Gentlemen, I've got a new customer with a late model BMW (most likely 2003). I have no pictures of the damage, but am curious if I may get a few suggestions regardless. What APPEARS to have happened is that a coke can or coffe cup was sloshed. Some of the liquid got on the side, and...

Can anyone tell me why use one over the other for QD needs? The Last Touch stuff is ~$20/gal and the Final Inspection is ~$25/gal. SEEMINGLY the same TYPE of product. I've been using a LOT of Final Inspection, but may move to Last Touch and save some $$'s unless I can expect an optical...

I'm about to use wool pads for the first time. Tool: DeWalt 849 rotary. My test piece (hood off wrecked truck) is single stage paint. I have a single stage met green painted hood to practice with and a RED track car (also with single stage paint)to actually buff. My question is this...
