    Can You Patch a Crack in Chrome

    I recently noticed a crack in my chrome wheels that seems to be down to the copper, as a goldish material appears through the crack. I know this is going to peel, and I am going to have to have it rechromed. But, in the meantime, is there anything I can do to keep it from peeling. I don't...

    Will TW Chrome Polish, Ex-P and TC-3xp Bond?

    If I polish with TW Chrome Polish, then seal with EX-p, topped with TC-3xp for durability will everything bond together well? I received a set of chrome wheels in the mail today and want to get them polished and protected before I put them on. They are in really good shape, but I...

    Hosed - What can my friend do now? (long)

    A friend of mine got into an accident in his black 2000ish Honda Accord a couple months back and took it to a body shop he knew to get it repaired. The shop took about a month to "finish" the repairs. They had to replace a door and his rear fender, to fix the body damage. They then painted...

    Added a coat of DP MaxWax, and sorry I did

    I'm sure this is a good wax, but compared to the results I received from EX-P alone, I am dissatisfied. I put 2 coats of DP Maxwax on my 1999 Pewter Z28 last week, and the reflection and shine were incredible. I planned to cover it with weekly coats of Maxwax thereafter to bring some depth...

    MaxWax now or later

    My plan is to put a couple coats of DP max wax over a couple layers of EX-P. Last week I put 2 coats of EX-p on my car in immediate succession, so I don't think the first one had time to fully cure. Do you guys think that I should put a coat of maxwax on this weekend, or or wait a week and...

    1st C&B 99 Pewter Z28

    This is the first thorough paint cleaning I've done since I found this board. I would call it a detail by any means because just this took an entire day, the interior is still pretty bad... It's by no means perfect, but this is the best I can do with my PC. And I had to work outside. I...

    Please tell me what I'm doing wrong

    I'm desperatly trying to rid the swirls from my '99 Camaro. I've tried Tropicare TC-8 and Optimum Polish via an Orange LC Pad and have not made a dent. Please tell me what I can do. I thought I was going too fast and using too much product the the TC-8. So, I went really slow with very...

    FPII vs. Tropi-care tc-8

    I'm debating on what products to buy. I recently PC'd my 99 Z28 with tc-8 and it failed to remove all the swirls. I was wondering if I should step up to OP and a yellow pad or if FPII would be stronger than tc-8 and strong enough to remove moderate swirls. My car is pewter, and I saw a...

    Unimpressed by tc-8. What to use?

    I recently bought a porter cable set from Tropi-care for my 99 Z28, which has some swirling and light scratches. I tried 3 passes on a section of the hood and noticed no noticeable difference, so I only did one pass on the rest of the car. I did notice the polish seems to work much better...
