So I contacted eShine to alert them of this error. Chris from eShine responded quickly to the situation and told me that during the sale they...

    Clearcoat cracks?

    I have a friend that owns a 08' Yukon Denali XL. He recently had a small front bumper disturbance in which the front bumper had dents that were pulled/popped out. This left him with, to me, looks like spider web cracks in the clear coat. Is there anything that can be done (without re-coat)...

    Nissan 350Z question

    I just picked up a 350Z last night - washed it, clayed it and started to experiment on the front end. I wanted to see how PB's Pro Polish would help in removing bugs. So I grabbed a MF and the PP, put a little dab on the MF and started rubbing away. When I was finished with the 6"x6" area, I...

    Best one step process

    I posted this here because I only have PB's products on my shelf. I am sure that each detail is going to be a little different from one another ie - how bad are swirls, oxidation. But here is the deal I did a black Pacifica a few weeks ago and knew I was not going to do a 2 step process ie SSR...

    calgary detail - riccardo clay?

    I am having some issues with the Riccardo clay. I store it in a zip lock baggie with clay lube coating it pretty well. The clay seems to fall apart while using, almost like Play-doh. I mean, it is very very soft and does not want to "hold" together. Am I storing it wrong? I store PB's clay the...

    Paint lines - see pics

    I am looking at a used 2008 Nissan Maxima and I have discovered the following markings/lines in the paint. I took Poorboy's PwC to it with a MF and nothing happened. It appears that these lines are under the paint. Any suggestions - maybe a repaint?
