    Touching up black paint

    I've always been skeptical on touching up, I can never get it just right. It was advised to me a while ago to try using flat black on minor stone chips on my black cars. He said this way it will be less visible. I thought about it, and it kind of makes sense. Flat black has no clear and...

    4" pad started to disintegrate

    The other day I was working with a PC+4" LC orange pad and M105. I'll admit, I was pretty aggressive with it as the car I was working on way beyond killed as far as the paint condition was concerned. I noticed small chunks of the pad going off. Is this normal, just time to replace the pad or...

    Cleaning uo older brake fluid reservoirs

    Does anyone know if it's possible to bring back the original white color of brake fluid reservoirs that turned slightly yellow over time or is that more of a permanent thing? I wanna buy a used reservoir fluid in hopes of making it look brand new again. Any thoughts?

    Experience with windshield repairs

    I've got a few scratches here and there on my windshield. I've been talking to a few people and was told that there are detailing shops that can cut/polish some of the imperfections on it. Does anyone have any hands on experience with such services?

    Windshield needs some TLC

    I've got some light scratches on the windshield and the back window as well. I'm wondering if there is a shop that can cut/polish it for me? I was talking to someone today and they mentioned to me that it can be done and they even go as far as removing the *small* stone chips you may have in the...

    Applying 303

    Just how do you guys go about applying this stuff? For the last year or so, I've been spreading it with a thin MF towel. I recently bought some foam applicators and wanted to give them a try with the 303...what do you guys think?

    Keeping/Discarding MF applicators

    How long is it safe to re-use MF applicators? I've had one MF applicator that I've been using for a year now only with Zaino. I really don't know if I should wash and re-use it or throw it out completely? I keep it in a zip clock bag so it doesn't see any contaminants. Thoughts, opinions?

    Sonus Green-users chime in.

    OK, I've already PM'd a reputable member about the concerns for my paint not being the smoothest and we both agreed that I should try some Sonus Green. Long story short, I went to apply some Souveran with the provided foam pad and it didn't go on butter smooth vs. the small spot I *just*...

    Waterless Washes-Besides ONR

    I've washed my car twice since I brought it out this past April. I just don't have the time/patience for a full wash+the nice long dry. The reason for this is that I often feel that I'm almost over killing it as my car sees NO rain, NO foul weather of any sort. She gets driven out of the garage...

    Claying-Do they all mar/scratch?

    I've been looking for a clay bar that I can count on to remove bugs/bug marks from my front end safely without the need of me having to take my rotary out and do some correctional work. Sonus green seems to come in mind. Does anyone else think this would be a good clay for my use?

    Got my Chemical Guys MF Towels

    I recently received my package from CG containing their "Extreme Thickness" Monster (Blue) MF towels. First thing is first-What they look like and the description posted on their site is NOT what they are like in real life. The ubber plushness and thickness isn't there. The towel seems to work...

    What to use for engine dress up?

    I love the protection of 303 but I want a lil more "look" if you know what I mean. The looks of 303 are great but not long lasting by any means. What can I top over 303 that isn't greasy and oily? Anything OTC??
