I've got a PC, Sonus Pads (Blue, Green, Orange) and SSR 2.5, 2, 1. This combo has kept my 10 year old Maxima looking great for years. I've got some water spots on the hood and trunk lid though that 2.5 and the orange pad don't get off. What pad and product could I step up to for a bit more...

Hi All, Since I've had my PC, I've used the Sonus DAS pack of foam buffers. Sonus DAS Pad Kit These have worked fairly well. The orange pad with SSR 2.5 takes out about 90% of my swirls/hazing. Finishing up with the SSR 1 and a blue pad leaves a good shine. Now that my Maxima...

Hi all, The citizens of Raleigh have just had our water restrictions lifted due to drought conditions for the last year. Due to this, I've had to take my car to a no touch car wash. The door jams and engine bay are really showing it. Here is my plan of attack on Saturday, based on...

Poorboys SSR 2.5 (orange pad on 5 with PC) Poorboys SSR 2.0 (blue pad on 5 with PC) Platinum UPP by hand In pic 4, UPP left it a bit greasy (above MAXIMA). I run into this quite a bit after polishing, but if I do regular wash and add a layer if UPP it doesn't do it. It wiped...

Orange Pad/SSR2.5 (speed 4.5) Blue Pad/Mothers Cleaner Wax Admitedly, I could have gotten a better finish by using the SSR2 and the green pad, but it was hot and I was tired (not to mention this is the beater). It came out pretty good. The after pics look bad close up because it was two...

I recently used my PC on my 2002 Maxima (waxed with PUPP twice a year). I had a hard time with the polish (SSR2) not coming off completely. Is this because I still had a good base of wax? Should I have washed the car in dawn or some other wax removal wash? Last night I used SSR2.5 and PC...

Pics to come: Sonus DAS Kit PC 7336 Wash - Mequiars Clay Green Pad -- SSR2 (speed 4 to 4.5) Blue Pad -- AIO (speed 2 to 3) PUPP -- apply by hand/PC with microfiber buffer (speed 4 to 5) This is the first time I used my PC. The polishing went very well, but it did not "buff off" as...

Final Exam: 2002 Black Maxima SE We have a 1993 Mercury Sable, which has only been washed/cleaner/wax by moi once a year (washing a few times a year). For our anniversary, my wife got me a PC 7336SP. I don't have Sonus pads yet, but will be ordering soon. With just a few tools at my...

How long do I need to wait after applying/removing AIO to apply a protectant like PUPP?

You didn't think I would try this did you?:cool: After successfully marring my finish or just putting streaks through the wax. I hired an autopian to cleanup the outside of my car. He just started so pictures will come later. He's using a three stage wash by Valugard that will remove...

Anyone work in or around Raleigh?

What is the difference between model 7336 and 7335? (other than one is a 5" and the other is a 6", it appears the 7335 can hold a 6" pad)

I hate this product. I have no idea what happened. A few weeks ago, I decided to take care of some swirls I had on my car (very little hazing). I spent the better part of the night applying 3M Perfect-It. The results were great at first...about 90% of the swirls were gone. After that I...

I just bought some bulk Xpel film (4"X12") to cover an area near my rear wheel that is becoming a problem. My question is, how can I fill in/color in the pitting to match the car before adding the Xpel?

Just a Sunday wash with TurtleWax Wash-N-Wax and Eagle One Wax-As-U-Dry (a good every day product, but doesn't last long). I used some 3M Swirl Remover for Dark Cars and PUPP on my side skirts. They are plastic and the paint tends to get hazy/scratched quite easy. Did a good job if...

Can you guys name some good engine/tire dressings that are water based and dry (read NON-GREASY)? I've been looking at: Poorboys Bold-N-Brite Eagle One Satin Tire Shine Does the Eagle One product dry to the touch?

I've noticed that my paint has that not-so-new look to it. Some swirls are starting to show, especially after the PUPP has warn off. After doing some reading and budgeting, I decided to try the following approach: 1)Mequiar's Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner 2)Mequiar's # 7 3)Mequiar's #20 or...

Well I finally finished my detail, should have pictures up tomorrow. I used 3M Glaze/Swirl Remover for Dark Cars and PUPP. Car looks awesome. I must say the polish and PUPP had very little residue. I used to use Mequiars Cleaner/Wax all the time and had a hell of a time removing all the dust...

Well, I am 24 hours into my repair. I have been documenting with a disposable camera that had a few pictures left. This weekend I should have pictures posted of the entire project from start to finish. First I washed the area with dawn and cleaned again with denatured alcohol. Next, I...

Zymol P21S Pinnacle Souveran Mother's Carnuba Mequiar's Medallion Premium Paint Protection Liquid Glass Platinum Premium Paint Protection I just got a car care magazine and these were all offered in the $15 to $25 range. I've heard them all mentioned on here, but which one is really...
