I tried applying nxt by pc today with the polishing pad. This combo worked amazing well, the fininsh was in nead perfect condition but i think this added just that perfect finishing touch to it. Ive never seen anything so beautiful in my life, i wish i could just stare at my car forever : )...

After i had washed my car recently i pulled it in the garage and broke out the halogens. On the front fenders i saw what looked to be very small dots that where white in appearance. I came to the conclusion that these were from DACP that had splattered onto the fender when i was polishing my...

My uncle just got this 'new' car, its a 54 ford, and im going to be detailing it for him. Ive never done an older car like this and im wondering what to use. My plan of attack is this- wash/dry clay light polish(there are no major swirls present) glaze #7 nxt this sound good? I may wash...

Boy was i scared to begin with. Taking sandpaper to my finish? That was a very scary thought. I decided this morning that i needed to try and tackle some light 'scuffs' in the paint that would not come out w/ Dacp on a yellow pad at 6. I allowed the 3m 2000 and 2500 grit paper to soak overnight...

Ive collected all this stuff since last april when i became 'autopian', theres a pc hiding in there somewhere too. Its too addictive here.

Is it all right to use colored towels on paint? Pre-Autopia my thought was that only white should be used on paint because it had no dyes in it that could interfere w/ the paint of the car. Now we have all these different colors of microfiber to use, i currently use the blue mf's as well as...

Just dont be too harsh : ) http://robertturek.nexuswebs.net thanks, any hints or tips welcome, this is somewhat the 'rough draft', so to speak. Thanks

In the past few days weve recieved about a foot of snow and ice and all that wintery mixture of stuff. My car was outside on the first day of the storm and now i have ice on the car, will it hurt if i dont remove it, i really have no way of removing it that i can think of without scratching the...

I have a passion for perfect paint finishes, as we all do around here. It may just be me, but i really envy Mike Phillips job because he gets to work with all those great products and get paid for it. I would love to have a job in this industry and was wondering about how one would get started...

I special ordered the gallon of final detail through my local oreillys auto parts store. They are not listed on meguiars site as a dealer but they did stock alot of thier products so i inquired about them special ordering the FD and the APC+, they got me both items for only 24$, im so happy...

Works really well....I had ordered some of the meguiars Plastic cleaner and polish and found that it didnt work so well on my instrument panel, so i broke out the dacp and wow, it worked wonderfully for me, i then finished up w/ the plastic polish and it is really amazing, it took out almost...

I bought some aftermarket chrome wheels this spring and am debating wether or not to put the factory wheels back on for the winter(they have little rubber left, and i cant afford new tires), is it safe to have them on in the winter in terms of not having them rust? I am autopian so if i do drive...

I had my hood re-painted about a month ago, i know your suppose to wait 90 days before waxing....but winter is just about upon us and i dont want my virgin paint to have no protection, what should i do? Thanks

Im thinking about buying a 1997 Ford Explorer, does anyone who has owned or owns one have any things they could tell me, the one in question has a 5.0 v8 w/ awd, are these pretty reliable? things to look out for? also , it has 93000 miles, if taken care of would it still have a lot more in it...

Here are some more reflections off my white car, i really think these are beautiful, thanks for looking.

Does anyone use Final Detail? Id like to try this product but do not want to buy an entire gallon just to try it. If anyone would send me a sample i would pay for it plus s&H, thanks.
