I recently removed the ppf that was on my roof only to find this lovely surprise on the edge of the roof spanning the entire passenger side of the car. It scares me a bit to hit it with a polisher or wet sand as it’s on the edge but maybe I’m missing something and this can be minimized ...

I have no idea how or why GM used this type of finish on the hatchback panels on my car. It appears that the plastic has some etching done to it from water spots and general just stains ? I included some before and after pics - the after pics is after I tried 303 and carpro Perl on the...

I cannot believe what I just did. My own fault and no one else’s. I burnt thru the paint on the edge of my fender on my 8,000 mile C6 Z06. FML. It is small and on the inside edge of the lip. My question is if this fix is possible with someone using an airbrush at a body shop or a complete...

My paint is happy. The 3500 on a white pad finished nice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys- it may be time to update my arsenal of polishing compounds or both or both. I am using a makita rotary with a series of Menz polishes with 2500 being the most aggressive. I can get the panel to be super clear and deep but with proper lights, there are tiny hair line marks/mar that...

Tried with m105 and Menz 2500 on orange pad with my rotary! I didn’t go too hard with the Megs 105 - I made them a lot better then they were but they’re still present. I cannot tell if this is a crack in the clear or a scratch. But man are they stubborn. If you guys have suggestions, I’m all...

Hey guys- over the winter I’m going to be polishing my 8K mile LeMans Blue 2007 Z06. The car has a deep gloss as it sits but has the usual “I don’t know how to wash and dry my car” scratches which I’ll remove with my Menzerna 2500 or 3000 and an orange pad. My question is how should I finish...

How is this stuff over a ceramic coating ? Essentiallly- will it provide more gloss and shine then my already glossy cquartz? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If anyone has ever looked at inner hatch panel on thr c6 corvette you’ll know it’s a matte black plastic panel and mine isn’t looking good. It has run marks and water stains on it and I’ve got no clue how to even begin cleaning this. I can take better pics. My degreaser didn’t do a thing-...

Hey fellas- I just soaked my magic eraser with some degreaser to clean up my textured trim on the corvette. I did the middle part of the diffuser as it was caked in some wax residue. The first pic is where I used the eraser lightly. Second pic is where I didn’t touch it with a eraser...

7k mile corvette. Seats are paper thin on these cars (even my 99 ws6 has way better leather). Wondering what I could do about the leather bolster wear and the cracks on the bottom bolster? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey fellas- Am I able to/should I polish clear lenses on a c6 corvette ? They aren’t yellow. But I was wondering if it would do them any good to lightly polish them prior to ceramic ? Car has 7800 miles on it. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone offer a kit for small pads and backing plates that I can use with my makita rotary ? I can never polish pillars or around headlights/under tail lights on certain cars because you simply need a small pad to do so. Thanks ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey fellers, I applied CarPro Uk this past summer on my new Golf R- two coats of it- followed by one coat of Gliss. I wash this car with Reset and always finish it off with Elixir after each dry. Simply put- Is Reload a necessary item to have in order to maintain the qualities of the...

I’ve used up all my suede towels that came with my c quartz kit. Amazon has a pack of 10 applicator blocks with a firm foam handle and a foam bottom half. Is this OK to use? I know I’m being overly cautious but I spent 4 days working on this paint and coating it [emoji23] thanks fellas...

I was really excited with how well I heard the cerakote trim works at preserving. But what about rubber components around the windows and to preserve those ? I am guessing c quartz that I have won’t be good for the rubber trim or will it ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I absolutely hate polishing paint. Maybe it’s the dinosaur makita rotary that I’ve had for over a decade. These are the fine scratches I’m speaking of. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am a little shocked. I just picked up a brand new Golf R and just wanted to clean the paint up a bit before ceramic coating it. I started with menz 3500 and a white pad. Worked ok but still left hair line scratches. Then I went more aggressive and discovered perfect round holograms from...

I was about to order some cquartz. Then this YouTuber comes out with a new video about Graphene and now I’m confused [emoji23] Thoughts ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haven’t had a car with leather in forever. What’s a good leather treatment for brand new cars or is it just a matter of keeping them clean so the clear coat on them doesn’t disintegrate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
