Another question for my body shop experts, especially Guitarman. My previous post, "dent repair/paint problems", focused on a repair and overspray. The body shop corrected both of those problems. Now I have a problem with rippling and some orange peel located on the door below the window...

I've had BLACKFIRE polish and sealer stitting on my shelf for two months. I guess it's time to get to work. I'll be applying it to my 2003 black Dodge 1500 Quad Cab. It's a darned big truck. Any last minute suggestions for making the job go well? I'll be applying both products with a PC and...

Are there any paint/body repair experts out there? With 12,154 members of this forum there have to be a few. :) It is Friday evening and I have just picked up my black 2003 Dodge hemi from the body shop. I had a minor dent (over $500) repaired at the top of a door. The repair was made and...

I am most pleased with the results I have achieved using Meguiar’s Medallion Premium Paint Protection on both my wife’s 2002 silver Tacoma and my 2003 black Dodge Hemi. This product is a “dream� to use. It took me less than 1/2 day to wash and “wax� each...

I managed to put two small dents in back edge of the roof and one dent on the top of the driverside door on my 2003 Ram 1500. I am going to check tomorrow about having the dents removed using paintless dent removal techniques. I'd like to hear about some of your experiences with this process. I...

Can I layer MPPP? I'm not interested in depth of color. I only want protection for a trip to the Milwaukee area. Last time I was there, I got some industrial fallout crap on the hood and top of a new black Bronco. ( I haven't been back since 1990.) Right now I have two coats of MPPP on the...

Blue Coral, Classic, Excalibur, Meguiar's. Been there, done them! Waxing since 1957. 1956 Ford, 1961 Corvair Monza, 1964 Chevlle SS 327, 1967 Chevelle SS 396, 1970 Olds Cutlass, 1973 Vega GT (a mistake), I973 Olds 88 454, 1977 Olds Cutlass, 1981 Blazer, 1986 Blazer, 1991 Bronco, 1994...

Yes, I've already done a search, but I'd like a direct answer of what has really worked and lasted in removing wax residue from black trim. I managed to get Meguiar's Medallion Premium Paint Protection on the black textured plastic door handles on my new Dodge Ram. The product I tried first...

I just received my Blackfire kit from CMA and plan to apply it to my black Dodge 1500 this weekend. I'll be using a PC dual action polisher. The finish on the truck is in very good shape. I applied Megs DACP and Medallion Premium Paint Protection last weekend. Any suggestions? I want to...

Does anyone know anything about the Ming Detailing Process? It is done at nationally franchised shops. Supposedly it does not involve using wax or sealants. I've seen the results. They are very, very good. It's also very expensive -- $250- $300 per vehicle. Yearly "redos" are $75.

There are times that I have to resort to using a coin operated car wash rather than doing a careful handwash at home. No matter how much time I spend soaking my truck with the high pressure wash and rinse, there is always residue left on the truck. Any suggestions on how dry my truck without...

I spent most of today working on my BLACK 2003 Dodge Ram. The truck is only two months old but there was enough water etching on the hood that I had to use Meguiar's DACP to remove the the watermarks. The rest of the truck was pretty much OK and Mequair's #9 did a nice job of removing minor...

A simple question. If all of the sealants so strongly supported on this site are so good – Klasse, Blackfire, Zaino, etc., why don’t Meguiar’s and 3M have similar products?

HELP -- A friend's Jeep Wrangler just acquired yellow road paint splatter on a painted fender flare. The flare was painted after purchase and I imagine the it is urethane with a flex agent added. It is minor spatter -- no globs. The spots will pop off with a fingernail. Fortunately it covers...

This forum has raised more questions in my mind about detailing than I care to think about. I’ve been messing with detailing since 1961 – Blue Coral on a very nice Corvair Monza. I moved on to using Meguiar’s products in 1970 on a black Olds Cutlass at the recommendation of a body shop...

Just how good is Klasse All-In-One? I need something the is easy to apply, durable and will look good on a 2003 black Dodge Ram 1500. This product has been recommended as being much better than Meguiar's Medallion Premium Paint Protection. Can I use a PC polisher to apply and remove Klasse?

What results could I expect using a PC polisher to apply Mequiar's # 6 Cleaner/Wax followed in a day or two (after another wash) by Medallion Premium Paint Protection? I want good protection and something that looks good on my 2003 black Dodge Ram. It's a heck of a lot of truck to do at one...

I would like suggestions about the easiest, quickest and most efficient detailing techniques to use on my new black Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab pickup. It is one heck of a lot of black truck and I don’t want to spend tons of time with the detail job. I have ordered a Porter Cable Ultimate...
