    Question for the Junkman

    Well yes... I would definitely agree with that! :2tu: The first thing you need to do is inform the dealership hacks not to put their crappy rotary polishers and wash mitts on it. They will probably try and make the car look presentable for delivery. That will be the worst thing that they can...

    Detailing Engine

    Go back and reread my suggestion. Not only did I specify exactly what to use it on, I specifically stated to use it on a toothbrush and to then use the toothbrush to clean the stubborn spots. Never did I ever suggest spraying the cleaner directly on a surface, as a matter of fact I stated to NOT...

    Who in this thread suggested putting brake cleaner on paint? :dunno:

    Detailing Engine

    You would have to polish the alternator to get rid of those spots. That's a Saturday in the garage with the alternator off the car and a Dremel tool if you want to do it right and have it turn out excellent looking. One can of In & Out Spray will last quite a while. You LIGHTLY mist the engine...

    Detailing Engine

    The only thing you want to use the brake cleaner on is metal, steel or aluminum. Never use high pressure water in the engine bay. You wash the engine down with car soap after treating it with the degreaser of your choice. Adam's APC is a good one as Eric pointed out. Always cover the...

    Detailing Engine

    I felt the same way when I first went to their site too. However, once I realized that that's how they are able to track what you buy so that you can receive a full refund if you don't like the product, I was cool with it. It is how the site works behind the scenes that makes registration...

    Detailing Engine

    Something I use on the engine for the really tough stubborn spots is brake cleaner and a toothbrush. You don't spray the cleaner directly on the engine, rather the tooth brush and scrub away. Of course you don't want to do this to painted parts or chrome, just to aluminum or metal parts. For...

    That's true to a point, but the PC definitely has its uses. A good detailer will NOT limit themselves to one polisher as one polisher does not address every situation. Also, once your paint has been fully corrected to perfection, you should not have a constant need an aggressive polisher like...

    The Hex-Logic pads are better at cutting and work best on a low powered polisher like the PC-7424XP. The Lake Country pads work better on the Flex and rotary polishers like the Makita 9227C. Adam's sells the Hex-Logic pads.

    Big detail job ahead. Need help!

    For the plastic parts, Adam's VRT is excellent when used very sparringly. If you cake it on, it will start to shine. The same goes for Mother's Back to Black. For the leather cleaning, The Adam's leather cleaner does an excellent job at cleaning leather but as for the dressing, all of the...

    Are you just dressing the interior or do you need to clean it too?

    Starting to work on my paint "ahhhhhhhh"

    Well you see, that's the way it is when everything you have is paid for and it takes about 10 hours of work to pay your bills each month. That means that I take Monday and Friday off and sometimes Wednesday's, sleep to noon stay up way past my bed time. Dave Ramsey taught me well. :D :2tu...

    Starting to work on my paint "ahhhhhhhh"

    Man, what are you waiting on to bring that puppy over here??? Okay, the weather has been crappy but we need to hook up again so that I can show you personally what that PC will do for your paint on YOUR car. You'll sell your golf clubs after seeing the results! Let me know if you want to hook up...

    Junkman's 2-Bucket Car Wash Technique

    You definitely need to watch the videos as I explain the part that you are missing in detail. The 2 buckets are not your ordinary empty buckets. They contain Grit Guards, which are the key to the design of why my 2-bucket wash technique works so effectively in protecting your finish from damage...

    Been here a while Eric! They even allowed me to post a picture of my Corvette! :rolaugh: Great bunch of guys here and I have had the pleasure of meeting a few of them. Eric even took me for a ride in his and it pulls like a raped ape! If I only had a few hundred thousand bucks laying around...

    Hood vent....error

    That's just going to attempt to cover the wax up and it won't do a good job at it. The best stuff for cleaning wax and polish is attention to it right away. If you allow it to sit on the cracks and crevices of the car for any period of time, you make it harder and harder to remove. Removing...

    I have buildup on my wheel and I cannot remove it

    He would know. I'll add this for anyone else who may be looking at this same dilemma. If brake cleaner doesn't remove the stain, stop while you're behind. Brake cleaner as MTGTS pointed out is some brutal stuff and will eat some substances away. That should be your last resort.
