I'm also not a fan of aquapel. It does seem to improve the clarity of the glass and stay clean longer. But I expected it to improve visibility during rain, like Rain-X. It fails miserably at that ....

Does Solution Finish have dye in it? One of my vehicles has black trim but my Traverse has charcoal trim... And lots of it.

In one of the discussions I found it was pointed out that some of the...

I've always had good luck with this product but it's been many years since I've used it and my bottle has dried up.
Should I consider any other products? Any real advances to the state of the art?

Yeah I put this "system" together years ago when it was all the rage here & on YouTube and did all the recommended stuff that made it competitive with the brands that cost many X more.
Replaced the...

Well I read here about how great it worked at a bargain price :dunno:
I already replaced the backing plate (5" & 6") & also tried the Porter Cable DA. It performed identical.

Now I see new pads...

What am I doing wrong?
The Harbor Freight 6" foam pads have a 5" felt disk to attach the the Velcro backer. If I use a 5" backing pad the edge of the backer cuts into the bare foam surrounding the...

It was a beautiful day today so I was sprucing up my car before your reply Rsurfer.
I'm a woodworker and old fashioned tools for leveling the surface prior to final finish are a cabinet scraper and...

How risky is it to sand a repair to CC paint?

I'll keep your advice in mind to avoid using the applicators in the touch-up pen next time--but my question was how to correct the paint "snail...

I bought a used car from the "scratch & dent" section.
I recently got a touch-up paint pen to fill some of the more obvious scratches & chips.
This "pen" is the kind with a pointed scrubber tip,...

I'm on that forum. Not a word about lube or maintenance. It's why I'm here with you pros.

I have a 2010 Traverse I just bought. Thanks to the tough used car market right now I had to take a vehicle that has some issues.
I took it to a local detailer to see what he could do with the...

I'll give the Griot's pad a try since it has the 8 holes to match my sanding discs.

Thank you.

I want to replace the PSA backing pad on my PC 7334 with a 5-inch 8-hole hook & loop backer to match my other orbitals & stock of discs.
I've read they're not all the same but the product...

Thanks to all for the tips.
Hopefully it's a clear day Saturday so I can dry this thing out.

303 is pretty much the standard among boat folks but I wonder how Vinylex (from Lexol) compares? I've used it for years on classic car interiors but not sure how that translates to boats with their...

My youngest daughter just bought a 2009 Saturn Vue. Car looks very nice & looks to have been recently detailed (scrubbed carpet, paper floor mat on driver side...) but when I opened the door the...

Overcome by kerosene fumes?

Because the panels are removable I scrubbed them with an APC and water, with a good hose rinse. Twice.

There still a bit of smell remaining so maybe I'll try the...

I was transporting a kerosene space heater in my Explorer and the movement caused the fuel to overflow onto the carpet in the back of the truck. It mostly soaked in to the removable carpeted covers...

Today I was sitting in a waiting room with time to kill so I did some internet searching. These wheels aren't as rare as I thought and I found several wholesalers that had nice originals for under...

I've only tried acid-based wheel cleaner and high pressure wash. Barely made a dent.
These are chromed alloy with what looks to be argent-painted inner surfaces and are found on 01-03 Sevilles and...

Is Iron X paste strong enough to remove a thick build up? There's so much I can scratch it.
The only application I've read about was removing invisible particles from paint.

How did that work for you on clear - coated polished aluminum?

I would have thought this was fairly common and pros would have experience. Am I the only idiot to drive around with a grinding brake due to temps being too cold to do a brake job? I did try...

Car was driven for a couple weeks with one brake pad backing grinding against the rotor. Now i can't get the rust off. It Just laughed at wheel cleaner.

Is it hopeless?
