Hey, paint is feeling pretty rough on my '05 Civic with Magnesium Metallic. Very few swirls, if any. Going to wash and use Riccardo Yellow with water and No Rinse for lube. I have SSR 1, 2, 2.5, 3, EX Meg's 105,205 Menzerna Sealing Wax Klasse AIO (red) Optimum Poli-Seal Pretty much...

Same traits!! haha

So I offered to help a friend detail his wife's vehicle. Where of course I ended up doing 95% of the work. Boy did these wheels ever eat up a significant amount of time. Oh, and clay took forever, the lower panels were covered in brake dust. Started by using his Meguiar's clay (white) which...

So I've been using Mother's polish for a while and have been happy with it, but since I'm a sucker for trying new things I go to the store to pick up some BlueMagic. Not realizing once I get there, that there is a liquid and cream variety. Well for the sake of ease, I grab the liquid since...

Was waiting for my boss to meet me at location in a subdivision when I see this lady begin washing her Explorer... Yeah, the WHOLE vehicle with that broom. Wheels, trim, windows, paint..ALL OF IT! Not to mention the frequent drops on the driveway to pick up the hose.. All right, I tried...

Before a mobile detailer can advertise and offer their services to the general public do they need to register their business name with Service Canada?

Looking for a product to use, with PC (I have rotary too) that can remove light swirls in one pass. Was looking at Megs #83, seems like people were getting good results with this, ranked as a medium abrasive, which may mean I need to finish with a lighter cut polish? Another was Menzerna...

I've tried a few combinations and they all seem to leave streaks or what looks like smudges behind.. Invisible Glass + glass microfiber towel Damp microfiber towel Windex and papertowel Spray detail and microfiber towel I don't think I've really came across anything yet that left a...

Issue is, I'm having trouble removing swirls left from rotary, wool pad and SSR3. Next I used rotary with orange pad and SSR2.5, then PC with green pad and Poli-Seal. I'm thinking my 2nd step is not abrasive enough, maybe the SSR2.5 breaks down too quickly. Thought?

Yikes, I know. These were scratches on the vehicle before I purchased it. Just asking for opionions, as to what you would do with them prior to detailing the entire vehicle. I was thinking to clean the area really well, and apply touch-up paint to the major scratches to fill them in, let...

My sister purchased something from The Shopping Channel. They are cloths called "Mirafiber". She's pretty green and does not like using chemicals for cleaning. Well they arrived, and boy do they work wonders. With just a bit of water they cleaned all the grease and dirt off my black stove...

Was just curious. After reading some articles, they all seem to mention to keep the pad flat against the paint while using a rotary. In my short experience, I've found it easier to have a slight angle on the foam pad, meaning, maybe 1/2 - 3/4 of the pad makes contact with the surface. I've...

I don't think this is actually a detailing question, but I hope someone has some advice on what to do with this mark on my car. It is located on the front driverside fender. I covered the vehicle for winter, one car cover then one tarp, and wrapped with yellow rope (I looked EVERYWHERE...

Have some clear dots on my car. They sort of have the consistency of wax, and do not come off by rubbing finger over them.. I park my car under a maple tree. Any idea what it is? They only appear to be on the top-side of the vehicle..

Hey guys, just wondering how you combat scratches under door handles. Or from underneath spoilers...etc. Hard to reach places, what's your advice!

Hey guys, proud new owner of a 9227. I was using a PC 7424 for about a year to take care of swirls. It worked, to an extent, but I felt was very time consuming. So I bought the rotary. Is it suggested that I save the rotary for very damaged paint? I understand that I should always start...

Ok, does anyone use a spray detailer after their LSP? To me, I get streaks (leaves a haze of some sort which I find is difficult to remove and has the result of a visually unclear surface) when I use the spray, must be some of the mild cleaners in it or something. I tried PB SwG and PB QD+...
