This is a little off-topic from this forum, but since I've invested in polishing equipment (PC, Menzerna, Klasse, Zaino, etc.), I'm wondering if anyone has used the same general process to rid swirls from cultured marble counters (such as in bathrooms). Anyone try this?

Do any of you go the extra mile and clean under the car? If so, what products / process do you use? This may not be practical for a daily driver, but I'd like to do it just as a once-over every 5 years to bring it back to "factory fresh."

1. It's well-known that "thinner is better," but how thin can I go? Sometimes I'll have the MF pad with some Z-(whatever) and after a wiping half a panel, see the streaks immediately evaporate on the surface and not see a haze. Is this too thin or is it okay? I thought I read somewhere that...

I polished and sealed half of the car last weekend and I need to do the rest this or next weekend. Where the finished / unfinished panels meet, I plan to mask off the finished edges with blue tape. However, I'm worried that the tape might remove LSP, even if it's the "delicate" version of blue...

I guess beading is one of those indicators of how well the protection on your car is working. However, I'd like to understand why that is (scientifically speaking). I've always though that was odd as my philosophy is "if it's super slick, the water will slide right off!" (assuming that there's...

I nudged this question into another thread but didn't get a full answer so I'm posting it again (as it was originally somewhat off-topic anyway). I've done a few cars with the PC so far and each time it takes me 15 - 20 hours to go through the polishing stage. I'm either really slow or just...

In what situations would you use a mild vs. medium clay? I might be working on a friend's '99 Mustang (blue) and the paint hasn't been cared for very well. It's never garaged, always exposed to the elements 24x7, and not regularly washed. The paint has some oxidation. When I tried using...

I've been re-polishing my 2001 GTI (daily driver) this weekend using SIP on a 4" LC orange pad and a PC. Oddly enough, it now looks better than when I polished it a couple of months ago using #83 on a 6.5" orange pad followed up KAIO on a white pad. It seems less hazy now, and it looks pretty...

I only have experience with Clay Magic. However, I would like to have a clay which I can use every 3 - 6 months that doesn't harm the LSP (P21S, Zaino, or KSG) and this clay claims to be so light in its aggressiveness that it won't hurt the paint's icing on the cake. I know many people here...

A few weeks ago I did my first detail with the PC using Meg's #83 (LC orange) with 2 passes, then KAIO (LC white), then SG by hand (only cured for a few hours due to time constraints), then topped with P21S. This is on a 2001 VW GTI in Matchstick Red and I understand these clear coats are hard...
