    If you were picking a convertible...

    I think its time to upgrade my TT with something a bit more fun. I've had it for the last three years and I may keep it for winter duty, I'm not sure yet. I've narrowed it down the BMW Z4 M roadster, Porsche Boxster S, Porsche 911 and the Honda S2000. So far, they are listed in my...

    Flex 3401 and Audi paint

    I've searched for a few opinions on the Flex 3401 results on Audi paint and I've seen a few different opinions. I'd like to get a few more though. I'm considering buying the Flex but I'll pass on it if I still have to sit there working all day to get the paint in decent shape on my Audi. Last...

    Audi polishing tips

    I've been searching here for tips on polishing Audis with a PC and have came up with a few tips but I am looking for a few more. I'm going to be trying out some 4" pads most likely. My Audi has been pretty frustrating so far with the paint. I've added some marring from washing I think. It is...

    2003 Audi TT

    2003 TT that I just bought a few weeks back. I had a blast driving to where I took the pictures as well. The car handles very well and I love listening to the turbo spool up. The car only has a coat of NXT on it here, I didn't have a chance to polish it yet. I'm thinking I'm going to have to...

    Audi TT

    I just picked up a 2003 Audi TT last week and I'm finally getting ready to get it cleaned up. I've been having a blast driving it, especially since I upgraded from a Ford Taurus. I'm looking for some suggestions on an interior dressing and a leather product. I'm assuming I would be able to...

    Used sports car?

    I've been trying to pick out a used sports car under $25K this last month. My problem so far has been that I live in Alaska and the selection has been terrible so far. So far the car at the top of my list is the Honda S2000 which has been really hard to find as well. I got to drive one and it...

    BMW 540i

    Has anyone ever had one of these before? There is a '98 540i for sale here that I've been considering. 6 speed manual, sport package, Dinan exhuast, air intake and engine software. 120,000+ miles on it though and I've spotted a few trouble areas already. I don't see any dents or anything though...

    First try with PC and DACP

    I just tried out DACP with my new PC for the first time last night. I've only worked on one half of the hood so far.. it already looks way better than what I could do with #7 and NXT by hand. I made about 4 passes with DACP so far and some spots had all of the swirls removed while they are still...

    Woolite mix

    When you're mixing it together with 6 parts water and 1 part woolite.. how would you do that? If I have a 32 oz spray bottle here.. about how much water and how much woolite should I put in? Heh.. I'm terrible with this kind of stuff.

    Is one waffleweave towel enough?

    I'm going to order my first set of microfiber towels pretty soon. I am planning on getting the "Excel Supreme Kit" from Excel Detail. It has 7 of their polishing towels, a sheepskin wash mitt that I really don't need, and one waffleweave towel for $30. The waffleweave is 32"x24" and has...

    When using a foam pad...

    How do you use a foam pad? Is it better to use it in straight, front to back motions? Or does it matter which way you use a foam pad as long as the surface of the car and the pad is clean? I'm guessing that its fine to use them to apply something like #7.. say using it to work it in to the...

    Taurus with #7, NXT

    The pictures arent all that great.. I took them about a week after using Meguiars #7 show car glaze and NXT tech wax. I really like the combo, although I haven't tried anything else on it yet. I just applied the same combo again this weekend. It was still holding up very well though from...

    Other orbital buffers than the PC

    I've seen a few other threads about this and I know what most people are going to say already.. "Get the PC". I only have my one car which has slight swirls which I would like to polish out. Has anyone ever used something like a Craftsman 6" orbital buffer to get swirls out before? The one I...
