Hi all, Have had this mark / blemish (sort of like orange peel) basically since I got the car 5+ years ago. The car is an Integra 95 VTi-R, and the paint was/is in excellent condition still. The mark was probably 3/4 the size when I got it, so its been very slow moving. Anyway, now I...

Hi all, Have seriously thought about buying a PC 7424XP, the only problem is I'm in Australia and no places seem to stock or even know about it here. Anyway, I can order it through different sites, but the postage itself is the same price as the PC (lol). My question is - is it worth that...

Hi.. have a simple 6 step process to get my car looking *bling*, and I think i'm going to finally get round to doing it. Anyway, this is whats planned: WASH - Megs Gold CLAY - Megs Clay (have a spare kit here so will just use that). COMPOUND - DACP FINE COMPOUND/POLISH - not sure here .. what...

Hey all.. I've been going to this detailer for a while - he's finish is excellent & he knows what he's doing. Anyway, I'm yet to have him repaint anything (he's knocked out dings & polished it).... he touched up some chips on my brothers WRX bonnet in a few small places, and its immaculate...

Has anyone tried these? I saw these at autopia and they were 20 bucks for 6 towels .. $3 a towel. Has anyone tried these? They look pretty good - just worried they'll be cheap cause they're so cheap! Might get a CBT for final buffing ... but use these for removing products.. But yeh if anyone...

Hey all... A friend of mine has been using this detailer, Jack, to do alot of his cars. His work is excellent - I've used him to knock out a few dents (PDR) and also to 'cut and polish' the car. Anyway I was talking to him today as I needed a few things done. The topic came up about using a...

Heya all... Finally getting round to giving my car a full detail, and so have to order the prod's.... I've used Meg's stuff in the past, and am very happy with it.,.. so for that reason I planned to use DACP as the compound. There are tons of swirls at the moment, and so I feel DACP's...

Heya all... Finally getting round to giving my car a full detail, and so have to order the prod's.... I've used Meg's stuff in the past, and am very happy with it.,.. so for that reason I planned to use DACP as the compound. At this stage I dont plan to use Poorboys SSR's. But yeh, this was...

Hey all.. I've got a bit of a problem .. I'm about do a full detail on my '95 Honda Integra Vti-r in a few weeks time... but, looking closely at the bonnet, there are a fair few (20 - 30) little chips where the white primer underneath can be seen. Basically the paint must be thinner on the...

Hey ... I just e-mailed Meg's here in Aus, asking where I could locate DACP..... Someone replied and told me "Andrew, you won't find by name, Dual Action / cleaner polish .It's now slightly improved & called SPEED GLAZE (M 8032 ) & used in the same application method.". Is this true??? Would...

Hey all.. Real quick question .... first - you know how alot of glazes etc. have fillers to cover swirl marks. If I applied say Meg's Machine Glaze with rotary (after using DACP), firstly would all the fillers be lost when I then apply AIO to the surface? secondly, when I've applied UPP to it...

Hey all.. Have seen these ones advertised on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2467039410&category=32053 - just wondered if that looks any good ... variable speed - but it doesnt actually say random orbit.... I also dont know if I could put the megs pads onto it...

Hey all... I noticed we've got quite a few meg's mirror glaze products here in Australia now ... never used it. Anyway, I saw #1, 2 & good ol 9 there.. I'm gonna get #9 swr for sure, but what is the DIFFERENCE between #1, 2 & 9? In terms of abrasiveness, results etc... which of these have...

Hey.. I know the old saying - good things no cheap ... cheap things no good. Lately I've seen (here in Aus) car shop places have advertised these 10" buffer/polishers - they say its random orbit....the speed is constant at 3000rpm. They're really cheap - about $25 AUS ($20US). Are they...

Hi. I posted a couple of weeks ago about the swirls I had on my Integra - just a question I'm sure someone will know, whats the best WAY to check for them? The only time I can ever see if there are swirls is in direct, hot sunlight.... then when its shining on the part of the car I can see...
