Yea, I am realizing that it's a process and sometimes you can't just say use product x/y/z and have it come out perfect the first time. I get the car outside in sunlight today and checked it out real quick. The stripes/trails are gone in the hood, roof, and trunk. There are still a couple...

Well, I started off with the orange pad. But as I said in my last post, I am now using the white. I actually believe that I may be not aggressive enough. I think that the striping I saw was still oxidation in the paint. I am thinking that a heaver compound would be better suited to this...

I worked on the car some more today after work. By the time I started, I only had ~1 hour of usable natural light before the sun was behind all the tall trees at our house (I live off the road quite a bit with tons of tall trees everywhere) I re-did the entire hood with tsr and a white flat...

Ok, I will work it in some more. Also, it seems like most people on here use "section pass". That was the way I was keeping track of it as I was polishing, I was only doing 4 section passes (sorry I know you said you don't like that term) because it looked to me like the product was...

A video that I recently watched on youtube suggested to use a bathroom scale to gauge how much pressure you are putting on the polisher. I used a 5lb weight to simulate the polisher and then I pressed down on it trying to simulate how hard I was pressing on the polisher. I appear to be using...

[/IMG] [/IMG] First two pictures show the "tiger striping". I could not capture all of it but that is some of it. The last one shows a spot of wg tsr 3.0 that I can't wipe off w/ a microfiber. Please disregard how terrible it looks directly around the taped off hood pin area. I'm going to...

Yes, Glaze first was to feed oils to the paint. My paint is NON metallic, I was just quoting Mikes article about tiger striping. I actually did get some pics of what I was talking about! I guess what the viewfinder on the camera shows and what they actually look like when you put them on...

Some of you may have read my other thread where I was asking some questions about an order I was about to place, thread is here --> http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/69377-placing-order-soon-have-some-last-minute-questions-about-using-megs-nxt2-0-wax.html Today I began...

It is a 1989 Ford Mustang so it is 24 years old. I don't know if its original paint or re-spray either. I have an entire bottle of nxt so I am going to try it first. If it doesn't look good, then I will definitely look into that blackfire. At that point, I could go pre-wax cleaner ----->...

AC in OC that Porsche looks awesome! I hope I can get mine to turn out that well. I will admit I haven't read the article in depth yet so you may have mentioned this, but how much 7 did you use? I have about a bottle and a half in my possession and I am unsure if that is enough.
