Thank you. I plan to use the 205 after the 105. I'll get before and after photos.

Now I have another question, I am picking up my mom's black 2010 Rav4 to detail and sell next weekend. She has MANY scratches in the paint, some very deep, others relatively superficial. I know the deep ones won't come out, but do you think that Meguires 105 on orange Lake Country pads should...

Well, last weekend I FINALLY got the Ridgeline done. I took the advice given here and washed, clayed, polished with Meguiars 205 using my PC7424XP and a white pad, then followed up with the only wax I had on hand - Turtle Wax Ice Paste. (I have since received my Collinite for future use.) It...

Thank you again, to each of you for your replies. I made two orders so far based upon advice here and in my other thread about cleaning my cargo trailer. The first arrives tomorrow, and the second on Saturday. I already have smaller pads for my PC which I'll use on my motorcycles. I know I...

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. A degreaser did not make sense to me because there is nothing oily or greasy on the trailer. But, since I am a neophyte, I did not question the advice. I think I'll add some TSP to carwash to wash it. That ought to give me a pretty clean surface with...

Thank you. Just ordered pads and towels. Perhaps I can add the 205 before the order is prepared.

I own a white Haulmark Passport Cargo trailer similar to (but larger than) this: It is 2 - 3 years old and has never been washed or waxed. It has grayish streaks from the roof down, and the finish is starting to look a little chalky. Is there something I should use to wash it with before...

I don't think I have any AIO at this time. I do think that I have a bottle of paint cleaner somewhere, either Mothers or McGuire's. In May, or if we get a warm weekend before then, I'll try my hand in doing it right as is recommended in the many threads I have read. In the meantime, I'll...

Yes, I have a 5" backing plate. Thank you for the suggestions.

59 views so far and no replies. I have continued to read various posts, and have not found my answers concerning which pads to apply wax, and which to remove. I realize that it's more likely personal preference than an absolute, but would still appreciate your input. It looks as if the...

Hello. I'm Pete, and I appreciate the wealth of knowledge you provide here. I am a bit overwhelmed by it all! I have searched the forum for a good 30 minutes and, while I have found a lot of great information, I still have two very basic questions. I purchased a Porter Cable 7424, but I am...
