Thanks everyone for the help! I actually figured out another solution that also will protect it from any additional scratches. I found this rubber mat on Amazon.

Do you think Optimum Hyper Compound spray with a yellow 5.5" LC flat pad will work or will the M101 be better (I've been doing some research and it sounds like Optimum Hyper Compound spray is nice to work with :xyxthumbs:)?

I would like some direction before the sale runs out at noon today. I did a paint correction a few months ago using the following (have a GG 6" & 3"DAs). My car is a 2007 that had 8K miles when purchased and has been detailed, waxed, polished, etc. by hand 6-7 times a year prior to this. It is...

Can I do that, or will claying the car take all the duragloss products off as well?

Three weeks ago I completed my first correction detail with a DA polisher. I used the following: Megs NXT clay bar Megs 205 Megs 105 Duragloss 501/601 mix Duragloss 105/601 mix Duragloss 111/601 mix Collinite 845 Insulator wax It looks awesome, but after leaving my car at the dealership...

Thanks for the reply. I saw that thread, but it's not the one I was referring to. I swear I saw a thread where the poster was mixing all three at the same time so there was only a 1 time application and the benefit of all three products (105/501/601). I believe the ratio was 4/4/1, but I wanted...

I have been searching for hours and I can't find a thread I came across a few weeks ago. In the thread someone said they mix 501/105/601 together and apply 1 time, but I can't remember the ratios. Can anyone direct me to that thread or give me the info as I am going to attempt the first machine...

Thanks, Mike, a lot of really good info. FYI - I purchased "A complete guide to a show room shine", just haven't had tme to get all the way through it, so you giving me these specifics really helps out. A couple of questions for you: 1) Once you apply the coating, can you wax or put...

Thanks for the info, it is an interesting article. I haven't used mirror glaze # 7, but it sounds like that is used in cases of oxidation. This 4Runner shines as good as my Mustang does when I put the Mustang in a car show. Just over time the dirt builds up in the paint. It's almost like it...

Thanks for responding. I do want to mention that the dirt is not sticking to the car, it is actually inbedding itself in the clearcoat or paint. I am new to the site but I have been detailing my own cars for over 25 years, but have never run into this problem before. I have another vehicle...

Whenever I wax a car I always wash and clay it first, so I really need something more aggressive.

Long time lurker, 1st time poster. I have a white 1998 4Runner that I had professionally detailed a few years ago, but ever since then, no matter how often I wax it, the paint seems to "absorb" dirt. I know the detailer did not polish and wax by hand, but I am not sure what type of polisher...

Jmarra - did you ever get anything to work to take the "haze" out of the clearcoat on your rims?
