So hopefully I can get these two to look as good as the one that was just delivered.

Hi everyone -

Not an auto paint question, but still clean/polish/protect related.

I have these awesome, highly-polished coach lights that have been outside for over a decade that seem to...

Thanks to the power of search, I found...

Looks like I'm finding my own answers. Enjoy :D

Per http://www.autopiaforums.com/Todd-Helme/polish-chart.jpg, I believe my answer is this: Use the WG FG first (white or black pad?) , THEN the...

So far, I've clayed the half of the hood I want to test, (PIC) and polished with P21S cleaner on a white pad and 3401 VRG (PIC). The water spots came out :xyxthumbs:with relative ease with the...

I washed it yesterday and let it air dry (hence water spots) and thought that I would be getting those water spots out with clay and light polish/burnishing.

To your point, I would have dried it...

Hey Geeks -

I want to jewel my paint. It's been swirl/scratch corrected last year and maintained by me very well. I want to raise the level of gloss on the BMW's black sapphire metallic paint...

I use DP RINSELESS WASH AND GLOSS and it is really great stuff. Two bucket method with grit guards in both, and soap in both. I go top down and divide the work into four to five sections, each...

Thanks for the link!!! I have not used M105 myself. I have a need to use either yellow or surbuf to remove deep scratches and water etching type 2 that the TSR and orange pad can't seem to resolve. I...

yes sir. There are a ton of posts proving that is true! How does TSR work with Surbuf? Would it be a waste of time due to diminishing abrasives or would it actually cut similar to M105?

Thanks

Practicing certainly helps and as time and experience will show you - the technique for one product/pad may not be the same for another product/pad combo. It could be, as others have mentioned, an...

I've used XMT 360 with LC CCS 5.5 pads with good results on autos that were already pretty "clean" WRT swirls.

Sure, I've read that and used the TSR and Orange several different ways with the PC7424Xp with zero results in water stain and scratch removal.

The whole purpose of this thread was to find out...

Yes I have done that too, but I personally can't say the results were awesome. Water etching and scratches did remain and I'm looking for a more aggressive combo.

Maybe I will buy some M105 and...

Given a surbuf pad and a pc 7424xp, would TSR and M105 be indifferent or would one have more correction capabilities?

Thanks

I've played with various amounts of DP xtreme foam wash and settled on an amount that produces a "sticking foam" that hangs on the vehicle for a while. IMO , the lambo foam was thin and watery. Maybe...

Agree and my prior reply was based on my own personal experience with using both 6.5" and 5.5" and the PC 7424XP. 5.5s work worlds better (with the PC) because they are thinner and they don't cause...

Rick - what machine are you planning on using with this? The PC 7424XP works better with the 5.5" pads. I'm actually looking to upgrade to the Flex 3401, which due to its forced rotation will work...

thanks Meghan... I am still getting a 503

Getting a "503" when using the search tool on autogeek.net....admins might want to check into that...

Peter

Did you fix the chips? Did you take any pics of the before/after of those repairs? I'm curious as I'm scheduling some time to work on my X5 and it has rock chips all over the front of the hood. To...

Throwing my name in the hat!

Can you explain further? I'm not getting what you mean....




I'm a newb at this - not getting what you mean....can you explain?

Ok, so the vehicle is back from the airport and had a chance to snap some pictures. I've identified something I noticed using black tick marks. The change in shade during the sanding process was the...

Based off of a recommendation by my BMW dealer, the stuff works well at cleaning factory rims.

Now while I like the idea of not running out of wheel cleaner for the summer, and that my rims would...
