(from dealer wash, wipe, whatever...) The scratches are painfully visible in the sunlight, however i cannot seem to...

    Can 'touch-free laser' carwash hurt paint?

    the touch free laser wash has an overhead blower that dries the car nicely, so nothing touches it, thankfully! what is ONR? forgive me for asking, i am new. i dont know much of the lingo yet.

    Can 'touch-free laser' carwash hurt paint?

    i've been reading how people have introduced new scratches when hand washing their cars- even when being especially careful with technique, etc. I have always used the 'touch-free laser' carwash in my area. Isn't that the safest thing to use? i had a black shiny 07 camry and always ran it...

    significant difference 106fa and 85rd?

    cee dog, the first 2 pics are misleading- i fooled around with the contrast and it makes the very fine lines look deep. i ordered a fluorescent work light yesterday so i can really see what i am working with. i will surely take your helpful advice into consideration! thanks again

    significant difference 106fa and 85rd?

    what is the best way to take the most clear paint pictures with detail? i tried to get a few in the sun but the camera is not picking up the scratches. is it best at night with a halogen lamp?

    significant difference 106fa and 85rd?

    i have agonized so much i've been having dreams about it- scratches and polishing! i almost did get the white LC pads at first, then chickened out. Naturally today is cloudy so i cannot get a good picture yet. hopefully some sun will show soon. also, i read that not good idea to do this work...

    significant difference 106fa and 85rd?

    cee dog, I didnt purchase any cutting pads- for fear that would be too much on the paint! i am a bit nervous about this. i got the black(gray) red, blue and soft gold foam jeweling pads. i have the PO 85RD, and Danase Wet Glaze 2.0, Optiseal paint sealant, and optimum car wax (in progressive...

    significant difference 106fa and 85rd?

    i have a new porter cable 7424 with the grey/black lake Country pad. i just didnt want to go too strong as it is a new car, and i have never done this before. i did pretty well today on the jeep, after watching a few how- to videos. i guess if the 106fa has a bit more cut i could try that...
