Hello all, I have two cars that I need to store outside as I have no more room in my garage to put them. Will using car covers scratch the paint? Can anyone recommend a brand/specific cover? Thanks

Lmao, it doesn't matter, but you may prefer top load as it gets a lot of the water out. I wouldn't recommend drying them in the dryer as it may wreck the fibers. Just hang them to dry

Yea I spent 30 hours on my vw, paint is hard as heck and boy it wasn't fun lol. I wish all paint was soft, but then again... durability

Omg, you're a freaking genius and I'm retarded. I been so tired of washing all my towels by hand because I don't have an extra washer and dryer for the nasty gunk and all this time there's a laundry mat around the corner that I've never thought to try.

Hello everyone, this is a bit of an unusual question but I've had my griots garage 6 inch polisher for almost a year now and I've started to notice when I turn it off and its spinning down it makes a whining noise and abruptly stops spinning. It seems it's coming from the plastic fan piece. Any...

Sounds good, thanks for the input!

Yea, totally understand. It's just all my cars have extremely hard paint (vw's) and since I don't have any mf cutting pads I'm forced to keep my arm speed like 1cm/2sec lol. Using a toothbrush helps and a bit of water spritz each time I do a new pass. But more importantly, passing over the dust...

Hi guys, when I use megs ultimate compound, 90% of the time it starts dusting everywhere creating a mess. If I don't stop to wipe all the dust off where I'm working and just continue to finish my section will the dry dust cause scratches?

Oh **** good point!

Wow nice bike! Do you cover anything before you wash it down?

Hey guys, so I have the opportunity to detail a 69' Camaro and a very nice Harley. The owner is requesting both be completely detailed. After seeing them, they are literally already in 9.5/10 condition. The paint on both is flawless. But the engine of the Camaro is a bit dirty and greasy. The...

Hmm, yea I'll try the ipa first...wiping in one direction then if not I'll try goo gone :/

How was I supposed to cover my rubber then? Lol. It would transferred onto my pad and scratched the paint even more while polishing

Won't wd-40 degrade the wax??

Hello everyone, I've got a small problem. I was detailing the upper part of the door (above window) and of course on my particular car there is weather stripping that I must tape off to prevent the pad from rubbing against it and collecting black rubber on the pad. After polishing and applying...

Honestly, easiest way to tell is if the water starts to pool on the car instead of beading after a wash. That's when you need to reapply. Next time it rains, go take a look at someone's car (probably not waxed) and you'll see the difference if yours still has protection or not.

I know how you feel! I'm currently doing my VW Golf and man it's got hard paint. With my GG6 I do speed 5.5 with a yellow pad and megs Ultimate compound. I take it really slow arm speed. Mind you the paint on my car is atrocious. I have pictures if you wanna take a look. Anyhow, maybe 2...

I ended up going with the Sonax. It makes drying the car sooo much easier. Literally cuts drying time in half.

This makes me smile. Thank you Guz!!

Yes but any wax can sheet water like that using just the end of the hose. I don't rinse my car down that way. I have my sprayer set on "shower" and I've seen wax that really sheets it off using the sprayer which is what I want. I'm stuck now between what Mike Phillips suggested with Sonax PNS...
