    "Pure" paint cleaners

    Last weekend I worked on my car but (of course) was not able to complete all polishing steps, much less put protection on. By this weekend paint has been contaminated with all the polution morning mist brings down (car is parked outside). So, I will have to clean that up before I go for next...

    Anything better & stronger than Brinkmann MaxFire Dual Xenon?

    Well, my eyes are not what they used to be. Or MaxFire is not strong enough to easily reveal swirls to those of us that don't have best trained eye, especially when used outside. Or both. In any case, are you aware of anything (easily portable) that would be even better / "stronger" in...

    Meguiar's MF mitt vs. Vroom Micro-Chenille Mitt?

    I have in front of me one of each. I haven't used either one yet but for some reason Vroom one seems much softer to me. Did anybody use both and what is your experience with them, one vs. other, pros and cons?

    When Power Gloss on cutting pad is not cutting it ...

    Today I tried to address some horrible scratches on black Supra. They were on the driver side all going in same direction resembling kind of swirls one would get from either a rotating wash or brush with wire edges exposed. I have started by trying to use totary (Metabo PE12-175) at 1500rpm...

    Holly BF SRC FP and GEP Batman!!!

    This Sunday I worked on red SS '91 Toyota Supra. To make it short it wasn't fun. I started from least abrasive setup working upwards but that paint was laughing back at my face all the way till I started using Meguiar's Medium Cut and orange LC low profile 5.5" pad. That showed start of some...

    Opinions on (ultra?) thin pads

    I am contemplating purchasing some 5.25" CCS pads from Danase. Today I became aware they are 0.75" "thick" which makes them thinnest pads I know of (not that I know of many pads). What would be your opinion on using pads this thin? What thin(ner) pad results in? What would be pros? What would...

    If it can't be corrected with PC and orange/yellow should I skip the Cyclo ...

    ... and go straight to rotary? In other words, if I have all three tools when I would want to try Cyclo and not just go straight to rotary? Reason I am asking is I am trying to minimize spending on pads, eliminate overlaps. I wonder do I need yellow/orange for Cyclo, should I use just...

    Very disappointed with Meguiar's M39 and M40 vinyl cleaners

    I am very disappointed with look of surface M39 and M40 left when I tried to use them on "leather" seats in my Toyota MR2 Spyder.

    Wet Sanding: Plain water, or water + "soap"?

    As the title say, how wet sanding is done, with water and lubricant ("soap") or it is done with plain water? I am asking because I've "heard" of people using water and soap, and at the same time as I am looking at Wet Wedge (that I am considering getting) videos I see everybody is using just...
