uuggh. Coming home last night, exiting the freeway, I fishtailed ever so little that my rear touched the curb (it was raining and wet). So the rear has a slight 3/4" gash on my brand new wheels. Have not done a wheel repair in ages, but I just wetsand, prepsol, 3m Bondo, wetsand, paint and...

I've decided to run softer brake pads...which = more dust & more frequent cleaning. Curious to how you guys clean your wheels in conjunction with how you apply product..per say. As with anything, most of the product just drips down to the floor anyhow. In the past, I used APC and just went...

Took awhile....but the Brembos are all cleaned up ! Every nook and cranny down to the divots of the star torx screws. Would putting a sealant be beneficial or a waste of time due. I suppose the temps of what the calipers gets to exceeds even sealant operating temps....

Just got a hot smoking deal on a lightly used Brembo BBK . Very low mileage across the board on the set but the owner was not the cleaning type. Somewhat dirty....but that's just typical of the pad itself. I have not taken APC to any of my $$$ wheels in the last couple of years. Mainly car...

Ordering some LC 4" Pads for spot buffing. Should I order the orange, green and white... or is there too much overlap between the 3 grades. Mainly SIP or 106 polish will be used for these applications. Black pads for finishing.

I got some new pads in. Surely I have not gone through as many sets/brands of pads that you guys have. On some of them...LC made, there is slight ripples on the velcro side of the pad. Not enough to feel but enough for me to see. I've read past threads on issues where the velcro came off...

just doing a quick spec on the makita vs. flex rotary Would love the weight/eronomics of the metabo No trigger though..... Between the makita vs flex, I like the specs on the makita more as it has a slower speed at 1 ..... Dunno about balance, etc. When I state balance....it's one of...

Is it truly no towel free...... Anyone using it in the manner of final rinse and no towel touching the surface. Overall long term finish with no towel - just air dry method ?

For the daily driver...I take a route in which the road constuction is like a never ending process. And no matter how far left or right to the lane I drive ;-) , depending on which side of the 6 lanes they are working on, there is always the inevitable water overspray as they use hoses to keep...

I plan to try washing via ONR more frequently as opposed to weekly washes..... However, I tried using ONR this winter. What I found was that whatever it uses to encapsulate, it left my Sheepskin mitts very dirty. I was using 3 mitts per car, but normally how a wash media, you just rinse clean...

I only found 3-4 threads on this.... Anyone using Meg. #135 in the arsenal. Ordering from ADS and was interested in this product

I'm on a spring organization madness. New plastic bottles, sprayers, labeling, rebottling, etc..... I'm down to the last bottles that needs a label and fillup It's mainly for wipedowns post polish. For prepsol, should I leave it straight, or cut it 1:1 or 1:2 ?

Beside the SS mitts I use on all my wheels, I now have more brushes to add to err....my existing set. This is purely subjective but I've always preferred SS mitts as my media of choice for wheel cleaning. These are usually old retired SS mitts that are not worthy of paint no more. Never a fan...

Where can I find the Zep/Griots Style Sprayer heads... Just the heads only...not the bottle/head set.

I'm inclined to buy a white pad and just cut it up in smaller blocks as opposed to those *ccs hand applicators* which is still to large to get into the shallow area with the door handle in my way anyhow.

I've never had a goal to use prepsol on my trim. Always just applied Z16 on them. In my prep for Black WOW, I went to town, spraying down the trim with prepsol and scrubbing with a low nap MF. A combination of 3 years of oxidation and dressing came off, and even prior to black wow, there was...

I'm finally almost out of my gallon jugs of APC. Been using the Meg *apc* - blue colored variant forever. Been looking to add a MF wash as well. In past threads, there seems to be some +++ reviews of the CG MF wash over Micro Restore. Any long term CG MF wash users in here ? Love to hear...

Anyone know of a site to buy different sized orifices for extractor nozzles ? The stock orifice on my nozzle is just a bit too much liquid IMO and I'm looking for with less volume of liquid. I guess it would be go hand in hand with fanout size---to match the width of the nozzle ? I've...
