    Help! Swirling One Wash after SMR w/PC???

    I just finished a full detail on my parents 97' Toyota RAV-4. It looked great after I washed with Dawn and used #9 with a PC and yellow pad, and then #26 over the top to seal off the finish. I just did this maybe two weekends ago and I washed it for the first time last night (it was a little...

    Scratches, Spiderwebs, and Rock Chips Oh My!

    So my brother buys a used 1993 Forest Green (I think metallic) Toyota Camry a few months ago. Well, this thing is in bad shape. Mechanically it's fine, but the paint is a disaster. Yesterday I started my restoration, and next week I will post the many pictures that I'm taking through each...
