    Floor mat cleaner

    In my opinion, you can't go wrong with 303 Fabric Cleaner. Follow the directions on the bottle to mix, then agitate your floor mats with a brush or a PC upholstery cleaner if you have one, and then shop vac them clean. http://www.autogeek.net/303552.html

    Where did I go wrong?

    Thanks Killer, I was worried that you couldn't go straight from yellow to white pads with out an intermediate step. Today, was just a volunteer job. I figured it he wants to let me practice on his black BMW -great. Even with the swirls, just a good wash and some ex-p made it look about 100...

    Where did I go wrong?

    One of the guys I work with asked me to detail his black BMW today. The car was in pretty rough shape -years of gas station car washes and has almost never been waxed. I got the PC and planned to start with an orange pad and PB 2.5 and go from there. After tearing my house apart I could not...

    Help my choose a pad/polish kit

    I used a quarter sized dab like in the videos. A lot being a relative term. This was my first polish job so I don't have any reference to what other products might do.

    Help my choose a pad/polish kit

    FloridaNative, it doesn't really show in the pics I posted. But in full sunlight the car has lots of tiny pin hole sized metalic looking speckles. The XMT threw off a lot of dust. I wiped down with a QD but didn't wash. Could this be the cause. They were not there before. Also seems to have...

    Help my choose a pad/polish kit

    Sorry for the lack of clarity. My neighbor came out after I had finished with the XMT3 and XMT1. But before I had applied the glaze or wax. Honestly, just the polishing with the PC made my car look better than it used to with a fresh wash and wax.

    Floor Mats

    Any tips on how to clean the floor matts in these pics. I am worried about the drivers side one. The Mustang emblem has taken a beating and I can't seem to get it too look like the passenger side. http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l190/brooksdjohnson/Floor%20Mats/ It is more noticable in...

    Starting the project tonight -advice please.

    Does anyone think that switching to a yellow pad and more aggresive compound would matter. Or is the probably about as good as it is going to get?

    Help my choose a pad/polish kit

    You won't be disapointed by the XMT Kit, Aceshight. I got mine Friday. I did my car with XMT3, XMT1, XMT Glaze and topped with Natty's. I couldn't believe how it turned my car around. My neighbor came out and looked at my car when I was done polishing and couln't believe there was not a drop of...

    My first PC detail. Before and After, 56K no

    As long as we are on the topic. Anyone ever seen a mustang with the plastic in the hood scoop replaced with billet? Been thinking about doing that but I can never find decent pics of anyones car, to give me an idea of what it will look like.

    My first PC detail. Before and After, 56K no

    Been, meaning to get a the Grill delete. But you know how it is with Mustangs -always another aftermarket part to buy. I think it needs new wheels more than anything else -so that is next.

    My first PC detail. Before and After, 56K no

    I want to thank everyone at AG and AGO that made this possible. A month ago I didn't no crap about detailing and I think I got pretty good results for my first run. You guys rock!! The products used were XMT3, XMT1, XMT Glaze, Poor Boys Natty's Blue, Wizards Spray and Shine, and Megs Gold for...

    Starting the project tonight -advice please.

    Watched the videos, so I don't think it is me. And Killer you are right the paint still looks fantastic compared to before. Maybe the glaze and the Natty,s will hide them a bit. Pics later today,

    Starting the project tonight -advice please.

    Thanks Florida, I marked those areas off with tape. Another question. I have washed the car, dryed it, taped it. I started with XMT 3 on an orange pad doing a small section of the hood. The swirls are gone but now I see that I have a lot of etching and piting in my paint. I have worked the same...
