    Older Ford paint... issues

    I'm doing a truck right now for a family member, it's a 97 Ford ranger... the paint seems to be quite hard on the truck. I'm using megs 105 on a megs red pad which is the heaviest cutting combo that I have. The oxidation is cleaning up ok, but there are still some pretty deep scratches in the...

    Applying coatings with polyester cloth?

    I found a cloth that was in my towels and it's soft and seem like it would work well for applying a coating, does it matter if it's polyester though?

    Menzerna SIP on megs yellow pad followed by SF on blue, or something inbetween?

    I'm doing my new VW and I've never worked with this paint (though so far it seems to come out pretty nice with just the SIP. However, to really get that jeweled look, is SF on a blue pad be ok? It's a 4500 grit which isn't much to the SIP's 1500 grit. Maybe there is something inbetween I should...

    22 PLE shelf life?

    I bought some and had put it on my last car, so it's 6-8 months old... maybe a bit more. However, it's been kept inside, the top was taped with scotch tape to seal any air out. It looks just like when I got it. I'm wondering if it hasn't hardened, then I'm assuming it's ok? Any ideas?

    Collinite Fleet Wax vs. Powerlock

    Ok, I know a lot of people are down on powerlock because it's not a real menzerna product or whatever the deal is. I will give my impressions. I picked up some Fleet wax at a local boat store, not a bad price for it and I know it's a lasting wax and durable. In fairness I just put this on my...

    What wax and/or sealant is the most resistant to harsh chemicals?

    There's been many tests off products on waxes and which ones last longer, look better, etc. What about chemical resistance though? Most town water these days is treated with a lot of chemicals such as chlorine as well as acid rain that such. Which wax or sealant is most resistant to these things...

    If you had to pick one car company

    Who would you say has the best quality paint? "I would pick_______ because of little to no orange peel from the factory, finishes great and looks top notch". Of course some of the more expensive cars might do well, but if you had to pick a 20 to say 45k car, which do you choose and why?

    Black wow on fender wells?

    I had bought a small 2oz bottle of black wow from Phil and was going to use it on a CTS-V I had done, the owner wasn't to worried about it so I never used it. My car is only 1 year old so the fender wells aren't at all worn out or anything, but if I use the black wow on them would it last long...

    How would I find out my PPI level?

    Town water here... it's horrible, can't even wash my car at my own house due to how bad spotting is. How would I find out the PPI level and is there a level considered unsafe for people/animals? I've heard of some dogs here (including one of my own) with kidney failure.

    Will OS have any problem sticking to DG105?

    I know a lot of directions say to do an IPA wipedown and such before using OS, but i'm just wondering if I can use it over DG105?

    Metropolitan detail

    I tried to order 3 of your towel, when I went to the cart it was adding nano skin or whatever is was which I never added, when cleared out the cart and started it was defaulting at 10 towels, no matter what I did to remove them, it was still adding 10 towels. After I tried it for about 20...

    Softest applicator pad for waxes/sealants?

    I've got some of the red CCS pads... they feel pretty soft, but is there a better one out there? What do you all like to use?

    Hand waxing? Like using hands?

    I'm curious if anyone does this? I happened to catch a video of it on youtube one day and I just got to wondering if anyone does it... what would be the benefit over using a good applicator pad?

    Would anyone be interested in seeing...

    How hardened 22PLE would scratch to show it's hardness level? I have no way of measuring and sort of coating thickness or anything, but the pad is quite hard. More so than the OC ever got, which I don't quite understand why. I guess different chemicals, but either way. If anyone is and would...
