    Swirl light???

    I bought the, Flex light from AutoGeek- great buy. It's small and powerful and it's the size of a flashlight. (I can't find it on AutoGeek right now but it came in my last order.)

    Iron-X, Clay Question

    As I understand things, "detailing" used to mean, and for some still means: wash, AIO or polish & wax, but then came the introduction of detailing clay so now the process seems to be: wash, clay, AIO, polish & wax. Is the next development in detailing: wash, Iron-X, clay, polish, wax? I'm...

    Iron-X, Clay Question

    As I understand things: 1) Iron-X dissolves iron based pollutants that are embedded in the clearcoat. Iron-X does not dissolve pollutants below the surface of the clearcoat. Is that correct? 2) These iron particles can discolor a white (perhaps very light color) car and so, Iron-X removes them...

    Full detailing procedure

    I'll probably be repeating a lot of what has already been said. I think #3,4,5 are basically the same thing. Polishing the paint (by machine, not so much if you're trying it by hand) should remove scratches, etchings and swirls. It might be a polish combo like Meguiars 105/205 or something...

    Paint Sealant over wax

    An observation of mine, much of detailing is more anecdotal than science- and I'm not commenting either way on your process. The real "test" on whether or not sealant can be applied over wax is- time. As I understand sealant, it chemically needs to bond with "paint" and wax prevents that needed...

    Another Iron-X question

    1) There was a post quite a while back that said, essentially, If you detail a white car use Iron-X. Is For those who use Iron-X, is there a reason white cars especially should use iron-X or was the comment probably one guy's observation? 2) In using Iron-X there is the warning- don't let it...

    Detailing sucks.....

    Depending on where in H-town you live, soon the pollen will be history and the lovely pollution from the refineries in Pasadena will leave a beautiful sheen on your car. (I went to UofH back in the '70's.)
