I have been doing a decent amount of sidejobs for the past few months, so I figured it was time to step up the game. Ended up getting the SP18VA from autogeek $170 (ordered it from toolup.com for 120, but it turns out to be a bait and switch, order cancled and 'we can't honor that price')...

Tonight I was occasionally using poorboys QD to help get klasse SG off. I realized after starting that this could have an ill effect (clouding, causing the klasse to not bond, etc), and got nervous. No idea why I never thought of this before. I guess this is one of the reasons the zaino...

I'm considering trying menzerna powergloss, as I find a lot of cars I'm doing for people are too water etched and swirled to get higher than about 90% of the finish back with a PC and DACP or IP (a lot of these cars are a 02-04 subarus). This also means a step up to a rotary I think, although...

Is there a pad and polish combo that is strong enough to remove swirls (especially on hard clear like a subaru has), yet fine enough to leave a good finish? I have used a yellow pad and DACP with success in the swirl removal, but it leaves a haze (easily removed by stepping down in product...

this is a car I did this weekend. Clay + clearkote machine glaze + collinite IW. I AIO'd the windows. Sorry I don't have in sun pictures, he sent these after he got home the next day

I have DACP, #9 SMR, and menzerna IP/FP, and just added #80. But I'm kind of confused as to where 80 falls in my polish lineup. I intend to use it as kind of a quick polish/glaze base for friends cars, that I will follow with some IW. I see DACP as my heavy duty scratch and swirl...

I am part of a subaru club and am hosting some detailing days, the money going into surgery for my dog (somewhat the clubs mascot). I really want to make everyones car shine their best. What products would you guys suggest for each color (assuming good prep). Colors I will be dealing...

I need to buy a new battery and have no idea which one to get, anyone have a reccommendation for me? I drive my vehicle daily and for at least 15 minutes at a time. I also do not have any extra electronics. I am pretty sure this means I do not need to pay a premium for an expensive battery...

As I washed my car today I got it into my head to finally try and top the zaino with p21s. A big reason for this was my car has been a huge dust magnet, and people on here say p21s has good anti dust properties, we shall see. Also what fun is being an autopian without experimenting?? After...

Well somehow I managed to talk my dad into getting a PC and then taking advantage of it. I spent a whole day 1. PC with megiuar's SMR 2. p21s paint cleanser lotion 3. 'dawn' wash 3. 3 layers of Z2/zfx next day, 2 hours maybe 1. 3 more layers z2/zfx I also got a tint job today :D

Ok, going all out on my car tomarrow as long as it doesnt rain, and would like some stuff cleared up. I have real light scratches in my paint (Swirl marks I guess), new car. I have meguiar's 9 (SMR), p21s paint cleanser, a PC, and zaino. My thoughts were to use p21s by hand. Then use...

My friend has one of those cheap (I think 20 dollars) 10inch orbital buffers. Its the only thing of its kind I have access to. I wouldn't care at all about using it, but I want to get the mild swirl marks I have out, and I have been reading how darn near impossible that is to do by hand. So...

Starting to detail a black F150, in 'fair' shape. Needed to do it with items I could find on the shelves here (unfortunately). knew I wanted to claybar and polish and wax to whatever extent I could. already have the mothers clay bar which I used tonight and in the store I found the megiuar's...

Just recently got into car detailing after buying my new 03 MINI cooper. After reading autopia for a few months, I decided to get zaino products, and a clay bar, and 3M SMR (stupid dealership). Picked up mothers clay bar kit, since it got good praise here and was easy to get. I was...
