    Karcher K2 power washer + foam cannon + vinyl graphics = Safe?

    I have never used a foam cannon before but want to try it. I have three vehicles, but one of them is my daily driver but also my weekend racer and is plastered with vinyl graphics. How far do I need to stay away from standard graphics (in your opinion of course) whilst maintaining the...

    What to do about a sticky leather steering wheel?

    I bought an aftermarket leather steering wheel: KenStyle Steering Wheel For Miata MX-5 ND 2016+ | REV9 I`ve used it for maybe 3-4 months, and already, especially around the perforations, it`s getting sticky. I ran across an old thread from here saying use soapy water, but it was turning the rag...

    XP7224 w/chem guys med-heavy pad instead of light

    I think the name of the pad is worrying me more than necessary. I have a lighter scratch you can't feel with your fingernail, but even on 6 speed and meguire's compound m205....just won't quite come out. Am I better moving to the medium-heavy pad, and if so, what speed setting?

    Portercable xp7424...what smaller pads and attachments?

    I have a PC7424 en route from Amazon (mostly need to use Amazon, shipping is a pain from anywhere else to Hawaii). I have Meguires ultimate compound and a 6.5" light orange cutting pad from CCS, and a black finishing pad for M205, and a black finishing pad for wax/sealant. What I realized is...

    Anyone trustworthy on O‘ahu?

    Title says it all. I have some fine scratches on my paint I don't really feel comfortable buffing out on my own.

    Porter Cable 7424 XP - difficult to damage paint?

    This has probably been asked, but if I bought this is it fairly difficult to damage the paint? I'm mainly looking to apply waxes and whatnot.

    What in the heck is this? Rust?

    I recently moved to Hawaii from Texas. My car was shipped, obviously. It's a 2014 Moonlight Pearl White Infiniti Q50S with only 2k miles on it.It has been meticulously cared for.   Maybe they were always there, but I am noticing these little seemingly rust spots. They are on metal AND ABS...

    Oahu, HI - Looking for a detailer to buff my 2014 Infiniti Q50

    Got some holograms on the hood. I would pay extra if it was someone that could sort of teach me so I could do it in the future.

    Worried - bugs on car 3-4 weeks during shipment.. Paint damage?

    I moved to Hawaii about three weeks ago. At the time Dallas was having a ridiculous cold freeze which is where I shipped the car from. Sadly I had driven 9.5 hours to get there and not a single car dealer or car wash was using water because it was that cold. I have a moonlight pearl white...

    Car soap/wash that you spray on, sit, and then rinse off

    Ok this sounds like a stupid question coming out of my mouth...but is there a certain car foam/soap/wash that you spray on (say using a hose attachment), let it sit, and then assuming the car isn't ABSOLUTELY filthy, basically whisks the dirt away? For example, there are some wheel cleaners that...

    Some sort of foam or something that you can spray on wheels and just wash off?

    Is there some sort of good "magical" solution so that I'm not spending 15 minutes cleaning my wife's Mercedes wheels every time I wash her car? This goes for my California Special Mustang GT 2011 as well which has a ridiculous amount of spokes on the stock wheels.
