I used NXT on my truck. I have the NXT spray booster wax I use once a week. Question is can I use Quick Detailer on this in between, or that meant for Carnuaba wax only.

When using NXT on my black truck, it seems like the shine increases over a couple of days after application. Is this my imagination, or is this the curing process?

or, as I like to call it, the rolling Petri dish. Took two days, but I have it looking pretty good. It is solid black, and I now have a question. I used DACP with cutting pad, SFP with polishing pad, NXT (two coats), and topped with #26. When I pulled it out in the sun, on the hood there were...

Area wher ethe sun hits the dash in my Super Duty has become sticky. Nothing has been spilled on it so I assume it is the plastic off gassing and leaving a residue. Tried water with a MF towel and the towel just wanted to stick to it. Any suggetsion on s cleaner that will remove this and not...

Going to do an exterior on a friend of mines GMC extended cab pickup. He's an attorney, and I am going to do it as a freebie, #1 because he is a friend, and #2 because he works with other attorneys and could be a good source of referals. His truck is the champagne shade of silver. He said it has...

What's the best way to fix these. I guess they are from small rocks hitting the hood. Really small chips in the paint which is black, allowing white undercoat to show. It is pretty noticeable on a clean hood. Seems like everytime I try to use touch up paint it looks worse afterwards. Is there a...

I have 24. Bought two of the 12 packs at Sams. I don't want to wash them with anything else, and when I washed, dried, polished and waxed the truck I used most of them and washed them. But like today, I rinsed the truck and QD'd it. Used 4. SO what should I do with them until I get another load...

Wife's Sequoia is a solid black Limited. Between the body and the wheel flares is a rubber piece about 1/4 inch wide. How would you protect this during polish/wax. It's really to thin to tape. Do I have to do this area by hand only?

Yes or no? I have read both here. Alot seem to talk about using an orange cutting pad on theri cars, but I read somewhere here that a cutting pad will damage clear coat.Which is it?

Did the SuperDuty today with the PC, and started with the DACP. Lots of dust coming off this stuff. Is this normal or am I using it wrong? Did one panel at a time and worked it with the white pad until almost gone. Wasn't expecting it to dust like hazed cleaner wax. Then used #7 Show Car glaze...

Friend of mine brought his Saturn over today and was showing me a defect on his hood. The car is about 3 months old and has never been waxed. It has a spot (sorry, no camera with macron lense) on it that looks like bird crap or something sat on it. Best was I can describe it is that it is about...

This is for the Autopians who studied hydralics, or stayed at a Holiday Inn and know the answer. I have a 12 gallon 5 hp shop vac which is in like new condition ie has great suction. I want to lengthen the hose so I don't have to have it so close to the vehicle. I think it would be easier to use...

When using this with a PC, should you use the orange cutting pad or a white polishing pad, or does it depend on the condition of the paint. I have seenthe term "cutting" pad used over and over, yet have not heard this described. What exactly is "cutting'? Just a harsher polishing?

Anyone ever use one of htese things you can get at Walmart, sort of a rubbery chamois. Just wonder what the word on them is?

Did a search, and as they say "that's a little too much information" especially when it's contradictory. What is the proper way to care for these. Some say wash them in Dawn, then spin them dry. Others say just brush them off and stick them in an unsealed ziplock bag. It's all very very...
