Hey all, As I've grown more and more comfortable using my PC and Meguiar's pads, I am ready to add a new polish to my lineup since my #80 is running out. What would you suggest for a polish that is easy to apply/remove and maybe a little more aggressive to take out swirls on my BMW clear. I...

Hey guys, I plan to use ColorX with a white polish pad, but what speed should I put the machine at. Also, should I work in the ColorX as if it was a polish or should I simply glaze over the surface and not really work it in all that much like I would for a wax? Thanks!

Anyone offer car washing services in North Jersey (Bergen County)??? If not, does anyone know a good hand wash place in the area? I was considering Celebrity Auto Spa in Paramus. What do you think?

and nothing seems to fix my scuffed up clear plastic that is on my HU read-out.... In fact it seems to only be getting worse regardless of how or what I apply it with. These scuffs can only be seen in direct sunlight and at a certain angle (like from my driver's seat!), but they are a horrific...

I had some scuffs on the soft plastic of my Lexus OEM radio so I decided to use some PlastX on it to buff out the scratches. Needless, to say... it removed the scratches, but added all new light hairline scuffs. I applied the product with a blue Viking microfiber (labeled as Viking drying...

before I can detail a panel that was partially repainted due to some body work that was done on it? Summer is around the corner and my car needs some help with swirls... So what should I do?

Hi, Im looking for a window tint shop in Northern NJ that does great work on high-end cars. I gave a call to "Top of the Line" tinting in Lodi, NJ on Rt. 46 and was quoted for $275 for the 4 sides and 1 rear window @ 35%. Was this reasonable or was this a crazy quote?

I recently spoke with a pro detailer and he told me that he uses a 3-step process on the paint. 1. Swirl Remover, 2. Polish/Glaze 3. Wax... However, he mentioned to me that he does this all by hand. From what I have read, it is extremely difficult to REMORE swirls simply by hand and that a...

Anyone have experience with this place? They offer a variety of detailing services, including hand car washes for a good price. I dont have much time to do it myself, so Im looking for a great place that will take the best care of my car. New Look Hand Wash in Rochelle Park is the pits...

Can anybody recommend this mobile detailer? Seems to have great prices, but I just wasn't sure of their quality of work. I am looking to detail my dark blue Lexus IS that is only 4 mos old, but has a good amount of swirling already. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

and now I'm stuck with cloudiness on the paint where I sprayed the Turtle Wax bug and tar remover.... :scared: Is this anything that I should be concerned about? I would take it for a wash, buts its going to rain on and off all week. The rain yesterday did not wash away the cloudiness I...

So Im sitting at a red light while the snow continues to come down in Northern NJ... and what do I see come up along side of me???? A HUGE SALT truck... I was trapped and couldn't move... you would think that he'd turn off the salt sprayer but nope... my 2 month old car got blasted with that...

Is it safe to use a QD like EO Spray and Wipe after running through a touchless car wash??? I ran my dark blue car through one yesterday and can now see tons of smears and streaks all over the vertical panels... Would it be safe to use a QD to remove these bady boys or is it going to induce...

We all know that each of these sealants are very similar in what they do... but if you had the choice of any of the 3... which would you choose if looking for a high-gloss shine on a car thats brand new? I was leaning towards NXT for a bit due to its availability and great reviews regarding...

Anyone ever try to do this??? I was sitting around cleaning my sunglasses with a cleanser/cloth set that I purchased at Sunglass Hut and thought that it might be a good way to clean my instrument cluster... since it doesn't seem to scratch the sunglass lenses, would it be safe to use on my...
