Greetings, After reading, learning, and taking so much from these forums after the last months, I decided I wanted to share some recent experience. Not to brag, because I know I still have lots to learn, but more to show others the capabilities of some products. Many write on these forum that...

I am still in search of the best exterior trim dressing that will hold up in rain and not run down the side of my truck. I went to the Megs site and asked there what was their best product and #38 was the response. For stuff other than Megs, I did a search here and it seems that maybe Klasse...

I had been using the Poorboys SSRs with decent results. Anyway, last weekend I had a black VW with light swirling and I wanted to try #80 followed by #26. I worked the #80 with a PC at 5 and LC white pad until it turned translucent and then wiped off with a MF. I noticed that if I worked it...

This weekend, a friend wanted me to do his wife's Explorer. I wanted to use #80 via PC, followed by a sealant and then maybe a wax (#16, #26, or S100) topper. My friend wants more durability than a wax alone can provide. The only sealants I currently have are EX-P and UPP, but not #20. I...

I will be doing a red car next weekend. No swirl removal wanted by the customer, but my guess is under all the dirt there is less than perfect paint. I will try to sell clay also, but don't know what the customer will buy. I have decided to use #26 instead of a sealant as a LSP on the red...

I am relatively new to paint polishing, but I have had pretty good success using the Poorboys SSR product line (they seem very user friendly, especially for a novice like myself). Well, today I was doing a neighbor's car which had a ton of swirls and some scratches on a black Maxima. I...

I just got started doing a few vehicles in the neighborhood for some pocket money. I had been using a 2-step process after washing (UPC/UPP or PwC/EX, etc.) I wanted to offer a quicker (and cheaper) option for those who only want a basic exterior wash and 1-step wax. What would you...

I am new to detailing and this forum, but it seems to me by reading these threads there is a common belief that it is necessary to apply 2nd or 3rd coats of LSP by hand instead of PC. Although it was only my first try with the PC and 4* UPP, I found the PC worked very well to apply the product...

Greetings all, I am a Newbie to autopia and detailing, and this is my first post. Thanks to all others for all their posts, as I have learned greatly from all the information available here. I hope to start a new hobby keeping my family's cars looking their best and protecting the finish as...
