Anyone have any recommendations on these? I would like to store my car in the garage for winter and be able to tuck it away in the corner as much as possible. I have seen a couple different types: Hydraulic with foot peddle, and non hydraulic. With the hydraulic type would you be able to jack...

I'm getting this stuff everywhere! I have tried laying down a thin 6" line on the car and dabbing it around, I have tried pea sized drops, etc. No matter how slow I start off with the Makita I get crazy sling. What is the trick? I'm using an edge orange wool pad.

Test car is a beat up 1992 Honda Accord. Lots of marring, water spots, etc. I washed, clayed, and hit it with edge yellow wool and OHC on my new Makita. I'm doing nice slow passes (about 1"/second) on speed 3 (1500 rpm's) and just the weight of the machine. It's removing quite a bit of the...

It's brand new in the sealed package, never opened/used.

This is my first click & brag and I meant to post it about 2 months ago when I first detailed it. The weather was poor so I didn't get any pics. These were from yesterday after a quick touch up. It's my daily driver, so please ignore the many chips on the front and the ding by the passenger head...

I'm clearly in violation of no front plate and window tint, and I will happily pay the fine. I just don't totally agree with this one guys tactics. In my neck of the woods these aren't that big of a deal. They generally tack stuff on like that with other traffic violations, etc. This one...

I just used Prime Strong and AJT for the first time. Results were excellent! What is the best practice for maintaining the AJT if I want to re-apply in a few weeks? Should I just do a quality wash and spray on again, or should I run a quick clay session over it to remove some of the larger...

Anyone near me who would like to work on a Silver Prelude? My parents garage is overrun with junk and I can't work in it anymore. I clayed about half of it but gave up after the clutter nearly killed me.:eek: Please help! :bow I'm willing to drive an 1.5hrs if need be. I'm looking for a...

Several years back at an auto show my dad bought me some Speedy Brightner made by Ardex. I haven't used it in a few years, then about two months ago I put in on my new tires. Yesterday I tried cleaning up the tires for a new coat and it wouldn't come off. I tried megs gold class soap, Turtle...

The car I'm working on is loaded with debris. All of the surface debris came off nicely, but sand keeps pouring out of the mats. I have vac'd multiple times in multiple directions, with an assortment of tools. When I flip the mats over and beat them with my hand it keeps pouring out. I...

I've got a 2001 Grand Marquis that has never been cleaned. The leather and vinyl is filty. I tried a few different cleaners with varous rags and brushes and have gotten no where. Is there another method that is better? Would a steamer do the trick? Can I even use steam on leather? If so what...

I have been trying to search for good toppers for NXT. Will any old carnuba over top be a good idea? Car is new White Honda Civic. Process will be wash, sonus fine clay, NXT, and?

A kid who was repairing a flat on my winter Honda noticed the expandable foam I blew into the rear wheel well rust holes. He commented on how he shaved his foam down and then bondo'd right over it. Has anyone done this? I'm thinking the foam will flex to much and cause the bondo to crack? If...

All I have is DACP and the SFX pad kit in the polishing dept. I'm wondering if I NEED to follow DACP with a finer polish or can I get away with using the yellow pad and moderate presure, then bump down to the white pad, then the blue all with DACP and still get a great finish? Is that even...

1992 Accord. used to be kept in pristine condition up until about 2001ish. Rarely had machine car washes, was always waxed by el cheapo oribital buffer. Once standard accord rust set in I stopped cleaning it, and the paint magically started failing on the right side? What exactly is some of...

I'm using my winter beater which has been neglected for years, in hopes of learing how to polish with a machine, etc. The front and right sides have been repainted at one time and are basically just falling apart. I knew there wasn't much hope for them but I figured I play with it anyways. The...
