I had the original GG DA for 12 years; It finally fell apart on me in the middle of polishing my new ride - luckily pulled away just before it hit the paint. Anyway, I bought the Chemical Guys TorqX after VERY short research figuring it had to be better than what I bought 12 years ago if nothing...

I recently moved and haven't yet located my box of polishes. I picked up a new ride that appears has been through a drive through car wash a few times - clear coat scratches fairly prevalent. I have an autozone up the street, so I'm looking for some recommendations on compounds/polishes that...

I'm planning to remove any Blackfire Crystal Seal that is left on my car to get ready to apply OptiCoat 2.0.   What is the best way to make sure it is all gone and the paint is prepped for the OC?  I will be using the Griott's Garage DAO and I have an orange pad (light cutting) as well as a...

I currently have BFCS on my car.  It was applied about 3 weeks ago.  I ordered the OC2.0 and want to apply it this weekend.  I was thinking I would:   wash clay Polish with LC Orange pad and either Blackfire polish or Meg's 105 followed by the Blackfire with a LC Red pad. 10% IPA wipe...

So the day after she picked up her dark metallic gray X1, I did the wash, clay, polish, blackfire crystal seal job to it.  About 2 months later, we had some bad weather for a week straight, so it obviously didn't get washed.  Then we went on a road trip to New Orleans in it, and it sat under a...

Bugs are bad in the south right now. The front end of my new Wrangler is covered in dead love bugs, etc. i have two layer of BFCS on the vehicle. If i spray a bug remover/degreaser on it and then lightly powerwash, will it strip the BFCS off?

Can the Blackfire Crystal Seal be used on the black fender flares on a Jeep Wrangler? I'm picking up my brand new 2013 on Friday, and want to get these sealed/protected right away. Want to make sure this stuff won't dull or fade them.

So apparently I need a little help here. I'm attempting to paint a set of Pro Comp 1069's that I've purchased for a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that I have on order. The wheels are brand new, and are "polished." I use " " because I don't know how or what they are finished with, but they are...

I am in the process of painting my mirrors body color. I had the side of the car covered. When I went to spray the mirror, there must have been somethin in the nozzle, b/c it sprayed everywhere. I now have little specs of paint all over my hood and fender. What can I use to get them off...

I'm looking for something to use on my dash and the surrounding plastic pieces to clean and protect without that shiny, slimy look and feel. I can't stand interiors that look like that. Any recommendations?

So I used my PC XP for the second time this weekend (first time on my ride - silver 06 4Runner). It looks great at almost every angle, in every light. However, in direct light, when standing at about a 30 degree angle and looking down th eside of the vehicle, I can see very faint circular...

My 4Runner has little etching marks in the glass of the side doors. Is there a proper way to maybe sand down and polish these out?

I just got a 7424XP, and I'm a newbie to machine polishing. I decided to go with the Edge pads. I used Poorboys World Pro Polish 2 w/ the green pad to have a slight cut. I used the 6th speed, and it seemed like the pad would stop with hardly any pressure, and it would just vibrate. In the...

Has anyone tried the Prima Hydro while washing with ONR or other rinseless formulas? It sounds like a good idea, I just don't know what the end result would be....

Is anyone using The Edge 2000 pads with their 7424XP? The look to be a very nice alternative to the backing plate/counterweight method.
