Ugh I missed it!

If you have access to a steamer I would recommend that is the most efficient way to clean off and kill mold. This is the cheapest one I could find. Vapamore MR-75 Amico Handheld Steam Cleaner

I look forward to this. I couldn't make it last year because it was absolutely impossible for me to get off work. This is happening this time around! Looking forward to meeting you all. My car will be in the show also. ^LOL

Looking forward to finding out when the next classes will be!

Pre-spray the cleaner before polishing. I don't put cleaner in the machine. Use only a small amount of product. I use Meguiars APC+. Has been working great for me. I use it for everything. Don't use too much water. It's not necessary to soak it. In fact you DO NOT want to soak it. Move it very...

I got the email for Detail Fest March 20th and assumed it was coming up in a couple months... by the time I got to the email it was over. :( Boooooooo....

OMG I can't believe I missed this. x_x

Just ordered mine! Already ordered a bunch of new pads.

I currently own a FLEX DA and use the CCS 6.5" Smart Pads and that's pretty much all I know. I also own one Meguiars pad which I also like. I do plan on buying a Rotary within the next couple of days too (prolly same time as pads. not sure which rotary yet tho...) I have nothing to compare it...

Ohh I've been waiting for this for a while.

Interested in knowing who did that to the car in the first place. Was it his attempt to detail it? or did it take it to a crap shop? I just love finding more places that hack away cars like that.

That's b/c they give you a nice matte finish and are water based. AA is silicon based and degrades the trim over time.

As the previous poster said. That'll work. You could also use any automotive All purpose cleaner like Meguiars APC+ and scrub it off w/ a toothbrush or detail brush.

I love Autogeek.net! :cheers:

Most Mercedes I've come across are hard. Ceramic clear coat is generally used on Mercedes. Both of my Honda's are soft. My g/f's Nissan Xterra is mildly soft. Maybe slightly medium. And as someone said before, Honda/Acura are the same so can be labeled accordingly.
