i got a dent in the drivers fender and i have no clue where it came from but it looks like the clear coat is starting to pull away from the base coat. do you think this will need to be repainted. i got a quote from a shop for 550 for dent removal and repaint. seems a little high if you ask me...

i like to take my time in washing and drying my car so i dont scratch the paint but even when im working in the shade, i still get water spots by the time im finished. now aio takes them out easily but then it also takes my souveran off too. ive tryed qd's like zaino and poorboys s&w but some of...

i have a brand new 2005 bmw jet black m3 which has very soft paint. now i do not want any swirl marks at all so i am taking all the precautions possibly but i cant take 3 hours to wash my car 3 times a week either so how does this process sound? 1) spray down vehicle to remove as much dirt as...

i was wondering how many times you could safely detail a whole car by pc with medium abrasive products like ssr 2.5 or megs dacp without significant clear coat reduction. on some cars, this is the only thing that works on light swirls so i find myself using lots of coats on it and do not want to...
