Hi guys, While detailing my truck after a bad winter, I got around to the wheels and tires. Wheels are 20" factory chrome and the tires are new Cooper At3 as of April. I used an acid based chrome wheel cleaner I found at NAPA that is Eagle One Chrome Wheel cleaner. It worked great on the...

Hi Guys, I have a Black 07 Tahoe and had a question on the body side molding (door ding molding). While using the rotary I accidently rubbed the side of a foam pad (black CCS) against the molding and it scuffed it up. I know it's my fault for not taping the molding up, but these new...

Hi, I have a black 2007 Tahoe that had your standard horizontal scratch marks from dealer prep, car washing, etc... So I've got a Cyclo and I'm trying to get a test spot perfect before using that procedure on the whole truck. There are a couple before pics and after pics. The paint was...

Hi Guys, It's been a while since I've done a major detail and at this point I am stumped trying to buff out my new Tahoe. I've had it for about 7 weeks and I was waiting to have some time to really buff out the whole thing and end with a good LSP when I'm done. Per usual, it's already...

I've had a larger ShopVac (5hp 16gal QSP) I purchased many years ago and it's been used and abused. I wanted to get a more mobile unit for cleaning cars, etc. I just picked up the RidGid 4050 (5hp 4 gal) that everyone's been raving about. I decided to compare the suction of these two...

Hello, I figured I would provide some updates on some tests I have done. I have a white 05 Tahoe Z71. White, I'm finding is a difficult color in the sense that you cannot see many defects until night time under the street lamps. So I've done my truck in pieces with different machines over...

Hello, I've searched the forums a bit, and there are probably differing answers to this question, but "In General", what is the better way to go when moving up or down in aggressiveness: In other words, if I'm looking to go more aggressive because the pad/polish combo is not working, is it...

Does anyone know for sure if this product has any fillers (3M Perfect-It 3000 SMR 06064)? I had some pretty good results last night going through a process on half the hood of my Tahoe. Like everyone knows, in the end, removing swirl marks is the name of the game. I'd like to remove vs...

I have a Makita rotary and a PC. I've used mostly 3m products with the rotary (usually after painting a car, wetsanding and buffing,etc.) and Meguiars with the PC. Given the dizzying array of products out there, does anyone have a recommendation for a one step product prior to waxing? I'm...
