I have the 6" DA Polisher and my dad was wondering if he could borrow it to sand our flooring. Is it possible to do as such? If yes, is there a compatible backing plate + sander available to bought...

I think this would be a bra. The design on the car has this thin extra layer on the lower edge of the rear passenger door.

I'm confused myself too with what you have just written. :doh:

What do you mean by "bra"?:confused:

You have a point there when it comes to pictures and it's different when you see it in-person, however, this image is actually rather close to what it looks like right now.



I'm not sure if...

I do know how to resize and all. I just thought that the forum itself has its own photo editing tool. But yah thanks, I was able to upload my pics after resizing them.

Why do you say that pearl harder to blend than metallic? I have pearl and I actually have that problem right now:...

So some of the clear coat and paint were peeling on the lower side of one of the doors due to rock chips. I did the following steps to correct it:

1) Wash, Clay & Dry
2) Prep the surface by...

How do you resize?

I haven't been successfully uploading 4 pictures in the Members Gallery. I've tried several times and it doesn't seem to work. The uploading process tells me that my photos have been uploaded...

Thanks. What's a PTG btw?

If I still have a visible scratch then can't be corrected with a 1000 grit, is it safe to go lower than that? Or is it true that anything below 1000 can cut through the clearcoat, which obviously...

Yes you're right! I meant hard plastic. It's a textured hard plastic. Are you saying that all I need to do is heat it up and it will correct by itself?

If possible, I would like virtually attend both 101 & 102. I'm currently working on my Forester and would like to learn more to refine my techniques as I work on my project. Pick me!

Thanks!

I have the #7 and I was wondering if I can use a DA Polisher to apply it?

seems like a rather intricate process than i have expected. i'll probably just end up leaving this one alone...oh well.

I have a scratch on my glove compartment panel and would like to correct it. I don't know if I can still restore it to its original form but at least reduce the visible defect on it as much as...

Yes Shelby, that's me. Nice suggestions there but I'll take my chances here in NYC. Besides, my work is here in the city, I won't be able to afford auto detailing if it wasn't for this. :)

I...

Where do these stains usually come from? I would understand if the affected area is near a possible source of chemical leak or something, but mine is on the roof, I don't understand what caused...

I would like to seek some help with these defects that I noticed on my car. Thanks!

What do you call this paint defect? It's on my roof near the antenna? How do you correct this?
...

Thanks for the tip! I've seen that chart before actually and I used it as a guide to determine the polishes that I would be purchasing. I wish there's a chart also that has some sort of matching...

Yes! Now this is the kind of opinion I was hoping to see. Thanks SeaJay!

I'm aware of its cutting ability (I think it scores around 4 based on its packaging). I don't have the Menzerna...

I get the idea of test spotting and working in small areas at a time, say 2x2. In fact, that's actually how I'm going to be working on my car.

The part which I wish to clarify was, would it be...

My original plan was to do this after washing and claying:
1) Use #105 on sections where there are heavy scratches and paint transfer. The ones that are very visible.
2) Finish that section with...

I'm aware of these general steps, however, in terms of using Megs 205, do I need to polish the entire car or only the ones with the light scratches and swirls?

Oh so that means it's only sectional then where correction is needed. I thought I needed to polish the entire car before moving on to the next step. If that's the case, what would be next step?...
