    Arghhhhhhhh!!! Messed up, now need to re-polish :( How often is too often?

    Well I made one of the biggest boneheaded mistakes last night, when I ONR'd my car in the garage with minimal lighting. Apparently one of my drying towels caught some kind of debrit in them and I ended up swirling the hell out of the entire car Didn't even notice until I went to the gas station...

    Project: Restore 1997 Acura Flamenco Black Pearl *56k wait a leap year

    My first time with a pc (or any machine for that matter) so I thought I'd share. A little background on the car. Was ordered and purchased new in 97 by my parents and had a 'triple clear coat' dealer option sprayed on the car before delivery. Car was basically neglected and washed once a...

    OMFG neighborhood cats messing up my paint!!!

    Well my place doesn't have a garage, but I do have a covered carport. Only problem is, there are ample stray cats that roam the neighborhood (never seems to be a lack of abundance of them) and every freaking night, no matter if the car is dirty or freshly detailed, I come out the next morning...

    Claymagic'd the old black acura today...white spots on paint everywhere?

    Today I clay bar'd my entire car with the Claymagic and supplied detailing spray (1997 acura cl with original flamenco black pearl paint), and had some interesting discoveries after claying/thoroughly drying off each section. This car has never been machine detailed nor 'truly polished' in its...

    Would this car inverter suffice to power my pc for a full detailing session

    VECTOR 500/1000 watt DC to AC Car Power Inverter w/case - eBay (item 130210711737 end time Apr-06-08 18:10:12 PDT) Just curious if that would suffice to power a 7424 for a full day's detailing (I'd probably leave the car idleing quite a bit just to be on the safe side to protect my optima red...

    Best cutting polish for first time PC'er on older, soft black acura paint?

    Ok, just need some final opinions before I make my first product purchase for my pc (used in conjuction with lcc pads). I've heard so many varying opinions on this, but the consensus seems to say that optimum polish and compound are both better suited for rotarys, and to stay away from them if...

    Flamenco black pearl 97 Acura CL NXT results

    I've just started using NXT about 3 weeks ago, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed how well it brings out the color/depth in black. Unfortunately I still haven't purchased a PC yet to experience some 'real' detailing results, but the following were taken with meguiars #7 pure polish followed...

    N00b looking to get into the PC game, suggestions please

    Hello all, Well I've decided to finally take the plunge into the world of PC's after years of polish/wax hand applications and not being able to remove swirl marks. I have a budget of approximately 200 dollars, and do not want to go over this as much as possible. I recently acquired a...

    Newcomer...pics of my blah accord

    Hi all...new to the forum...but been a lurker for awhile now. Love this place. I, however, am still stuck in the Paleolithic era, and have been detailing my vehicles by hand since I got my license back in '95. I guess I'm just too complacent with cramps constant bodily abuse...but I was...
