    Car goes into body shop, comes out worse

    The AG how-to polish videos show heavy marring with a lc orange pad, but does not show the paints condition prior to applying the finishing polish. My car is not nearly as bad as the videos car, so I thought a white pad would suffice, but I have been reading the details on this forum using op...

    Car goes into body shop, comes out worse

    Well, I am going to work on the car today myself. I was thinking of trying out my new optimum polish and lc pads. Should I use the orange or white pad, and if I do it with orange will I need to re-apply the polish with the white pad?

    Car goes into body shop, comes out worse

    I am with all of you, in the fact that I do not want to take it back to them since they have caused enough damage. I also, don't feel like doing it myself as I just did a spring detail on the thing, and at the rate I work and the depth of the scratches it would take me 20+ hours to wash, clay...

    Need help choosing pad and polish

    Finally got a pic of one of the bad areas. If I zoom out only a couple inches they are no longer visible. The stuff above the light is not scratches, its a reflection of the garage door opener.

    Need help choosing pad and polish

    Roof: Hood: Side: Wheel: Reflection: PICTURES LIE! The problem isn't doing research or buying locally. Depending which forum you are on different polishes are always recommended. You can research for years and never get an answer to what is best on what car and when. I've done a lot of...

    Need help choosing pad and polish

    When I got my car the dealer had put some scratches in it, and I might have added some myself when I first got it using a cheap wash mitt and cheap mf's. I have polished it twice and they never came out so this time I am determined. I am using edge pads (I have some lc's but no backing plates)...

    DP Pad Cleaner....

    If you use edge pads, be careful of leaving the pads in there for an extended amount of time. When you go to spin dry the pad can come off the backing plate. If it moves a little, the PC will lock up the next time you use it and start burning the pad. If it moves a lot, the pad will not even...

    ONR and leaf blower ?

    I meant after doing a normal ONR, chasing it up with the blower to get all traces off the car and out of the crevices. Since I have never done ONR yet I guess I don't really know, but sounds like you are saying there is not enough water to cause a concern as long as you dry the panels.

    ONR and leaf blower ?

    I just ordered my ONR yesterday, talk of wiping, streaking and spotting scare me. I never dry the car by wiping, I do a hose flush, followed by blotting the top panels, and blow dry with the vac n blow. I usually then do a AW application wiping very gently with my softest mf qd towels. If...

    How to send samples?

    I just looked at my bottle I thought was close to empty and it still has about 1/3 in it. Enough to do a car, so I think I could just send it in the original bottle.

    What sub and amp set up works best

    With a 12 or 15 you will be rattle city in that small car which you claim is already rattling (atleast you won't hear the road noise). Also, without upgrading the deck, speakers, wire, and interconnects just throwing a sub in there will be too overpowering. I would stick with a 10 (or pair of...

    How to send samples?

    Another member asked me to send them a sample but I have never sent or received a sample before. So I was just wondering how much to send, what to put it in, and how do you ship it?
