After using two coats of Collinite 845 and then one coat of mothers wax I noticed that I could see where I had applied the wax when my car got dusty. I though it was just a one off deal but I noticed it on my other car that I had only applied the collinite on. Has anyone else seen this? What is...

I was just wondering what the real advantage of the APO60 is. I know it is a carnauba wax but it also has a slight cutting polish in it. Is it used mainly as a LSP to bring out even more shine then it needs to have a sealant applied? Maybe I am missing somethign but I don't see how it can be...

I have seen when people clean the rust off of the rotors using a wire brush but will a SOS pad work the same? I was also wondering if there is a way to protect the rotors? I have seen when some paint them but wouldn't that hurt the brake pads?

I was wondernig if these two products will work together very well since the Menzerna has a slight cutting agent added to the carnauba. From searching I have found that it is not advised to apply a carnauba before a sealant. I am planning on using the Super Finishe (PO106FA) on my new car and...

I will be picking up my new car later this week and have asked the dealer not to touch it. I plan on detailing it myself. It is a meteor grey S4 and I am hoping that I will not have to do any correction. My plan is below. Wash Clay bar Menzerna Super Finish with Uber green pad...

I am new to the whole detailing. I have a Flex xc and Menzerna polishes. I recently removed the swirl marks from my truck, which I was pleased with, and my father's truck without clear coat. On my truck without clear I tried small areas with different pad/polish combination. I found that my...

I am polishing my parents truck that does not have clear coat and I clayed the truck and performed my test sections. One with the Uber green / Meguiar's Show Car Glaze #7 and the other with the LC CSC Orange / Meguiar's Show Car Glaze #7. Found that the Orange/#7 produced the better shine. So...

I know this is not really the right forum for this but was not for sure where to put it. I want to detail my parent’s golf cart to get some practice and I was wondering what precautions I should take? Do I perform the steps just like doing a vehicle? The cart does not have swirl marks and it...

I just receive my flex XC and though I would post the results. I thought it turned our pretty well for my first attempt. My question is what is everyone's recommendation on what to do next? How do I maintain what I have done or improve on it? Do you finish polish and seal after so many...

I need to revive a 1991 chevy s10 that does not have a clear coat over the paint. Do I go about polisihing it the same way I would with a vehicle that has a clear coat? I have the flex XC and Menzerna Power Gloss, Power Finish, and Menzerna Super Finish. Would I start out with the power...

Do any of you know if there is a place around the OP or KC area that I could pick up a buffing pad, or other supplies if needed in a hurry for my flex xc? I wanted to see if there is another option besides online if I only need 1 or two small items?
