Aside from the clay (I was thinking Mother's California Gold Clay Bar System + perhaps a more aggressive clay for stubborn spots like the one proposed from Ebg18t), is there any other chemical spray I can try too?

Thanks guys. Since the car will be used this week, I'm guessing I have to repeat all the steps sans Iron X and use clay instead of the nanoskin. Is there any specific kind of clay / lubricant that I should use?

I'm mad beyond words. On Saturday, I decided to machine-detail my two-month old BMW 3 with a Sparkling Brown metallic and to my horror, after washing it, I discovered that the entire top half of the car from the door handles and above was sprinkled in hardened white paint speckles – you can't...

I do have microfiber towels, but not enough for all those steps, so I followed your advice...did not know about MFT...:xyxthumbs:! Unfortunately, no one nearby has a garage. Actually, I had looked for a canopy, but I'd need one at least 5m / 16ft long, not very practical and quite expensive -...

Thank you for the detailed response cardaddy! Actually, I already purchased and used the nanoskin mitt on a relative's uncared for 15 y.o. Jetta on which I did a Meguiar's Ultimate compound and Ultimate wax with the GG3 (it needed a polish step, but I'll do it all over again later on). For...

First time poster. I've done plenty of research on the site, but I'm still not sure which polishing products to get for my new BMW 3 with a Sparkling Brown metallic (it has flakes inside), so I wanted to ask if any of you have any experience with this color. The car is only two months old, and...
