Was about to bite on some HD Polish or Optimum to try something new, but shipping is almost as much as the product. Shipping cost would be fine if I need a lot of products, but I really only need a good swirl mark remover/polish for a harder clear coat like used on Ford Edge. Live over in...

Haven't been on the boards in a while, and out of the detailing scene, so at this point playing catch up on what is out there that people are adopting in their regimen. Have a new Ford Edge Sport with black pearl paint. Paint needs a full work over, so will do the usual clay, light cutting...

don't have a whole lot of time anymore to detail my cars, I will probably only use this at least 2x a year, maybe a few times more. Anything to take note of about the harborfreight rotary? Its sounds like it had some decent reviews from people here, and has varible speeds too. Can't beat...

Since I may only use this thing one or twice a year, I really don't want to buy all new pads and a backing pad, would like to take the backing pad and pads from my PC and fit them on the harborfreight buffer... Anyone know if I can do this, and is this ok and safe to use? Or will I have to...

I got a brandy new set of IForged 3-piece wheels. To say the least, they have the bolts that go around the wheel, and a bunch of crevices for brake dust and dirt to get into. Since a foam pad or cotton wash pad will not do the job in getting to these small areas, I will need some sort of...

figuring on doing my Jetta today since its nice out. Wooped out the bottle of FI-II and went to work on a small section of my hood to see what the results would be, and to my surprise, not much happended:eek: :rolleyes: Great, I still see a good amount of swirls in the paint. It is really sunny...

Not to raise any flags or red alerts as of yet..... but there may be an issue with the bottles Clearkoat is using. The bottle is Vinyl and not best used for petroleum distillates. My bottle of VM I've had now for about maybe 3 months, haven't had really any chance to use it much because of the...

Hey everyone, gonna try and make this short. Have an 02 Trans Am WS6 where I sanded and polished the two front aluminum calipers. I then sprayed them with a red clear coat to give them a red metal look. Then I coated a metallic translucent red paint on top of this to give some extra sparkle...

Rather than have a discussion as to who thinks a towel is better type contest, looking into the technical aspects who thinks what type of material is better over another, and/or what kind of towel is better over one or the other. The age old best has always been 100% hight quality cotton from...

Never got to have that sunny day today in NJ, plus its supposed to rain again tonight, so I didn't bother touching my car other than hosing it down and a quick QD. Was bringing some of my buddies stuff back to his house including his bottle of collinite's #845 Liquid Insulator Wax. I figured...

Okay, finally, a somewhat sunny day tomorrow. Gotta remove all the water spots and stains and slight etching zaino did not protect against. Need to find out if I used a pc with VM if it will remove all the zaino on the car?? If I do use VM, can I then safely top it with Z5 and Z2? Or do I...

Well, I think I've finally give up on Zaino. I have my 02 Silver WS6 which was left out in the rain and pollen for a couple days to make sure the leak I had was surely fixed. Well, after the rain, I wiped down the car clean and applied some zaino. At night I went to go cover my car back up for...

just as the title says...

I know there is no sure way to use the PC as every person here uses their own products and pads, on different cars, with different results. But I’d like to gather some info from everyone here as to what good experiences or results you’ve gotten from different combo’s. For me, I’ve got...

This is a pretty strange occurence. To start off, I've finally got a PC to use. I wetsanded the hood of my VW today to even the clearcoat out. I used 2000 grit paper. I then followed up with 3M FI-II with the wool pad, then the CMA yellow pad. I kept the speed around 4krpm. I completely broke...

How do these MF's compare to say the microfibertech's MF's in quality and plushness, scratch test, etc?

Just wondering if anyone here knows how well Mothers carnuba paste wax compares to the know waxes used on this board. Haven't heard much of it at all, everything main stream is Meguires for some reason...

Which one of these products should I get to use after SMR, I am really debating on either of them. The GEPC I can get from CMA with the rest of my order from there, but which would work better, or give better results. I will probably use a very good carnumba wax afterwards, or start the zaino...

What should I use after SMR'ing a car? Usually I go straight to carnuba wax. What about everyone else?? How about 3M's glaze? Is this good stuff. i got a bottle, but I may return it. Figured maybe glase the paint, then carnuba it. Or should I do something before the glaze??

Go to this link: http://www.italytocco.qpg.com/ Try out the Tacco Magico tire gloss, which is in an aerosol canister. Its sprays a very finit mist in about a 2-2.5" diameter. It is an oil based product which provides a good matt finish if sprayed lightly, or a really nice gloss finish if...
