    Swirl/smear question

    So about 2 weekends ago I went over my whole car with my new PC using IP, struggled early and was running out of time with the FP so I skipped it and just went straight to AIO and SG. Over the next 2 days I got 2 more coats of SG on her. She looked really good. Still some scratches that are a...

    Weekend project - WRX's

    Saturday I got up, washed my car and threw a coat of P21S over the SGx3. Really cleaned things up nicely. Then I headed over to a friends place to debadge his WRX. He's got 28000 miles on it already, so there was some "aging" under the letters. A few seconds with the PC, yellow pad and...

    04 Subaru WRX Wagon

    Finally got around to removing swirls from the winter on my black WRX. Used my new PC for the second time with Menzerna intensive polish. I tried final polish and wasn't happy with the results. Honestly didn't see any hazing from the intensive, so I just did the Klasse twins over it. Cleaned...

    First PC job

    So Saturday I put a hurting on myself and worked on 2 cars; my dad's silver 95 SHO and my black 04 WRX. Only washed the WRX, it hasn't had anything else since a full Klasse treatment in November. It looks good from afar, but far from good. Lots of swirls that I plan to work on tomorrow. Used...

    Pre-Autopia products - what to do?

    So what should I do with some of my pre-Autopia supplies? Here's a quick inventory: crappy glass cleaner - almost gone. Probably use it around the house a few tire dressings I'm not crazy about - use them on other peoples cars. ;) A few splashes of QD's and a clay bar - probably use these...

    CMA Glass Cleaning Kit

    I just got this today and I already love it! Comes with the orange Viper glass MF and Einmann (sp?) Clear Vision. No lint that I get with any other MF. I just read not to wash it with other MF's which I already did. :( Hopefully I didn't screw it up, but I doubt it. Either way, I really...

    Spring cleaning process questions

    So I'm getting ready for my first full season after finding Autopia last October. I made a lot of stupid mistakes during the winter in washing and brushing snow off my black WRX and have a lot of scratches/swirls as a result. I've ordered the 7424 bonus kit from Coastal (includes white foam...

    Gel Coat/Motorhome suggestions wanted

    So I was unable to think of anything to give my dad for his bday, so I told him I'd detail the exterior on their 35' motorhome. It's a 1 year old Monaco that he keeps covered when it's not in use, so there shouldn't be much cleaning or oxidation required. I've searched and noted that AIO is...

    New paint question

    So my sister just had her car fixed from a small accident. She doesn't care about her car at all compared to the people here, so for those purposes the repair looks pretty good. Now the puzzling part, the place that did the repair told her not to wash it for a month and not to wax it for 2...

    Newbie first Klasse job (56k beware)

    Well I finally got to go over my WRX with Klasse today. I used jimwh's writeup as a guide, along with one from Proper Auto Care.com I don't know if I didn't get enough SG on, but it came off with ease. I was surprised after some of the things I've been reading lately. I used Proper's...

    Black Magic QD - use with Klasse/P21S?

    So I got my Klasse, P21S and MF's, but now it's a lousy, rainy weekend so I'm just trying to read and learn more. I've seen lots of discussion about ingredients in different QD's and what should and shouldn't be used with Klasse/P21S. I just bought a bottle of Black Magic Wet Shine before I...

    Removing swirls from a 6 month old car

    Great site you've got/I've found here! So I've been reading here for a few days and trying to figure out a plan for my WRX. She's about 5 months old and I've done something wrong at some point on it and have a lot of swirl marks. How do I determine what is causing the swirl marks? What would...

    n00b intro

    Hey all. Just found a link here from a person on ClubWRX.net. I've got a 6 month old 2004 Java Black Pearl WRX Wagon. Trying to keep it clean, but that black is a bugger. Hoping to learn a few good tricks here. I'm 27 and live in the Metro Detroit area. Before my WRX I had 3 Taurus SHO's...
