I started a thread the other day inquiring about MF bonnets for polish removal (thanks to all who replied, much appreciated!) I bought a 2nd PC to use strictly as a polish remover, thinking it would save me some time. Eh, not so much. I slipped the MF bonnet on over the stock foam pad...

I'm trying to get a pipline of customers this year, but one of the things that makes detailing so very hard for me is the time I spend manually removing products such as FP, AIO and SG. Has anyone ever used the PC to remove these products using some kind of buffing bonnet? If so, where can...

Hi guys! I recently did a car with LC yellow pad + Menzerna IP, followed by FP with a LC white pad. Are the Sonus pads any better? What color pads would correspond to LC's yellow and white? Also, how much pressure should I be putting on the PC? I made passes at just under speed 5...

Hi everyone, here is my Mazda3 that I started last night and finished this morning. Man, we've had some awesome weather in CT for the past 3 or 4 days, I couldn't help but take advantage :woohoo: Clay Klasse AOI Klasse SG S100 Meguiars High Endurance on the tires. The car is pretty...

Hi guys. Just wondering what brand or kind of tire dressing you use. I just picked up a new car from the dealer a few weeks ago, and of course the tires looked brilliant. After a few washes and whatnot, I started using Meguairs High Endurance tire gel with a curved foam applicator. The tire...

Hi everyone. Just a few days ago I decided to start work on the car. Up until this winter th paint was in almost perfect condition, but I was unable to keep it garaged this year. The mighty New England snow brush put all types of marks on the car, but nothing serious...at least, I think. I...

Hi everyone. I've had a lot of construction going on at my house and haven't been able to clean and detail the car in a LONG time. I've ignored the condition of my car but yesterday I had to take a peek, and it looked terrible...lots of junk on the rocker panels and things like that. Can...

Hey all, it sure has been a while! I have some new stuff and was wondering if anyone would be able to take a look at my method and see if there could be any improvement. Here goes! - wash - clay with Griot's claybar - wash - Menzerna FP on white pad from CMA on PC (not sure about speed...

Hey everyone! For those of you with cars that don't sit low to the ground, how do you go about detailing the roof of your cars? I already have short arms which makes things kind of difficult and sometimes I don't even feel like polishing the roof, but at the same time I just can't ingore...

Hi all! I currently use the Klasse twins on my car. I love the product...very durable, awesome shine. But I've been hearing about the Meguiars NXT tech wax and spray...how does it compare? Is durability and protection the same as in Klasse? What about ease of application? Shine...

Alright, I have what appears to be flecks of tar (or something!) on my rims, mostly on the 2 front tires. It's very hard to clean with just soap and a brush, so I've even tried De-solv-it (orange based citrus cleaner) and that KINDA worked, but it's going to take some real elbow grease to get...

Alright, did the full Autopian detail on Friday with the the new PC. I posted a thread about this yesterday (about Meg's #9), pardon the redundancy. Here's what I did.... Wash Clay Wash Meg's #9 AIO SG s100 Now, I still have some very light spiderwebbing on some my of my hood and...

I saw my detailed car under some lights at night last night (I spent the entire day detailing) and I swear I have more spidder webbing then when I first started. I washed, clayed, washed, used #9, then AIO and SG, followd by s100. Did I do something wrong? I'm wondering if maybe I should...

Hi all. Is it safe to use Megs #9 and klasse on my bumpers? I have color-coded matching bumperwork, as most folks do I suppose :D But I was just wondering moreso for #9 than Klasse....if it's safe. Thanks!!

Hi all. My white pads from CMA just arrived, and I just had a question as to what speed to set my 7242 at. I'll be applying Meg's #9 to my car using the PC, but I'm not quite sure what speed to set it on, or if it even matters. Also, I wanted to apply Klasse AIO with the PC as...

After MONTHS of delays, I finally got my hands on a PC 7424! Warmer days are just around the corner (at least in my opinion :D ) and I just had a few follow-up questions... I plan on using Meguiars #9 swirl remover followed by Klasse AIO and SG. Which pads to I need for each product...

Just ordered a PC that should be here in about 1 day (According the tracking number! :D ) and I had one quick question... Over the course of time I've heard people mention something about counterweights for the PC...can someone explain this? TIA!

Well, yesterday afternoon, I was delighted to see my new PC arrive at my doorstep! Now I'm all ready for my fall/winter detail. Here's the process I think I'll be doing. Let me know if anything is terribly wrong and/or could use improvement :cool: I've got a 2002 Mercedes-Benz C230K with...

Hi all! I'm not a frequest poster although I do lurk my brains out, and I've gained some outstanding info from you all that have made my car here the shiniest around! As some of you may know, I had a couple of guys come out to my house this summer to clay my car and apply Klasse AIO and...
