  1. Re: HELP! Used Bug & Tar Remover, now milky stains.

    I have Meguire's D114 waterless wash. Would you say this is okay to use?

    Would it be an bad idea to use D114 with magic eraser?

    Haha. It's okay. What your referring to is Ducati's signature trellis frame. They incorporate the trellis into the aesthetics of the bike. Most manufactures used to hide their boxy frame as it wasn't...

    Re: Curbed my wheel. Help?

    So I should try least aggressive method first? Is Scratch X a good first step? If not, what's a good product that's over the counter?

    Re: Curbed my wheel. Help?

    If I try something like Meguiars Scratch X 2.0 by hand, would it do more damage than good?

    I would like to try to fix it before taking it to a pro.

    I was going through the Dunkin Donuts drive through and I curbed my wheel while exiting. It wasn't really hard but the concrete curb left it's mark. It feels like it's "above surface" when I run my...

    Re: Unusual "issue" - White paint

    Odd question, I know.

    Well there are LSPs that specifically target white and black paint. So I thought maybe there is something out there that will provide what I want.

    This is an unusual issue. I have a VW GTI in Pure White. It's the brightest white paint I've ever seen. When it's day time out the paint pops so much that it actually doesn't look very good and kinda...

    Re: D114 dilution ratio - please confirm.

    I did a rinseless wash this weekend and I think it worked pretty well. It took me almost 1.5 hours.

    I did the 2 bucket method. Scratching is my biggest fear. Should I be using the wash mitt...

    I had the same services done minus sealant as RBMW and paid less than that, and we're in the same area but I went somewhere different. My car had about 1000 miles.

    Re: New BMW Swirls on B Pillars

    I think most if not all B-Pillars that are painted black plastic are prone to swirls like those. My current VW has it, my last VW has it too. My car is new and I noticed it right away. I've only...

    Re: Hello from MA

    Hi RBMW. I'm in Quincy and into bikes as well. I do a couple track days a year. Absolutely love it. We might have crossed paths at one point.

    Where you from?

    Re: D114 dilution ratio - please confirm.

    Gotcha.

    I guess what I am having trouble understanding is that if there is old LSP on their, the bond between the old LSP to the paint is probably weaker, therefore easier to "flake" off. If I...

    Re: D114 dilution ratio - please confirm.

    Just caught this. Do you mean that because I put Ultimate Quik Wax on after a wash, I'm not really putting the same type of LSP on when I apply 476S, hense I need to strip all LSP off?
