You know, I walked out there this morning to see where the heads are and, since I live relatively close to the beach, the wind is pretty killer too. I'll put that buck in the back of the truck, for sure. It just amazes me that the concrete and everything is stained brown from this water and...

I did my biannual detail with Wolfgang 3.0 as the sealant about 3(ish) months ago, preceded by iron x/clay bar/ meguirs medium compound/menzernas polish/IPA wipe and seal. I'm going to start with the CarPro Spotless and hope I get it in by Saturday. Next question is what can I use to prevent...

So long story short, some sprinklers shot my car with some pretty rough water and it sat on there for a day. This picture shows the before and after a wipe with Griot's Speedshine: I did the tailgate, but I had to pretty much scrub it, and even still, you could see small spots standing...

First pic shows it best. End result is just a polished look of that so its glossy. It's just the knowing I didn't fully complete what I was after.

I recently removed the "TACOMA" side badges from my '09. I did the traditionally fishing line and pull method and then used label remover after. I couldn't get everything off and for good reason, it appears the glue, or maybe the badge etched into the paint-see pictures. I tried sanding with...

I'm a little unclear because for some reason water doesn't come out as much as it seems you guys are saying. I cemented everything except the tubes going to the springs, but it doesn't seem to have a lot of pressure. Any ideas to make it squirt more water?

Ordered a orange pad. Going to do the rest of the car with that for now. If it doesn't get out the spots I'll get a new cutting compound for a few months down the road. It's my first time doing it so Id like to take my time with it. Thanks for all the great suggestions!

I'm open to different products, whatever will get the job done really.

What do you recommend stepping up to? Pre-polish FG 400 with a black pad? or something less abrasive? Like I said, I'm still new to this detailing, so I don't want to go overboard and get something that'll dig into. I'd rather get the next "step" up for cutting, but ensure I won't go through...

Hi. I'm in the process of getting water etchings out of my Subaru, but have read they have incredibly soft paint. I went at the hood this weekend with my porter DA, white pad and Menzerna sf-4000. It got the swirl marks out but I can still see the water etchings regardless of making many passes...

I figured it'd have to be removed. Can I use some goo gone to take off the adhesive followed by a wash? It's just the lower part of the hood scoop so I'm too worried about reapplying it. I figure the wrap will be similar to taking off window tint, just slow and steady.

Hello all! I just ordered a bunch of goodies for my new 13 Subaru STI that I was going to use this weekend-Porter DA/Menzerna sf-4000, Wolfgang sealant, etc...but I ran into an issue. The front end has a clear bra half way up, including the hood scoop. The lower part of the hood scoop is...
