been using when I want to strip off stuff) works good. Also, do I understand that IPA = isopropyl alcohol? and that AR = Anal Retentive? What kind of product would be considered a "paintwork cleaner" as mentioned a...

    What is recommended for stripping of sealer and wax

    What product do you recommend for removing wax (Mothers california gold) or sealer (Rejex) in preparation for the twice yearly detailing? I want to remove any excess or buildup that may be on the surface before starting fresh. Thank you.

    How to use P21s Total Auto Wash

    Twice a year, I do a complete wash, clay, prewax clean, glaze, and sealer on both daily drivers. I just bought some P21s to use on the whole car for the twice yearly cleaning. How do you recommend I use this stuff? I was thinking to spray directly on the surface, then use either a wet wash...
