I ordered some 1z metal polish. I have 22 inch chromes that have some rust marks and some dull looking areas. I've never polished wheels before, what's the best way to go about this? Is there anything to worry about, I'm scared i'm goint to ruin the rims.

Has anyone tried this product form 1Z. It's fairly cheap and i was thinking of giving it a try. Is there anything to watch out for? I have a set of chrome rims that i'd like to bring back to new condition.

We just bought a used car that has 22 inch chrome wheels on it. When looking at the wheels up close I see some black specks that almost look like tar spots. I also see some different spots that almost look like rust. What can I use to get rid of these marks and make the wheels look new again?

Everyone always shows off their great rotary jobs, but I'd like to see some of the great PC jobs. Thanks

Do people here use 4 inch pads for the whole vehicle or are they too small? Would I need some 5.5, i've been using 6.5 but i'm not having much luck getting rid of swirls.

I'm just curious if it's possible to burn the paint even if you keep the rpm's at around 1000-1200?

Yesterday I asked how using Megs 105 would work on Mercedes Clear with a PC. Someone responded by saying they thought it micromarr the crap out of it. Do other people agree with this? What should I use instead, the car is an 07 GL450.

After going back and forth for awhile I think I'm going to buy the Makita instead of buying smaller pads for the pc. Most of you suggested that I just go rotary. The only thing I'm really nervouse about is Burning the paint. Exactly how easy is it to burn the paint? I mean do you have to be...

I have a 07 Mercedes GL450 that has a lot of swirls and scratches. Will 4 inch pads be enough to polish the hard clear with my pc?

I'm making an order and am trying to decide if should buy Megs 105 and Menzerna SIP or if I should just purchase M105? I already have 106ff, should I still purchase SIP?

What pad would you recommend for a Meg 105 done by PC? I'll either be using 5.5 inch pads or 4 inch pads.

I'm just wondering if the backing plates are interchangeable between rotary's and PC's?

Are these the basically the same or is 105 a lot more of a compound? Would it be stupid to have SIP and M105? I already have 106ff, is SIP not needed?

I've decided to get smaller pads before I go to a rotary. I've been using 6.5 inch pads on my PC. I had originally planned going down to 4 inch pads since they will correct better. After looking on a few web sites they really make it sound like they 4 inchers are really just for spot fixing...

I'm sorry to bug you guys again with this but I still can't make a decision. As I've expressed before I've really never been blown away with the PC results with my 6.5 inch pads. Some people here have recommended swithing to 4 inch pads while others have suggested just going straight to a...

I've been using a pc with 6.5 pads for a few years. I've never had amazing success, just marginal results. Lately i've been using 106ff. It seems a lot of people like using 4 inch pads. Why is this? Are they easier to work with? Should I try that or do i just need to break down and buy a...

I've just purchased a Mercedes GL450 whose paint is not up to Autopian Standards. Lots of scratches and swirls. The scratches you can't feel with your fingernail. I'm planning on buying some Menzerna SIP and then following up with 106ff. I have yellow, orange, green, and white LC CCS pads...

Does Pakshak still offer a discount for Autopia members? If so what do you have to do to get it? Are there any other web sites that offer discounts for Autopia members?

what exactly is the difference? I'll try to post pictures later tonight. From my understading you can get rid of buffer trails with a PC but for Burn you'll have to repaint.

I'm looking at purchasing a Mercedes GL450 that looks like someone didn't really know how to use a rotary. My question is, is this something I can fix with a PC or would I have to use a rotary to fix this? I don't have a rotary.
