Hey guys, I was wondering how harmful degreaser is on paint? i went to the carwash today (Not for my car of course) and I saw them spraying degreaser on a rag and wiping down jambs... etc. How safe/not safe is this?

I know this seems like a dumb question, but I'm used to applying with an applicator... How exactly would I apply by hand? BTW, it's Dodo juice... So it's a paste wax obviously. Thanks!

This question has been egging me for some time.. I see people using green/blue tape to tape moldings etc.. But why those colors?

Hey guys, I was wondering what you guys prefer to buff with? I know wool, leaves more swirls, and is generally more aggressive... And foam makes the surface hotter, but which is easier? I've used wool before, never foam.

Hey guys, I was wondering what you guys use to knock it down with to make if flat as glass? 600 on a block, and reduction sand all the way up to 2k? Or would 1200 on block fully remove it to be flat, w/o sacrificing all the clear starting from 600? If this is confusing to understand, let me...
