How bad are we talking? I'm sure some people will cringe when I say this, but try a mr.clean magic eraser soaked in diluted car wash soap. Use very light pressure and plenty of liquid to act as a...
My personal preference is using both the small and large speed master brushes along with the long handled version of that mothers brush you posted and one of my boars hair brushes for the lug nut...
They're generally referred to as machined face wheels. The whole wheel is painted or powder coated the color of the pockets(gray, black, silver, whatever) then the wheel is put on a cnc lathe and a...
Oh nice haha. For me that picture could go either way. I've been trying out the D156 along with some of the other megs detailer line of products. Very impressed with them so far. Great products for...
I've been using D156 as a drying aid for a few washes, so far I like it, works well and doesn't leave any residue on plastic and rubber trim. Sorry to hear that it may...
Those F150 wheels are clear coated polished aluminum, not chrome. 99% of the polished aluminum clear coated OEM wheels I deal with look slightly hazy, they aren't intended to have a mirror finish...
AYoh, what you have there is a very interesting case. The clear coat on your wheels has been chemically damaged on the surface, however it appears to be completely intact otherwise. It would be...
Brushes used for auto detailing (to me at least) are like brushes for painting. Everyone is going to have their own preference. I don't know of any all encompassing kit, but there is one that AG put...
My suggestion would be to use a solvent based (preferably containing mineral spirits) wax and grease remover product such as Prep-All(comes in a green and red gallon can). It's a body shop type of...
Inclined to think you got lucky(or unlucky depending on how you want to look at it). Like everyone else I don't have any problems with mine; other than the on off switch which is more of a personal...
If it's been 7 months then congrats :) all is well. The above items I mentioned wouldn't last more than a few weeks, if that. Nice to know there are a few out there that haven't been hacked up by...
Wipe the car down with an ipa solution or carpro eraser to remove any oils and fillers. It's very common practice for dealerships to apply a paint glaze with a ton of fillers (automagic bc2 is a...
Both of my flex rotary machines are very quiet (in my opinion at least). Referencing the manuals they are both rated at 80dB. To me, my PC7424 seems noticeably louder which I find odd if it's rated...
Originally saw your post on AZ. This is just bizarre. It looks like you're peeling plasti-dip off of your seats. The seats must have been dyed and the sprayed on dye is what you're peeling off. If...
I doubt you'll find anything good at HD or HFT. The quality of the buffing wheels and rouge makes a big difference. We use these guys Metal Polishing Supplies, Buffing Supplies & Metal Finishing...
Have the current wheels powder coated "super chrome." That should fit the bill for what you're after. It's just a more reflective version of hyper silver/argentum.
Well, they won't ever look like chrome, unless you actually have them chromed, but you can get a mirror shine without too much fuss. Sand out to 600 grit, then brown rouge with a yellow wheel,...
The daytona is a nice brush to have on hand. I would recommend it, as well as a couple boars hair brushes from solo horton. If you own a full set of woolies, a daytona, and a few solo's, you'll be...
Are the exterior panels in question fiberglass or metal? If they are metal, you're not dealing with gel coat; you're dealing with paint that is most likely extremely thin.
Car looks awesome with the brand new factory wheels. That was definitely the right move. I didn't even notice it was a two year old thread that no one responded to initially. Lol
