Best way to clean freshly mounted tire?
Ekim716 posted a question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
Had to get a patch in a tire recently and there is tire mounting lubricant is around the wheel face. Would all purpose cleaner be the way to go, or just wheel cleaner. My wheels are a darker finish so the less "scrubbing" the better. Thanks -
I applied Adam's spray coating last spring and completely main maintenance washes over summer/fall 2020. Over the winter I basically don't touch the paint (assuming it is still protected) and still have decent water beading even with a dirty surface. My question is, can I apply another round of spray coating over and existing coating that may be on (being weak coating at this point) after a thorough wash for this spring? The car has only accumulated about 2500 miles since last spring. Should I do any additional steps to re-apply the spray coating? The results over the last 12 months have been great! Thanks for the help!

Paintless dent repair kit
Ekim716 replied to Ekim716's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
UPDATE: I called a professional and he took care of it in less than 10 mins and its literally perfect. I would seek out a local profession PDR guy and just have them do it. It's well worth it. -
Recommendations for best PDR kit for super subtle dents? Barely noticeable and super small. Any help? Thanks

How would you guys recommend cleaning some spots on a light colored cloth headline? I have a bottle of the carpet and upholstery cleaner but no brush? How should I go about that? Maybe just dab with a short nap towel? Thanks

Hi guys, basically asking about how many polishing pads do you use for an entire correction for a small SUV or sedan? I don't have compressed air so I plan on buying a few orange foam and white foam pads. Also, How do you know when its time to put on a fresh pad during a correction? What should I be looking for? Generally, I hear "less is more" regarding the amount of polish applied to each pad. Thanks

Glad I stumbled upon this thread. I have a series of 3 small chips in my front fender since the first month i've had my car, and its the only thing that sticks out. I am definitely going to try this out this spring. Looks like a really clean fix to those pesky chips from road rash.

I used a combination of the hair dryer and a razor blade. Worked Great! -
Merino wool wash mitt spots?
Ekim716 replied to Ls1transam's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I was also wondering if the mitts are washer and dryer safe? It took mine awhile to air dry. -
