How to clean your wheels and tires - elapsed time video

Figured this would be a good one to post up - just an elapsed time video of how we do wheels at the shop.

I have a cigarette burn on my hood. Managed to remove the most of it but still has yellow spot the size of a pinky nail. What whould you recommend to clean it up? Car is satin white pearl

DetailersDomain · 07-27-2013, 10:37 AM

did you use any compound or polish yet?

NamSin · 07-27-2013, 11:58 AM

Not yet. Just hand washed and a bit of elbow grease with a micro fibre towel. I can catch my nail on the stain but not sure if its protruding or if its the clearcoat thats dented / burned in. I whould like to start with least abrasive option and work my way up. Google search found forum where they recommended Autoglym Super Resin Polish.

ps - checked the spot in better light and the bumps I feel is where the clear coat is bubbling a bit from the heat

DetailersDomain · 07-27-2013, 08:12 PM

is it an actual cigarette burn do you have a go pic of it?

NamSin · 07-28-2013, 03:12 AM

second picture shows the pitting

DetailersDomain · 07-28-2013, 09:17 AM

I would try a polish or compound. Do you have anything on hand?

NamSin · 07-28-2013, 10:00 AM

no, but will pick something up during the week.

DetailersDomain · 07-28-2013, 10:00 AM

ok sure thing let me know how it goes.

Hey Phil,

I finished debadging the "FRS" from the trunk and from certain angles you can still make out the "FRS" from, I assume, the adhesive residue. I have tried a bug and tar remover and the trunk surface feels smooth to the touch. What can you recommend for this? Thanks brotha!!

Finally a Well Deserved Cleaning

Foam Gun and Auto Finesse Avalanche Foam Wash are Superb!

What is the best way to clean tinted windows. Whenever I clean it, it always look cloudy to me. Any recommendations on products to use?
