Based on earlier posts comments, I will keep this post short & simple by listing the process and the final photo's only. Please note, I maintain this car regularly, so it doesn't need allot of work during its spring, summer and winter details. Condition Minor Swirls Minor Scratches Acid...

I thought I would give M105 a try this week with DA Ultima Detail Machine (UDM) and found it too dry and difficult to remove. I thought I overworked it, but I only made 3-4 passes in an area. I didn't prime or wet foam pad, perhaps that caused the problem. Any suggestions?

I am curious if the product is truly a glaze and a sealer. Does this product fill in minor swirls or micromarring, like a glaze, and also provide a synthetic type wax, like a sealer? Or is it just a sealer with glaze in the name? Thank you for your help.

Living in the northeast, Pennsylvania's DOT has been spraying a brine solution onto the roads to prevent icing and snow build-up. This solution is difficult to remove from the car's surface, since it bonds fairly well and the wash water almost makes it worse by "reactivating" the dried solution...

I detailed a car last night with incredible results, but wanted to make sure I didn't waste a step. In reading the forumns, I noticed allot of peopled using DWG with Ultima's PGP. In using and reading about Ultima, I was under the impression that it strips anything it's being applied over...

I recently bought some zaino products (Z-PC, Z-AIO, Z-2Pro, X-3, Z-5Pro, Z-CS, etc.) and wanted to know if someone could educate me as to using the UDM for application. I have been using the Ultima products, which have a particular colored pad for each application, but the Zaino products just...

I started "really" detailing my cars this summer and with everyone's help and guidance I feel my skills have come a long way, but I have hit a wall! It appears when I am finished, although I have made majore strides in correcting a car's finish, I can't seem to get the last 3%-5% of the...

I have an '07 Corvette, with a great deal of the usual GM Orange Peel, and I am considering wet sanding, by hand, with 2000 grit paper. You may have seen this car in the Ultimat forum. Now that the finish has been enhanced, the orange peel is more dramatic. I have the Ultima products and the...

I have recently started using this product and wanted to know if anyone had any special tips. I was told that I should use a gallon of water with the product, in lieu of the two gallons specified, any thoughts or further advice? Thanks.

Hey all, I have learned alot on this site recently, but I have also recently met my match. My wife drove her car through red paint which had been spilled on the road. I was able to clay the side panels, but I don't know where to start or what to do with the lower panel, wheel wells and tires...

I recently bought an OXO duster, but the first time I used it, it streaked the car. Nothing major that a quick Sonus Spritz didn't fix. Should I have done something prior to using the duster for the 1st time?
