Having a serious issue lately with the horrible water we have here in lovely California. :angry: As many of you are probably aware, California has a severe water crisis at hand and is making every attempt possible to limit water usage across the state. Unfortunately this is horrible for us...

So about a month or two ago I had a set of brand new Hankook RS3's mounted on my dad's BMW M6 and there was tire mounting lubricant all of the sidewalls. Shop denied they caused it, saying the tires came like that. Yeah yeah...   Anyways, I'm looking for the best way to remove this crud...

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'helvetica neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">So about 6 months ago I attempted to use CarPro's Ceriglass to remove some etchings on my windows. Only made it to the driver side window before disaster occurred. When I went to buff the window, the...

Went into Lowes today to pickup some more of the proline tile and grout sponges as they are excellent for paint use, but was shocked to see no Lowes stores in the area stock them anymore. Anyone either know who else carries this product, or a safe alternative? Home Depot has their own...

So about 6 months ago I attempted to use CarPro's Ceriglass to remove some etchings on my windows. Only made it to the driver side window before disaster occurred. When I went to buff the window, the ceriglass was impossible to get off and I tried everything to get rid of it (clay, ipa/water...

Hey guys so I have a pretty bad hard water problem at my house when I wash my car that I'm trying to resolve before I do paint correction. I've been using no rinse for years as I've already accepted the fact that I can't get a spot free finish to Autopian standards any other way. I even wash at...

Hey guys... So I ordered a MTM foam lance that should be here in a few days, and can't wait to use it, but I need a pressure washer to mate it to. I'm looking an electric pressure washer, but am having trouble figuring out what to buy? I have a $200 gift card on Amazon and would highly prefer to...

Hey guys... Looking to get a foam lance so I can clean our black M6 that hasn't been washed in about a month due to time constraints and just horrible weather). I'll probably rent or borrow a gas pressure washer once I get the foam lance, until I determine what kind of pressure washer I really...

Hey guys... Ordered HD UNO V4 for the first time in December for a detail on my friends car and I LOVE it! Works so much better and is easier to use than M105. I'm still on the original bottle with probably 3/4 of it left, but today I went to use it and was somewhat disappointed. When I went to...

Hey guys... I'm looking for a detailer in the East Bay area that would be able to wash my dad's black sapphire BMW M6 I did paint correction on back in December. I did complete swirl removal and have been having my friend at home clean it weekly since he's currently the only one I trust to do...

Hey guys... Looking to do some paint correction on my car again, but I'm curious how much clear is left as I don't have a paint meter? I can't afford to buy one, so I was wondering if anyone in the area had one that they could give me readings from, or if I could borrow it? LMK. Thanks.

Ok so I'm detailing my dad's 2008 BMW M6 and so far correction has been going GREAT with my Griot's DA polisher using 4" LC CCS pads. Now the only area of concern is the carbon fiber roof which has your typical wash induced marring and swirls (it sadly became a victim of the "automatic swirl...

Hey guys... So over the last few days I've been doing paint correction on my friend's 2008 BMW Z4 M Coupe and he's been there watching the process and really been impressed with the work I've done and how the condition of his car has transformed. Anyways, I was almost entirely done with the...

Hey guys... Just got some HD Poxy and was curious how the durability of this is compared to KSG? Since Poxy is also a sealant and I wanted to experiment with it, can I do a few base coats of KSG, then top the KSG with Poxy? Since Poxy says it's a nano polymer sealant and wax, does that mean it...

Hey guys... I have a Borla exhaust with 3" tips and after a week with some spirited driving thrown in, my tips get all black and will have baked on exhaust soot residue that can only be removed with steel wool, grade 000 followed by grade 0000, then finished with Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish...
