Just ordered a bunch of stuff from your site after reading this thread. Thank you for all the info.
One question, I have mesh wheels as you can see in my Avatar. Is there something to spray on them and hose off that will clean them. I generally keep them very clean but some spots are a pain to get to. Thanks.

Need some help with some significant spider web cracking, and possibly the chip on the right of the images. I did a little polishing and it seemed to have gotten better, but does this look like it is under the clear? It sort of looks like it to me. Additionally, it wasn't me who let the paint get like that, merely the trouble with purchasing a used vehicle.

any suggestions on how to remove tiny specs of dust/sand embedded into my windshield from lots of highway driving on dessert roads?
when the windows are clean i can see tiny dots and the glass is not smooth when i run my finger across
can i use an aggressive clay bar and lube or would a glass cleaner alone work? which one would you suggest?

Whats up Greg! Im looking for a cleaner that is safe to use on my Rims. They have an anodized lip with super black chrome centers.
If you can get back to me with a recommended product, i will order today as i need something asap.
BTW....the Poorboys World S&W is THE BEST! Use it everyday when i get home for a quick cleaning. Love that stuff!

Ok so I am a nobb at this but here goes.
I washed my car and the paint feels very grainy, just like sand paper.
My google research has told me that I have to clay and polish the whole car. No big deal but I have never dont it before.
Any recommendations for a newbie? I know how to clay the car but what do I do after and what do I use? Do I wax after polish?

Thanks for reading and for shopping with us! For those wheels I would use your favorite wheel cleaner and the DI Brushes E-Z Detail Brush mini. It will help get in to those tight spaces and it's a gentle brush to work with. If you don't have a top notch wheel cleaner the SONAX Wheel Cleaner Full Effect is simply amazing. It's a pH neutral cleaner that is safe on all finishes and HIGHLY effective. Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be happy to help.

For the spot on the bottom right of the picture that looked like marks through the clear coat and paint, down to primer, which will need a repaint. As for the blotch that looks like horrific bird droppings on a hot day or something else very strong. I would try to wash and clay it to remove anything on the surface and then I would polish with the Meguiar's M105 and M205 to see if that helps. If it's helpful but doesn't remove it all you may need the assistance of a buffer for maximum results. If the polishes don't help then you will likely need a body shop's assistance. Hope this helps!

Glad to hear the Poorboy's World Spray & Wipe (S&W) is working so well it's a product I've been using for years!
