    Gel Coat slightly dull after polishing

    Thanks for the response Mike. We will give it a try later this week and see what the results are. I may try a different compound/ Polish. I do like 3D. It just seems to take forever to get all the polish residue off.

    Usefulness of foaming a car

    I work on a wide variety of vehicles from farm equipment to 40 foot boats. A foam cannon is a lifesaver paired with the right soap. The foam loosens the grim allowing it to be lifted of the paint easier, and as Mike mentioned the foam helps with additional lubrication.

    Product for Tire browning

    Looking for product recommendations for removing the browning that occurs on tires. I currently use Meg's non acid wheel cleaner and it does ok.
