Guys, in my not so short detailing career I've reached a point where I don't know what to dig out.
A friend brought his Impreza STi to me to remove some etching from the surface. The car is generaly in good shape and he is reasonably anal about car care - with the minor exception that he...
Well, older forum members remember the times when HTEC/HTEC+ was one of the great aggressive compounds. Since then, HiTemp has rolled out the HT-460 Supersonic Cutting Cream. Does anyone have any experience with it?
I liked the HT-420 because it was one of the earliest microabrasive compounds...

Can they *stop* (at least visually) paint checking?
I’ve never thought that this little adventure will be such a worthy observation.
Lately, I was bored and decided to play around with my polishes and LSPs. The weather was quite fine (around16°C), so I started with an ONR wash’n clay. I pulled out my Scholl waxes as I’m...
