    RE: Patience. (Thanks Angelo)

    OK, guys. Some of you claim to have swirl free finishes. I admire you for that....but how about sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. From a previous thread, we heard all kinds of names for these swirls - milky way, etc. They are the kind that show up when the sun or parking lot...

    2008 Mustang Bullitt full detail

    OK, you just got done washing, claying, waxing....the finish feels like butter and looks great. You are really proud of yourself..... until the sun hits it at just the right angle, or you pull into that parking lot at night with those lights that make EVERY scratch, microswirl, whatever, show...

    Scenario: 1. You have separate cotton towels for product application, removal, buffing. 2. You wash & dry all of them together. Is this a bad idea? Does the wax buffing towel now have polish in it and could scratch up surface, etc? You guys know what I mean...how do you handle this...

    Preview: 2003 Black Audi S6 Avant

    Hey guys. Your advice, please. I am obsessively trying to eliminate all scratch/swirl marks from a grey-silver (lunar mist) finish on a 1 year old Toyota. Started with Griots machine polish #3 applied with DA. It is working a bit, but I have gone over it 4 times now, DA at speeds...

    wax removal

    I am planning on doing a major detailing project and may use (thanks to all the positive posts) the Valugard ABC system to prep the finish. Am I correct in assuming that you just go through these steps and it will take even a sealant off your car, eliminate the need for claying and leave that...

    Too many hours on a Kia Sportage.....yes a Kia

    I have come to this forum because I wanted to learn all I could about detailing and the best products there are. As a part of this process, I have gone through various topics and found a few very interesting interchanges among forum members. What is interesting is that when a man like Ron...

    2010 Sequoia video fun

    OK, here is the scenario: I have a 1 year old Toyota Avalon with lunar mist metallic (silver grey) paint. Due to some novice mistakes in claying last year, etc., it has some minor swirl, overall light scratches. While these are not deep, they are all over the car and it bugs me. It is the...

    Aloha!

    I have just tried Griots Best of Show Wax. Supposed to have high carnuba content. It is very hard to remove compared to Meguairs GC which I had used before. Why is this??? Called Griots and they kind of admitted that this could be a problem and to use the detail spritz to help with it. Who...

    Old Motorhome finishes?

    Today I did an experiment with Griots Best of Show wax and their claybar. I had been using Meguair GC and wanted to see what Griots was like. Here are steps and impressions: 1. Wash with Dawn - This is great, really cleans down to the paint 2. Griots clay - Very pliable and mild, not...

    Opti-Seal Review

    OK all you veteran :cool: pros, let a newbie in on some trade secrets. If you had to put all of your experience into a recommendation for an undeserving creature (lizard) like me, what would you give me as the list of products and steps. From the car wash, clay, polish, wax, sealant...

    Removing swirls from glossy plastic??

    anyone used this stuff? How would it compare to all the favorites? Anything special about it? Was thinking of using PC with the #3 to get out small scratches from claying and what have you on a 1 year old car. It's kind of expensive and of course Griots says its the best thing since the...

    Best combo of durability & shine

    I have a one year old Toyota Avalon - lunar mist metallic (silver). I had the unfortunate experience of being new to detailing (had company cars before and used car washes, now I own this car and really care about the finish) and thought I could depend on the dummies at Meguairs to give me...
