Has anyone ever polished out an area that you wetsanded with a PC? A week ago I worked on a old jag that needed a few spots wetsanded , I hit them with some 2k grit and then polished them out with my PC, an orange pad, and some PB SS2.5, now the paint was a single stage enamel that responded...

I met a guy who owns a 70's Jag E type with a V12 that wants me to detail it for him, his main area of concern is the engine compartment. I have heard bad things about these engines when it comes to cleaning them. Fires etc... from the mis-use of pressure washers. Does anyone here have any...

I got the windows tinted on my daughters 05 bug and thought that I would clean up the mess they left on the outside, it all started with just a quick wash yesterday, but ended up giving it a mini detail, finishing up tonight. Started in the engine with a wipe down using Poorboys QD+, I have...

I was coming back from a weekend trip to St Louis when I encountered a highway crew spraying something down on the road, I thought I did my best to avoid them but apparently not.:mad: I now have a fair amount of this clear sealant on my wheels and rocker panels.:wall. I called the highway...

Well, it finally happened...after 25 years of driving, I got my first ticket this morning.:wall, He was a sneaky one, motorcycle cop sitting in a guys driveway next to his garage, didn't even see him until I was right up on him. He had no mercy on me, even with my record. Ended up being a $185...

A couple of days ago my sister in laws house got egged along with her Escalde and my BIL's Impala SS, my BIL let the egg sit on there all day and now it has eaten right through the paint on both vehicles. Now my BIL is a bit lazy when it comes to paint care, he does not use any kind of wax or...

This morning I started polishing my Wifes 98 Acura which is black, after I did my steps of PB's ssr2.5, then ssr1, I decided to throw on a coat of PB Black hole for a final polish........after I let it haze, I wiped it off and sat back to see the glory that stood before me:drool: Wow, the paint...

have you guys ever been successful cleaning a under hood liner? Mine on my Suburban was perfect until I took a trip and ran through some crud on the road :wall, now I cant get it off. I took some APC and tried to soak it out, but its soaked into the fibers, if you brush it, it will pull all the...

Any idea when you will be making a batch of Nattys Red? Im about out!!:passout:

I have about a half bottle of SSR1 that I have not used in about 5 months, yesterday I got it out to polish out my daughters VW and noticed that it had turned into a liquid, I shook it up and it all mixed back up, but is still a thin milky consistency, any ideas of why it did this? My garage is...

I have been doing alot of wood working projects here lately and needed to wax the top of my router table and table saw but I didnt want to contaminate the paste wax that I use on my cars, so I put a few squirts of QD+ on each and wiped them down.:D, it made the tops very slick and now the wood...

How many of you guys will drive around water in the street, or if unavoidable, drive really slow through it to avoid getting the undercarriage wet? There have been times when I will take a different route to totally avoid a dirty or wet street. Am I the only sick one who does this??:crazy2:

This last weekend I pulled out the Camaro to give it the yearly cleaning that she gets. I decided to try some Nattys Red to see what it would be like on a Lacquer paint job. I put a whole coat of Nattys red on and let it sit all day, at first I was not wowed with the results as I was with my...

Well, tonight I decided to put a full coat of Nattys red over the foundation of blue that I put on a few days ago. Overall the truck looks much wetter now and blacker. I took a couple of pics, but one turned out a bit blurry (no Tripod) plus the sun was setting so the lighting was not optimal.

This area of the car is one of my biggest pet peeve areas, I can keep the rest of my vehicles looking good, but the wheel wells are always a problem area. I have scuffed them a few times and shot them with satin black paint but over time they go back looking dirty, lately I have just been...
