I’ve done a search on steam cleaning and don’t really find anything about steam cleaning paint. A customer sent me a video today if someone steam cleans paint. To me this seems more like a gimmick. The only real advantage I can think of is possibly using a couple less chemicals like bug remover...

Is there anyone here fro the Kansas City area? I have someone in that area looking for a paint correction and ceramic coating.

Picked up this little jewel for my wife’s birthday. Bought it from her sister. 20 years old and 27K on the odometer. She sat for a lot of her life. In the process of breathing new life into her. Naturally I started with the paint. Really anxious to get the mechanical items taken care of so I can...

It was her firs car show in 6 months. Her first show she got second losing to a 2020 Corvette that was nothing special, except for what it was. Today she got first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had my Griot’s 21 for 5 years and it’s served me well. It finally went bad, bearing obviously went out. Call them for instructions on where to send it. Send it out a week later a new machine shows up. Rupes Mark III is bad ou if the box. I know this because it’s the second a Rupes machine I’ve...

A couple years ago I bought a Duetto, the machine was really loud...I mean really loud. After a few hours use it started making noise like the bearings were shot. Sent it in, when I got it back there was a service ticket in there for 195.00 of course the machine was under warranty. After about...

Just like the title says, wondering if anyone has used this product on vehicles that have hydro dipped parts under the hood. I would think it would be fine, but better safe than sorry. I can obviously do a test spot, just trying to save a little time.

This was definitely a poor choice of material for the roof of a car in Texas, one that isn’t maintained very well especially. Is piano plastic black all the way through? You can see the protective coating is mostly gone. I’m wondering if I can sand this down with no possibility of hitting a...

This 2010 has 8 years of neglect and abuse and has 93K on the clock. First step on the paint was my PE14 and wool. From there it was my G21, Rupes Mille, Flex mini and Ibrid. Compound/polishes Cut+, FCC, Shine Supply Slick Back. For claying I used Feynlab Prime as lube. On the vinyl I used...

I`m trying to place an order. First there is no way to view my rewards points. I log out, log back in, problem solved. Go to check out and there is no where to enter the sale code...what`s the deal? It`s been a couple months since I ordered anything, but I know there has always been a place to...

Are there any Lumar installer from the DFW area here??

Can anyone tell me how long it usually take Autopia customer service to respond to emails?? Had a problem with an order I received and emailed them twice today and haven`t received anything back from them.

I`m looking for the most aggressive compound I can find. From my research it seems to be Scholl`s S0. Has anyone used this to verify it`s as aggressive as the description leads me to believe? Referred to as liquid sand paper. I looked at Meg`s 101, but I`ve tried several of the normal aggressive...

Silver isn`t the best color to show gloss. This is a 2006 Silver Range Rover with SPS (official release date early June) base coat and top coat. No before pictures, but she looked every bit of her age.
