What do you guys consider the most effective method of washing prior to clay/polish? I **"really"** want to try and make certain that I'm getting as much off in the wash as I can, as to not mar as much with the clay. I realize this is a tad OCD, I just really don't want to risk ANYTHING getting...

Just dug out my old PC 7336 this evening and cleaned it up. Does this model have enough power to work HD Polish the way it needs? I know there are lot's better units out there, just looking to get started for now.

Got a CCNA, CCNA Voice and a ton of lab gear... just curious if there we any others on the board that are into both.

Haven't really been on here in many MANY years. At one point (before a car wreck and a whole lot of other bad "life" juju happened) I "really" got into this stuff. Had a Black 01 Dodge Intrepid RT that easily outshined most other vehicles on the road due to the amount of knowledge I learned...

I'm usually not one to post anything in click and brag, but the floor in this old Chevy Metro was such an improvement that I just had to take a FEW pics. So I figured, scince I've never posted anything in click and brag, why not start now. Car belongs to a pet trainer, that loves DOGS, so...

I know a lot of people are against doing a Dawn wash, and there are varying opinions. I like to do a Dawn wash, on vehicles that are really contaminated and dirty, BUT only before polishing. I figure, If I can do any damage, it isn't going to be THAT much, with ONE wash, not to mention, I'm...

Last week, after washing my car, I found some tar and a few bugs on the lower panels of my car, you know, the really grungy areas like the rocker panels. I went down to the basement to get a can of Tarminator, sprayed it on, let it dwell for a minute, then wiped it clean with a fresh MF. I...

Is there a way to use the PC on this? I imagine you could, however, it would miss the sections that are lower than the rest. Is this something that is required to be polished by hand? If so, is there anytihng I can do to speed up the process? I have a Caravan coming up, and this will the the...

Just curious if anyone on here could get me a gmail invite....from what I understand thats how it works, you have to be invited. Is there another way about it?

You guys know that I know better than to use an auto dry for anything. However, I got to thinking, during the final rinse, what about using it to filter the rinse water, so it doesnt spot up as bad? After doing a healthy obsessive compulsive foam gun wash (of course). Any comments?

What can I say, my leather is trashed, its dark leather, and while it still doesnt show the dirt, I can tell its in pretty bad shape. At least as far as the front seats go. What I'm looking for is a way to pre-clean these seats, to get off as much grime as I can, so that when I do the...

where there is so much contamination on the lower panels, nose, and rear of the vehicle, that claying would be both a waste of time, and would do more harm then good. Other than a thorough washing what more can be done for polish prep work. I've been encountering some really contaminated paint...

How many WW towels does thye average person go through when drying an average vehicle. I only have one Megs water magnet, and I feel like I need to be getting some mroe ww's. I think the more they load up, the more they can leave water behind on your paint. Any experiences? TIA :bigups

Which OTC Shampoo would be more harsh on my LSP MEGS Gold class or NXT. I;ve been using NXT here lately in my foam gun, and in the solution bucket because I havent had the money or the luxury to order anything nice yet. I KNOW that this is very hard on my LSP. Just trying to explore my options...

I'm very OCD about how I wash my car, accumulator method....whole nine yards, and while I feel like my vehicle is 90 some percent clean, we all know that no matter how you wash, theres still going to be SOMEthing on on your paint, even if the wind blew something on it. That bieng said, how does...

I really dont have that many microfiber towels in my arsenal, and as much as I detail, I need a LOT to get me by. Whatever I end up getting, I may end up buying as much as 40 or more. Does any specific brand & type come to mind, if YOU were to do a large MF purchase? TIA

When I first started detailing, I'd use whatever I could get my hands on, usually the cheapest thing I could find. I would have all sorts of trouble with the tape not sticking when I made a pass with my PC, it was rather frustrating. I've scince switched to the 3M blue painters tape, and MAN, it...

I was wandering, if halogens, or something really bright would bring out defects better? Getting ready to order some FPII and try to get all the haze out :woot:

I had just finished up with OP and a propel blue finishing pad, afterward the finish looked great. I stuck my flashlight up to the surface and done an extremely close inspection, and I was extremely satisfied, as there was no hazing hardly whatsoever! Keep in mind, it's cloudy out, and I can't...

I just got finished with a detail on my Intrepid, everything looks great, very mirror like. I just hate how my car condensates over night, and when it come out the next day there are little teeny water specks all over the paint! Will a car cover help this matter? Or will it do this no matter...
