Hi guys, I had a question that's been on my mind.. the majority of my swirls are on my hood/fenders/trunk... I corrected these specific panels and I'm satisfied with the result I've achieved using M105 with a PC.... now, is it normal practice to continue using M105 on the entire...

Well, I have a new spoiler that needs two different holes than my OEM spoiler. When the new one is mounted on, two holes are exposed, which are about the size of a dime, maybe slightly larger. my question for all of you is, should I tackle the task of filling in the holes myself or should...

Hi, I usually have a solution for most detailing problems, but this one I can't figure out. This is the first time I've encountered this (it's a new used car for me). There are marks on the exterior side of the glass that look like something similar to hard water stains. They are only...

Just wanted to say hi...I know most of you don't know me but I was pretty active on this forum last summer, and then college started :o Anyway, I have spring break this week and within the next two days I will restore the luster on my car! :) If anyone knows where Davis is, in Northern...

Hi everyone, Did you see BlackRegal's interior carpet job in his member gallery? It is amazing! I just wanted to know how he got the interior so clean. I got paid do clean an interior but didn't do half as good a job as he did. I'm posting this because he doesn't have PM or e-mail...

I waxed a black 2k Mustang yesteday, and I had LOTS of hazing on the front hood. I let it dry for 10 minutes and buffed off with a MF. It didn't come off completely. There were rainbowish streaks everywhere, in the direction of application. I was in a state of minor panic. i tried lots of QD...

Hey Guys, After taking many of your suggestions on pricing, web design, and everything else, I've come up with a website. I'm really not even too busy yet, I just have a few customers here and there. I just thought it would be fun to make a website for my business. http://chriswax.cjb.net...

Hi- I just invested in a $17 Unigrit block that's 1500 grit. Is it necessary to get the 2000 also to get a smoother finish, or is 1500 enough to get rid of the blotches of touch-up that the previous owner left? If so, I guess I'm going to have to spend another $18 tomorrow. Thanks everyone.

I really hate using foam applicators, well, combined with Klasse SG that is. I've tried different brands but each one I've used, I've gotten "caught" (the applicator would fold up on one of my back or forth motions) because the foam wasn't wet enough. I have a feeling that some of the foam...

Hi, In the last few weeks I've done the following: Dawn, 3M Fine Cut and 3M SMR, AOIx3, SGx5. I was very, very disappointed to find a slew of micro scratches all over the passeger side fender, to the door, and even across to the passenger side rear door. I'm so mad at myself because it...

I paid $47 at Vistaprint.com to make my own custom cards. It came out much more expensive than I thought, and I was a little too exited to get them so I chose the $12 priority shipping. Now that I have some on hand I won't be paying that much again. Here is how they turned out though...

Hi, I called every single number in my phone book under the yellow pages: Motorcycles. About 6 of them sold S100, but none of them had the paste wax. I checked my local Harley dealer, 1 Honda m/c dealer, Kawasaki, Suzuki, etc. No luck :( (Anyone in the East Bay of NorCal know where to get...

Hello, I got into a small disagreement with a certain member on another forum I visit. Basically I post that I am excited to get some Souveran very soon, as soon as I gather up enough money to get it. I get a reply saying something like, "you really think that stuff is so good huh...

1996 Nissan Maxima Ruby Pearl (a 5 speed too :xyxthumbs ) I'm sorry to post such low quality pics, but the built in digicam feature on my miniDV cam is the only one I have right now. It takes very low quality pics, but I know that I promised to post some kind of result so here they are...

Hi, I'm very interested in seeing what all of the hype is about on this expensive wax. If anyone could give me enough for two applications for a good price, I would be very grateful. (is it even possible to transport the wax w/o the container?) Or, if anyone has just a little bit left...

Hi, I've read a lot of the big threads about starting up a business. Right now I'm on summer break from college, and I haven't been able to find a job too easily. That's why I'm deciding to start a small business doing detailing work. I'm going to go mobile, and drive to anyone who lives around...

If you check a little lower on this forum, you'll see that I'm following a long detailing plan. Right now, I'm on step 3, 3M SMR. I used it about 3 or 4 times on the hood, and once on the trunk. In one area of the trunk (the one in the pic, I used it about 3 times). Could someone identify...

Hi, I'm really enjoying being an Autopian. I really take pride that I'm a part of this forum now. Anyway, I'm planning to do a full detail this weekend. 1) Dawn 2) Clay 3) SMR 4) Dawn 5) Klasse AOI x 2 (or 3?) with 1 hour intervals 6) Klasse SG x 3 with 24 hour intervals 7) Blitz...

Hello, The previous owner of my Ruby Pearl 96 Maxima has a few spots of touch up paint on the hood. In my garage, they are very noticible. Is there a procedure to reduce the appearance of these (i.e. wet sanding, polishing, etc)? The area touched up protrudes a bit higher than the actual...

Hi- I started one thread in the Autopia Univ. section about using Klasse. I have a good feeling on how to properly and effectively use it now, it's just I have a bit of a problem on my front hood. In a certain kind of light, usually from an angle or a shine from my floresecent garage...
