Thanks man, these cars oddly enough are one if the rarest BMW models around, and are certainly uncommon to see. My intentions are too keep it stock aside from lowering it a bit, and maybe some...
Recently purchased this lovely automobile, and finally got around to giving her the spa treatment. Nothing intensive, just a thorough wash and wax, which was a true pleasure to do.
Thanks fellas, I am going to give it another shot when I have some better lighting the garage. I probably should have chosen to do my test spot on a fender, as the hood would have been an easier...
Hello guys, I gave my Buff and Shine microfiber pads a go today with the Porter Cable on my Black BMW. It was a brief trial, and I can't say it was a success, but I will work at it until I get it...
Good to hear the microfiber worked out for you. It sounds like you used them the same as a foam pad, just slightly less OPM. What compound/polishes were you working with?
Thanks Evan, I watched that video earlier, I just wish they hadn't edited most of the polishing process out of the video. Even though they noted that he used a slow arm speed, from what I saw, it...
Hello all, I recently purchased a set of microfiber cutting and finishing pads, and I am interested in hearing from those you have experience with them using the PC. Most of what I have seen has been...
Thank you Nick, that is my next step, hopefully it pulls out the gloss. When used with a grey finishing pad, is the Carnuba glaze worked like normal polish or do I use minimal pressure and a faster...
Thanks Shane, I think I may have just run into this same problem yesterday on my brothers 2000 Black CLK. I used an orange pad/XMT #2 followed by a white pad and XMT 360. Still being new with the...
Thanks guys, I took another shot at it today on my brother Black 2000 CLK430 which had a lot of scratches and swirling. I combined all the suggestions from this thread and the results were much...
That is what I gathered from some research, but after 8 section passes, there is still some product visible. I am using an X on the pad, and working on an 18"x18" area. Could it be that the pad is...
Yes, they would appear to be RIDS, but they seem so fine, only slightly deeper than the swirls. The water spot etching is still there as well, some of them blotches, others small droplet size. I...
Yeah, I had thought about that as well. I have heard that you are supposed to polish the XMT until it is gone, but it never seemed to completely go away. I am using a thin X across the pad and...
I recently began doing some minor corrections on my black sapphire BMW, however the results are less than expected. The car had light swirling, water spot etching, and random scratches here and...
Thanks guys, the film came off very easily in large sheets, however there are a few streaks of residue which will not come off. There are no pieces left over, just traces of adhesive residue. I doubt...
Hello, I recently removed the clear bra from the front of my car, and I was not able to remove all of the adhesive residue. I used 3M adhesive remover, however there is a section on the hood which I...
Now we are on to something. Keep us updated. Tomorrow I am going to use 10 gallons from my cousins RODI system for his fish tank. The Karcher units draw right from the bucket, so it should be enough...
What about using an RODI system that many use for their fish tanks, and storing the water in a container? My pressure washer is able to draw from a container without pressure, and just a rinse...
I am curious about this too. I recently purchased the K5.740 X series, and need the fitting to connect the MTM cannon. Can anyone confirm what fitting is needed?
