    HELP, bug bug damage too much to repair?

    Do you think wet sanding can shave off a little more of the etching... or do you think that will do more damage to this bumper? It's a Nissan, so I know the CC is softer than other brands. I have M105 / Meguiars UC / Meguiars Polish... so I can smooth out the scratch marks the wet-sand would...

    HELP, bug bug damage too much to repair?

    I don't think it got down to the primer level... but I'm afraid it might have completely compromised the clear coat. Would a glaze help cover a little of that?

    Interior Windshield Cleaning

    Good, you're using Stoner's Invisible Glass... awesome stuff. I recommend using a thin Glass cleaning microfiber first (one with low ply), then buff using a regular plush microfiber. I've had good luck with this method.

    HELP, bug bug damage too much to repair?

    ARGH... :bash: So I'm trying to detail my dad's car (2010 Nissan Altima), but I think the bumper is damged beyond repair at this point. He neglected to clean bug guts off the car WAY too long, and this is what it looks like: I basically did all the proper prep work: Clean + Clay + IPA (even...

    Hey all, So I'm looking for a spray wax (either Synthetic or Carnauba) which can be used in direct sunlight. Wonder what everyone's favorite is, and why.

    Can a waterless wash with wax be used before claying and polishing?

    I don't think there is anything wrong with using a wash and wax... I do it all the time. Look at Meguiars D115 / Wolfgang Uber Rinseless / Optimum Wash and Wax... they can all be used as clay lube. Great products to keep in your stock... waterless / rinseless / clay lube / quick detailer all...

    Pearl Metallic White Paint ... Wax or Sealant?

    Okay, I know wax works best for Colored/Dark/Black colored paint to make the colors rich and pop. I'm a little confused for WHITE colored paint though... and it seems like I'm not the only one. Some posts I'm reading says wax makes the "metallic" finish not glitter as much. Others say it makes...

    Best "Deep Gloss" Sealant that looks like Carnauba and lasts 6+ months?

    Thanks for the detailed information and pics JeffsRealm I'm not sure if I'll have time to do 2 coats though... 24 hours. I've read from a LOT of people that Pinnacle Souveran wax is a miracle wax that super easy to apply/remove and great gloss. Is it really THAT great?

    Should you Glaze before applying Sealant?

    Okay, so I already and bought some Meguiars MG7 Glaze and Wolfgang Sealant. However, I'm now starting to question myself if a GLAZE is worth putting on the paint if I plan on sealing the paint (non-ceramic). I know Glazes are supposed to "fill" in cracks of the clear coat and possibly a thin...

    Qs about Wolfgang Uber Rinseless

    Hey all, So I've been reading up on WGUR on various forums and watching a few videos (not many) about this product and had several questions: 1) Does WGUR have some type of glass enhancers? ... if so, are they Synthetic or Carnauba based? 2) Someone mentioned Meguiars D155 leaves an "oily"...

    Favorite Waterless Wash

    I actually have a question for you guys that use Rinseless/Waterless washes. ONR vs Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Of the two... which would you pick... and why? I'm seeing that ONR is roughly 1/2 the concentration power of WUR for about 1.5x price difference. I've never used WUR, so I'm not sure if...

    Favorite Waterless Wash

    I personally use Optimum ONR (non-wax version). Great to use for weekly washes, detail spray, clay lube, and pre-paint/correction cleaning since it has no wax (easier cleanup with IPA). I was actually going to get Meguiars D114 Express Wash (no wax)... but it got discontinued. Others...
