Any of you guys have your pin stripes painted on from the dealer? I always thought mine was a sticker, so today I went to go remove them and it wouldn't budge at all. Anyways, how should I go about removing it without messing up my paint?

I had to buff one spot on my car near the trim and didn't think about taping it up at the time. So its a little dull and one part is little white'ish :wall I'm looking for a better trim restorer than this crap, Mothers BB. I see a lot of them, PoorBoys, Meguairs, Black WOW(expensive!)...etc...

I've only been using the Mother's Clay bars, but now I don't need the lube anymore since I have a few bottles already. The Mother's clay bars work great but I just don't need the lube with the "kit". I see there are a bunch of different "colors" of bars, what's the difference and what should...

Probably a dumb question but, I've seen this posted a few places but never knew what it meant...so what does it mean or purpose? :nixweiss

The 7424 says to "Use 5 inch Pad Only". Can I use 6.5in pads? What are the cons of doing so or not getting a 6" backing plate?

Ok just wanted to start a new thread since a lot of things changed... I have a 07 Civic and the paint/clear coat is soft. I have a light to medium swirls. So what pads should I get? Trying to stick with Meguiar too (local). I have #83 and #9 from previous. How does this look? 1. #83 on...

What polish/glaze should I be using on really soft type of paint? Trying to stick with Meguiar's too (local). I have #83 and #9 from previous. But some say #83 might be too harsh for soft paint? tia!

The paint/clear coat is really soft from what I hear/seems. I have a light to medium swirls. What pads should I get? Using this with a PC 7424. thanks! FORGOT TO ADD, only Lake Country pads, for now. I am going to pick these up locally and these are all they carry.

Not sure if this is a good spot for this post but feel free to move if necessary. I have a 07 Civic and the paint/clear coat is really soft from what I hear/seems. I have a light to medium swirls. So what pads should I get? Also what polish/glaze should I be using on this type of paint...

He is selling (2) for $100 each. They are brand new and never opened. Not sure what the going price is now at a reputable site, so just asking.

I'm in a need for some MF towels and wondering how these are? Made by MicroTex, 80/20...Did the 'test' with a new cd and it didn't scratch or anything. :help:

Can you apply polish even though there's already a coat of wax? Do I need to remove the wax then polish and wax again?

Been lurking here for awhile and just now signed up. Looking forward to learning and sharing :waxing: :woot:

I've been looking into a machine polisher for some time and ready to buy now, again. I have very light webbing/swirls and some very light scratches; all are mostly on the truck/hood for some reason... I've used the Porter-Cable 7424 before, but it's been awhile. I now see there is something...
