I just got my PC and my hood is looking pretty rough from not rubbing the 3M SMR enough into the paint. I also have 3M rubbing compound. I plan on doing the 3-step system later this week. My hood has some nasty swirls with a lot of haze as well, will the rubbing compound be safe to use or too...

I have heard Lowes has them, but my local one does not have them in stock. Does anyone know where I can find the PC 7424 model for a good price? Does the machine come with the applicator pad and buffing pad or do I need to purchase them seperately? Thanks

I am a newbie to the detailing world and have heard of wet sanding, what exactly is this procedure? Thanks

While drying my car yesterday after a good bath, I noticed that my hood on my black VW GTI was looking pretty rough. It had some nasty swirls, hairline scratches, etc. The thing is that I just 3-stepped last week (3M SMR, IHG, Blitz wax) and now the swirls and scratches are back. I also noticed...

I have a long and fairly deep scratch on my hood. I posted a thread on this earlier and someone said to try a mixture of corn starch and glaze. I would really like to get rid of this nasty scratch asap. Has anyone ever heard of this technique? Thanks ;)

As I was applying another coat of Blitz tonight, I noticed a very long and deep scratch on my hood, it looks to be a key job to me. I used many different scratch removers with the PC but nothing seems to take it out. Can I get some ideas on what I should do? Thanks :(

I am currently using 3M SMR and IHG. I notice that when using the SMR on my black car, there still seems to be some swirls left on the hood mostly. I am looking for something a bit more abrasive than the SMR and have looked into 3M Finesse-It, is this product good? Any other recommendations for...

My car spends quite alot of time sitting in the sun on those hot summer days. I am currently using Blitz wax and would just like to know if it contains UV inhibitors, because this is very important that I have some protection over the clearcoat on my black car. Thanks

I have a bottle of Quik detailer by Meguiars and I was just wondering if this is a good touch-up spray shine like to use everyday in between washings? Thanks

I just got my Blitz wax in and used it last weekend. I put two coats on and this stuff is great, I was using Meguiars GC wax and this will hopefully last much longer than that, the Blitz went on so easy with the foam pad. The only problem I encountered with this wax is that it seemed pretty...

I have been reviewing these two waxes quite a bit lately and I am trying to decide what wax to buy next for my car. I am currently using Meguairs Gold Class and while I think it leaves amazing shine on black paint, it simply gives off way too much dust and doesnt last for a poop, probably 2-3...

I plan on doing a thorough detail on my black GTI this weekend. I am kind of new to the detailing world. I have nasty swirls and haze marks on my hood even though the car was just SMR and waxed not too long ago. My plan this weekend is to wash with dawn to strip all the old wax and contaminents...

I have a black 2001 VW GTI and I wash and polish/wax her all the time. My usual routine is 3M SMR followed by 3M IHG and then topped off with Meguairs Gold Class wax. I have noticed in the sun that my hood looks very bad and is filled with hairline scratches and swirls. I think the more I polish...
