    scootertrash19 reacted to AvsBest in paint correction blues   
    Other than what Chris said, I'd just suggest that you slow your movement right down in the 2X2 section. Let's say it took you 1 minute to do 1 pass, make it 2 minute and so on as long as you don't hold it in one spot. You can also put a tad more pressure on the machine while holding it, it may help.
     
    I learnt from my PC days that slower is faster. I found myself to be going to fast on bigger vehicles, probably because I don't wanna spend 3 days correcting paint on a single vehicle lol

    Yes you can. However, Dawn supposedly will harm rubber trim over time. take that for what it's worth. I have used it in the past without issue. I think as much as we treat our rubber it is not a problem IMO.

    If that does not work, then you will probably have to machine polish them with PCP.

    scootertrash19 reacted to Rich in Tire shop dressing   
    My biggest worry is that they don't know how to jack up the Vette correctly, but I found a shop that knows what to do.  So for all my rides, that's the only shop I use.  Never had them put anything on the tires other than the sealant.

    Roll up folks! Scientists have found water on Mars.
     
    We are planning a mission to establish the very first detailing base on the red planet. Detailing experience with Adams Polishes is necessary.
     
    Forget your Bugatti Veyron's and Pagani's, now is your chance to work on true multi billion dollar vehicles!
     
    The USA led mission uses the best technology and needs the best products that are made in the USA to keep that red dust at bay.
     
    Launch scheduled October 21st, 2023.

    A few tricks to using SVRT on a tonneau... You have to clean it extremely well before applying it that way it all soaks in. Apply the SVRT, wait a little while and then wipe it down very thoroughly with a utility towel or two. This will soak up excess.
     
    If you fail to do this, it greatly increases the chance that the SVRT will run down the sides of the bed when it rains. Has happened to me on more than one occasion and its a pain to get off.

    Should be a big seller for GM.
     
    Mid sized truck, with fuel economy and torque that diesel engines provide.
     
    GM has used this combination before, just not in the USA.

    I would definitely avoid the emblem with the Cyclo brushes.  Spray with the Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner and wipe clean with a towel.

    Another technique - use thin MF towels with Adam's Car Wash Shampoo or Rinseless.  Pre-treat the area with Waterless Wash, and soak thin MF towels in the wash bucket.  Wring them out a little, but still slightly wet, then place them over the 'bug-y' area (in your case place at much of the towel on the vertical panel as possible, then the rest on the bottom of the fascia).  Leave them in place for 5-10 minutes, remove them, and clean the area with you usual wash mitt.
     
     
    I have been able to clean our love bugs with this method.  The best part it is leaves your protection in place.

    Just for fun, last night I applied Brilliant Glaze and some Americana. I'd say it was worth the effort. Even old, dead paint can look great.
