Hi All, Solid black car ( very soft paint ). As you imagine a nightmare to maintain and it’s also a daily. I have light swirls that appear, even with safe wash practice. I use poor boys black hole which I think is amazing, the amount it covers up is ridiculously good. I have corrected the...

Also worth noting I am using auto finesse avalanche, brilliant stuff generally

Hi all, not sure what is going wrong here, was ok the first time I snow foamed. unfortunately, today when I snow foamed the car and left it sit I noticed quite bad drying marks + spots. left the foam to do its thing for 5 mins as usual. Any ideas? I guess the only difference snow foaming...

Yes going with white rupes pad and the white ultra gel polish... agreed, if you were to generalise it.. generally metallic finishes are hard and the solid soft.( well from what I have worked with ) the solid black audi paint on this particular car is painfully soft. I am actually considering...

Hi All, Having a few problems with this one on a soft paint. No problem on any other car I’m detailing. The audi is a solid black finish and the paint is butter like soft. I am noticing small buffer trails/marks. I am using the rupes system, Mk2 15mm with either menzerna or rupes gel. I am...

Hi all, any ideas? See attached images. I bought this today and it's specifically fits karchar with the attachments. am I being a bit silly here? Or do I need to go back and get a different attachment ? thanks justin

What do you generally use? They are good because any dirt goes deep in. They knot up though, need to brush mine before I wash it. I think any swirling is coming from the washing , rather than drying.

Only ever have beads as the coat leaves little water behind , really good at repelling

Sorry ... attention to detail... I use a towel , plush big blue... only dab the paint to dry, never swipe.

Use to have a white car and never really noticed anything ... maybe I wasn't looking properly ! agree, think in future silver or dark grey are the ones to go for. Was detailing a jag XF today in racing green and was lovely, ok it was swirled and did show but so easy to remove.

Hi All, just St looking to discuss possible options. have a black Audi, solid ( very very soft paint ) - literally scratches and swirls when you blow on it, not that I blow on my car as that would be a bit odd ☺️ Actually told my friend off the other week for touching my door and b pillar, I...

My Audi is solid black and does have very soft paint so always look for very fine finishing polishes

Sorry . Originally used green pad with medium cut green compound. Then finished with white pads and white finishing gel. Wasn't coming out with rupes but when I switched to my smaller padded Torq it came out. Usual speed , bit more pressure down when compounding but little when using the...

Hi all, just got my new Rupes mk2 ( 15mm ) seem to to be having big issues with buffer trail. Even on a flatish surface. any advice? On a totally flat surface the results are insanely good. Jaw dropping in fact. i ended up using my Torq 10fx with a 4 pad and it more or less sorted the...
