Great thanks guys! Just get out there and try it, lol. It IS easy!

 

Thanks! I used Meguiar's Professional Wheel Brightener in a 4:1 dilution to remove the caked on brake dust. Just spray on and rinse 95% of the dust off. Then I used a small soft brush to remove the rest of it. At the end of the restore, I used Hydro on the wheels as shown in the video to protect them and remove any residual dust I may have missed during the wash.

 

It would be self defeating if I didn't mention that I'm a vendor/sponsor here.

Check out ShowCarSupplies.com Shopping Cart for the goods and ShowCarDetailing.com for my detailing discussion forum. You're not going to find any better support on polishing paint from any vendor than from me. I can guarantee that.

Very perceptive! I used a feature of the Flip called Magic Movie that kind of just pulls random sections of clips I like into a little montage. It's a VERY fast way for me to get content out there without spending a lot of time editing and making it perfect. However I also intended to have a full length version that will probably end up on Youreeeka Sell Video online, monetize online video content, Pay Per View video streaming, make money on the internet with online video a pay per view player. It won't be very expensive, but I haven't figured any of that out yet. I've been a member for the past year, but haven't uploaded anything, lol.

 

Haha

Thanks!!

 

I needed the gauge because I was removing a lot of paint to improve the very bad scratches on the trunk area. While most people would say the 7424 won't reduce the clearcoat thickness, to me, it does matter what you're polishing with. If you use Cut with a Yellow pad, you will be removing more paint than Swirl with an Orange or White pad. Foamed wool pads can also be used with a PC that will remove more paint than just foam. I'd say that if you're just using a white or orange pad with Swirl, you don't really need to be concerned with paint thickness, but anything more aggressive, it's not a bad idea to keep an eye on it.

As far as detailers who work by hand, they will never achieve the same results by hand as you could machine polishing. These guys rely on products with fillers and concealers to improve the finish. They probably use paste waxes too.
