Sorry about that. I have a GG 6 inch DA, 1 yellow LC pad, orange LC pads, white LC pads, and 1 black LC pad, all 5.5 inches. When I used M105, I would occasionally mist the pad with Meg's Quick Detailer. This helped for a little bit, but then the dusting came back. Everything worked fine, I got...

Yeah I probably should have phrased that differently. I meant something that will quickly level out the swirls I have to about 95% correction, even if it leaves some haziness behind. That's what M105 did and after hitting it with 1-2 passes of M205, the haziness was gone. I'm just looking for...

So based on the pictures, you think SIP would get the job done without having to spend an eternity? I know the motto "use the least aggressive step that gets the job done" but I don't want to be disappointed if SIP isn't strong enough. I'm really torn between SIP and FG400, especially after you...

Those spots you see are not from M105, my car was just really, really dirty. Being away at college without my detailing supplies meant I couldn't wash it for over a month. When I noticed it was starting to dust, I reduced my working area to very small (1 sq-foot) and it still dusted. Even...

So I'm getting around to finishing polishing my car and I've decided to stop using M105. Every time I use it, it just creates so much dust and so many of those stupid infamous white specks everywhere. That said, I started looking into a replacement compound. I really like what I've heard about...

Hey I've seen this before! (Hint: My subreddit) :dblthumb2:

Actually, I forgot to do that the last time I washed. I'll do the flood method and then use the leaf blower and report back. Hopefully I get some better results. :xyxthumbs: The flood method is where you just use the hose with no attachment on it and let the water flood the surface of the car...

Ok thanks. I guess I was being a little too hopeful about the leaf blower. I still need to get some good quality drying towels: can anyone recommend some to me? Preferably ones that aren't really expensive? Do I need waffle weave or super plush ones?

It has an 7.5 amp motor and blows to 150 mph. I try to go over the car with the microfiber after, but the tiny droplets dry quickly, and leave water spots. I'm not sure what to do. :dunno: Well I didn't have any protection on it to begin with, before claying. You are right though, the water is...

Hey guys, so I recently went to Walmart and got this leaf blower to dry my car. My car is freshly clayed, so water should fly right off fairly easily. However, when I used it, it pushed the droplets away but left these little, tiny droplets instead. Is this normal? Also, my car isn't waxed or...

Thanks guys! Well I got the EZ detail mini brush because I've used the full size one before, and I found it to be too big for my taste. And since I don't believe they have a Daytona mini brush, I had to get the EZ detail one. I still love it though, and at only $15, if it makes it a year...

So this summer I worked at a foreign car dealership and they actually let me do things my way :D . I did minor paint correction to some, some scratch removal, and light polishing to others. I also did plenty of headlight restorations. Here's a 06 or 07 BMW 530i I polished out. It was sealed...
