    Re: Gen IV Camaro Black Fire Transfdormation

    To be honest, I'm surprised it still had clear coat on it. Sitting in the sun in El Paso, TX usually takes it all off in a couple years. Surprised it has lasted 26 years!

    Great work. Nothing more rewarding than bringing one back to life.
  5. Re: Leather care - conditioner, sealant, coating or water?

    I use the Pinnacle as well. Works great, I think it provides a bit of softness/flexibility to the leather to help prevent cracking. Also, has that leather smell, keeping my vehicles with that new...

    Re: Best product to remove headliner stain?

    I've never tried Folex, maybe I need to give it a shot. I've always had great results with an orange citrus cleaner and then hit the stain with my steam cleaner and wipe with a clean microfiber. If...

    Sometimes it's almost impossible to get all the browning/blooming off a tire. Different brands are more difficult depending on how much antiozonant the manufacturer adds. I've scrubbed tires 3,...

    Re: 2002 HD Softail Deuce - Extreme Detail

    Amazing results. I haven't taken the time to go that extreme on my Harleys yet. I've done a 7-8 hour detail on the Ultra with great results, but really need to get after the nooks and crannies. ...

  15. Re: Black Plastic and Black Metal "Restorer"/Protectant ??

    I use Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant and have had great results. I've tried other products, love 303, but nothing I've found works as well on exterior plastic grills and fender flairs.

    I definitely spend time educating them. Even go as far as to tell them I'm wasting my time and their money if they keep going back to that carwash. I use it as an opportunity to upsell paint...

    Re: 4" Pad Recommendations

    Yeah, I'll get the new plate and try them out. I normally use 6.5" and 4" when doing cars. Motorcycles are pretty much exclusively 4" not too many times I would need a smaller pad with them. It's...
