Detailing this for my girlfriends parents, don't want to mess it up :) They said the dealer mentioned using a special wax since this paint was different. It does seem to change color depending on the light. I was planning on using Megires NXT 2.0, will this be safe to use? Thanks!

CRV is a 97' and red has faded to nice shade of bubblegum pink, especially on the hood, fenders and roof. Was badly oxidized as well. I have both a PC and rotary and have had some success in the past restoring faded cars to their original color but they all were single stage paint and no...

Friend has an electric pressure washer, semi- strong at best. I watched him pressure wash the interior of his Tahoe, totally soaking the carpets and seats. There must have been a couple inches of water collected in low spots. On the positive side, the carpets were remarkably clean when he was...

Just bought a 99 4Runner, 140K miles. It has an odd smell when I turn on the fan for the heat/AC. I've read that it can be mold in the system and produce a musty smell but this smells a little different. It's not terrible but not pleasing either. It seems to be worse when I choose to vent fresh...

So I get the MR2 out today for the first time in 3 weeks. Did a complete polish topped with #21 x 2 and one coat of Souveran. I took pics after the #21 and it looked really really shiny, lots of reflections. Topped with one coat of Souveran and today it just looked, well, not as shiny or as...

Sorry, another Souveran question. I've got two layers of #21 and one layer of Souveran. How many layers of Souveran is adviseable or am I just wasting product? Will multiple layers increase the depth/shine etc? Thanks again.

That's it, thank you!

Spent the better part, off and on for the past two weeks polishing on my car with DACP and AIO. I'm passing on the Klasse SG and intend on using #21 because I've read it ultimately looks better and is easier to use. I intend on applying Souveran for the ultimate look. Couple questions...

Car is a 93' MR2 with single stage red. Just finished polishing with DACP and AIO and honestly it looks great, very shiny and nice reflections. I started applying SG on a couple sections, wiped on pretty thin and wiped off after a couple minutes. It looks like the SG has actually muted the...

I'm using a PC, yellow pad and have been using DACP. Car is 16 years old, single stage paint and severly swirled and oxidized. DACP has been working but it takes me AT LEAST two times/section, pressing fairly hard and going very slow with a yellow pad to remove the swirls. It also leaves a...

I'm finished polishing on my MR2 (finally), I've used DACP and AIO so far, where do I go from here? I just ordered a bunch or product online, should be here tomorrow. Here's what I was thinking at this point: -Laying a sealing glaze down x 3, either Klasse SG or Meguires #21. Which...

The clear plastic on my instrument cluster (speedo, tach etc) is hazed/foggy for some reason. I think the previous owner tried to clean it with something that fogged it up. It's not scratched just, well, hazy. How should I approach this problem, what works well for bringing back the clarity...

Car is a 93 MR2 with severe swirl marks and moderate oxidation/fading. I've completed the engine bay in back and one side and it's actually coming back nicely. I'm starting on the hood and under a halogen light the swirl marks are fairly evident. I'm using a PC and Meguires Heavy Cut cleaner...

Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm looking for Lake Country pads, going to try the 7.5" pads this time. Where is the cheapest place you've found them online? Are there any places that offer free shipping or special deals too? If not these pads, any other brands to consider? Thanks!

Yes, my girlfriend is close to having me committed for working this long on JUST the hood of my black 95' Miata. Here's what I found worked and didn't work. 3M medium cut compound is WAY too abrasive and caused major hazing. Scared me sh_tless after realizing what I had done, fortunately...
