Well I haven't been here for a while! There wasn't much point owning a roached out 18 year old Civic. The clearcoat failed on the roof and trunk yerars ago! The wife needed,and got, a new car so it is time to get back into the game. It is a candy white VW. It seems to like wax more than...

I was just about to make my first order of Menzerna polish. Autogeek and Detailer's Domain both have combo kits with IP but one has FP and the other MP. According to AG FP and MP are very similiar but the FP works faster. Is this correct, do you have a preference between the two, and if so...

It looks like I'll soon be getting my hands on my dad's supercharged MGB:woohoo: . I think it's a 1980 model and it's in mint condition due to the fact that got sick and then hurt shortly after buying it on Ebay. It's been sitting under a car cover for the last.... 3-4 years or so. The last...

Thanks to Autopia I have learned some of the basics of paint care but I have a long way to go. The Klasse twins were a revelation, the PC was a revelation, Collenite was unbelieveable. However I have always been a bit confused about polishes. I tried Meguire's and Sonus Swirlbuster and always...

Over the winter I was very happy with the Klasse/ Collenite combo I was using. It was very durable. Now I'd like to include a polish or swirl remover into the process. My question are, at what step do I add a polish? I believe it's the first step after clay but won't the AIO remove the...

I've been very happy with the Klasse twins topped with Collenite over the winter but I'd like to add a polish or swirl remover into the process. My question is, at what point do I use polish? Before or after the AIO? My understanding is that polish goes on after claying but won't the AIO...

Since I'm fairly new to all of this I just detailed my motorcycle and, as per Autopian instructions, I waited 24 hours for the SG to cure before I applied the 476S and to my eyes it made a huge difference. I had just never heard of the need for the acrylics or the waxes needing time to harden...

I use a simple method for the wife's car: clay, Sonus swirlbuster in necessary, AIO, SG, and top with Collinite 426s and I'm very happy with the results(for now at least). However, I have been hearing about "curing" times. I know that AIO can be removed immediately but what about SG and...

Hi there I'm a loooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnng time lurker here just trying to soak up everything I can. I finally got the PC, SFX pads, AIO and SG, P21s, and some polishes and have been practicing for a little while. My wife's car is a 93' Civic so it doesn't matter if I screw it up...

I have been lurking on this site for over a year and after a all this time I finally bought a PC last week. and now I*'m :getdown !!! Even though the pad that comes with the PC is considered junk it still polishes better than I have ever done by hand. I can't believe how much time I've wasted...
