How was that Subi paint, hard soft ? I just bought a 2015 STI and am getting ready to do my first polish on it. Just curious what to expect. Thanks....

haha I always judge how well a car is cleaned and taken care of by the barrels ! It really makes me cringe when I see a car all cleaned up and the barrels are black with grime and brake dust.

I agree :xyxthumbs: My go to is 106fa (Nano) with a white CCS pad. Nano has a little more cut but try the 85 first and go from there.

Are you sure about your car not having it. My wife's 09 G37x had it. It's a total bunch of non-sense anyway. There was nothing self healing about it that I saw. A PC and Menzerna Nano/LC white pad never did any harm on her car and took care of any swirls. I think her owners manual said to...

Great, thank you both ! I was thinking about using the power washer, now I will for sure. :props:

I need to clean some truck floor mats for a friend. It's a new truck but it's used to take care of some horses and the mats are dirty/muddy. No real ground in heavy stains but just messy overall. I don't have any special carpet cleaners or an extractor. Is there a basic way recommended to clean...

Great job ! Awesome car.. Looks like it's in great shape and the color is perfect for that car.

Outstanding answer Bobby.. Exactly why I love this forum, everyone is here to help. Nice C5Z by the way.. :xyxthumbs: I've been a Vette guy since I was 12.

There you go ! :xyxthumbs: I still have my PC7424 (good old regular model not XP) that I bought back in 08. I only do a few cars and bikes a year and it fits my needs perfectly. I'm sure the others may be better but for me it's a great little polisher. I have never had an issue with it and...

It really depends on a few things. What kind of condition is the paint in ? What exactly are you trying to accomplish ? What color are you working on ? Is it a ceramic clear coat like on a Vette which is really hard ? Please give more information about what you are trying to do. This is a good...

haha you should ride with me for a week. You would be amazed at how people act, lie, steal, cheat etc.... Great job on the fix. :xyxthumbs:

Here are a few more common ones: DA- Dual Action RO- Random Orbital PC- Porter Cable WOWO- Wipe On/Wipe Off LSP- Last Step Product IPA- Isopropyl Alcohol MF- Microfiber DD- Daily Driver OTC- Over The Counter There are also common abbreviations for specific products but usually you can...

Sorry about that Spiney. I should have spelled it out. I thought there was a thread somewhere with all the abbreviations, I'll try to find it. Thank you..:xyxthumbs:

haha just about every part of this one ! It took me two days to complete. I was really amazed when I put the halogens on it to see how bad it was swirled.

Thanks for the compliments..:xyxthumbs: Just to be clear posts #5 & #6 are of my car. Different Vette, different color. Just threw them in to show off.. :D Mine was cared for from day one however, I drove it in every kind of weather but snow. I put 36,000 miles on in 3 years..
