We will be talking to the insurance company after we pick the car up and possibly the owner of the shop...last thing we need is them any more upset than they are and doing something to the car. This will be the last time any of our family will be taking our cars to them. They've lost quite a bit...

Thanks for the help! So I've had a few small issues I've found from the work previously at the body shop. One of the issues is currently at the shop being fixed again because the part they resprayed didn't match at all. Today I just dropped off the car about the other small problem and decided...

So I had a bumper resprayed a few months ago and haven't really looked at the paint thoroughly up until a few weeks ago and noticed there's a handful of fisheyes on the rear bumper. They're hardly noticeable except in the right light, but the thing that worries me is whether or not they will be...

I just did the car yesterday with Meg's Cleaner wax on an orange pad followed by NXT 2.0 on the crimson pad and it looks miles better than before. It shines, but there's still quite a few scratches. To be honest I don't plan on removing them. The paint seems fairly thin and in a few high spots...

The paint isn't in great shape but it's not beyond fixable...I just don't want to spend a ton of time working with it to get it perfect because the car is a daily driver/beater. I'm fine with some swirls and marring but would like it to at least shine. Just want to get it back to what is a...

So a one step is a cleaner wax? I have NXT 2.0 and so far have been very happy with the durability of it and how long it has lasted me on the new car. So right now I'm thinking a cleaner wax on an orange pad followed by NXT 2.0 on a crimson pad. Thanks everyone!

Sorry I'm a little new but what do you mean by a one step? As in a polish? The car has a fair amount of oxidation and the surface is fairly faded and rough. The products I have so far are: Meguiars 105, 205, 7, 9, 26, and NXT 2.0 Thanks for the help.

So I've got an older car that is my daily driver and don't really baby it like my new car but want to clean it up a little in not much time. I've thought about detailing it but the car needs A LOT of work and to be honest I don't think it's worth putting much effort into trying to get the paint...

I'll get pics probably tomorrow...the gardeners made a mess of my mom's car so it needs to be cleaned again. Truth be told when buying the PC kit I wasn't sure exactly what pads I wanted but that I wanted flat pads over the CCS. Wasn't too sure about the little pocket idea in the pads. I'm not...

The car is a 2003 Acura TL Type S, not sure how that ranks for paint hardness. As for my section sizes, I was doing too large of sections...next time around I'll shrink them down. I think I was spot on with the amount of pressure and armspeed used and keeping the pad rotating. I've watched the...

Hello everyone! So I'm new here and just got myself a new PC7424XP kit from autogeek and so far am loving it. My first project was yesterday on my mom's car and so far the results look great. But they're not perfect. The car has been neglected for years and she never took care of it. So...
