That looks very good, son!!! I like this one the best: By the way, how do you like M105/orange pad on glass? I have been contemplating to use this setup to clean up some glass, but I am afraid of marring.

Many users, including myself, have issues using the smaller orange pad with the rotary. The pad simply jumps and skips all over the place no matter how you work the pad. If you want to use an orange pad with the rotary, try the larger curved ones designed for rotary.

In the past, I have used M105 to remove extreme overspray from autoglass. The result worked fine with a very soft brillo polishing pad produced. Just out of curiosity, will SwirlX yield similar results in removing some light water spots or etching? I know, I know. I could try a test spot for...

VERY Interesting!!! For the first time in my life, today I saw something like this on my car. It had a hexagon shape to it!!! Never knew bees excrete hexagonally...

I use leatherique on my dash. I tried 10 different products for my dash, they are all oily and slippery for my taste.

I was told by memebers of this forum that the Wolfgang Twins are essentially Menzerna's SIP and Nano Polish. The Wolfgang counterparts may be cheaper when the Wolfgang products are on sale. In my opinion, if you are not dealing with heavy swirl marks, the Wolfgang Twins are all you need. You...

I have both the foam gun and the foam cannon. Both are extremely great tools for swirl prevention/reduction. With the right soap, such as some of the citrus washes that are on the market, the foam cannon coupled with a pressure washer can wash a car very clean evenly without having to...

I am really addicted. I spent $3,000 last year alone on detailing products (pads, polishes, waxes, soap, upgraded DA/rotary). Last year I spent literally 6 hours a day, 6 days a week during spring, summer, and fall detailing my fleet of cars. Due to the growth of my businesses I haven't picked...

You can put your entire body weight on your DA with an Orange Pad with M105 all day and still not remove those defects. There are scratches that are simply too deep to be removed by DA with an cutting orange pad. In cases like this where you are dealing with deep scratches, you want a pad that...

neutralize the bird dropping with car soap before blasting it off. You can dilute the car soap first or pour the car soap at full strength straight on the bird dropping. Whatever is more convenient. Hot soapy water works best from my experience. Blasting away the bird dropping with high...

I have a SOMEWHAT similar car in metallic and silverish color. NO wax was able to get any pop on t his color whatsoever. Even with some of the smoothest possible prep ever, ie. Rotary jewelling from M205 --> PO85RD, I was unable to get an amazing pop from the metallic silverish color. Then I...

Looks like you are doing a very good job with the paint, as demonstrated by the before/after pictures. That product build up is very normal. Just clean the pad on the fly with a clean cloth by gently pressing a cloth against the pad while the machine is spinning, with enough pressure not to...

I wouldn't say that any machine polishing is going to remove any orange peel. However, after five years of gentle machine buffing and swirl removing techniques, I see a noticeable reduction in orange peel on some areas of my paint. This should not be a shock to anyone. As you remove clear...

Most of you guys are right. The excess LSP IS the primary reason for the appearances of marring on the LSP. The more or thicker the coats I apply, the easier it is to marr the LSP. These are not holograms, but actual marring on the LSP. They are hard to see under normal lighting, and only appear...

When I say marring on the sealant, I really mean marring on the sealant. Not smearing. =) As I have stated, an IPA wipe down would remove the marring while removing some sealant along with it. There is no hazy film or other kind of film. The LSP has been left to cure, and residue completely...
