    Stain/blemish/etching on paint

    Anyone know what this is, what caused it and how to remove? It almost looks/feels like acid dripped on it and ate some of the paint off.

    Debadging a leased car - have you done it?

    I am contemplating doing this on a leased car, but ws wondering what the ramifications would be. Has anyone done this? We will probably end up buying or trading it in anyway, but you never know - we could end up just turning it in.

    2nd coat of NXT or just top w/carnauba wax?

    Finished 1st coat of NXT last night and was wondering if I should put a 2nd coat of NXT or just top with nuba wax. Or put second coat of NXT AND top w/nuba wax. If you recommend the later, how long do I have to wait to top with nuba - can I do it right after the 2nd coat of NXT?

    How to apply wax by hand

    I read a few years ago never to use a circular motion when applying and removing wax - only stright line movements following the lines of the car. I have been using this technique for a while now. I plan on waxing a new car for the first time w/NXT and wanted to check in to see if this is...

    Thihnking about #80/NXT for white car

    I just bought a new '06 VW Touareg (white). Thinking about putting down Megs #80 first then NXT on top. Should I top with #26 as the last step? Recommendations? Will this be the best combo for a white car? Since it is new, should I use a cleaner first before anything else?

    Protectant for black interior?

    I have a black/black VW and I like the results I am getting just using water and a rag to wipe down the black interior. I don't like the protectants that leave a shinny look. Everytime I use these type of agents I can see uneven spots where the solution didn't penetrate/or on areas I missed...

    Garage door opener problem....

    The door goes up nice - smooth and quite. But when the door shuts, it is very loud and makes a chattering sound during the start of the close. I sprayed some WD-40 on the track and that helped alittle, but that mostly made the opening of the door smoother. Any sugestions?

    Just clayed for the 1st time!

    Bought Clay Magic and clayed my black Passat tonight. This stuff is awesome! Topped it off with Megs #7 and then Blitz. The next time I clay, I may try Klasse AIO w/P21S after claying. Anyway, the shine is awesome. The hood is like a mirror - I can see my nose hairs in the reflection. I...

    Help! 3MIHG hard to take off!!!

    I have never had this much trouble buffing this stuff out! Also, there is brown spots being transfered onto my MF towel. My car must be pretty drity, although it doesn't look it. My car has sat out in the winter (for the first time). Is this why the 3MIHG is difficult to buff out? Is there...

    Dog jumped up on car and scratched it!

    Freakin' Rottweiler put his front paws on my drivers side door and put scratches on my black car. I can't feel the scratches. Also, I have to look at them at an angle and in a certain light to really see them. My wife can't see them, but I can! I tried Megs #9 w/no luck. Should I try Scratch X?

    Torque wrench....

    are they worth it? How much for a cheap one? And how do they work? I just started doing my own oil changes and thought I might pick one up for tightening the oil plug. Should I bother?

    Best QD to use on AIO & P21S combo?

    Should I be using a carnuba, silicone (or niether) based QD on a paint surface coated with P21S carnuba wax? Which brand is good w/this combo? Would Meg's Quick Detailer be OK?

    Eagle 1 Wet "Wax-as-you-dry".....

    What do you think of this product? I thought it was a joke at first. But I got a small sample bottle of it at a car show and tried it on my company car. Got good results. If anything, it makes the drying process more enjoyable. It leaves a nice silky smooth surface. I have added it to my...

    Washing car before detailing

    Is it a rule that you must do a true wash of the car before polishing/waxing, or is it OK to wipe it down with QD if there is light dust on the car?

    First time using MF towels!

    These are great! I will probably never use a chamois again to dry my car. The waffleweave from JT International worked great. I haven't used the terry towels wet since I didn't wax. But, I do have a question? I assume you only use the waffleweave ONCE to dry the entire car and then have to wash...

    Should I wash new MF towels?

    I just got my Micro fiber towles from JT International. I have nothing to compare them to, but they seem real nice. Should I wash them before using? Can't wait to try them out!

    Want the Rain-X, but not the chatter!

    I recently read a post about Rain-X and it's possible cuase for wiper chatter. I am experiencing chatter as well and have Rain-X applied. I love my Rain-X and do not get any hazing. I searched the archives, but none of the posts address keeping the Rain-X and fixing the chatter. Most posts...

    P21S wax on dark paint....

    I am looking for that deep wet look. I have been using 3MIHG/Blitz Wax with good results for the past year. But, I want to try something different. I have also been thinking about Klasse AIO/SG. What are your thoughts of P21S & Klasse?

    JT International: "Micro-touch" or "Ultrafine"?

    These will be my very first MF towels. Which would you recommend? I plan to use these to remove wax/polish and to remove quick detailer between waxes. I plan to buy the waffleweave for drying. Thanks!
