Definitely makes sense. Never thought about that before. I'm using a closed cell pad, but I'm probably saturating it. I was paranoid about not having enough product so I can guarantee I used too much. I wish I knew someone in Savannah that could give me some pointers in person.

Lots of great ideas. Thank y'all so much. I'll try a flat pad and see if that's a difference. Could someone explain why pad saturation would be a bad thing?

Lawrence, I'll definitely be reading through those posts, thanks!

Thanks guys, unfortunately I have been sent out of town for work this week so I can't get any pictures. It is the pads doing the damage, not the towels. I had my DA set on 6 and would do five or six passes. Some areas it looked fine, other areas you could see the path of the pad in the paint. I...

I have a 2011 Subaru Forester with ridiculously soft paint. I am an admitted noob when it comes to auto detailing so this soft paint is currently killing me. I've kept good care of it, but eventually wanted to polish out the fine swirls that developed over the last few years. I tried using...

I'm new to detailing, so I've only recently learned about this. Maybe I'll get down there in the future!

Yeah I know I'm getting myself into a big job, but at this point I just want the practice and she really won't care if I miss a spot or try something new. Thank you all for your responses!

My mom owns a 2004 Ford Expedition she is thinking about selling. This thing has never seen more than a wash and dry by my dad (who dried it with bath towels *shudder*). It MIGHT get washed once a year. I asked her if she'd let me use this opportunity to practice since I'm relatively new to...

Yeah "it" belongs to me LOL so I'll be handling this myself, just unsure of the best approach. Is APC going to be my best bet? I'm hesitant to spray Simple Green on my seats. No real reason, it just doesn't strike me as something that'd be good for the fabric.

It's not a big deal, I just figured if anyone had an answer it'd be someone on this forum

Unfortunately in this case the artist is a child who was in my personal vehicle.

That won't discolor the fabric?

Does anyone have a technique for removing those pesky nostril nuggets from the underside of seats?

What ratio would you use for a maintenance wash vs wax/sealant strip?

I hadn't thought about the possibility of dropping it. That's a good point.
