I know this doesn't appl to this section, but this is the closest section I could find, since peple seem to post a lot about leather in here. I just bought a pair of uncoated leather work boots a week and and they already look pretty rough, since I work in a refinary. I want to clean them up...

Hey, i was just wondering how many of you all use PPE, like ear plugs, safety glasses. gloves, etc.? I never really cared to much about it myself until i started working in a plant. They are real big on PPE there, and i figured i could take it 1 step further and start protecting myself on...

I'm working with a set of black FR500 mustang wheels. They have a polished and CC'd lip. They have moderate to seveare clear coat overspray on them. I tried claying them a few months ago, but it just made what looked like marring all over them. I had to hand polish with 85rd to take it out. None...

From your experience what differences are there between s100 products and p21s products, namely s100 wheel gel and p21s wheel gel. I was at the local Harley dealership the other day and picked up some s100 wheel gel and s100 paintwork cleanser. I've read that s100 nuba and p21s nuba used to the...

This is a buddys car, so I did it for free. Limited time so I had to work with what i had. I did not do the wheels, tires or fender wells, the owner cleaned them while i was washing. The correction was def. not perfect at all. 70% at best, but I got all the oxidation off, so that's what matters...
