    LC Cutting Pad... I'm very displeased.

    As some of you may have read, I got 5 new LC pads in the other day. 3 White polishing, 2 Orange light cutting. I was trying them out today with some DACP on the mom-mobile, and the glue from the velcro on the cutting pad is seperating already! This is the second time I've used it! The first time...

    Fixing a Leather Accident :)

    My parents were on their way home from Philly the other day and they both had jackets on. My mom had on a new(er...?) black leather coat, and the heated seats were on full power in her car. When she got out of the car, she noticed some of the dye form the jacket transferred onto the light...

    LC PC Pads... Theres a hole in the middle!

    I just got my order in last night including 2 LC orange light cutting pads. These are the ones with the 'bowl' in the middle. I believe this is to prevent splatter? I was having difficulty applying my DACP to my Jeep today using this pad. I used the 'X marks the spot' method, and drew a...

    Ugh, Jeep paint!

    I was just curious... Does anyone know if the paint of Wrangler TJ is a single stage? The paint , especially on my hood, feels very thin. Much thinner than say my mom's Chrysler. Is it also possible it's had its share of wet sanding? There's not much OP on the hood compared to the doors...

    Coming of age. I'm gonna need some pads!

    PC Polishing pads that is! I understand there might be a few threads out there now answering these questions. However I'm way too swamped with homework to do a search for anything, and I need to order before this weekend because I have a job on Saturday (weather permitting)...

    Where does it go???

    We all know that claying can be used to strip wax or sometimes a sealant, if it's not too durable ;). But, when the wax is taken off, where does it go? does it create a film of wax in the clay bar? I've never noticed a difference in my clay except for the grit in it. How does the clay hold the...

    VA Autopians! Who would be up for a Mini Detail Day?

    Well, it has since been suggested to my parents by Mr. Thomas (tdekany) that I would love them very much if they bought me a rotary ;) . So because I never pass up a chance to meet new people and have fun why not learn to use a rotary with some awesome people-Autopians! I don't expect a...

    What do you do about post-detail comlaints?

    whenever you finish a detail, you always walk around the car, right? look for some wax in the cracks (hey, that rhymed!), etc... what you do do to make sure you dont have any extra flaws after a detail. for example: if you do a white car it can be hard to see leftover dried wax. is it okay...
