The trim on my car is fading.... The material is a SUPER HARD rubber or a plastic. It is so hard that it seems like painted metal... Where the "paint" or dye is fading it turned to a dull rubber color, leaving me to believe its NOT metal. Will the TRIM DYE KITS work on this type of trim...

I should have researched this earlier! Car is just washed and dry...but its 10pm and i'm running out of time! I used megs 80 and 4 star upp a month ago on my mom's car. I wanted to put another quick coat of upp on the roof and hood tonight, but it was rougher than i hoped for. I just hit...

Hey, i got just about 2 SHORT uses out of my edge 2000 6" blue polishing pad before it separated. The white piece that the pad is sandwiched around is loose, and allows no polishing action. Is there something i did wrong, or does this just happen? I was using it on my PC, and didn't let it...

I originally purchased the Megs "00 Professional Car Wash". It cost 6 bucks or so and i got 16 oz. While at wall mart i found Megs NXT Car wash in what looks to be gallon size for the same 6 bucks. Which is better and why? Is either a bad choice? What wash is the BEST to use on easily...

I'm a newb for starters. I've been using my edge medium and light cutting pads with M80 and M83. For either of teh products or pads it seems that the more pressure(within reason and without slowing/stoping my Porter Cable) the more i get done. Is that ok to put a good amount of pressure...

Just that. I have 3 month old polish from a previous detailer left in EVERY CRACK AND CREVICE...... Now i'm detailing myself, and this is bugging the heck out of me. I'm going to try my pad cleaner from pnnacle now...but is there a better/different way?

I install cabinets for a living, and go to school full time. Every once in a while i get side jobs. Being unlicensed and uninsured(and slightly ocd!!), i am VERY nervous about any liability to myself. Basically, i don't want to be responsible for doing extensive fire or electrical damage to a...

4 month old, black paint job. PPG "GLOBAL" series paint, w 1 1/2 gallons clear. CAR IS SCRATCHED and SWIRLED beyond belief. I'm using the PC, the edge orange light cutting pad, and #83. This isn't doing what i want fast enough. I just spent nearly 2 hours of strait buffing on JUST THE HOOD...

I just got my new PC and edge pads... Is it supposed to vibrate A LOT. After like 10 minutes my hands are VERY TINGLY and feel like they need a brake... It litteraly vibrates as much, or more than my dewalt random orbit sander on WOOD with 80 grit paper.... is that normal?? From...

Black paint job with swirls and scratches EVERYWHERE. Using the PC and edge pads. I spent literally one hour on a 2 by 2 section with the white polishing pad and the meguires #83. Prepped the pad and used speed 6. After all that time, it looked better, but still WAY too many scratches...

Happy- Glad this stuff came!!! Like Christmas came early!!! Confused- I got the PC and megs #83, #80, and #21 to use in my freshly paintd, heavily swirrled black car. I got the edge 2000 pad KIT, with the conditioner/cleaner. Can you give me suggestions on which pad to use with the #83...

What do you think of using the Mr. Clean system to RINSE a black car off? So far, that is the only way i have found to rinse my car after a wash without leaving streaks or swirls from drying.. I just use my regular wash method, then use the Mr.Kleen to rinse... I emediatly go for a freeway...

Well, i can no longer go about life like I used to. I love cars and always used to notice nice/expensive/modified cars of any/all calibers. NOW that i have been on this freekin' website for a couple weeks i can't even look at cars the same!!! No matter how expensive or cheap a car is, i...

Sorry, another question guys!!! Just ordered the pc and the 100 dollar Edge pad kit. My plans were to use the M83 M80 M21. I chose that line because it was only 3 products and the uses seemed simple. 83-bad swirls etc. M80- light swirls, etc. M21- final step, sealant...

I will be purchasing the Porter Cable 7424 as soon as i get the "o.k" from you good men! From what i've gathered the PC 7424 will be the only tool i need as a novice for my fresh black paint job. It sounds like it will do most of what the rotaries can do witout the danger. right? Unless...

I'm sorry for the noob post, but i've read as much as possible on this forum(even read the "guide to detailing") and the more i read the more my head hurts. There are so many options that i am baffled as to what will work best for my new paint job. Three months ago i had my car painted with...
