I was looking for opinions on the Meguiar's Cleaner Wax as a paintwork cleaner before a sealant. I have typically used Klasse AIO as my cleaner before applying Wolfgang Sealant, but I am almost out of AIO and I have a sample bottle of the Megs Cleaner Wax around. If it works well, especially...

In the past Ive used the Wolfgang Swirl Cutter with my Porter Cable when I had minor scratches or defects that needed removing in my paint. While detailing a 2000 Camaro Z28 I just purchased I ran out of it. I was able to finish the detail job and still get it to look good, but for next time, is...

I finally ran out of WG sealant and I think I will order its replacement soon since Autogeek is having the Memorial Day sale. Ive been using Klasse AIO and topping it with WG and Ive loved the results, but I see that some here think there are better products out there. I now live in an...

I tried to search but the search feature hasn't been working for me for some time. I will be moving to an apartment at the end of the month and my 98 C5 has been used to staying with a roof over its head at night. It will be daily driven and I've been thinking about getting a car cover to...

Yup...today, I spent some quality time with my C5....a few friends decided to join... Results: Process: Wash with Meg's Gold Class car wash Clay with Clay Magic Clay Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover via Porter Cable and orange WG pad (as needed)...

air dry after washing it. What I mean by this is....wash your car with soap and water, rinse it off, and let it air dry with normal hose water. I would NEVER do this to my cars, but I know several people who do this and are too lazy to dry it down. Before I came along, my g/f did her car like...

Has anybody here tried this? I need some more finishing polish to go with my WG Sealant and I was trying to decide whether to get the DP or go back with the WG polish...the attractive thing about DP is, they are having a sale on Autogeek where I can get a 32oz container for the price of a 16oz...

I was curious on the opinion of this board on wet sanding. Ive been doing some occasional work at a stealership and they seem to be 'wet sand crazy' lately. Today, I was called in to work on a 05 Sunfire with some nasty bugs on it. I have done nothing but wash the car so far, and I already have...

How can I tell when a car's clear coat is too thin to detail with a PC and an abrasive product. I have some Wolfgang Swirl Remover and I plan to use it on my g/f's 00 Neon. The car is exposed to the elements 24/7 and the paint is very dull looking. However, I dont want to kill her clearcoat if...

Anybody have experience with 3M polishes such as their swirl remover with a PC? How well does it do, and did you have to use another abrasive product after your 3M polish to smooth it out? I would do a seach on it, but the search engine doesn't like "3M"

How can you tell when a paint job is too far gone to attack with a PC? My g/f has a 2000 Neon, dark orange metallic, and it has experienced years of neglect before I came along. It stays outside 24/7 and wasn't waxed for a few years, and when they washed the car, they never dried it off. Over...

For you guys who do details as a side job, how much do you usually charge for a detail. List what you do according to the price.

Im picking up a backing plate and a couple pads for use on my 98 Corvette, Torch Red. I already have the Wolfgang PreWax Cleaner and Paint Sealant that Ive used before. I have a bottle of the Wolfgang Swirl Remover that just came out in transit too. I have some marring from claybarring and over...

Im looking into finally getting a Porter Cable. I see two different models for sale, hte 7424 and the 7336. Is there a difference between these two? Also, what pads do you recommend getting to accompany the PC? I will use the PC mostly for polishing and removing swirls rather than applying the...

Does anybody know of a product you can put on your windshield that would prevent it from fogging over? I have an occasional problem in which when its really humid and I run my a/c, it causes my windshield to fog/condense over in places.

When is a car too dirty to be dusted off with a Cali Car Duster? Same thing for quick detail. Also, is the mixture of a capful of NXT car soap and water just as good as the store bought QD? I know it will do fine for claybaring, but will it leave streaks if I QD it?

For those of you who switched to WW Microfiber towels for drying your car, how often to you wash the towel? Do you wash it after each use, or just rinse it out and let it dry and wash it every so often?

I plan to detail my g/f's 2000 Neon, dark orangeish metallic color, within the next week or so. She lives on a dirt road and the car stays outside at all times, and the paint isn't in the best shape. Before she met me, her can had never been waxed in the 2 years she has owned it, and when they...

For the past 2 days, Ive been working on and off on my C5, wash, clay, Wolfgang polish and sealant. The Wolfgang is EXCELLENT on red I might add :cool: Anyways, after doing the sealant, I took the car on a little trip out of town last night and afterwards, but it back in the garage and shut the...

I was talking with my g/f tonight telling her about all the steps I am going through on my detail with my Vette (wash, clay, sctatchx, wolfgang twins, s100). She is like "There is no way I would spend all that time and money on my car. Its just a car." So, just how crazy does your friends and/or...
