Since we're talking about foam guns (or at least we were), what soaps do you use? I've just finished my old jug of Rain-x high foaming soap, and I'm looking to get something different; something with more staying power on my car. Cheers

Lol! Thanks for the input. I guess a rain jacket, umbrella, and some waffle drying towels are in going into my portable kit. My tent is no where big enough for a car (j/k I know what you meant).

I'm heading to a show and its likely going to rain. I usually bring some MF towels, and my handy bottle of QD, and a bottle of 303 for the interior. Is there any specific that you'd bring along to make sure your car shows its best, even in the rain? Thanks

+1 for the Bose Sounddock. I have the non-portable version and it sounds fantastic. The two versions (plug vs battery) both sounded good when I was testing them out.

Batten down the hatches! Take care in FL From your neighbors up north in Canada.

I'd like to thank everyone for their input. As recommended, I went over the hood again with IP + orange pad again this morning. I took extra care to move slower this time, and to do smaller sections (I was aiming for 12"x12" where possible). And in the early morning light, I began to see the...

I'm going to try the polishing again when I get back from my business trip. I'll report back when I get everything done. Thanks for all the advice.

Thanks for the info. I didn't notice any marring from the polish. But then again, its a silver car. The defects are not very visible, and are virtually invisible in the day. I know I'm being an*l about it. Based on the replies, here's what I think I'm going to do: - Somehow remove the...

I was using Menzerna IP with a LC orange pad on my UDM to remove some swirls on the hood of my 01 330i. Unfortunately, the car is titanium silver and I couldn't see the progress very well in the light. Well, at night, I noticed that the swirls weren't completely removed. I'm not terribly...

That's what I thought. Thanks for the info!

I need to clean my doors and the door jamb. I've done searches to figure out the general steps, but I have a very specific question. There are usually parts that are greased or lubricated so that they move smoothly. From what I've seen the grease sometimes appears like a paste or vaseline, or...

I love Autogeek.net & Meghan too!

I've had my UDM for close to year now, and only used it twice; the second time two nights ago. So far, nothing has gone wrong with it. In fact, I'm happy that it (along with the polishes I used) managed to get rid of a scratch on the top surface of my trunk. I hope I don't experience the...

That's amazing. Can you describe in detail what you did? Thanks
