A friend of mine was admiring the finish on my car and asked me to detail his brand new green Ridgeline. The paint looks great(no obvious swirls etc). I just plan on detailing the inside/claying the paint/polishing with PWs w/white or gray LC pad/ and waxing with NXT. Also I'll use trim...

After a ton of trial and error(mostly ERROR)...here are the results of my PC odyssey. Pics aren't that great, but you get the idea.

I have a bottle of PP and I'm not sure what it actually does. I used SSr2.5/SSR1/ and Pws to detail my car. When(if at all) would I use PP in the detail process?

I've got dried wax on some of my trim. It's been on since before winter....How do I remove it? I just used PBs trim restorer and the wax shows right thru it. I put the PBs on with a foam brush, I didn't scrub the wax spots.

I hurried to finish up my wax job....and wiped the wax from my hood(Meguiars NXT) before it was completely dry. Now I can see a few faint smudge lines in the finish. I've since used AW on the hood also. Am I better off stripping the wax from the hood and starting over or can I get rid of the...

Is it okay to use DG FC&S detailer spray on my rims? Does it remove PB wheel wax?

Tomorrow I going to finish polishing the rest of my car, but I need some last minute advice. I'm going to try a 'jeweling' step mentioned on AG. It involves using (in my case) SSR1/gray pad on speed 6. I'm currently polishing using these steps: SSr2.5/white LC pad SSR1/white pad PWs/white...

I tried a few combos of pads/polishes today to get rid of the hazing and.......Voila! it's gone(on one panel at least). What I did was polish the car inside my portable car garage with a 500w halogen light shining on the finish. It was a tight fit with me and the car in the garage, but well...

Since I'm still struggling to get rid of some micromarring/hazing, I'm looking for a wax/sealant that gives a warm/wet look to black paint and that also helps hides the hazing. I'm currently using DG #104 and do like it alot, but it doesn't seem to hide imperfections as well as I'd like.

It's gonna be sunny and 45 degrees here on Monday...so it's time to try to get rid of my micromarring once and for all. If you read some of my previous posts, I caused the marring removing swirls using PB SSR2.5 etc. It was my first time using a PC. My car is black which doesn't help...

Well sort of...I polished a small strip on my trunk lid before I applied the MUSTANG lettering. I used SSR1 white pad, then PP with gray LC pad. Worked pretty darn well. Won't be able to do the rest of the car til spring, but it gives me hope now. Here's a pic of new taillight trim and...

Pws has a sealant in it...after polishing with the PWs can I use the DG bonding agent and #105? Or do I have to wash with Dawn to strip the sealant first?

What can I use to get the adhesive/rubber residue off my rims? It's pretty thick. The wheel weights were moved from one spot to another to balance my wheels and the idiots at the dealership just snipped off the old weights and left the rubbery glue stuck to the rims. I don't think that Goo...

These are a few pics of my car after countless hours of polishing and 2 coats of DG 105

I just applied the 2nd coat of #105 and noticed that I can see the bonding agent thru the 105. What did I do wrong?
