I'm in the process of moving, so time lately has been scarce. Products used: - Meguiar's Gold Class Wash - Mother's Caranauba Cleaner Wax - Meguiar's NXT (x2) - Meguiar's Endurance for the tires

One night I was backing into my driveway, and for some reason, I didn't look at my driver's side mirror and I (more than) grazed the side of the fence. There was a lot of paint transfer and some scratches that I took care of with some DACP, but some went all the way down to the plastic on the...

I have this car with a carbon fiber hood. I know my plan of attack on the painted panels, but should I change it when I attack the hood? Should I be using a PC on it or not? I hear people telling me to use boat wax. Is there even a difference? The carbon fiber hood is brand new. I was...

I was visiting the States a couple weeks ago and since NXT wasn't available up here in Victoria yet, I decided to buy a bottle. I didn't have a chance to try it out until now, and here are my results. Oh, notice the lack of shade-shots? ;) Impressions: • excellent at hiding minor...

How do you do it? All of last week I tried this method and all I got out of it were light swirls galore! I'm going to try WAUD after spraying off the car (not washing, just spraying off).

Hey everyone! We've finally hit a good stretch of weather so I went to work: 1. #00 Hi-Tech Wash 2. #9 Swirl Remover 2.0 3. #7 Show Car Glaze 4. Eagle One NanoWax 5. #26 Hi -Tech Wax (liquid) All work was done by hand -- I'm a ScottWax wannabe, but aren't we all? :D The...

... do what it does? I mean, why can't water be used instead? What's the active ingredient (or ingredients) that give the paint that "pop" after a QD? Does it bring up a tiny layer of existing wax that you buff off? Questions, questions, questions. While I was QD'ing earlier, I became...

I've already searched the form, and it seems that not many have used the new EO NanoWax resulting in less comments about the product. The other day I picked up a bottle of EO NanoWax (EONW). Since I like to work on the car's paint at least once a month I was curious about the swirl-hiding...

It's called a Wen 7" Right-Angle Sander/Polisher. Features: - Powerful sander makes quick work of sanding wood, metal, fiberglass and body filler - Converts quickly to a polisher for polishing cars, boats, planes and vans - Built-in tool rest for convenient attachment of bonnets and...

Sorry I couldn't take the best pictures, but this is what my brother's hood looks like. Near the front of the hood (bottom of picture) it looks like some minor stone chips. Near the center, I don't know how those got there, but they just look like straight-line scratches. Some of them are...

Once upon a time there was this guy who drank a little bit too much Dr. Pepper (4 750ml bottles) at work. He arrived home at 11:00PM, couldn't fall asleep, and decided to detail his car at 12:00 in the morning. So, he brought out his cotton towels, Diamond Kote Paint Cleaner, Meguiar's #7 Show...

Has anyone run into the problem of their black (particularly Nighthawk Black Pearl) car looking almost brown in the sun? On overcast days and at night, it looks black, but in the sun, it doesn't look as black as I want it to. I took some pics, but they don't show what I want you guys to see...

... and the results weren't too spectacular. My car is black and I'm always fighting swirls. The weather is getting nicer (not supposed to rain for a long while) and I decided to give #9 a whirl (then top it off with #7 and #26) -- I've never tried #9 before. So, I get up at about 5:30AM...

Hello guys and gals! :wavey I was just browsing around this morning and thought to myself, "wouldn't it be great if there was an entire board dedicated to detailing and detailing only." Well, I found it! Autopia will definately be one of my "daily visit" sites. :D Well, here are a few...
