Do you guys use the same amount of polish on the rest of the car as you did on the first panel? What I mean is lets say your first part is 1/2 a hood. You put either an "X" or a circle of polish on the pad. Polish the half of the hood and remove the polish. But then on the second half of the...

I'm still rather new to detailing and I have been useing the Sonus SFX series of polishes. I'm starting to run low on these polishes. I have been eh to happy about the polishes. So I have been looking around for a different line of polishes to try out. Just to see if it works any better for...

So last weekend I decided to wax the car one last time. I washed and dried the car. Then decided to clay some bad spots in the hood (bad bug gut stuff). Then to cut down on some minor inperfections and to get all the old wax off I used SFX-3 and a Sonus DAS blue pad. After that I followed up...

Im talking to a friend to day telling him how dirty my car is and how happy I got more wheel cleaner (p21s) in the mail. He goes "what is it some type of acid?". Me "uh no you never want to use acids on wheels but a detergent based wheel cleaner is better and safer". Him "well at the...

Basicaly is it bad to put multiple layers of p21s on? Yes I know it will not "layer" but you know what I mean. I know it breakes down quick. So is every 2 weeks ok? Not hurting anything buy doing that? Then when putting on the wax I use an MF applicator pad and do a 2x2 area going back...
