Sure, I just got a response. As long as the person I interviewed is OK with that..

Hello all, I am doing a project for my graduate class. It is an entrepraneurship class, and I have a list of about 25 questions I need to ask a business owner. I am looking for someone that specializes in high class vehicles..bmw, audi, benz, maybe exotics. No questions are personal or really...

Hello fellow detailers! I have a 2011 Scion TC, silver in color. Heres my problem.. I wash washing the car the other day, and I noticed specs, spots, etc..all over the hood, fenders, doors, quarter panels..etc. I looked at it a bit more, and it appears to be tar. The best way I can explain...

Thanks for the feedback, all. I did the following: Waterless wash Clay 6 passes of M105 + surbuf x 2 1 pass of 205 on white pad It looks much better, still not perfect. I think another pass with 205 will do it. I dropped my white pad on the ground. So no polishing until I get a new one :(

Thanks for the advice- ill try that. Another thing i noticed..with the m105 sometimes i notice like "blotches" of the compound. when i first saw it, I thought i burned through my clear..any ideas?

Washed it with Chemical Guys Citrus and clayed with adams clay.

Let me ask this. Is it possible that there is so much wax on the car (from me waxing it throughout the years) that the compound isnt getting through? Just a thought

Should I layer the product- I've seen some videos where you put on the swirl remover, and then layer the polish over it, and remove them both at the same time.

And its a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT, Red

6 on the PC. Sorry, when I say passes I mean 1 application. In terms of actual passes, I'd maybe do 3 passes, overlapping... I primed the pad by putting 3 small pea sized dots of the polish at 12 oclock, 4 oclock, and 8 oclock like i saw in a video.

I just tried the following on my hood: Wash with Chemical Guys Citrus wash Clay with Adams Clay / Spray Detail Dry off residue with microfiber towel 1 pass M105 + Surbuf (Porter Cable) 1 pass M2015 + White adams polishing pad (Porter Cable) Buff off with adams doublesoft towel There are still...

Hi all, Yes I did clay. As far as the finishing pads- I do have a white adams pad that I can use with the 205. Will post the results. I also bought some 4'' pads/backing plate..surbuf/lc to get along my spoiler and in smaller spots.

Hi All, I have been trying to get the swirls out of my car for quite some time. I think my main problem, is that I have so much gosh darn wax on the car, that whenever I use a polish or swirl remover (i usually use adams) the swirls go away to some extent but come back. Heres what I did...
