I detailed this 2000 BMW 740iL. It was covered in scratches on every panel. I started it at 7:00 pm on Friday night and worked through till midnight. I had the garage door open and lots of lights on. I was getting inundated with mosquitos that kept landing and staying on all the top panels. I...

I have a rotary (2 in fact) that I have used for years with good results. Before getting on this forum, I hadn't even heard of a pc. Should I get one for the polishing portion of my details or is the rotary just as effective? Can I hear from people who use both? Thanks!!

I used my RMG tonight after getting feedback about how to remove the P.S. that was already there (FPII, RMG, PS). When applying RMG with the buffing pad, it was o.k. but seemed to take a long time. I then tried applying with a microfiber applicator and buffing after it hazed up (pretty quick I...

I received my order of RMG after applying a few coats of PS. Will the RMG have enough cutting power to cut through the PS to benefit the black paint or should I polish it off with FPII or something? I want to try the RMG but don't want to waste my time if it won't penetrate the PS.

I did this Lexus that is a D.D. and is parked outside 24-7. I was very impressed with the xmt 360 which I used for the 1st time. Here was the process: Exterior: wash clay with clay magic and 425 as lube (1st time using; better than soap/water imo) xmt 360 topped with collonite for extra...

This is my old car that I sold to a fellow 3 years ago. He has me detail it for him once a year. This time was a challenge, but I am happy with the results. Here's the process: clay wet sand where needed 3m finishing polish (waiting for my presta to arrive!) 106ff fpII colonite 476

This is a job I did for the fellow that bought my old STS. I am pleased how it came out for a 10 year old car! Here's the process: clay 106ff with white pad FP II with blue pad colonite 476 I also wet sanded a few places that needed it with 2000 grit. The wheels were done with metal polish

when applying or removing products by hand, whether they be polish or wax, how much pressure should I apply? I think I tend to be heavy handed. Will that, or could that mar the paint itself?

I looked at crappy tire the other day to get some 303. They did not have it and it was not listed online either? Is that a regional thing? I'm from Windsor, Ont.

I ordered 12 DF towels which I picked up today. To my horror when I opened the package, there were only 7 towels in the envelope (and no, it had not been opened). I immediately emailed Leo and to my surprise, quickly got a call back from him (it was 8pm). He was sincerely apologetic and is...

Hello..New to this site, but not detailing. I have tried many, many products over the years. I currently tend to use Menzerna and have recently started topping it with PS. I was topping it with s100 before. I have some collinite on order b/c I'm going to start doing some detailing on the...

Is it a waste of time (and product) to put collinite over fmj, the same kinda way you'd put ps over fmj? i've got some collinite on order and was wondering.

Anyone used these yet? The DF Concourse Towel

I did a search and did not find the answer to this basic question: How do you clean really dirty door jams, especially at the bottom where you step in and out? Do you wash it with the wash mitt 1st and then the car, or last or what? I am afraid of scratching the paint.

I was looking at getting some Collinite and I thought the Insulator wax was the cat's ***, but then on their site I saw the Super Doublecoat, which they are describing as a "permanent wax". Which one will seal the best and give the best shine over Menzerna polishes?

I did the following steps to the side of my fx to get rid of some scratches the dealer put in while washing: clay with zaino menz 106ff Ip II menz glaze fmj 3 coats of p.s. My problem you can see from the pics is that when I pull it out into the sun, I get these marks. I don't...

hello and sorry if this has been asked before, but i don't remember seeing it. My question is has anyone compared the chemical guys 50/50 carnuba to pinnacle souveran? I have read great reviews of both, I'm just not sure of which one to try...any suggestions?

i had parked my '04 fx35 in a parking garage that was cleaning the floor below. when i returned, i saw all these small white dots on the paint. i assumed they'd wash off. oh no they didn't!! it took clay and then menzerna 106ff and fpII and fmj. see before and after:

i have been using fmj and hgas or z8 as a qd. i saw some pics of cars done with s100..good lord what a shine!! can it go over the fmj? will it improve the shine? thanks
