    applying Klasse SG

    What is the preferred method for folks to apply Klasse SG? I just tried a black LC pad, which seems to work OK but I also found applying by hand is just as fast and (apparently) effective. I assume the machine will add a thinner layer, but a 6.5" pad on a random orbital also makes it tough to...

    Anyone have a preference for the Sonus 6" SFX pads over the LC CCS pads for the PC (or vice versa)?

    Wolfgang clay

    ... is it any good? I'm after a decent, not-too-rough clay bar kit (clay plus spray). I was about to drop for the Mothers kit but discovered the claybar is only about 2oz and I'd also be paying for that little bottle of cleaner wax I'll never use. The wolfgang bar is 4oz so I might get more than...

    help me decide on polishes

    What are the pros and cons of the following two combos for a noob needing to deal with both crusty old (scratches galore) and smoother newer (light swirl) cars? Menzerna IP and FPII Optimum compound and polish I'm also wondering if I could get away with just the OP alone and a more...

    interior plastic scratches

    I was just living with deep scratches in various interior panels but I thought I'd ask the experts if there's anything that can be done to "buff" them out. Problem is that the plastic is slightly textured (2004 Toyota 4Runner, gray interior) so I doubt they can be fixed without creating a...

    Which LC CCS finishing pads?

    I'm confused... the CSS pad range has four colors that seems to be for finishing -- green, gray, blue, and red. So who uses what for what? I'm thinking of just getting gray and blue (to go with orange and white for basic cutting/polishing). Any thoughts or advice? It all seems like a nice...

    best 5" pad backer for PC

    I have a PC 7336 with both the PC 6" adhesive backing pad and PC 5"/5-hole hook and loop backing pad (yes, I also use it as a sander!) and am wondering if that 5" pad is going to be fine for use with buffing pads too. I've read that the backings for buffing pads tend to be a softer, more...

    Alternative to Klasse sealant?

    I'm after a durable sealant for both silver and gray metallic cars and was considering the Klasse (not the AIO). However, I'm reading more and more negative comments about the Klasse and how there are better products out there. So what are the better sealants out there?! My main concern is...

    How to find chip repair pro?

    I have a minor ding on my door -- a half-dime sized chip caused by something in the garage falling against the door or my 2004 4runner -- and I'm having a hard time finding anyone who will repair it in the Bay Area. As expected, body shops in my area (even the good ones) say they would...

    Scratch repair gone bad

    I managed to mess up on the last stage of a scratch repair and wondered if there's any way back. After several layers of touch-up paint to fill in a short scratch, followed by a layer of clearcoat, I just had to lightly sand the repair flush to the surrounding paint. By hand, I used...
