    SeaDoo Detail

    Just bought a nicely used SeaDoo and wanted to clean it up a bit for the lake. There is some black trim around the PWC and I was wondering what to use to make the plastic look nice. Also, how to clean up the vinyl seats and this faded vinyl dash piece?

    I'm a noob, but am I a autopian yet?

    We got stuck on a two lane in NV for construction so I whip out some QD and a MF towel to clean some sling. More importantly, I won't be able to wash the bugs while the car sits outside for over a week so I want to clean them before the acids etch the paint. would using a QD and MF to take...

    Wet sanding vs megs Microfiber correction system

    Today I tried out wet sanding with 2000 grit paper and was surprised how well it worked. Thankfully I didn't destroy the paint on my beater. ;) After wet sanding, I pulled out the megs CS and polished out the marks. It got me thinking of what would be the in between of the microfiber system and...

    Learned a few things and have more questions

    Meg's buffing pads and UC work great on shower glass Mothers aluminum polish and buffing pads don't produce good together on aluminum. What kind of pad will? Also, is there a chart that shows megs pads, LC and griots pads in a aggressiveness comparison? I can't seem to find much of all...

    What's causing this? Time to polish/wax?

    I have a 2010 Pilot that still has the factory "wax". Has about 31000 miles. Is it time to clay/polish/wax? Is that's what is causing the water to stick like veins after a pass with a MF?

    Megs DA polisher

    n00b here, just bought the Megs DA polisher off amazon (thanks free points!) and didn't catch that it doesn't come with any pads. I bought it for primarily polishing wax, which leads me to think that a polishing pad would be best. Am I correct on this? And as a novice detailer, what kind of...

    Howdy from Colorado

    At the end of last year I bought a 2008 BMW 335xi Titanium Silver. When I bought it, I decided I would get into detailing to keep it looking great! Well, after it became a shop hog, the wife and I decided to trade it in for a Honda Pilot. BORING. But either way I want to keep it looking great...
