Meguiar’s Ultimate All Wheel Cleaner and a decent turbo nozzle will usually get ya 90+% of the way there. For the rest, chucking the right detailing brush into a 1/2” cordless drill makes it go...

Everyone has skipped an important piece of information…

Is this OEM paint or has the hood been resprayed at some point? When I see this level of degradation it is almost always due to a low...

I had to deal with year old dried concrete once. Figured concrete is alkaline, so I used the only acid I had on hand - the red Meguiar’s Chrome Wheel Cleaner. Wasn’t a fun process but definitely got...

Dude, you are my sort of people! I wipe my air/water/pressurewasher flexzilla hoses down with M40 and it does ok, but I’ll give them a proper cleaning via this method soon. Great post!

I've tried everything there is and I do this 10+ hours a day... Meguiar's M110 and M210 are my go-to 95% of the time and I keep a bottle of M101 close by for the extra hard stuff. With M110 and 210...

Eldorado2k that blue and silver Orbit one is even better than the red and black one you have. I have both. Use one at work and one at home.

Yeah, the strain relief inside the machine is too tight and pinches the cord. If you're proficient with some wire strippers and don't mind making your cord 4" shorter it's an easy fix.

Have you replaced the brushes since you've owned it?

You definitely don't want to compound or polish over them. Tape them off. Come time for an LSP, I've had success using Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax over the OEM matte Dodge decals/stripes (among...

I've been having fun with the new 8k Trizact discs too! Had a newer black VW with some hammered paint that was as hard as nails. I was reaching for the M101 and a PFW pad when my 3m rep walked in...

The big issue is wattage. Once you step up to 220V models you get some serious power.

I've got 2 25' Flexzilla hoses on my 2000PSI Ryobi (a 1/4 and a 3/8). Both are a huge upgrade. The 3/8 loses a little pressure but flows more water so I like it better for washing cars with.

I see that you've tried some very alkaline products (which would remove an acid based material). Try an acidic product just in case the black stuff is alkaline in nature. I ran into this once when...

I don't offer a 1-step, but there have been two cars lately that I got absolutely flawless with just D166. I knocked $75 off for each of those customers which landed them at $325 ($400 is my small,...

I do a good many boats, I price them at $30/ft to correct all the gelcoat surfaces. $35/ft if the boat is black. The important thing to a complete and lasting gelcoat correction is to abrade away...

With only a DA, wetsand (dampsand). If there is much oxidation at all you're just going to gum up pads like crazy and take forever with a DA. I usually use 3m Trizact discs. Start with 1000, then...

If you're okay with doing one side at a time and jack stands underneath the vehicle, my method works great. I use the factory scissor jack that came with my MDX, but rather than turning it by hand,...

You can actually polish them just like paint (although you'll want to be conservative with your product/pad selection). The black that you see is likely just pulling off of the rubber seals that run...

I do great at car shows, usually without even being there. All I do are full paint corrections, and I leave a few cards with each customer. If I know someone is going to a car show I ask if they'll...
