Hello. Looking for some advice on water spots on a black car. I noticed after washing my car for the first time after the winter that there were noticeable water spots on my trunk. I'm not sure if I took too long to wash or dry, but they are there. Will a waterless wash or detail spray remove...

Thanks all for the replies. I'm not set on 205, I didn't realize it was an older formulation. So maybe I'll try the green pad, and if it needs more try the white? I'll avoid the orange. I'm leaning towards either Koch Chemie M3.02 or Jescar Micro. I will also check out the other polishes you...

Question. How many pads do I need to do a sedan, and how often should I be cleaning them with a brush, every 2x2 section? Also for the spot test, I don't want to buy multiple pads in different colors if I'm not going to use them. Do you think it would be fine to buy 1 of each, prep a section of...

Thanks for all the input so far. Will the white pad be acceptable to end on? Like would I be able to achieve a mirror finish? Also for a 5 inch backing I would go with a 5.5 inch pad correct?

Hello. Beginner polisher here. I'm wondering which color Lake Country pad I can combo with Meguiars 205 polish to fix the marring/light swirls shown in the picture. Black Kia. Car is only 8 months old. I was thinking a white pad, but is it fine to finish with a white pad, or should I be trying a...

What do you coat your tires with?

Hello. I was just trying to figure out how I would go about cleaning my tires (not rims), in the winter without a hose. They look filthy, I want to clean them. I'm wondering what steps people take in clean their tires in the winter time. Also, is there dressings out there that are safe to use...

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I'm going to take a look at the Blackfire One Step. I do plan on purchasing a DA Orbital polisher soon (I'm leaning towards a Porter Cable). For a beginner, is this better than HD Speed or HD Polish? Those were the 2 products I was leaning towards before...

Hello. I just purchased some matte black rims for my winter tires. I was looking for a product that I could use on them. Obviously I don't want to add any shine, just to clean them in the winter (without using a hose). I've seen the Matte Detailer Spray by Chemical Guys, any thoughts on that...

Hello. Very first post on here. Been reading a lot. I purchased a black car about 3 months ago, a Kia Forte. I'm looking for some suggestions on how to make the car easier to maintain, as I'm just learning how easily the car gets dirty. I haven't put down any type of protection yet. Should I put...
