I feel like my compound never rubs completely off. I just got done trying it on my roof. Here's the steps I did - Wash with Dawn - Dry with waffle weave - System One polish on wool - System One polish on foam - Wipe off excess with IPA - Take picture only to find out there is still...

what's the safest way to wash & dry?

this stuff is great. I was scared to dish out the $25 on it, but now I'm thankful I did it. 4 oz will go a VERY long way. I did my Dad's truck (a fullsize Tundra) and my car Acura TSX and haven't even used 1/20th of this stuff. Here's a few befores and afters Before After...

I just picked up my Makita 9227c. I am currently using System One, but considering moving away. I currently have Optimum Compound and Polish, along with the System One polish

Tried it on my stubborn trunk and had some great results. Took out the deeper scratches that my UDM couldn't do anything to. Still had some slight marring, but much better than it's ever been. I am NOT impressed with the pad at all. I followed the cleaning instructions and rinsed it out...

Seems like it's a little more delicate up there. I'm not sure how most of them are attached, seems like a glue. How do you go about cleaning up there?

I've been using Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer for a while, always loved the clean scent and it provided some pretty decent results. Looking to give something else a shot, any other recommendations? I'd really like to find something with an anti-static in it if I can. I'm sick of having...

Can't find a whole lot, search is being stupid about finding it. Finding words with system is popping up like a million results. Videos are pretty impressive. Any real world experience?

Do I need a female or a male? What pads would you guys recommend? Using Optimum compound & polish what do you guys think of the system one setup?

Prices are around the same range. I'm looking for something more aggressive than my UDM. I am considering going the Rotary route, never done it before, but not afraid to learn.

I have the basics. A shop vac, leather cleaner, cheap carpet cleaner, glass cleaner, vinyl cleaner. Any recommendations to add to the collection? I was considering an extractor, but I only come across $1000 commercial grade, huge ones. Is there anything out there a little more mobile? I saw...

I have been practicing and practicing and still can't get it perfect. I've been practicing on my black car for a while now and still haven't found a way to avoid holograms. I'm currently using Optimum Compound and Polish with a UDM. I never can get the compound to completely work in, so I...

I put my old clay in a ziplock bag in the past, but that didn't work out well, it melted to the side of the bag and was almost like a glue. I just bought a nice, big stick of it and I'd like to preserve this one. What do you guys use? All of my chemicals are stored outside in a shed that can...

Just looking for a ballpark figure. Never had it done before 05 Acura TSX hood

It's pretty bad, some exposed paint, most chips are smaller than 1/4", it's just destroying the clean look of my car buying used is the worst thing ever, especially when the owner before obviously didn't care

I'm hearing everyone talking about putting sealant on the rims, which is new to me. I have a bunch of 4 Star UPP laying around. How well would this work on the tires after a good tire shine?

I'm confused on all of the business laws and how they work. If I was offering services, do I need to be licensed by the state or county? I was thinking about simply posting Craigslist ads or even putting business cards on windshields of cars in need

I have some experience dealing with my own car, but definitely could use some hands on experience I currently own: -UDM -Optimum Polish & Compound -4 Star UPP -Meguiar's NXT Car Wash -Meguiar's Tire Gel Shine -Meguiar's Hot Rims -Meguiar's Interior Detailer (almost out) -Cheapo...

I just picked up a Black Acura TSX and I really want this car to shine. I got it from the lot and it has lots of swirls, a couple fingerprint looking blemishes, and not a super slick shiny finish. I want to change this. After countless hours of reading I decided to pick up the UDM Model 1000...
