Try any Billett aluminum cleaner. It has to say billett. I used aluminum cleaner on my catch can from water etching and it was a no go. I brought some Mother's Billett aluminum cleaner and it looks brand new.

Mike...This forum has saved me twice now. The time my wife dropped a rake down her Mustang, and watching the videos, I learned how to use my walt's buffer and the scratches dissapeared. Now when I thought my $160.00 catch can and ABS cover was etched forever, presto all cleaned due to this...

Here are the before and after pictures of my catch can. It turns out that I needed Aluminun Billet cleaner like you guys suggested in my previous post not aluminum (wheel) cleaner. Turned out perfect!!! Before: After: It was Mother's Billet Aluminum cleaner. Expensive but...

I tried an apc with no luck. I tried wheel and mag cleaner with no luck. I used a buffing wheel on a dremel with no luck. I am now buying some of the recommended metal polishing compounds and try to hand buff it out. Thanks everyone for your help.

I hope someone can help me out. The following pictures are of my catch can and abs brake module cover. I have done everything I can think of to get rid of the watermarks and nothing has worked.

I have hard water stains on polished billet aluminum and unable to get it off. Any help would be appreciated. It seems to be etched in the surface.

Thanks Everyone for your help!!

Thanks everyone!!!!!

polish I will try to shake them up tonight when I get home. They have been in the house now for 24hrs. Our house is always set at 70 degrees because I can't stand the heat. We brought all of the tools (Dewalt rotary), pads, and everthing else inside. My wife was so nice she gave up cabinet...

I did bring them inside the house but I think there cooked. I am going to buy new ones and take the advice of the other post, and keep them in the house. This summer has been brutal and we had a lot of solutions go bad. thanks

The last few days my garage tempature exceeded 100 degrees and it seems like my xmt 1 2 3 4 polish lost it's viscosity. They are about a year old so I don't know if it was the heat or are they just old. I only do 2 cars so they sit on the shelf. How long should they last. There almost like water.

I did and it was only $50.00 to do it. It was the best investment we ever made. My wife uses the pressure washer now on the deck and driveway patio and I can wash the cars and tractor with no water spots. The plummer said it is an easy job.

I did a search to find out if anyone else did this but there wasn't one. This may sound crazy but I buffed dry liquid soveran wax off with a lake county red pad using a Dewalt 849 buffer and it came out amazing. To prove to myself that I didn't take the wax off I put water on it and it beaded up...

I am attempting for the first time to detail my engine bay on a 2006 gto. I keep reading about APC but I don't understand what this is, where do you buy it, and it seems to be mixed in with certain products. Any advice would be helpful and thanks in advance.

Thanks Mike!!

I need advice on what to use on a spicey red 2006 GTO. It seems as if you breath to hard on this paint it scratches. I have a Dewalt rotary that I used on my wife's 2004 mustang, and it worked real good, and the paint seemed to be a better quality of paint. I did the GTO with the Dewalt, white...

Thanks Mike!!!!

Is there a spreadsheet available that correlates the speed of the rotary versus DA. Example: If the recommended dial speed for a product using the Porter Cable is 5 what should the dial speed of the Dewalt be set at? I know they are different machines but I have never used a DA or anything but a...

I have a 2006 GTO with a 1 month coat of soveran wax. (paste) The wax is still beading well when washed but now that the sun is out I can see some swirls and very small scrathes. Do I need to remove the wax before polishing with the XMT #1 and a white pad. I claybared the car and polished it...
