The car is dark grey. Yeah, I'm sure they are water spots but I don't blame you for asking since this baffles me, too. I'm going to try to wash them off this weekend. I really hate the idea of doing a strong wash and starting the whole process over again. In fact, if I do that much work and...

I put two coats of Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection sealant and one coat of Collinite 845 on my Jetta a couple of weeks ago. Today, I came out after work and the car was covered with water spots. Apparently they must have turned on the sprinklers for a few seconds because they were small...

Not only used, but used aggressively! He did say they were melted...Im the MAN

I don't disagree with any of the other recommendations, but here's another one for you: Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection (UPP). I bought this after seeing it recommended by some folks here on the forum and I had great luck with it - it was very easy to use and it left a beautiful finish...

The piece looks just like oxidized black paint so I couldn't resist running my DA polisher with an orange pad and Megs 205 across it just once. It turned the pad black and really made the trim look nice after only one pass. Could I damage that trim by doing that?

I searched the forums and have watched lots of videos, but I've never seen any tips for the trim pieces between side windows like the ones in the picture. What do you do in these areas? Polish them like paint? Feed back please

I used a cotton rag which I'm thinking was the problem. I've used the same rags to polish chrome with other products before but it was always chromed metal. I actually don't like chrome much and this is the first vehicle I've owned that has chrome trim. I guess I've learned a lesson...

Based on the comments, I'm assuming the chrome plating on plastic is softer or at least more susceptible to scratches than chromed metal. What product is recommended for chromed plastic?

I ordered some of this wax with high expectations since I've had great luck with Collinite 845. I was surprised when it left swirls and scratches in my chrome (see photo). The picture isn't great but you can see the swirls/haze just to the left of the reflection of the garage door. It did a...

Thanks for the replies!

So I should do both, or can I get rid of any dust with the QD only?

I took the plunge into "real detailing" and started on my Toyota Tundra. It's a large vehicle and I'm a newbie so I knew it would take some time. I worked almost all day Saturday and Sunday but didn't get done. I could write a lot about the lessons I learned, but here's what I did: First I...

Have you done any corrections to your paint? I have a couple of bird etchings I'd like to eliminate.
