I ordered Menzena IP and used it on my 2003 4runner with great results followed by Klasse SG, I got rid of most swirl marks and the truck looks great even after a few rain showers. Now, my question is, how often can I use Menzerna IP without compromising the clearcoat or damaging the paint in...

I am planning on working on my swirls tomorrow, this is what I will do: 1-wash 2-clay 3-Menzerna IP with PC 4-Klasse SG Now my question is which pad should I use? I ordered three pads from "buff and shine"(yellow, white and dark grey). Yellow I believe is the most coarse one, and grey the...

I ordered two SONUS Der Wunder Mitts from Autopia and I was wondering if anyone has used them before. I heard more positive comments about sheepskin mitts than these kind of mitts and would like to know from people who has them how they are before I put them to use this weekend. Thanks for your...

Since joining this forum, my vehicles look better and better every day. Thanks to all for your expert advices. My dilema is as follows: I have a 2003 4runner with swirl marks that you can see only with a bright light by looking at the paint from a certain angle. Not bad at all. I got some...

First of all, let me thank all the great members in this forum who took their time to read my posts and give me such invaluable advice, I really appreciate it. I've learned a lot of things in this forum about detailing and now I enjoy even more doing my cars. Although I am not a professional...

What's your opinion about using PI III MG for regular detailing on my 03' 4Runner? The wet look was really nice, it gave the paint a deeper richer look, but since it is a mild abrasive, it would not be such a good idea. How frequent should I use this glaze?:doh

What polymer sealants do you recommend, where can you find them in the NY area and how to use them? Thanks...

I went to an auto parts store near my house that sells 3M products and got Perfect It III Machine Glaze to see if I could get rid of some fine swirl marks. I used my Porter Cable, it came off easy, after that I used some S100 paste wax. The truck looks good but I heard that this particular glaze...
