    Re: how should I remove the gas stain

    You can try another AIO and see what it does... But I'd probably go to a straight polish since you already tried Klasse. That's really all you can do.

    If the polish doesn't remove the stain, then...

    Re: New Polisher to add to the arsenal

    Yes, to the second question. You won't know how it feels until you use it. Once you start using it you will learn its tendencies.

    I use Meguiar's Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer on my tires. Although it's the liquid version... I haven't tried the spray version, but I might one day.

    My vehicles (truck and motorcycles) don't...
  5. Re: Lint-free Microfiber Towel Recommendation? Does such a thing exist?

    I have found that every microfiber that I have used will lint to some extent. Some are worse than others, even within groups of the same type and brand of towels.

    PDR (Paintless Dent Repair)

    I've got who I believe to be the best PDR guy ever. He was recommended to me by my brother-in-law who uses him at his body shop. I've used him twice now and both times the results were absolutely as...
  7. Re: What's your definition for the cause of swirl marks?

    There are a lot of things (and ways) to cause swirls, but I don't think "paint shrinkage" is one of them.

    Think of it like this... The majority of paint shrinkage occurs in the hours and days...

    Re: Recommendations for oxidation remover

    Yep! That's what it sounds like to me too.

    While you can improve the appearance in the short-term, the failure process has already begun and whatever improvement you make will be limited by that...

  10. Re: product advice wanted for protecting a new Harley engine

    Typically, when it comes to fins, I'll polish the edges using a cotton glove on my hand (or hands) with a small amount of metal polish spread evenly across the palm and fingers of the glove. You have...

    Re: What color paint

    I agree with the metallic comment. When I said "black", solid black is what I meant.

    There are many variations of metallic blacks, but personally, I don't even consider those as "black"...

    Re: What color paint

    Black! No if's, and's, or but's about it.

    As far as hard vs. soft goes, generally speaking it's easier to remove defects from softer paint but it can be finicky getting to the final finish. Hard...
  15. Re: Best Quality OEM or Aftermarket Touch up Paint

    Generally speaking, there is no such thing as OEM touch-up paint. The paint you buy from the dealer is supplied to the OEM by a paint supplier such as PPG, Axalta, Glasurit, etc. These same paint...
  16. Re: Best Quality OEM or Aftermarket Touch up Paint

    Most paints specifically marketed as touch-up paint are acrylic lacquer. While lacquer has its benefits, primarily it is the fastest drying of paint types, that fast drying nature is also a curse....

    Re: Once a year compound/polish.

    My black Chevy Colorado gets Meguiar's 205 or 210 for routine polishing. While both are considered finishing polishes, the 205 is slightly more aggressive and will remove swirls faster than the 210....

    Re: Seeking Tips for Serious door ding

    While this is always an option, I'd go the PDR and paint touch-up method first. Doing so will retain the factory paint on the door and that is always my number one priority if possible.

    Are you sure that is the wheel that is damaged? Or is it just a chrome cover?

    I'm thinking it's a chrome cover. I know for certain GMC trucks utilize chrome covers and I would guess Chevy does the...
