Well one answer would be if other polishes won't get the job done. I have only used two aggressive polishes, but I had very little luck removing swirls with Optimum Hyper Compound on a couple of my cars, but SIP had no trouble at all.

I just tried Collinite 845 on my windows with good results. Really the only complaint I could give so far is I get like a smudge in the middle of the windshield where the passenger wiper stops while it's raining. It's hard to describe. When it stops raining and dries up, you can't see it...

Well we are getting a TV this year I think, so nothing coming for me. But I would still like: Rotary Foam gun more towels Soveran paste Four Star UPP or Megs #21

Ah, don't sweat it. Even when my black car is dirty it still looks better than a clean white car.

Honestly that red top is ugly. But man those cars are beautiful.

Heck, the 845 is so easy, that when I applied it I was short on time and had to pick up my kids. So I left it on there and buffed it off when I got home at least a half hour later. But it wasn't hot.

Thanks for the comments! As for the beading, here is a shot I took after I finished washing to show the great beading. Just look at the water flooding off the hood.

These pictures were actually taken a couple weeks after the fact, but I was taking some pictures for the Bonneville forum, so I figured I would throw up a few here. I did a Menzerna Micropolish followed by two coats of EX-P and one coat of 845IW. Another layer will follow in another month, and...

I just had an epiphany of sorts today. My Bonneville has some horrid black plastic trim that seems to have a painted finish, but it's almost more like hard rubber and looks like crap after a while. Since I bought the car last year it's become embedded with crap, and I found it is pretty easy...

Depends a lot on what type of pictures you want to take. I narrowed my choice to three last year, looking for something with a nice zoom. I ruled out the Sony (H5 I think it was) based on price since I was wanting to stay around $300. Then I ended up with the Panasonic FZ7 over the Canon S3...

Hemmings Muscle Machines and Auto Restorer.

Sorry to hear the news. How are you set financially? From the sort of job you had, and being 63, I assume you may have been planning to retire before long anyway. To me this is a blessing in disguise. If you are setting pretty well for retirement, you are sick of the travel, this gives you a...

I love that site. I've wanted to get a poster or something for work, but I'm not sure how it would go over. :D

I'll also point out that I washed the car last weekend which was about a week after the hazing happened this last time. After the wash, which I did in the garage later at night, I went over the car with a quick detailer and it looked great. All the haze was removed. Well, the next day after I...

Since it happened twice all over the hood, and only the hood, I'm pretty certain it's more to do with the heat than being too thick, but I'm not ruling that out either. I'm pretty sure this is a beauty wax. It's one of the test waxes from P21S. So Al's thought makes sense.

No, I think you may have misunderstood. I applied the AW after a wash in the shade when the car was cool, and then the next day, or a couple days later it fogs over and if I touch it, it smears.

The jury is still out for me on whether AW will work over carnauba. I'm having issues with it fogging up on my hood. It may be an issue of applying it too thick, but I think it's more of a heat issue (engine heat/outside temp of 80's/black car) since it's only been a problem on the hood and...

I'm with FMINUS, get paint from the local dealer. I don't know what the stuff is like on that other link posted, but when I got paint from the dealer it was much better quality than the stuff you get at the local stores. It's thicker and easier to deal with.

What do you guys think about CANSLIM? I have Oneils book, and thought it made a lot of sense.

I need to find the time to do some research. It looks like this is a great time to do it, and be ready for the next upswing.
