I am not sure how this happened but on my hood of my 2018 a4 there are a number of spots. I decontaminated and used the clay bar but these spots did not come off. I am not sure what this is and how to remove. I am open to any ideas. Thanks.

I am confused now. Should I be using the FG400 for the compound on orange pad and Menzerna SI 1500(now medium cut polish 2400) on a white pad? Or a different combination? Thanks, Jim

I have a 2017 Honda Pilot and 2014 Acura MDX. Both are known to have soft paint. I am going to wash, clay, compound, polish, seal and wax this weekend. in the past I used Menzerna SI 1500(now medium cut polish 2400) on orange pad and SF 4000(now super finish 3500) on white pad. After reading...

Annually, I wax our two cars. My process is as follows Wash Clay Menzerna sip Menzerna finish polish water/alcohol solution Pinnacle souveran wax All of this with my flex 3401. This works great but I have three products that I am not sure when to use. Since I only do the full job once per...

One final question for you. Next time I am going to wax, I will use the pinnacle paintwork cleansing lotion, then 2 coats of wdgps and then souveran wax. What about the next time I am going to wax in 4 to 6 weeks. do i go through the same process again or do I just wax or what? Jim

I went ahead and ordered WDGPS and will apply that next time. Answer this. After 4 to 6 weeks, is the wax all off or do I need to do something to take the residual off? I did get a spray wax so will use that inbetween waxes. So would I next time use the WDGPS or wait until after I polish...

I did my first detail today on my 09 Acura TL. Thanks to everyone here I got great products and great advice. I washed, clayed(clay magic blue), sip and nano on white with flex 3401 and then 1 coat of souveran wax. My black car looks great. I do have a couple of questions. 1. How...

Do you suggest putting your polish, wax and other items in containers also or leaving them on the stroage shelves? I live in Michigan, what about them being in the garage during the winter. The garage can get quite cold during the winter.

I have two questions. 1. I have some very nice, brand new weathertech floor liners. I was wondering what your suggestion was to clean and protect these? 2. I need something to store all my mf towels, pads, mits, and other items like this. I looked at target and there was nothing that was...

Based on what I am reading the grill on the front of my Acura is not metal, maybe chrome, maybe something else. I bought never dull but since the grill is not a metal this will ruin it. Any thoughts on what would be a good product to clean and polish the grill? I assume that my rims are...

So I am doing a 2 step polish with menzerna and then wax. Do I do this after each step? I assume I spray the panel down with the solution and then do I wipe it off with a mf or do i spray it off or what? Thanks

I am a noob here and keep reading about others using a 50/50 alcohol solution during the polishing process. Could you explain what that is and what is the other 50? I am going to be doing my first detail next week and figured I should know.. Jim

Could you explain what you mean by rebuff? Still learning how to do all this. Thanks Jim

I have a new 09 acura tl and am looking for a matte leather cleanrer and conditioner. I bought the pinnacle branch cleaner and conditioner but it is shiny and slippery, which I dont want. What is the best matte leather product. Thanks Jim
