Guys how do I remove light scratches from chrome accessories ? like on the side mirrors ?

I have the same problem with a grill and from what I read, there nothing really you can do. Those things aren't really metal just plastic with a thin chrome plating. You can try a plastic polish and it might help.

My grill and plating beyond help so I doh beatup over it

kool man.... Mine not that bad lol I guess I guh live with it

oh geed

Looks like it working well!
You had any of those water spots on your seats like when the condensation on a cup/bottle drip on the seats? Was it able to remove those with ease?

[r3iXmann]

Yup. Removed them with ease. Even took out some spilled choc nut. Oil stains required a little effort but they came out eventually. I wanna order the crevice tool and the stain removal formula to make life easier

[NR8]

So the stains removed were without use of the formula? That thing working good!

[Ted_v2]

That working bess. I really needs one. How much did it cost ya?

Just use Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner same way you would use the formula

[Karim Khan]

Guys i would strongly advise against using any machine that injects any type of liquid into your headliner. The headliner is held up with an adhesive. Using to much of any liquid may compromise the adhesive and cause the liner to eventually separate and fall. You are safer using it on seats and flooring EXCEPT components that are made of Alcantara and suede. These materials are very sensitive to high amount of moisture.

Ah upholstery man tell me lightly spray the area with whatever chemical then use microfighter cloths to wipe away the grime

Yeh?

[Karim Khan]

If you really have to, spray the chemical on the MicroFighters, and let that do all the fighting for you. Less moisture is better.

[pioneer]

Or a steam cleaner to loosen dirt then wipe microfighter with chemical?...then follow up with a dry clean microfighter?

[GoS]

where can i get one a those locally to buy

[pioneer]

Raptor

[aidan]

Got a gallon of megs apc today.

no no..i used the formula, but there's another one for 'tough stains'

That working bess. I really needs one. How much did it cost ya?

about 600 to purchase and 350 to land/clear

the machine doesn't "inject" any liquid into the material...you manually have to spray the amount of liquid that you desire. there's a trigger on the handle

[Karim Khan]

^^^ Ok cool

[cinco]

EFF YOU RAIN




just decided to go down stairs and take a pic
this is how the hood looks now still looks freshly washed

[Aaron 2NR]

[Aaron 2NR]

[pioneer]

Steupsss lol

Massy do me worse already...thaz small ting

[cinco]

Nope was some courtesy first service crap...

take it back to them and let them pay karim to do it for you

[Aaron 2NR]

I think unless you are aware of what a proper detail looks like etc you may not see anything wrong with it.

The vehicle surface wasn't bad but was due for a maintenance so I'd just get it done one time

[Karim Khan]

^^^ lol, Actually i have fixed a lot of Sterling work in the pass already.

Sorry to see that happened to you bro. When i carry my vehicle to service i out a little sticky note on the dash saying "Dont Wash" . Sometimes the company wash/ detailing is not always the best.

[Aaron 2NR]

^ u remember you came the weekend we got the car to detail lol

[pioneer]

Car companies world wide suck ass at that...the "detailer" is just told to "make it look good"
