Years ago I stupidly left my atv dirty for months and the mud stains never really came off. The plastics and seat all cleaned up fine but none of the engine, hoses, exhaust and such will come clean. I’ve used Meguiar’s APC and Optimum Power Clean with no luck. I recently picked up some Optimum...

G/f never ever washes her car. I decided to do it today. It`s covered it tree sap that has probably been on the paint for 2 years. I tried Optimum Power Clean, Tar-X, and an IPA spray. The IPA made it a little sticky like it was breaking it down but really didn`t do much. Maybe if I warm it up...

On both my S3 and iPad, pictures embedded are cut off on the right side.

I took the 3 screws out of the UDM that backing plate screws into because it felt like it had a little bit of a wobble. As you can see below what was inside. It was kind of a chalking black powder.

I did a complete detail on my Buick a couple weekends ago...everything came out great except for the hubcaps. I let them soak a few times with OPC and scrubbed but they didn't come out too great. Is the plastic just stained or should I try some Sonax Full Effect Wheel cleaner? My...

Anything you would add or change? I'm going to pick up some Lowes GS tonight and a decent bucket(or 2) Menzerna Ultimate Detailing Machine Ultimate Shine Kit with FREE BONUS! Kit includes: Ultimate Detailing Machine UDM Canvas Storage Bag UDM 5 Inch Hook and Loop Backing Plate UDM...

Whats up everyone. I'm about to pull the trigger on a UDM/Menzerna kit. My daily driver 03 Grand Am is black and needs some attention and my 01 WS6 sits in the garage, but has never seen a polish, so I'm sure under some halogens it will look bad. And Friday after moving to our new house the...

How's this kit? Is there a different one I should go with? My DD black Grand Am has the usual swirls of a 5 year old car and I'd like to try and fix the paint. (and if I get good enough, make some side money) Will the amount of polish and the pads last a long time? I figured the FP and IP should...
