  1. I have always had DI water but recently lost the service, any suggestions to eliminate hard water spots? I do have soft water and wondering if I can just tie into that, not sure what effect that has on any for clear coat, etc. We have really hard water when no other system is added to it! Thank you!
  2. Well it appears that can't ship to California!!!
  3. I googled the secret to restoring antique paint mike phillips but I am getting ads from autogeek? I don't mind paying for the information but want to make sure I am getting the information I need. I am just getting detailing your car, etc nothing antique specific? Thank you!

      I found the article!!!  Thank you!

  4. Thank you everyone I really appreciate it, I will NOT be using a machine to polish or do any correction. I do have a friend that worked for GM and he has the old magnetic tester for the depth of the paint. I was really excited to find out he had this he mailed it to me and I should have it in a few days, that should tell me what I have to work with! I love the patina look of the paint and really don't want to lose that, this was my Dad's car that I inherited, she had been stored for about 12 years and sadly just sat, she runs great!! Starts right up and lol 1st and 2nd gear is short lived she seems to love 3rd and cruising at about 40-45, I have no intention of showing her although quite a few have told me I should as most people in my area haven't seen one of these. She is super fun to drive. I will definitely post some more pics of her overall appearance! Thank you again!!
  5. I know this has single stage paint, what is the best approach to get her cleaned up? I gave her one wet wash but haven't touched the paint beyond that, she was in storage for 12 years possible longer. I don't have much experience in detailing classic cars and have never used or applied anything other than paste wax on my current Acura, I use Adams products and love them hoping I can get some guidance here! Thank you
  6. I know the paint is lacquer I am trying to determine what is the best method to get some shine to her paint, there is cracking on both fenders at the end of the side running boards I want to maintain as much of the original condition as I can, the interior is the original upholstery I believe she really is in great overall condition, runs great with a straight 8, cruise control, ride regulator (suspension adjustment) and an automatic clutch! Any thoughts, ideas of what to use and what NOT to do would be greatly appreciated!!
  7. Thank you its not a clogged filter, the mechanism that opens and shuts has stopped working. I am going to try another brand, this thing is just out of warrenty and I used it probably 15-20 times and ran hot water through it every time so not happy about the quality of this product. Thank you
  8. I do run water through it after each use, and its the adams foam canon
  9. I have tried to soak it twice it won't unclogg, someone else posted to disassemble it, any idea how to pull that thing apart?
  10. I have a foam canon that is about 16 months old for some reason as soon as I started using the red mega foam my canon is clogged. I called tech support they suggested boiling water with vinegar and soaking it which I have done twice with no success. Any ideas? And is there another brand that will outlive this one? I think I paid 125 for this thing and used it maybe 24 times (ouch)!
  11. I bought the new red soap sorry I believe its the ultra foam and my foam canon seems to clog with it? Any suggestions? Foam canon is barely a year old. Thank you!~
  12. Thank you I will take a picture and post it!
  13. What model of the E-Go blower are you using?
  14. I have no idea what to use here I have an Acura RDX that has black trim underneath the door frames, I am assuming waxing it probably isn't a good idea but I am at a total loss what to use to protect it? Thank you in advance!!
