    Restoring trim

    What say the experts on making some rubber trim at the base of side windows and surrounding f/r glass look somewhat new again? I need something that will last, soaks up nicely and provides some uv protection. Haven't got good results with 1z tiefenwhatever. Thanks guys.

    Burned out from detailing scene

    Burned out for a little while and neglected my poor car so now I'm getting back into the groove. What are some of the high end goodies that have come out in the past few months?

    off windows? I am going to do the usual clay bar, but I want them extra squeeky clean so I was wondering if 1z glass polish will work on those spots if there are any left over from claying? Plan on applying with mf app, thanks guys. Btw, my pinnacle clay sucks at grabbing everything.

    Holograms on a dark car

    I've been told it's buffer burn caused by a hasty or inexperienced detailer with the wrong pad and/or compound and such. Question is how do you get rid of it and will only a rotary do the job? Thanks guys.
