    How does using a QD prevent scratching?

    I've read many references on the forum to using QD and an MF to remove bird bombs.. just wondering why this is actually "safe". When you actually wipe the bird bomb with the MF, isn't it going to scratch anyways?

    Has anyone used crystal rock wax from SwissVax?

    68 Camaro SS Full Paint Correction by Richie's Custom Detailing

    The previous owner had a sunroof spoiler on the car, but since I hate the dang thing, I removed it. However, since the sunroof spoiler has been on there for about 4 years, there's a visible line where it sat. It's not scratch or anthing, just a thick "stain" on the paint. I've tried washing...

    What is QD for and what is the proper application method?

    I keep reading rave reviews about QD products, but I'm not even sure what they are for.. from my understanding it is a carnuba wax spray? Is it just a quick method of waxing the car? Also, what is the proper method of applying it?

    I'm about to make the plunge and buy a larger quantity of a paint treatment system and was dead set on the Klasse twins until I read the product review of Blackfire. Now I'm torn between the 2. What are ppl's thoughts? I live in the Pacific northwest, so it's generally not as sunny and...
