I was helping a friend/co-worker ( substitute teacher) detail his wife's Black MB E420 today. A month ago, we spent a week fixing some rust areas on the lower doors with bondo and the car turned out pretty good. Today, we attacked the hood. It was filled with swirls and RIDS from years of...

The car is my Dad's 2001 Metallic Brown Cadillac Deville. I did a mild polish with Menzerna Final Polish ( PO85U) and then topped it off with WG Sealant. Now I need a little help. I bought DP Max Wax- bc i read many reviews that said it was great on metallics. I will use Max Wax but I...

Paint is original single stage & very shiny. However, I have spider webs from using cotton towels years ago from drying the car. Lots of these Grand Nationals had defective paint from the factory where the paint would crack. Fortunately, I do not have this problem. What is a mild polish...

Just pissed off. I had my dad's 84 GMC Sierra 3500 PickUp Truck restored- spent alot of money on tune up, parts & repaint. The truck came out great. Since I had the door gaskets changed, it's a little tough to close the doors shut. I was w/my neighbor friend and when he could not shut...
