The Official Car Care Thread

[Aaron 2NR]

That's why I said the v36. The v 32 is for horrid swirls

[GTcruzer]

Guys, got some grease stains on my matte paint recently & it's not coming off with the matte soap I'm using. Any ideas?

[silent_riot]

Pioneer I go take the SF4500 if yuh geein it way.

[trvs]

[M_2NR]

I saw u all mention chamois and drying towels. What about a water blade? Assuming you've washed the car properly.

[trvs]

Something touch less like the item below would always be safer than chamois, microfiber, water blade etc.

^ that would work similar to a blower, which you can use in your yard as well... L&DG has Toro blowers for $400.

[M_2NR]

Ah have meh blower that raptor sold also which is similar to it. Thanks

Thanks e2r. There is a video online that u can make a foam gun out of those too

Guys anyone know where I could get liquid glass* brand car wax locally? Also any other of there products

[M_2NR]

I'm considering adding a repository like what I did with the skybox thread but relevant to our purchases. For instance I got fed up looking for a certain item and ordered it on Amazon. Lo and behold it sitting on d shelf in xtra foods a week later.

Or do you all think its faster to just ask in the thread and someone will answer?

Power sellers will obviously get preference assuming they have products relevant to our needs

[trvs]

A repo would be nice.

I looking for Megs M205

[gastly369]

wayz ched gone dead since the move to classifieds

[cinco]

Hole da

[pioneer]

Anybody wha pick me up ah 8oz bottle of m205 by lubetech? (if they have, or know what it is)

They doe open on saturdays

[pioneer]

Guys if my car already has wax, and I want to remove the swirls I mentioned can I just use the m205 right away...

Or do I need to "cleanse" the paint, then polish?

[cinco]

2 schools of thoughts on that since the m205 should be abrasive enough to cut tru.
I woukd cleanse first so the m205 does heat up as much cutting tru old wax. Wash e arse wid dawn n get to wuk

[pioneer]

Yeah buh dawn go dry all meh rubber/plastic trim

I now readin this...see post #8

Pioneer i recommend you do the following;

1. Remove lose contaminants
2. Remove bonded contaminants
3. Check thickness of paint
4. Based on paint thickness use the least aggressive method for removing swirls
5. Chose pad and product combo and do a test spot to determine whether or not it is giving you the desired result.
6. Based on the above do the entire car while double checking your work
7. Clean pad or replace worn out pads
8. After removing swirls polish paint to restore luster
9. Apply wax or sealant to paint work
10. Dress trim, tires and clean up glass

Passed through Car Plus today. I should be banned from entering car care shops. I went for car wash and ended up with degreaser, autoglym washer fluid and glass polish and more.

Guys, what are your views on the Surf City Garage products?

Edit: ah do a search. Anyone still using it?

[Rainman]

I use the surf city bug and tar remover. It works pretty well.

[rusty_turbo]

Guys where can I get Mothers Clay Bar and Showtime detail spray to buy? Somewhere in central/east preferably thanks..

[M_2NR]

I think carplus might have. Give them a call.

[cinco]

Price club

[rusty_turbo]

Price club in chaguanas, the grocery? Any number for carplus?

[pioneer]

Passed through price club last weekend...they do a horrible job at keeping their shelves stocked with the good stuff.

[cinco]

Yes the grocery. I get my stuff there as needed.

Passed in the new branch in cocorite and it seemed well stocked. The building # is hilarious though.
