Brake Hose blew out on me. Luckily, it was from a parked position when I noticed the pedal.....   Coasted home like a champ. Sprayed  it down with a pressure washer, then did a liberal dousing of P21S gel. Brake fluid I know can eat paint. The Powdercoated wheels and calipers turned out...

So I'm cleaning 2 polish dispenser bottles. One's a fine finishing and another is a light polishing. You can't get all the product out by squeezing it out, so I decided to just run some hot water in them and let it soak. It's funny cause I would assume the product would float to the top. On...

When working on isolated area like Door Pillars, bumpers, etc - what's your tool of choice these days ? There is the 3" Griots and or 3" Pneumeatic - both of which I don't own or have used... Hence, it's a 3" plate with pad on the Rotary for me. RO/DA seems to be the rave these...

I had applied a area with painters tape --- as I was having the windshield replaced. Removed it there was some residue. UWWP + and MF will not remove the residue. If I use 3M Adhesive Remover, will I need to wash the car afterwards. OR can I use it, and just QD the area back...

Just doing a late spring cleanup ONR - about 65-70 full gallon jug !Z Paint Polish and Metallic Polish (polish and finish polishes). About 80-85% full in their Paint and 92% in the Mettalic Free for the taking. Just come and pick it up.

I'm working on a side project and was wondering... What are the possible causes of micro-cracking-spiderwebbing in the headlight overs. Overpolishing/heat. Can *too much* be wetsanded. All of the above and then some. For those that know more about this, feel free to chime in

What are ya'll using for glass towels. I'm in MicroFiber Overload. Run of the mill surgical towels. Who online is carry a low nap suedish sorta glass towel...

For those that have used the ETR kit on *new* trim, coloration/gloss factor wise, how much in color or gloss does it add to *new* semi-sheen *new black* trim. I'm looking at the ETR for it's touted abilities of locking/sealing/preventing UV fade, however, I'm not looking to make the trim more...

For a exotic, PPF serves a major primary purpose. A repaint, which seriously degrades the value of the car. If one was to take 2 like cars, polished and LSP'ed in the same manner, one applied with PPF and one applied without PPF, how discernible is your golden eye to detect the gloss or how...

There about 3 spots I need to touch up. I'm thinking Q tips with 3M Tar Remover and then I would give the clearbra some plexus on the areas where I was working on. Is there a better solution/product I should try ?

So I had some time left washing the car and decided to add some P21s onto the car (it has a coat of NXT/16) that was put on about a month ago. Anyhow, it add this AMAZING depth to it. Usually, on my Jet Black car in Bright Sunlight, the car's reflectivity is so high that is takes on this...

The 1st time I used it was basically my last time. I used 1Z PP on my black car and I ended up marring it so bad that I just brought it to the local detailer to correct. It was a overcast cloudy day and as I used the PC, the finish looked GREAT. On the next day - ugh , it was marred all over...

I can never get these streak free. TW or EO glass cleaners. Using clean MF or newspaper. Man......the one time I did get them streak free and MINT was when I experimented with one of those surgical wipe towels I swiped from my doctors office. Now those were good. Newspapers are good to...

I couldn't help it...this is hilarious. Listen HERE

I'm contemplating between the PC vs. Cyclo. Leaning on the Cyclo since I like the smaller pads....and I got I chance to work with it once this summer , has a good balance! Just curious for those that may have made the PC-Cyclo Switch themselves...
