I have a set of summer wheels that are a few months old, very open pattern, no marks on them. They are in my finished walk out basement waiting for mid spring. Issue is I can’t get them out of the basement until the snow is gone and I want to coat them, but.... They have a faint hint of brake...

My ancient bottle of 3m Imperial Hand Glaze cracked and lost any remaining product. Looking for a cleaner with no abrasives to the be topped with a wax (1 Grand Blitz) or polymer sealant (1z Glanz or fk1000p). I’m on a “use it if you have it” kick. So, since I no longer have the cleaner I...

... :) I have probably 3/4 of the tin bottle and figured I`d give it a chance again after many, many years. Applied to dark grey metallic Civic that sits outside. I`ll be curious how it holds up but it looks good now! The old school smell... ah, miss it. If it smells like chemicals you know...

FK1000p and FK425 user here for the past 15 years, looking for something with more longevity, more of a sacrificial layer, and would like to squeeze out more gloss (though it might be tough to do). I will polish out any significant blemishes, then thinking of using Cosmic Kit V2 and using the...

Ok need people to share their experience and what they would do. On the fence if I should invest in a new polisher. My back isn`t what I would like it to be (popped a disk at 26 doing squats) so in an all day polishing session, let`s just say I pay for it for it for a few days. Also, the...

I have a Black Audi and strongly considering Bilt Hamber Auto Balm. Can anyone comment on... Depth? Shine? Durability?

Keep the felt ring under the backing plate oiled with Air Tool Oil. Before each use, make sure the center bolt holding the backing plate is tight. If it's anything but nice and tight while you apply pressure at anything but flat, you may burn up your backing plate. When you burn it...

I've got a black Audi. Would you consider topping One Grand Omega Glaze with FK1000P, or would that hurt the durability of FK too much? I also have Danase Wet Glaze and would consider topping it with FK1000P, but I've heard that One Grand is very good on black. Thoughts?

Thinking of using that combo on my black Audi. Any experiences/advice out there?

When using them, how do you clean them or keep them in shape? How do you clean them afterwords?

I posted the following in the "Machine Detailing" section. http://www.autopia.org/forum/machine-polishing/107410-looking-advice-top-surface-pitting.html#post1128813 I'm looking for the best Glaze and Wax/Sealant for filling pits. I polished, Glazed (DWG) and sealed (1Z Glanz). Any...

Need some help or feedback on the top surfaces of my Black Audi '04 S4. Attached is a shot of my problem. All top surfaces of the car have pits with the hood being the worst. If you look at the attached picture, around the light bulb, you see specs. Those are actually pits and are very...

I've tried vinegar, rubbing alcohol, clay bar and One Grand Window Cleaner/compound (by hand). I need to move to a machine and have a ton of 106. Should I go for it?

One of the "benifits" of working in a garage is that you can't always see what your doing 100%. I find that Z8, unless you barely use any, will haze if you don't wipe it all 100% dry. With a Black car, that's not ideal... Does FK425 clean up more forgiving than Z8? Do you think FK425...
