Someone egged my car while it was parked on the street. Luckily I caught it in time and washed the egg off, but the shell cratered the paint. Will wet sanding do anything or should I try to fill the voids with touch up paint and then wet sand? Please help! FYI- I tried a medium abrasive...

What do I do? I just purchased a used BMW 740iL that is in great shape, but needs a good wash, clay, cleaning, and Klasse treatment. The only problem is that our city has banned car washing because of a moderate drought. Any suggestions?

Im have a few minor scratches in my windshield from the previous owner who must have turned on the wipers without any fluid. Any recommendations on how to get these out with out causing further damage. Would Finesse It and my PC work?

Just bought a pre-owned Lexus LS 400 with Pearlescent White and was looking forward to getting some recommendations for the best wax. FYI, I clayed, then 3M Finesse It II, followed by Klasse AIO. Car looks good, but not great. Will additional layers of Klasse SG help as much as it did on...
