Here's the setup: After all of the polishing that I did a few weeks ago, and after the oils left from #80 are all but gone, I have a bunch of swirls and holograms reappearing. Here was my process 2 days after paint: 1) Wetsand using 2000 Meguiar's Unigrit Sandpaper 2) Compound with...

This is the SECOND time I had my car repainted since October. I feel lucky, because after the first time I wasn't completely satisfied (Autopia ruined me!!!). Lots of sanding marks, fish eyes, swirls, etc. The second repaint was a vast improvement. More gold pearl and overall a more...

I've tried Picasa2 and Adobe Photoshop but can't find what I'm looking for. All I want to do is rub out the license plate from my photos so I can post some new pics. What do you guys use?

Got my car back today fresh from the shop. It's Ferrari Red with a gold pearl. The painter knew that I wanted to wetsand and buff myself so he shot an extra coat of clear. I also painted the wheels gold to match A shot to show off the pearl Today I practiced wetsanding and...

What PC pad would give me a little more cut than the Sonus Orange? Maybe the Propel yellow or Megs maroon, or any other pad you can think of? I'm looking for a more aggresive pad because the Sonus Orange and DACP aren't enough for my tase...

While browsing the web today I ran across this article: Is Carnauba Paste Wax A Dinosaur? It's troubling, but it makes perfect sense. Hard to imagine the detailing world without carnaubas (but I'm sure many pros have known this for awhile). It will be interesting to see the change in...

The first time I used QEW I didn't like it. I was kinda hesitant to use it on a DRY car so I sprayed the whole car down first. As I continued to QEW I noticed my chenille wash mitts getting very soiled. Even when I dipped them and scrubbed them in the rinse bucket they were still black. I...

Each manufacturer makes a QD that is specific to their LSP, but what if you want to use a different QD from another maker? For example, I know people here are using Clearkote QuickShine a lot on both caranaubas and polymers. I'd like to know which QD everyone is using on which LSP...

I have used the AIO and absolutely LOVE it. I plan on using this stuff as the base for my waxes. I wanted to know if MPPC can be used the same way or how are people using it? What about WG paint cleaner?

I have read about the success people are having using a rotary but anybody use these as there go-to via PC?

I have used this product after polishing then following with a carnauba. I have used it as a pre-polish via recommendation from Mike Phillips. And have used it on my car's new paint a few times because it is new paint safe. And I loved it every time... Now, with a plethora of new...

I hope this thread doesn't infringe on any of our laws/rules. I think in the long run it benefits everyone. I apologize if it does and please remove this post if it violates any policies. Now, on to the fun!!! On this post please list products that you have and what you would like to try...

How do you recommend removing the carnauba without removing the sealant? (For instance, removing the #16 that you put on top of the AIO / SG to try P21S on top of the AIO / SG) Just wait until the carnauba disappears or start over? Spring will be great to experiment with the products I...

First I'd like to say thank you for everyone involved with Autopia. You guys are super HELPFUL and KNOWLEDGABLE and I'm glad to be a part of this forum. I am a CONVERT to the REAL way to care for the appearance of our vehicles... A little background: I got interested in detailing while my...
