I've got some hazy, slightly dull, slightly scratched chrome that my various chrome polishes are not clearing up. What's the secret to working chrome?

So I bring my brand new motorcycle home last night and my buddy comes over to check it out. I had just got done riding it, so the pipes were nice and hot. These are $600 Arlen Ness pipes as well. He's wearing running pants. He sits on the bike and before I can even blink, he's burned a hole...

I did this detail around Christmas time but just now got around to getting the pictures put up. The color is Machine Silver Metallic and the car was in excellent shape, but had never been polished before. It had Z2Pro on it previously, but I wanted to try something new. My process was quite...

So apparently I'm the only one, but I have kind of a hard time getting 425 to cooperate with me. I am a QD junky, I have used them all, so I don't think it's my method, but maybe there is a secret that I am not aware of. I am using it over carnaubas mostly (Pink Wax on my black...

Has anybody tried this yet? I have some of the Speed Detailer I need to use up but I'm wanting to top my AJ with a carnauba to help with some of the minor scratches until I have time to repolish it. Intuition tells me the two won't work too well together. I can see the Speed Detailer...

One car wash, one polish, one sealant, one glaze, one wax, one QD, etc. to use regardless of car color or other factors. Car wash: PB's SS&S Polish (abrasive): Menzerna FPII Polish(chemical): AIO/Prime Glaze: RMG Sealant: EX-P (under the premise of topping with carnauba... otherwise...

Please? Heck, ship 'em out to me with no labels, I don't care! :getdown

I know it can be mixed as a QD but I was wondering if any of the members who have experience with this product have a suggestion for which dullution to use for best results as a waterless wash (a la S&W).

I have kind of moved away from working on other peoples cars and focused most of my attention on my car, my new home and my new job. Having done so, I have much more time to focus only on my cars and their paint condition. Now, my silver Z06 will always either have Z2Pro or UPP (which it has...

These two seem like the two wheel cleaners I'd most likely use on a somewhat regular basis (twice a month or so) because I feel they are pretty safe. Has anyone used both and how do you think they compare? I have only used the P21S and A2Z. Thanks.

I am a QD junky... I love them and have tried almost all of them that are still available. I QD my car almost every day because it's so easy and enjoyable to me. I probably have close to 25 different detail sprays and although I only use a handful frequently, I like having them all for when I...

This was the first product I had tried from the Griot's line and I must say I was quite skeptical prior to useage. I only ordered the smaller 8 oz. size and it has a very fine mist spray pump type nozzle on it which is perfect for my application. I used it on the gas tank (okay it's actually...

This stuff rocks. I recently polished my car with Menzerna FPII, applied an acyrlic base with Jeff's Werkstatt Prime, and applied one layer of Acrylic Jett (version 2 method). I had intended last night to add another layer of AJ, but I was in a lazy mood and didn't feel like fighting with its...

I am going to add my second layer of AJ this evening and am going to wash with QEW beforehand to remove dust accumulation from two days worth of driving. I was wonderingg if I could go straight from QEW to AJ (spray method) or if it would be wise to hit the car with Acyrlic Glos prior to sealing.

When I run out of Z-10 (which has long been my go-to conditioner) I am thinking of giving the Leather Care from Griot's a try just for curiosity's sake. Looking back at some old posts, it seems a lot of people really like it, and it may just be cost effective because from what I have read, a...

This are quickly becoming my favorite MF towel. They are larger than the Pakshak Ultra Plushes (and cheaper) and can be bought locally. They have the nice border like the Pakshak towels and are plush on both sides whereas the Ultras are super plush on one side and fine on the other. Since I...

I say "now" but for all I know it has been out for a while. I was just browsing through their website and saw it the other night and thought to myself that I hadn't heard anything about it here on the forum. I know what the general consensus about Griot's stuff is (for the most part), but I...

I decided to redo my GTO this evening and went ahead and clayed it and got it ready for polishing. I was using Propel 4" pads on the trouble areas (trunk lid/spoiler) and using their orange (light cutting) pad with Menzerna IP and then their green (polishing pad) with P0106FF. The marks are...

I've got swirl marks on the gas tank (well, it's really an airbox cover) on my Harley V-Rod and there's no way I'm going to try to take a PC to it, even with 4" pads... It's just way too contoured. I have some of the little handheld "German" pads from Autogeek that have orange pad on one side...

I noticed while glancing through an old Griot's handbook and laughing at their ridiculously high prices that a 35 ounce (not sure why it's not just 32 oz.) bottle of their Speed Shine was only 10 bucks plus almost three dollars for a spray nozzle :nervous: That's not a bad price for 35 ounces...
