Jim, Car looks excellent! I'm currently in the same boat, and need to wait until Friday for the LSP. I've had this happen before, and didn't run into any problems. I used a soap without any gloss enhancers/wax/ceramic etc. and did a quick panel wipe with Gyeon prep. I spot checked a couple...

Thanks all! I did a few more tests, and also bought some new goodies, including the Hercules forced rotation DA. I put a new backing plate on the PC, broke out the Sonax and a green pad, and tested on my wife’s VW Atlas. All the same equipment and prep as with my car. Experience was pretty...

I started with 4 blueberry size dots, but also tried 3 and 5. That's what I've used with other polishes in the past. Something else i'm wondering about, maybe there was still some Beadmaker on the paint and the Megs was able to cut through it, and the Sonax wasn't. I went to do more testing...

I started with 4 quick passes, then tried 4 longer passes, then 2 quick, 2 long, and then 6 quick. Essentially the same results each time. I saw very little cut as well, so it certainly seems like this isn't the combo for me with this car. Did you find a solution you were happy with on the 4...

I finally tried the EX 04-06 for the first time and had very mediocre results. A lot of elements here so I'll try to keep it short. It's a daily driven BMW 5-serires. I wanted to try something new going into this winter, so i went with the Sonax EX 04-06 and Chemical Guys Hex-Logic green pads...

I've always gone with a more aggressive compound/polish first

For a once/twice yearly cleanup, i like the Blackfire One Step with an orange Lake Country pad. Top that with Collinite 476. Overall looks great, straightforward process you don't need to overthink, and good protection. Maybe once a month i'll throw on some P&S Beadmaker. I've been doing this...

Quick update...i rinsed again with plain water from the hose, no pressure washer this time. Let sun dry again, and they seem slightly better so i'm hoping it's just residual product. I bought some Chemical Guys Fabric Clean to wash them again and see if that helps. I'll also try the rinse...

Hi all, I washed my BMW mats with some Folex Spot Remover and they lost a lot of their softness. I spot cleaned the stains, then scrubbed the whole mat with less product. Rinsed thoroughly with a pressure washer and let sun dry. They were nice and clean, but fairly stiff. I rinsed again a...

^^^^ Thanks!

I know what you mean. The soft paint is another big concern. I have plenty of moderate compounds and polishes but they will be too much at this stage. Without having to buy a bunch of new stuff and see what works best, i'm hoping there is a method of determining the level of correction needed...

I may actually have that... Is there any photo guide showing "these swirl marks are equivalent to 1,500 grit sandpaper" and "these are equivalent to 3,000" etc.

I'm familiar with the method of using the least aggressive product first. My problem is deciding what to purchase! I have my first ever brand new car, a 2017 Subaru WRX. The paint is in great shape as I've taken care of it since picking it up in July. Many polishes or compounds say "will...

I had the same issue and found a good solution if you have a foam gun. I have a hose style foam gun, not a pressure washer version. Normal wash, but do not dry. Foam the whole car and go around with the Nanoskin. The soap/water combo was much more effective than spot lubricating as you go...
