yes, I'm aware that you can do some very Minor correction on PPF.. Having had PPF on all my rides, I think/feel that the next car will probably only get PPF on my rocker panels and front clip. Anything else beyond that kills the aesthetics of the car for me. YMMV and I've have had film...

planning to borrow a friends Graco HVLP setup... I have tons of feet of iron gate I need to paint and I don't plan to do it like the last time which was with a brush... Just short of drop cloths, good eye protection, and respirator

OT or not....but is *oil* of any variant, whether it be cooking oil or motor oil acceptable for trim from a professional detailer. Threw me for a curve ball when I saw a C&B of some sorts - using Peanut Cooking Oil on the lower trim...

Anyone know the shop I'm talking about

Testing to commence next week.... For those using a pressure washer, how much hand agitation do you guys end up using on wheelweels / wheels after a blast with a pressure washer. Too lazy to bend down and use the straight lance...I've got a flexi nozzle on it's way....

I have been through tons and tons of tire dressings for my *silver/brushed aluminum, etc* summer wheels. Always sway back to Z16. Did not like Hyperdressing cut 10 different ways, etc. Z16 doesn't last but gives me the perfect sheen. It's the tradeoffs for a water based product. FAST...

winter wheels are in the shop getting powdercoated a eggshell black. It's the perfect black for me....it's one sheen level above flat and one sheen level below matte. --- Ive got valve stems I need to paint to make them blend in. Local shops have flat and glossy and not the *eggshell*...

Alrighty..... This would be a 1st for me and I'm not quite sure what chemical is best to attack this....meaning, let the chemical do the work for me, and I will supply the elbow grease as well. I just picked up a set of wheels meant for winter duty. The previous owner did not realized he...

We blow $$$ on nuba. And with the recent thread on wheel removal, I figured I'd start a thread on what sockets you guys use when you remove wheels. I have a full fiberglass core socket by a company that went out of business. Complete inner core is fiberglass. True thinwall. Then I have my SO...

Just blurbing outloud. Wrapped up 1 winterization today. 2 more to go. Down to 2 last bottles of Aquapel in my stash. Sealants have come a long way when I purchased my case of Aqualpel. What is your preferred glass glass sealant product these days. I have plenty of sealants in my stash...

Decided to open the tin to test it out. I have read this stuff is hard and boy oh boy it is indeed. Too lazy to haul out the halogen to sunbathe it ---- so I opted to run with 845 for todays application. Weather was great - mid 50's . I usually start doing winter prep much later and pay for it...

Need a good versatile heavy duty shelving system for tires, bench power tools, u name it. In the past, I have used Metro wire shelving as it comes in all various sizes. All I need to order was post and what depth, width shelf setup I needed. I liked the fact it was open wire so air can...

Alrighty....I have not done a AB comparison on powdercoating vs. painted wheels but IS powdercoating THAT MUCH MORE DURABLE ? If you are a wheel nut, and get metallurgy....similar to the concept of what happens when you chrome a wheel, it is often advised to not powdercoat wheels due to the...

Do you high pressure rinse before you do a foam soaking... I am going to give it a whirl and try a touchless wash routine. Or maybe I should just take this in baby steps and SEE whether a foam dwell time with traditional mitt wash helps cut down the marring...on soft paint. Just...

The initial brunt of shipping costs is generally the 1st couple of lbs.... I swear I do this all the time with various odd's and ends....it's a really bad habit as I'm making the xcuse that shipping will cost me the next time I need that extra 1 thing....I'll just tack it onto this order...

I am not a pw pump guru. Maybe DF can chime in here.....between the various pump brands/models.... Anyhow, I am very tempted to pick this up not because I really need it - it would be nice to have as a backp, but it's SOOO CHEAP. 2750 PSI Cat Pump, measly 2.5 gallons, Leeson 5 amp motor...

I recently added another shop air filtration unit --- similar to the one I have in the partitioned room that holds my bench power tools. It's mounted high but has a wireless remote for control and speed. I couldn't stand polishing dust getting into areas /corners/crevices/things...where I...

Do you guys know of a good retailer ~online-mailorder~ that you can recommend. I'm looking to order Ventureshield and Lllumar. What tools of the trade just short of squeegee cards do you guys use for custom cutting. I have plenty of yellow turbo cards of various sizes, blue and clearmax...

What is the recommended products for caring and feeing of bridle leather. From everything that I've looked at, they all see to recommend saddle soap. On various other threads, they suggest saddle soap is extremely alkaline and will destroy leather, etc. I'm not looking to ~refurbish~...
