hello all, i finally got to use my cquartz today. i washed the car and i used wolfgang total swirl remover and then the eraser and then the cquartz on the hood as a trial. should i have done something in between the total swirl remover and the eraser step?? here are my results:

thank you very much for the quick replies....it just so happened that my order of dg501 just arrived yesterday. i had very good result with dg aquawax and decided to try dg 501, maybe a dg polish and top it with collinite 845. hoping this works out....will post pics when done. again...thank you

i have to detail a white avalon and the owner tells me that she left the car outside for a week in the rain and when she came back there were leaf outlines on the paint. i have not seen the car yet, it will be dropped off tomorrow. any suggestions??

thanks everyone . all in all about 3 hours give or take. 45 minutes for the PPE, 45 for the sealant and 45 for the liquid wax (pinnacle). i use the edge pads so it cuts down on time since it is double sided.

hello everyone. as the title says, this is my second detail, this time using wolfgang products. this is my dd. that would explain all the dings and rash. using wolfgang products gave me almost the same shine but it was much easier to apply and, morre importantly, to buff off. had to live with...

yes i am doing one panel at a time, but like the previous post said...i might be applying too much. the step 2 and 3 are great though. excellent shine and reflections.

thank you, bunky, for the reply. its actually step 1 (the pre wax cleaner) that leaves a white residue what becomes powdery that i have a hard time removing. step 2 and 3 does not give me the same problems. same thing (use less of the producys) applies??? edlin

very nice shine....thank you for the write up and also very informative for me and my legacy wagon

thank you for the reply...i have not noticed any clear coat failure anywhere yet (fingers crossed). i did a wash and clayed it yesterday. btw this is my daily drive too, 120k+ miles on it, non turbo. i will wait for the other stuff that i ordered before doing swirl removal. i looked up your...

thank you...it also helps that it is relatively new (a little over 2 years old). it must be more of that than my "trial" (the wife did not appreciate the experiment, so will use a different word) detail.

hello everyone....i am using the mothers ultimate wax system and although i have good results (shine-wise), i do find that the white residue left after allowing it to dry to a haze and buffing it with a mf towel is very difficult to get off the car. i posted the results of my first detail on the...

thanks legacygt...i do have a question though...i also have a legacy (05 legacy wagon) and i am worried about detailing the curved surfaces. any suggestions???

someone from legacy gt forum actually got me interested in detailing...ocdetails is his username in that forum. i used a pc polisher and edge 2k pads, and mothers 3 step system and topped it with meguiars ultimate wax. i just ordered some wg sealant and pinnacle wax to see if there is a...

hello everyone...this is my wife's 2008 chrysler town and country and of course i had to detail it first (experiment) before i did my car. in my opinion it turned out ok...thanks very much for the info here available to newbies like me. :dblthumb2:
