Mystery stain on new Mercedes rim
Published (2009-11-21 12:35:00)
that doesn't look bad at all. Could be from brake dust, though it looks like dirty water spots. Try a little bit of diluted APC with a brush. You might need to clay it but i highly doubt it. Stain should come out fairly easy.

Published (2009-11-19 07:58:00)
Some dealerships use AutoInt/ValuGard, and that's not *bad* stuff. Stoddard used to use decent 3M products (dunno what they use now). As I've posted before, the dealer applied "lifetime sealants" (scare-quotes intentional) work out OK for some people I know; they get them for free as part of the new car bargaining and then actually insist that the dealer do the no-cost rejuvenation on a regular basis. Doesn't...

If the paint doesn't look fantastic before you put wax/sealant on there, its not going to get much better.

Have you priced what a new engine plus install is going to run? Its not going to be cheap. Cut your losses, not worth it. PS If you don't maintain your next car better, you will be in the same boat all over again becuase the Altima is a pretty reliable car to begin with , IF you maintain it.

Some people swear by using just water for claying, so they can get the right "bite"; I like to use car wash, others wouldn't touch clay-to-car without a dedicated lube. You just have to experiment and see what works for you.

Hmmm... What speed are you using? I'm thinking you need something with more correcting power than the Swirl Remover and maybe even a compound with a yellow pad. I use GlossHaus, and I'd probably have a pass with the medium compound/orange pad and see what that does, going to the aggressive compound/yellow pad if necessary.

Once you get the hang of it, you should be able to wash your car in 30 minutes or less. Just takes a couple uses to really get the process down.

I don't use 2 buckets when I wash my cars. Clients want it and like it so I do with their cars. With a microfiber mitt or mitts with a bunch of little stringy things coming off of it I find debri and dirt gets caught in there wheather you have 2 buckets or not.

I primered my eclipse YEARS ago flat black. Before it become cool to do so. I hated going places and people asking "when you gonna paint it"? IT IS PAINTED!!!!! Now its cool, I dig it, always have. It looks mean, I wanted to do it to my Ghia but I like messing with the paint too much LOL. Some of the cars now with these "paint jobs" are not painted, some are covered in vinyl.
