The X is just what I had been doing, thanks for the advice Midnight! I'm already finished but I will make sure to do it that way next time :)

I haven't even gotten to the 205 yet haha

Well, only a very little bit comes off even after wiping it with a considerable amount of pressure. To get the rest off, I end up having to use a QD.

Well just put everything in my new order to use today. I really like Diablo Wheel Gel but it didn't through the real tough brake build up. Black Onyx is awesome, love the smell! haha. 1Z Cockpit is amazing, brought my 12 year old interior back to life. Megs APC+ took care of everything that...

Marc, For my first detail, I'll be working on my own. I'd rather go through the learning process on my own car haha. Though, I'm pretty confident everything will go fine having watched every video on youtube about how to polish and knowing how safe DA polishers are. :P -Alex

Sounds like i did pretty well, thats good to hear lol. I guess that research paid off. As for the tire dressing, I chose Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel. From the reviews I read it didn't sling as much as some of the others and sounded like it had a good finish. On a side note, Weavers, I was...

The only things I think I forgot were 303 Aero and ONR. There's still probably more but right now, I'm a little low on spending money haha. Anyways, just thought I'd share. Feels great to finally be a part of the world of detailing :) As soon as the weather starts to cooperate I'll start...

I actually did get it done the next day, but i had a little trouble finding the time to get all the pictures and post them up haha. But here are the results, check it out! :xyxthumbs: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/34888-trim-restoration-partially.html#post453482

Ok just to give you a little background on this, here's the last where I got some suggestions on how to fix it. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/34713-trim-paint-failure-suggestions.html There are a couple before pics in there too. As for my process, i followed BobbyG's...

Oh believe me, I'm gonna do exactly as you said! Again, i really appreciate your feedback :) I'll probably get back to y'all tomorrow with the results.

Haha hey well guess what, I'm doing this on a 99 Intrepid! Not sure now if all trim does this or if Dodge is to blame. I'll consider the semi-gloss too then, i might not even have to worry about UTTG that way! Thanks for your input

:thankyousign: Wow great advice there, thanks! Do you think I'd be able to use something such as UTTG on it afterwards?

Just shot these pics real quick with my phone, not sure how to go about fixing this. What kinda paint would i use, plain old Krylon from walmart? My dad said sand it all the rest of the way off and leave it chrome haha, not for me. A little closer up:

Oh and 6.5" pads with the 6" GG DA, right?

So, GG DA. Orange flat pad with M105. Grey flat pad with M205. Blue flat pad with Collinite #845 (read the reviews on this stuff, sounds amazing. Had 39 5-star reviews!!!!)

Hmm, embarrassing, but whats DAT and SMAT?

Ok so how exactly do the sample and discounts work? Alright, for an APC i was thinking Meg's, would i want an APC+? Whats the difference between flat pads and CCS? I know the CCS has little divots, what are they for? I'll look into that wax, thanks. So whats the grey pad for? I've heard...

My first dive into detailing was last summer. My friend and I bought ourselves some clay kits, paste wax (I got Turtle Super Hard Shell hahaha), some washing supplies, and a few Meguiars products and went at it. We thought we might as well have been top notch professionals. Then I discovered...
