After a few years without riding I picked up a motorcycle again. :D Weather has been crappy so I figured I'd get the paint all polished and ready to go. Problem - heavy swirl marks and random scratches on rear seat cowl. Tank is not as bad, just a few random scratches (and now swirls from...

I'm about to embark on the Opti-Coat journey and just want to be clear on my steps. I'm planning on washing first, of course. Power clean 3:1 before drying. Then clay where needed. Optimum Hyper Compound and Polish to get as close to swirl/scratch free as I can. My question is, do I...

Hi guys, I'm detailing a black Subaru today... very unforgiving. I'm trying to get light swirl/wash marks the dealer installed. It looks like the combo of the white LC pad and OP is taking most of the swirls out. Problem is I'm introducing new little "fish eyes". I'm getting little rows...

Howdy, I haven't really posted much lately. We've been down to one car for the last couple years and it's a boring silver car. I just used whatever wax I could find handy(I know, sacrileage). however, I just got a new, black VW GTI and I want to get started early on keeping it looking...

Howdy all! I'm the greenest of greenhorns here (well, I know a teeny bit.) Anyway, I have some questions for anybody who can help me. Here's what I have now: 3M Perfect it 3M Imperial Hand Glaze Meguiar's #20 and #26 I'm looking to use what I already have (wife wont let me buy...
