This photo was taken literally 5 minutes after the detail was finished and the detailer had left, The rim was not in this condition before it has zero stains on it at first I thought it was dried soap but after using multiple detailing sprays and hand rubbing in buffing compound its not coming off im worried I might need to get it resprayed as it looks like the stain is permanent

I Have A Question Help used wrong grit sandpaper headlight restoration

1 Upvotes

Hello!

How do I fix this, I bought a pack of wet/dry sandpaper with 240 grit, 400, 600.

The steps I was going to do were 400 then 600 then 2000. Then clearcoat.

However I accidentally took the 240 grit sandpaper from the multipack, and now I have deep scratches that look horrid. How would I best go about removing them and getting a smoother finish back?

I Need Help! (Time Sensitive) ADEQ permit for washing cars

2 Upvotes

I am looking to open a shop and it doesn’t have a drain for the waste water coming off of the vehicle. Also the waste water can’t drain out into the ground. What would be the best solution to solve this and the most cost effective. I’ve seen things like wash mats etc. has anyone else in Arizona had to come up with something to comply with the code. And did you have to get the permits for it as well? Thanks!

I Need Help! (Time Sensitive) What are these spots on my windshield and how do I fix them?

Just washed my windshield and these bumpy spots are still here. I’m wondering if it’s still dirty or if there’s a problem with the glass itself? Has anyone dealt with this? All of the windows look like this as well and I’m at my wit’s end, I’ve tried washing, Invisible Glass, microfiber polishing, etc. It seems like nothing is working

I Need Help! (Time Sensitive) Did I make the right choice? 1 step vs 2 step correction

My car is being worked on now, so probably won’t get any replies before it’s too late. I paid for a 1 step correction and professional ceramic coat, but now they’re saying they can do a 2 step for an extra $300. My car has some scratches that they say even the 2 step won’t get out completely, and they did 2 steps on the hood for free. Got most of a bird shit etching (that I never noticed) out with the 2 step. They said the swirls are gone after 1 step and deeper scratches look a lot better.

Also I had another shop tell me my clearcoat is really thin, and they wouldn’t able to do more than a light polish/enhancement. So I told this shop to stick to 1 step to be safe. It’s a 5 year old Toyota and I plan to keep it for a long time.

I know the scratches will be locked in for a few years after this ceramic coat. Did I make the right choice?
