    Weird...I think my M105 went bad :( (DA version)

    A warning on "paint wrinkle"!!!

    This thread was created to warn others detailers, novice, experienced, and even the pros. So I was working on a new Honda Element last Sunday, only very minor correction needed. The plan of attack was to use M205 via the Flex and a polishing pad. There was however a few RIDS that needed M105...

    Spot Correction

    I have a White '96 Porsche that only sees the outdoors on perfect days. I think I may have got caught in a rain shower four times in 3 years. I have always used 3M wax but am considering trying Zaino. I am looking for the best shine I can get and for a product that reduces the amount of...
