Hi guys, can you please look at the finish in this link and tell what the heck this problem is? Thanks Much, Clear coat failure on 2008 garage queen? - Corvette Forum

Can any of you guys recommend a good OTC rug cleaner/foam. I ran out of Clearkote and I'm in a pinch. Thanks

Want to catch this before it lifts any more. Don't really want to superglue it in the event I want to remove it in the future. Your thoughts please. It's on the rocker panel just behind the front wheels.

I've been raving about DP Extreme Foam for quite some time now. I think I finally figured out how to load a video so here goes. Notice how thick the foam is and how it quickly it fills the cowl area at the bottom of the windshield. I really love this shampoo. This is a simple garden hose running...

Well, after 16 months of perfecting the finish on my black C6, I decided it was time for a change. I loved my vette but the black was just killing me with all the dust, pollen and minor scratches constantly occurring and covering it. So I bit the bullet and stepped up to the Z06. I can't begin...

This is not really a click and brag per se. I posted this because I pay very close attention to the wheels of a car and I feel that wheels can make or break a vehicle. Don't get me wrong, polish, trim dressing, clean glass etc, all play a part in a cars appearance. However, when my friend asked...

I know that I've talked way too much about my corvette here at Autopia but I've never actually shown it. Well, I finally took it out the other day and snapped this picture. So here's my 2005 C6 that you've heard so much about. [/IMG] Patrick

Sorry if this post doesn't belong in this section but I wanted a large audience to view it. I recently stopped by my local Ferrari repair shop and looked around a bit. When I asked the owner/mechanic if it was expensive to own a Ferrari he said something that I thought was interesting. He told...

Hi Gang, looking for personal experience regarding a long lasting and very durable wax or sealant to be applied to the inside rim of my C6 wheels (behind the spokes). Some thoughts are: Wheel Wax, Collinite 476 or 845, Zaino Z-2 or Z-5. Any personal experience would be greatly appreciated...

I tried applying some Eimann Fabrik black sapphire dressing to a set of faded Saab door handles and got no where. The plastic is extremely hard and smooth and doesn't darken with a dressing. Would forever black work or would that not absorb either? Anyone have any experience with Saab trim? Car...

Please know that I have never posted to the click and brag section. I'm not here to tell you about how many layers or how many hours it took to make my truck look like this. In fact, just the opposite. This is my 2005 Tundra. I gave it a light polish 8 months ago. I have not washed it in 6 weeks...

Hi guys, do you think these scratches are fixable? I know it's tough from just this picture but it's the only photo I have access to. They are chrome 2007 corvette wheels. Click the full size button for a bigger picture. Moreover, how would you tackle this? Chrome.jpg - Image - Photobucket...

Can anyone shed some light on this? I bought some very nice, plush microfiber towels from Pakshak a few months ago which have quickly become my favorite. I wash them in hot water in the washing machine using a little Dawn and a splash of white vinegar in the final rinse. Although they are still...

Zaino CS - 90% full - $20 Zaino ZFX - $12 Will trade for DP Extreme Foam Shampoo, Pinnacle Crystal Mist, Z-2 pro or Z-5 pro. Send me a PM Patrick

Let me start by saying that these are simply my observations. They are not the result of some scientific experiment. I recently bought four shampoos to see which one worked best in my foam gun. I kinda figured that none of the four would really stand out above the rest. What I was looking for...

I just did a full correction on my black car a few months back. I have been using Clearkote RMG and Carnauba Moose Wax and it looks great. However, I'm ready to refresh the look because I'm noticing some slight hazing here and there but I don't want to go through the whole time consuming polish...

Took my black vette to get some dinner with my girlfriend tonight. You know, the one that never sees rain, dust or bugs because it's a garage queen. When I came out from dinner there was a note on my drivers side window that read " If you're a guy, my name is Kerri call me". Well, my girlfriend...

My girlfriend is buying a jet black 2004 Mercedes C320. While at the dealership, I mentioned that I am looking forward to getting this car home and polishing it thoroughly. Then the salesman said " Just remember, "Mercedes jet black has no clear coat". Then I thought maybe he's right since...

FINALLY, after months and months of research, sweat, money, sleepless nights, polishing at 3am and asking everyboby under the sun how to remove the scratches from my black C6 I finally have my answer and I owe it all to Superbee364. The way to get light scratches and marring out of hard corvette...

At the request of a fellow Autopian, I contacted Hi-Temp to see if their products could help me get my black corvette swirl free. The rep told me that they did not have anything for my application but I should try 3M 5996. He told me that since GM clearcoat is so hard that I should use a product...
