    Questions about the steps I took

    I have a black, 2007 Mazdaspeed 3. Paint is in good shape, aside form the usual chips from a DD. I spent last weekend learning how to use Optimum Compound, which was a pretty big learning curve coming from only using the SSR line. OC will work down FOREVER and I can't stand the dusting of the...

    N00b with questions

    I've recently found this site after a guy on my Protege forum made a post that convinced me that my paint was not nearly as good as it could be. After spending lots of money, I am the proud owner of a PC7424, and a whole slew of detailing products. I've decided that I like Poorboys, especially...
