    Painters and Overspray.

    I just got home from winter break and after two weeks of solid rain was itching to wash the car, and after i did, i noticed that the car was covered in little white dots, paint, window, trim, everywhere.

    CMA Gray finishing Pad + Blitz= :)

    Just received my refills of my assorted pads but this time i bought a cma gray finishing pad, it says to use it with a liquid wax but i gave the blitz a try anyway. I wiped it on sort of willy nilly all over the car, and used my PC on speed 1 to spread the blitz around. I really liked the way...

    Meguires Gold Class Dash and Trim Foam: A+

    This is probably the best dash protectant ive ever used. The fact that is was a foam made it very easy to control and apply, i just squeezed a ball of it on the dash and spread it evenly over the entire dash surface, with one of meguires wax application pads and it works into the dash very...
