For those of you who have worked on vehicles with clear bra's, did you have any luck polishing out defects and if so what products and procedure did you use? I have a car to detail next week and the clear bra was all over the front and the rear of the vehicle and it was all swirled up from...

I have not been detailing since winter and am just in the process of getting some 105 & 205 to try out. I have not had time to visit this site for a while as well and I am reading about the KBM using these products. My arsenal in the past has been Menzerna PG, SIP, 106ff or maybe Meguiars...

Anyone use this...crystal clear 2k chip guard Looks like a spray on guard. It came recommended over the 3M clear bra.

Can you give me some ideas/products to use to remove the wheel weight adhesive from the inside of the wheels? Nothing I have tried has worked-this stuff is tough and thick.

I was wondering what tools or brushes you guys use for the wheel wells. I am never satisfied and when I do a wheel well I tend to just use the stiff nylon bristle brush I use for the tires but I always tear up my knuckels getting the brush in and out of there plus I cannot get a good scrub with...

Anyone ever heard or try Wheel Shield? Car care products for wheels- Wheel Shield

I have someone with a Cobra kit car-fiberglass blue with white stripes. I have heard it is pretty swirled and I was planning to try SIP and 106ff for the polishing, but I have not worked on a full fiberglass car yet and was wondering if there was any special precautions I should use? Also...

I have seen posts where guys have used their auto polishing equipment on appliances, but what about furniture. My friend has a coffee table and the surface is painted like a piano, but it is all swirled up from wear and tear. I was thinking about taking my pc to it or even trying a final...

Did a car today which probably never had been detailed. I am sure the tar on the lower panels had been there for years. I tried clay, Bug & Tar Remover and elblow grease. Some came off but not enough. Any suggestions? Thanks.

What product do you use for wiper arms-I have never been satisfied with what I have tried.

OK, what do you guys charge your relatives-do you cut them a discount? Mom and dad get free details, but what about the sister in law's mother, people like that who are not immediate family but you are going to see them around the holidays. I do not want to do it for free since I work hard. I...

I had a detail this past weekend on a black Mercedes with some deep scratches and marring. I reached for PG and my yellow Lake country cutting pad on the rotary. I made 4-5 passes in some areas with so/so results. I decided to error on the side of caution after that and hit the area with...

Can you color sand powder coated parts? If so is there any special techniques? I have a glove box door in gloss black and the orange peel is crazy!

What do you follow up with after OHC on a lake Country Orange Pad? I do not have OC, just OP, FP, Meg #80. I tried OP and FP with a white pad but it did not remove the micromarring left by OHC. I usually finish with 106ff and a finishing pad so I am looking for something in the middle between...
