I have been having much difficulty using ONR. No matter what I do, I seem to be left with a residue that when wiped, leaves streaks that look like very fine swirls. However, when i wipe them again in the other direction, the streaks go the other way. The car is black, so in the sun, the film...

I just bought a 1983 Jaguar XJ6 and I've finally got it running pretty well. I want to make it look as good as it runs. A big issue with this particular car is the condition of the paint--it looks like hell! It is badly checked. Apparently for this car, the paint job is probably original...

I have had some frustration trying to get a place setup where I can comfortably work on my car at my own pace and in relative privacy. http://www.autopia.org/forum/car-detailing/137994-power-inverter-flex-vrg-3401-will-one-work.html Is anyone doing any polishing, etc., at their home on an...

Well I attempted to polish with my Flex VRG 3401 and OHC and OH Polish with very lackluster results, so I'm going to try to give it another shot this weekend--this time with M105/205, which I have had success with in the past. My question is this: I clayed the entire car 2 weeks ago, do I...

I have a 2012 Mustang V6 that I plan to polish in my garage bay. Unfortunately, there is no electrical hookup and I have no place to store a gas generator, even if I wanted to. Does anyone have any idea if this one (below) will be able to run my Flex VRG 3401 and perhaps one halogen lamp...

I bet there are other threads on just this subject, but I thought I'd ask anyway--what towels are best to use for ONR? I have been using Costco MF towels for a while now, and I've come to the conclusion that many of this board already have, which is that they are no good. Even with no LSP they...

Well, do you? I have been using Lucas Oil Quick Mist Speedwax which I thought was great, but then started to realize that is streaks somewhat--it looks like it's off, but then you get what look like very very fine scratches in the paint, which are actually really fines scratches in the QD-spray...

Well, I finally got around to ordering some of Optimum's polishing products. I plan on using it at some point with my Flex 3401 VRG and the Lake Country Hydro pads I have. The car hasn't been polished since about March and still looks great from 20+ feet away, but closer up at certain angles I...

I am just picking up my front bumper cover today that I had repaired and repainted. I know this has been covered a million times, but do I need to wait before I wax the bumper? I'd rather just wax it right away because otherwise bugs and crap will get stuck on there so bad (it's June now)...

I don't really understand how it can be a polish (it is advertised as one). Everything I read about it says that people apply it by hand and somehow it has some "swirl removers" in it? How is that possible? Swirls are impractical to remove by hand, right? Am I missing something?

I don't know if this is the right forum or even the right website to ask this, but I am looking for a car cover to put on my car during the week when I'm not driving it. The car is parked in a carport (like a covered breezeway, not completely enclosed), so it mostly stays dry, although if...

I got my windows tinted a few months ago, and I have noticed that I seem to have to clean my windows much less frequently! Why is this? My windows used to get this film that was noticeable after a couple weeks. It's been a couple months since I've really cleaned my windows and they still...

I did a polishing job this weekend and I think it turned out pretty good. However, I was using M105 and M205, and it seems that excess M105/205 has ended up in all the rock chips and minor cracks in the clearcoat on my hood, causing them to stand out much more than they did before I started the...

I just bought a Flex 3401 VRG (should arrive today), but I want to buy additional pads for it. Do you know what pads will work well with M105 and M205 and will fit on the standard backing plate that comes with it? I kinda need a quick answer because I want to order the additional pads today...

Why do I always have to buy my detailing stuff online. Are there any brick and mortar stores that sell this stuff?

Hi guys, I am thinking of trying to undertake the paint correction process myself as I have done some polishing with a PC7424 in the past and I have enjoyed it quite a bit, although back then I demanded less perfection than I do now! (I also have more knowledge of products and techniques...
