So I didn't get the Phase 5 compound in the mail today, looks like another company messed up my order. I wanted to: Wash - Clay/Nano - Compound - Polish - Glaze - Seal - Wax How bad is it to skip compound and move on to Polish and the rest? My paint is in pretty good condition...

Got my nanoskin fine grade today. Broke it in, and used it... Took about 25 - 30 mins to do the whole car (not the roof) and I will say it was much more enjoyable than claying. It didn't remove everything with the quick pass but it did just about the same job as a clay job would do. Im sure if I...

Got all my stuff today! Except for the compound. How bad would be it be to skip from Clay - Polish - Glaze - Sealant - Wax and not do the compound. My paint is in pretty good condition (I think).

Ive become a Chemical Guys fan and have just finished completing my CG shelf for both the weekly wash, and the monthly detail. Everything will be applied by hand though, as I do not have DA. Here will be my weekly and monthly routines broken down. (Not every product is CG but close enough)...

Wow... well for a small portable shop vac, while also bearing in mind the price, the heavy duty 5.5hp shopvac brand yellow one seems to have the highest SP and CFM...

Members say to go with the Fine Grade because the Medium causes marring... I just picked up the fine grade and will be using it this weekend/

I have a large shop vac, but if i was going to get a smaller one, it would be: Shop-Vac 5872410 5.5-Peak Horsepower Portable Contractor Right Stuff Wet/Dry Vacuum, 5-Gallon

Eventuly i will but as this will be my second purchase id like to have a whole shelf in the garage of just CG stuff haha

Just picked up the nanoskin speedy prep towel in Fine. Will be using it this weekend and we will see how it does compared to clay. Maybe i will be a 50/50 test on my hood at first...but that seems like it would slow down the process thus defeat the point!

You will want to clean them with a leather cleaner and the condition them. From what I have read the thing with leather is to find out if you have a coating or not. I am pretty sure a VW will have a coating. Autogeek sells a foaming leather cleaner and condition which might work well for...

I wonder how M205 would compare to their Phase V polish / compound... I kinda like sticking all with the same brand...

Can M205 be applied by hand?

So can explain the dislike that most "detailers" have for cleaning towels like the absorber?

I live in central FL so i get the issue with rain / FL sun... luckily my garage sits in the garage unless for some reason we need a 7 person truck. I dont get my license back till next week (after 6 yrs yay!) ... I think i will do the black light every month of so... and the V7 spray after...
