INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Open a bottle of white wine. Pour it liberally over the stain. Do so in order to neutralize the red wine’s pigments and possibly lift the stain out entirely. Of course, you may not have white wine on hand, or you may not be too keen to waste any more on top of what you spilled. In that case, pour distilled white vinegar over the stain instead. This will also weaken the red and purple pigments and, like the white wine, could possibly remove the stain on its own. This may be easier to do with a partner, so ask someone for help if you can. First, boil some water. Once it’s ready, hold your jeans over the sink and pull the stained area taut between your two hands. Then have your partner pour the water onto the stain from a height of roughly 12 inches (30 cm) to wash the stain out. Wear rubber gloves while doing this so you don’t scald your hands. With sparkling water, don’t worry about boiling it as you would with plain water. Also, don’t worry if it’s gone flat and lost its carbonation. Simply pour it over your jeans to lift some or all of the stain out. Pouring the liquids above works best on fresher stains, so if yours has already dried into your denim (or if you spilled a lot of wine over most of your jeans), don’t worry if that didn’t get the job all the way done. Fill a container with enough vinegar, white wine, or club soda to soak the stained area, and let your jeans sit in it until the stain fades. Don’t use boiled water to soak your jeans. Warm water can actually make the stain settle in faster if your jeans are just sitting in it.

SUMMARY: Neutralize the red wine with white wine. Do the same with white vinegar. Pour boiling water over the stain. Pour club soda over the stain. Soak large or dried stains.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Dirt spots look like dust in your paint job (which is exactly what they are). Sand them out with a very mild sandpaper; about 2000 grit should do. If you want to make the buffing process easier, you can go back over these sand scratches with an even finer 3000 grit sandpaper. It is not necessary to use the buffing compound on the entire paint job (unless it looks dull). You do need to use the compound, which is usually the first step in a multi-step buffing system, on any areas that you sanded. Buff lightly until you cannot see the sandpaper scratches anymore.  Be aware that moving the buffer too slowly, getting it caught in a corner, or buffing at too high a speed can result in burning or peeling off the paint. Clean off excess buffing solution with a mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol. Now that you are done painting and buffing, you have no need for keeping the wheels masked. When you unmask the wheel, check for any overspray that might have gotten on your wheel. If there is any, use a clay bar and lubricant to remove it. The polish will often come as a second step in a buffing system. Sometimes there is even a third step that promotes shine even further. Apply the polish with a buffer on low speeds with a soft foam pad and then wipe it away with a clean microfiber cloth. Do not use traditional wax or silicon on fresh paint. If you seal the paint it will not properly vent and this will cause bubbling and or cloudiness in your paint job.

SUMMARY:
Sand any dirt spots. Buff the scratches. Peel off any tape, plastic or paper remaining. Polish your wheel.
