Correcting the finish on factory wheels
NowDatsG replied to NowDatsG's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
So I finally grabbed some of the heavy compound and some pads. Here is a pic of one spoke after 2 passes with the foam pad. I did a total of 4 passes but it didn't get any better with the deep scratches but I can almost see myself lol. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e47/lambo410/20170924_172914.jpg Also my pads became super dirty after one pass, I'm talking total eclipse, pure black. Most likely years of Sh*/ in the wheels. When I get a chance I'll go to correcting polish and snap more pics -

Much appreciated I think the barrels are supposed to be painted. I have one wheel he never tried to paint and it's dark grey. Foam pad or microfiber? Might as well try both. -

Correcting the finish on factory wheels

Hey everyone, need a little bit of guidance. These wheels I have on my vw seem to be sanded by the previous owner. When I bought the wheels they were painted. So what you see is what he was hiding underneath. What products or guidance can you guys advise to get them to look much better. Things I already have are a porter cable buffer (small and large pad adapter) paint correction and finishing polish, and revive hand polish. I also have paint sealant, and buttery wax but I doubt the wax would do anything. http://s36.photobucket.com/user/lambo410/media/20170911_181512.jpg.html http://s36.photobucket.com/user/lambo410/media/20170911_181455.jpg.html -

Seat belts, what products/methods are you using
NowDatsG posted a question in Interior Cleaning & Care
I bought a Jetta with 145k and as you can imagine, the interior is not in the best of shape. I cleaned up most of it but the seat belts....horrible. They used to be tan but are closer to dark grey lol. How does the community go about cleaning their belts? I tried leather and interior cleaner because that's what I had on hand and it didn't make a difference. Should I try all purpose cleaner?- 7 replies

Im cleaning and washing box trucks tractors and trailers for 40+ hours a week. So when it comes to my own i really dont even bother it as much as i used to. On my off days i may bring out the 2 buckets and H2OG&G but the Porter Cable has been boxed all summer.

Do just one section all steps or whole car each step?
NowDatsG replied to BAMAS2000's question in Paint Correction & Polishing
I prefer to do a one step at a time with the whole car or at least big sections. (Front end, drivers side, etc) So i'll like clay and polish a big section, then clay and polish another section so forth and so on. I think its personal preference. -
I think its just a normal black, but it's so dirty if there is any pearl I can't see it yet.

This is great and gives me something to look forward to. I just purchased a black mk4 jetta that needs a ton of love. Great job.

Condensation on glass from inside of cars
NowDatsG replied to puneetsaggar's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
You definitely have a small leak. I have one around my windshield. Not enough for a puddle of water, but I will have frost on the inside during the winter.
