You know - I haven't considered the idea that there could be dip tobacco in the car. I am 100% certain that there is no butts or ash in the car unless it's under the carpet somehow. I'm not sure how...
Hey All, I recently bought a 2018 4runner used that was smoked in for 6 months. I can't quite kick the cigarette smell and am looking for any advice here. Here is what I have done so far:
-Vacuumed...
So I have a general question about auto body repair that I am hoping some experts on here can help with. I have a 2000 Lexus ES300 that is Pearl White. Over Thanksgiving I had a slight run...
Sorry this question isn't necessarily directly related to detailing but I thought that there would be a lot of people here who would have experience with this question. So I am looking at...
In efforts to remove a key scratch on my old beater honda civic I accidentally sanded through the clear and paint on a small spot (a little smaller than a dime) I don't care about it that...
I tried searching on this topic but did not find anything. I was wondering if the vibrations from DAs ever damage the paint on your car? I am thinking more like in the middle of large...
I may look into seeing if a local body shop can hit it with their paint gauge. Sounds like it is most likely nothing to worry about - also sounds like there really isn't much I can do about it...
Tonight I went over the paint looking very closely at the surface with a number of different light sources - LEDS, flashlights, lamps etc. It does seem to be something in the pearl part of the paint...
the surface is very uniform so I am guessing if it is a repair they most likely sprayed the whole panel. I kind of doubt it is a spot repair - I could see them doing it on the hood but I doubt that...
Hmmm, I don't but could prob find one to use. It is strange that they are all circular in shape as well - That is what made me think bird dropping or something that fell on the car.
Yeah, I already clayed the car good - The surface is very clean smooth. I was thinking maybe the wax was just really crappy and uneven but cleaning the spot with IPA didn't change it either.
I guess it would be the beginning of clear coat failure but keep in mind that it is only visible under certain light and certain angles. 90% of the time it looks perfectly uniform.
The car is relatively new to me it is a 2000 Lexus ES300 with 60k miles. It has been garaged it's whole life and well cared for. I cannot attest to whether or not a bird dropping sat there for...
I have been trying to find the answer to this but can't seem to find anyone who knows what this is hopefully the experts here can help. I sported five of these little "spots" two on the...
Ok I have added these photos to help point out what I am talking about. I am hoping someone can give some more insight in case this is something I am doing, I don't want to damage it more. Or if they...
This is what I thought it was at first but other than the very specific reflection tone difference there it is 100% consistent (tone and pearl effect). Usually it is much easier to tell!
