I pulled a total barney maneuver and put some full-thickness scrapes in my Llumar window tint. Soooo, I need to get the panel re-done I guess... Who should I go to? I need exact matches of course....I live in Los Angeles. I did some web searches but werent too helpful. Later, JS

Well, I recently spilled a little coffee on one of my fabric seats. It is now about 2.5hours later and I was able to dab it up partially. What do you recommend for the next step. I read in the articles that dish soap and others are a good help. BUT, I wanted to know what you guys do for coffee...

Yep, I havent posted here in quite a while. You guys have gotten me through the worst of a horrible detailing incident, now I was wondering if you could help out w/ a new problem: A few small dents. Basically what happened was, my girlfriend opened the hatch of my jeep right into the...

Ive sorta posted the same question in other threads. So, sorry if I offend anyone! But does anyone know the difference b/w 3M and stuff like 'goo gone' and products like that?

Ive searched far and wide and all I could find at NAPA was a large 3M tar and bug remover in liquid form. Is that the same stuff as the aerosol form?? Oh and to get back to the original question...How can I be sure all of it is gone? On certain areas that I know have not been waxed...ever...

I just put some on an inconspicuous area and now I have more questions?? 1. The material is really soft! I can dent it w/ a fingernail. Will this harden up?? 2. I found that the teflon squeegee scratches the XPEL, did you guys get the micro scratches??? That seems kinda bogus if that is the...

Since its free shipping I thought I might try to capitalize on it. The prices probably come out to be the same but its SO worth it...driving in LA takes just as long as snail mail!!! Which products are okay to get---windows,engine cleaners, tire protectant...etc Thanks JTS

Does anyone know?? OR where I can get a similar product?

I just realized, way back when my Jeep got attacked by the detailer, I saw that he used Lime Away to tackle the water spots. The water spots were the only reason I went there. Anyway, on the bottle there is no mention of abrasives, and I beleive that it is just a strong acid... Anyone? JTS

Is there a one stop shop somewhere in LA, where I can get most of my supplies. It seems like most of the auto shops(kragen,autozone etc..) are pretty weak. Thanks JTS

Im going to put on that xpel stuff soon and need to know what else I can use. They recommended 3M adhesive remover but what else can I use?? BUT...most importantly,it needs to be a sure thing(removal, that is) or the xpel wont stick!!! I know people are going to say use dawn, but what else...

I ran over a couple drops of water when I was putting on the Z5. Should I wipe it off and start over?? Or just wait longer before wiping away?? Seems like some moisture will stay underneath... JTS Umm, when I say 'ran' over, I mean that there were some drops of water on the finish and the...

1. Was the squeegee they sent you a blue teflon coated one OR a white one?? 2. What sort of paint defects did u have before applying the adhesive?? Did you fix chips and scratches?? I have a couple small chips in the finish and one fine scratch...

I tried to access that also but it seems to be gone. I want to knockout a couple scratches on my rear bumper...

In my quest to find info on small chips, the searches I did kept on referring to the paint repair tips section...umm where is that section?? Also where do I get the 2000-2500 grit paper to sand down the blob of touch up Im putting on??
