    Junkman's Wheel & Tire Maintenance Regiment

    I tried other products by Mother's but not that one. The main thing that I like about Optimum's product is that it is manufactured by them. They manufacture all of the chemicals that they sell. For me, that's a very important aspect as I know that I am not buying from a middle man. Make sure you...

    I agree. One block later, no rust.

    Junkman's Wheel & Tire Maintenance Regiment

    Funny you should mention that. As I was recording this, I looked down and thought to myself, "Where the hell is my valve stem???"

    Junkman's Wheel & Tire Maintenance Regiment

    Just like the title says, here's how the Junkman maintains his wheels. This is also how the Junkman reacts when a hot chick rolls past the garage.... :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8RjWsI7wyM

    Paint from a painted curb has rubbed onto my front chin -- please help!

    Well if you actually want to fix it yourself and you're gonna buy the stuff you need, let me know when you acquire everything and I'll direct you from there. It's not a hard fix but you have to address it right away or it will become permanent.

    Paint from a painted curb has rubbed onto my front chin -- please help!

    Only Meguiar's has a polish known as M9. No other company uses that labeling to name their polishes.

    Paint from a painted curb has rubbed onto my front chin -- please help!

    Perfect advice, except for the adhesive remover. That won't do crap in the situation. You ALWAYS start with the least aggressive method possible and in this case, CLAY is that method. You move up from that point if not successful. The quickest way to fix this problem is to buff the paint off the...

    Dusty Viper-What do you do?

    I have a dust cover that I use right after washing and I don't find it to be a hassle at all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWURKK06R8A

    Dusty Viper-What do you do?

    Yep, that's why I call wiping on a dirty car, 'making sandpaper'. No one here would take some 600 grit sandpaper and start wiping it across their car but that is in fact what they are doing when they take some quick detailer and a towel to a dirty or dusty car.

    Dusty Viper-What do you do?

    Thank you sir. But when you think about it, nothing I do is really rocket science, it's just plain ol' common sense when you stop and think about it. No hype, magic or smoke and mirrors, just simple logic. A lot of manufacturers will have you believe that you need everything they sell to...

    Dusty Viper-What do you do?

    That's actually one that I have not heard good things about. All CA Dusters are made by the same company. I haven't seen or heard of any knockoff's... yet. Get the one with the wooden handle. No, there is another option. LEAVE THE DUST ALONE! That's what I do. I break out my chair, shoot...

    Or, change the brand of detail spray that you're using. By the way, what were you using?

    Dusty Viper-What do you do?

    Not all detail sprays have this issue. I know for a fact that Zaino's Z6 does not have this issue. The problem that a lot of guys have is they don't know how to use a detail spray. One, you NEVER use a detail spray in direct sunlight or on a hot car. That's asking for issues. Two, you must use a...

    Dusty Viper-What do you do?

    You could always have a clear bra installed in that area but you'll be constantly replacing it. There's no remedy for that problem but not driving the car. That is NOT an option for me!

    Dusty Viper-What do you do?

    You have suggested the safest thing to do, although MOST folks won't do it. The repeat part is unnecessary but the safest way of removing ALL dust from a car is to PROPERLY (as in 2-bucket), wash it. Again, an excellent suggestion! This is what I usually do using my Air Force Master Blaster...

    Clear Bra

    When they are first installed, the lines are almost invisible. It's the lousy job that people do when taking care of them that causes the lines to show. Getting wax and polish under the edges of the film looks like azz. If you know how to properly care for them and stay away from the edges of...

    Junkman, Any advice for graduating from PC7424 to a Flex3401?

    ... and light paint correction, unless you're into removing more clear coat than necessary. Remember, you only have so much clear coat on your car.

    What towels/rags to use?

    All you needed was a $30 electric one from Sears. That's all I used for years. Gas powered blowers put oil and gas exhaust into the air while you're using them and guess where that stuff lands...

    I keep THREE of those on tap at all times. Best mitt I've used to date.

    Junkman's, The Mother of All "How to Fix Your Paint for Novices" Thread!

    Remember, baby steps. Rome wasn't taken in a day and you are not going to fix your car in the same time frame. Embrace the process and enjoy the time that you spend with your car. That's what I do. It's like making love to a beautiful woman. You just don't rush that kind of activity. Unless...

    Junkman, Any advice for graduating from PC7424 to a Flex3401?

    Okay, with that said, the Flex will do work somewhat faster than the PC. However, do NOT get the notion that you can get away with the same stuff that you got away with while using the PC. The Flex will remove paint off edges if the clear coat is thin in those areas. The Flex is also picky about...
