![]() wow! 95-850 wagon, you put my giant box of detailing stuff to shame. But, I don't have a clue to what I am doing. I just sing my arms like an ape and buy what I knock over.
![]() ![]() ![]() Not a huge fan of tire dressing. And I have 2 boxes of green tire tint (glitter) WTF! ![]() I think I am going to only buy Zymol as I run out o this stuff. ![]() ![]() The best way to find out how junky something is, is to post pics.

I'm using 3d products Final Touch detailer now. Love how slick Wizards was, but the shine is better with Final Touch.

![]() It's a PDX thing, that's 1 gallon of Llama conditioner/bong deodorizer, so it's not included in the overall quantity.

![]() To avoid creating a new thread, I figured I'd post here.
I'm getting ready to completely re-finish a set of BBS RS 740 (BMW Style 42), and would love to hear from folks who have already walked the path of wheel refurb. Best I can tell from the interwebz treasure trove of information, it seems most folks either use Jasco Premium Paint Stripper, Kleen Strip, or WM Barr Aircraft Paint Remover. Is there any practical difference between these, or any other strippers that have been successful for others here? ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() I've had the most success with the Aircraft Stripper. Nasty stuff though, no fun to work with. Protect yourself and work outside, it WILL burn your skin. A plastic scraper is good for peeling the clear off.
It's been a while since I've used it, but I seem to remember it being Tal-Strip at the time. I've got a jug of the Klean-Strip version on the shelf but haven't used it. It's going to be all about the sanding. Any polish you get will only be as good as your time spent sanding. Condition of the lips will determine how rough you need to start and how much work it will take to get things flat. Also you can only get so much of a polish by hand, once you're at the actual polishing stage. A buffing wheel makes a world of difference, and will get you a deeper shine than any hand rub or drill will. Bit of a learning curve but not bad. I paid like $35 for one from HF. |

![]() Thank you. That's the one that most folks (online) seem to say is best, with Jasco a close second.
I've heard either is pretty nasty stuff - no touchy the skin. Once the paint/clearcoat is stripped I'll dive into filing/sanding to see if I will need any filler (and go the paint route on the barrels) or if I think they will be good for polishing. Fingers crossed for polishing ![]() I'll be painting/clearcoating the centers. On that note, is Wurth's the best out there? I have seen folks using/recommending DupliColor as well.

I've used a handful of carpet cleaners, this stuff is my new favorite.

![]() Getting ready to do some painting of 240 dash pieces. Will be doing all black and I have always been fond of SEM paints.
My question is for those of you who have chosen either SATIN or FLAT BLACK. I don't want things too shiny of course. I see SEM offers a few blacks in their Color Coat for Plastic & Vinyl Flexible Coatings. http://www.tcpglobal.com/Automotive-...or-Card-Chart/ I see a Landau Black. Don't know what that is. Maybe it's their flat black, since I don't see a flat black in that product. Thanks, Dave B

![]() Ok, so it appears Landau Black is not a flat or matte black. Those pics look like it has more gloss than the satin black things I've sprayed. I have found one description saying Landau Black is suitable for vinyl tops.

![]() What would I use to clean up this unholy mess? All four doors look like this D:
![]() My neighbor, who used to paint show motorcycles for a living, said there used to be a degreaser/wax remover you could just pour over the paint and it would strip all that stuff clean without damaging the paint at all. I can't seem to find anything that is that easy... a lot of conflicting info. What do you guys use?

I'd use WD40 and a stiff bush to get most of that off, then Super Clean and a stiff brush with a good water rinse and compressed air blow dry. Don't forget to lube them again after you are done as you will have washed away all the lubricants. Spraying them with WD40 once a day for a week before you actually start trying to clean them will help also. |

![]() Anyone know of a good cleaner that can take off caked and baked on brake dust? I mean the kind of stuff that refuses to come off after serious scrubbing with a brush and whatever chemicals are in Meguiar's hot rims wheel cleaner.
