Well I have finally took the dive towards a rotary after using my DA for several years now. I am just getting ready to get the plate which I have decided on the 4 and 3/4" flexible backing plate so I can still use my DA's LC 6.5" pads. My question is that on the Autogeek website it...

I just got a foam gun and have searched for the answer to my question without luck. Do you add the ounce or two of soap to the container on the foam gun and then let the water from the hose go into it to mix.....or do you add the soap AND some water to the container like it says on the...

I have hard water spot on my glass from before I bought the car. They do not seem to come off with anything. I have tried 5.5" Orange LC pads with no luck but just recently purchased a spot buff kit. I guess I'm not going to know until I try, but should I try these pads to get rid of the...

It doesn't seem to matter what kind of car wash I use, no matter what, I can't get any suds on the cars while using a sheepskin mitt. I know that the suds don't really matter, that the soap is getting on the car either way, but it is hard to see whether or not I hit that part of the car...

I have been using a PC for several months now and am enjoying it a lot. Though, next summer I would like to invest in a rotary to help with time and also the imperfections that a PC can't correct. I have a couple question though first... Because of the high speed and heat of a rotary, is am...

I have XMT 360 which I have not touched yet. I have been using my PC with pretty good results except for that darn BMW paint. I guess what my question is is how do you know when to use an AIO like 360? If the paint is in overall good condition or what? I have been using OC and OP to...

My car has what looks like some white paint transfer on the front right black trim. I tried covering it up with Poorboys Trim Restorer with no luck. Then I tried Back to Black and didn't work. Finally I busted out a magic eraser and still no luck. Any ideas?

This was my fist time using a PC. I took a whack at my trunk on my BMW 328is. (Clayed first) I feel that about 99% of swirls were removed. but only about 75% of the scratches. If you could critique my process that would be great... First I applied about a nickel size drop of M80 on...

As you can see there are 2 small dents on both sides of the corner. I would like to go though a PDR guy, but because of the crease there is a little rust so I am not sure this is an option anymore. I have never had to use a body shop before, so I am not sure of the porcedure or what to look...

Going to be doing my first PC detail here in a couple days... I have read hundreds of posts but just now wondered, where do most of you start on the car? Is it like washing...from top to bottom? Or do you go around the car first?

How would I go about brightening up dull metal exterior trim? Would I have to use a metal polish, or would a paint polish also work? Either way, do best results come by hand, or is using a PC a possibility?

I think I remember reading on here about using Megs polish for the windows to remove water spots and tiny scratches but I can't find it anymore. I have handy both #83 and #80 if possible would like to use one of these to polish the windows instead on buying an additional product. Would #80...

I have been detailing by hand for a while and plan on getting a PC soon. I also intend on getting Lake Country pads for this. My question is for a car with light scratches and swirls I see on here people using anything from orange pads to white. Also, after using a pad of a certain...

I am done trying to detail my cars myself. I have read hundreds of posts, visited dozens of sites but still get minimal results. This could be becuase I do not have a PC, but mostly I believe it is because I actually need to SEE it done. I am not asking for someone to detail my cars, I am...

I am a complete newbie to this...I do not have a PC, but tried 1Z Paint polish, for I read and was told that it was good used my hand. I tried it on a 100% terry applicator pad and in addition to not removing the scratches and swirls, it left more. So then I tried it again on the...

The person who had this vehicle before me backed into something....being obsessive as I am, I would like to get it repaired, but have never had to go to a body shop before. Here are some pictures to give an idea. Can someone give me a rough guess as to how much this will cost at a shop to...

Hello, I have always had a passion for automobiles, and for the last couple years have been working for a very large auto dealership washing and cleaning the insides. I have that down to a science and would like to get into detailing using compounds and the such. I have been doing my...
