haha!! in my defense the two are used interchangeably down under. (convincing explanation?)

Thanks! Turns out you're correct. I don't know why she wouldn't have tried wiping it before calling me in a panic!

Update : it's condensation! Sorry to wasting ppls time. Admin please delete thread if necessary

Hi all, need your help as I might be in trouble with the missus! My gf recently bought a brand new Mazda cx3 around a month ago. I asked the dealer not to detail it. When we collected it, we drove it back to mine where I washed it using 2BM and then wiped it down with optimum paint prep then...

Its a black 2007 Holden astra hatch. Not sure if you have those on the US?

Hi there, yeah my preference would have been the orange cutting pad but I don't have any at my disposal. My current set up was originally intended for my own vehicle and I would have NEVER allow things to get to like her condition :D

Oh? I thought the blue hybrids are a light cutting pad, a step above the white polishing pads. These are the ones I've got: http://www.waxit.com.au/products/lake-country-hybrid-power-finish-6-5-blue-light-cutting-pad Thanks for the link, will definitely check it out.
