    Question on cleaning 3M clear guard

    The main reason that I bring it up is I wouldn't want Simple Green to start peeling the edges of the clear bra up. We all understand how undesirable that would be. The second reason that I bring it up is that if it is that bad for aluminum, it must also be bad for your paint. That's why I...

    Question on cleaning 3M clear guard

    This is from the Simple Green website, not my words or any other third party. If it is this bad for aluminum, I don't want it on my paint or clear bra at all. Aluminum - Is it safe to use Simple Green® on aluminum? When used with caution and according to the instructions, Simple Green...

    Question on cleaning 3M clear guard

    Simply Green has the capability to pit aluminum. It was also found to be the reason military a Blackhawk was brought down because it was left on the engine too long. I definitely wouldn't use it on that film.

    Question on cleaning 3M clear guard

    The 3M Clear Bra can actually be polished clean with a very light polish, such as Meguiar's M205 (from their Mirror Glaze line). The secret is (and you MUST ensure this), is that what you have on your car is actually a 3M product. That is the only clear bra product that I can speak for. Other...

    The Junkman's Minor Scratch Removal on a Lamborghini Murcielago

    A bump for those requesting advanced scratch repair. Remember, you don't have to use the same products that I used, many others will work. You just have to use something equal or better. For example, Meguiar's M105 and M205 are a great replacement for the polishes that I used (I use them often...

    How to Repair Bird Poop Etching Damage - The Video!

    This video is a second take on my initial bird dropping/love bug etching video. In this video, I actually experience bird poop etching damage on a unprotected panel. I go through the same process that I did in my first video on this subject and repair the damage. The main thing that you...

    Junkman, waterspot question

    Washing your car properly will eliminate any damage being created during the wash process. I wash mine in every direction there is and I don't create any damage either. Of course, the 2-bucket method that I use and have posted here is pretty much a guaranteed way to avoid any damage during the...

    Junkman, waterspot question

    No cigars here, the smell wreaks havoc on my sinuses. I didn't realize that Cuba was off limits to US citizens. I had this hot Cuban babe almost talk me into going over there with her to visit her family. Once I found out is was off limits, I decided to keep my chocolate butt here in the USA...

    Junkman, waterspot question

    I was under the impression that M105 & M205 did not contain any fillers. That what I read somewhere on MOL, unless the poster was mistaken. Are you 100% on that info? Yes, I am the same Junkman. Thanks for the compliment. I do realize that some of the professional detailers assist with the...

    Is this the most shine I'll get with clearcoated 5 spokes?

    The only polish out of what you already have that you should use is the Fine Machine Polish, especially if they already look good and are not scratched up. There is no need to use anything more aggressive if that is the case.

    Is this the most shine I'll get with clearcoated 5 spokes?

    Bingo. There is no secret to making clear coated wheels shine, you polish them just as you polish paint. No difference and you protect them with wax just as you would paint. If you excel at polishing, you can make them look damn good.

    Holy Crap Tree Sap!!! HELP!!! ---

    Actually, we are in agreement with a product like 3M adhesive remover. That's a good product and it works when used for what it was manufactured. We also agree with a case of improper use. Some products do get a bad name because they are used incorrectly (i.e. the California Duster). For...

    Holy Crap Tree Sap!!! HELP!!! ---

    That's actually some of the worst advice you can give for this situation. See the first video I posted as I go into extensive detail as to why you don't want to do that or use that kind of product.

    Holy Crap Tree Sap!!! HELP!!! ---

    Well if you think about it logically, you clay your entire car in order to remove impurities from the clear coat. That's a lot bigger than a dime! It's the clay that actually pulls anything that is not clear coat out of the clear coat. The size has nothing to do with it. Some of what you are...

    I just did a video production on how to fix this issue. So far, only 01sapphirebob has nailed part of the solution. As soon as I get the video edited and uploaded, I'll post it in this thread.

    Junkman, waterspot question

    Again, I have no capability of knowing how good your buffing technique is by reading your post. Thus, I would never recommend that you get a wool pad and use it on your paint. As I said before, your technique could be flawed and once corrected, could end up resolving your issues. What I suggest...

    Junkman, waterspot question

    The water spots didn't reappear, they didn't go anywhere to begin with. They may have lessened some but they were still there all along. Whatever light source that you recently used to see these water spots is what you should have used to check for them while you were working on them. I have...

    black viper gts paint cleanup with Adam's

    If your fingernail doesn't catch, then they will need to be wet sanded out. Now notice that I didn't say that YOU should wet sand them out because I'm not that careless. I'm just offering what will resolve the issue. I have a thread posted that shows how I do it.
