My 2 cents... most of the problem is probably using strong acidic cleaners on the tires all of the time. Tires have carbon black added to them to help protect against the elements. When this is...
I installed a polycarbonate windshield and I think fingerprints appear when if not touched. Does anyone know of a good oleophobic coating that can be applied to glass or plastic that really works at...
Every used a citric cleaner? Think about what fruit does to you. Truth is, your body can _easily_ handle both. On a scale of 0-7, battery acid is at 0 and stomach acid is at 1. The caustic part of...
I'm looking for a product to use on anodized aluminum (in my case, black). Something that is known not to leave any residue that can be seen and preferably a spray. So far the only thing I've found...
In both cases, very experienced people working with a rotary. For a new person, it is _VERY_ easy to burn through paint doing this. I highly recommend against it.
The are the same. The ones I use perform exactly like the regular nitrile ones. Too each their own but I keep thinking about the number of disposable gloves being used and that it takes 100+ years...
Anyone have a good current source for biodegradable gloves? Last time I paid about $13 for 100 large and now they seem to be around $25 for 100. I was using the Showa brand, which were good.
I have to say... that was some _really_ good information in your post. I don't know when you have not given honest and fair information and this is no different (keep in mind, that was a double...
I've used Solution Finish on some plastic trip and even the flares on my F150 which are 9 years old. It looks good... for about 3 months and then it is right back to faded out. I bought some Cerakote...
I have a Flex 3401 but I think the smallest backing plate I have is 4". I also have a long throw polisher but that would not work either. I thought I was generating too much heat when the polish...
First time polishing plastic parts. In this case I started with the fender which were small so I broke out my Flex PE-8 with a 3" microfiber pad. This did not work well and the polish seem to dry...
I use 303 on the interior and exterior plastics. When the plastic has a texture, I put on a rubber glove and either spray the trim or the glove. I then rub the 303 "into" the plastic. I leave it on...
3,000 was what oil change places started to tell people. I'll let you wonder why. Here is how often you should change your oil.. open your owners manual and see what the people say who made the...
First, when they started using synthetic materials. Second, the problem was never the filter. The limitation was that the oil broke down and then that the detergents wore out. With modern synth oil,...
I'd recommend _not_ washing MF towels in hot water. While some will claim this water is not hot enough to affect MF, I would disagree. If nothing else, it will slowly deteriorate the towel. Modern...
You are better off taking care of the paint and keeping a good sealant on it. Or correcting the paint, putting a ceramic coating on and then taking care of it.
AG did ship my pads yesterday so that is good. I might still order some larger pads and cut them down. I'm wondering if I might be able to find some circular metal device that would work as a punch...
Anyone have experience with cutting out or punching out larger pads to make smaller ones? mainly I'm looking at microfiber pads. I know there is a punch that is sold to do this but I recently ordered...
