I'll keep trying. Maybe I'll stop and get a new tire brush at wallyworld. A once over with the car shampoo isn't a bad idea after the wash is finished.
Use a brush like that one and it should work. Mine has the white bristles and when I've scrubbed a tire on the JL or the ZR2 the bristles are brown until I dunk it back into the tire/wheel bucket.
Oh yeah... make sure you have a separate bucket for your tire and wheel brushes.

I don't understand anything anymore.
Looking for advice on how to remove offroad pin striping. I used to just use scratch x on small areas, but my truck has quite a bit of it, and I want to get as much out as I can before lease turn-in.
I've got a DA, so that with what... Meg 105 or something? I don't care about the lasting paint quality obviously, I just want it to shine with minimal "scratches" (nothing is through the clear) when I return it.

My guess would be that Chris took some time off because he has read the dialogue on this page 1,345 times and decided to spend some of his free time doing something besides beating a horse to death.

Try the M105, if they're just light pinstripes it should get most of everything out.
You may need a heavier cut with M101, then finish with M105 if the 105 doesn't remove the stripes.
Danke
I don't have any severe stripes...I can't even feel any with my hands of even come close to catching with a fingernail. 105 should do it, I'll start there.

M101 will leave the finish slightly dull, so if you need to step up to M101 make sure you finish with M105 so when you get it into the sun all the panels are equally shiny.
Watch your pads too, don't use anything too aggressive.

Go as light as you can first and see how it works.
I use the Lake Country CCS pads and even on my totally screwed up Cherokee Trail Hawk I only needed to start with a white pad to see results, then finished with the black pad.
If the pad you have isn't cutting it (hah), step up in aggressiveness.
I'm in the cautious camp though and don't want to end up making 5 passes to correct me going too aggressive from the get go.

I'm going to say no and that you'd be better off with real touch up paint and polishing it down.
I did this with Dr. ColorChip on my C6GS for a nasty scratch. I build up the paint over the surface of the factory paint and used a bit of wet sanding and compound then polish to make it disappear.
I think that nail polish on a scratch is just going to make it look like a scratch you tried to hide, poorly.

I've got a scratch on the Volt I'd like to do with this.
Did you built it up gradually by filling and blending flat over and over or just blob on, let dry, wet sand, then cut/polish?

I did two applications so I didn't have any air in the blob. Then just add you said.

Very good. I need to try this. I've got about 4 applications on the scratch now, and I'm actually surprised how good it looks. Biggest thing now is just to bring the level even with the rest of the paint. A very slight blob let to dry and wet sanded would probably do the trick.

My dad's co-worker came over and he has a '17 base model and he got me all HYPE. He confirmed the 60-70 miles per charge even around the burbs where I live and work.

Timeframe has been pushed back a bit once learned that JL's will come in Sarge Green toward the end of the year. She wants to see one of those now before making a move.

Gotcha. Well I need to fix the truck to sell it for any reasonable amount of cash anyways so I'm not real worried. Plus I'd really rather take the Volt with me when I move over my truck. At 185k miles I have 100% confidence that the engine will remain a beast, but nothing else.
