JoyofDriving, are you going to post "after" pics? I hope you manage to clean that up. Did you really try this "test" on a Porsche? Thats crazy. Especially one that doesnt even belong to you. Spoiled Rotten comes to mind if this is the case.

Apparently. If you like to do reviews, do them. If not, dont. Trying a product out for the first time, then trying to call it a comprehensive review is kind of pointless to me. A professional detailer doing a few dozen cars and then being impressed would be of more benefit. JMHO.

Where are the after shots?

Thanks

Good enough, Thanks. I am going to do the following. Wash, clay, QD, dry and then apply the 360 with the finishing pad, buff off any residue with a MF. If the look isnt good enough I will go ahead and get another LSP, such as the sig11 and give that a shot. Thanks for the help and I will add...

Thanks Surfer. Will do.One more Q. If I get the Sig11, what application method (by hand, or with the Makita, and if so, which pad for on and which pad for off) would give the best look? Also, my buffer is the makita 6040, it can be a random orbital or a rotary. If my paints imperfections are...

I am unsure of some of the terminology. If, by polish, you mean something abrasive, like compound, I have never done it since the truck was new. I have only washed and waxed with OTC products since new. I was hoping to wash it well, and then apply the XMT360 with orange pad to clean up any...

Another shot, in the shade, I think it may show the color better.

Thanks, Ito. The truck is actually more of a bronze or gold, not really silver at all. They call it Metallic Khaki if I recall. So the best wax is actually specific to vehicle color? I always figured the best quality was the best best quality, but have no experience to back this up. Given the...

Guys, I am sort of a newb and want to make my Ram look its best. It only has 20K so paint is good. I am going to list what I have and you guys tell me what the best process would be get THE look. I currently have XMT360(on the way), clay bar/lube, and a car wash. I am not opposed to buying...

It is under the clear. Doesnt catch when you run a fingernail across it. The car looks great until you really get close and inspect it. The wierd thing is, I didnt notice them at all prior to compounding it. Its no big deal, as this is just a work car. I am hoping to use this car to learn on...

I am just getting into detailing and am using my work car as a practice vehicle prior to getting to my pride and joy vehicle. I am presently using TW rubbing compound(until my AG order gets here next week) on the hood of my black Maz 626. AFTER compounding I am noticing very small little...

A popularity contest is exactly what it should be. Those who dispense good advice and are polite would rate well, those who dispense poor advice and are rude would rate poorly. Then you have the whole other class of people, the internet commandos who brag/lie and come off as asses in general( I...

Joyofdriving, are you old enough to actually drive?

The pad cleaner I have is a powder that you mix with h20 from AG, not sure of the brand. It was $4.99.

I have it in oad cleaner now. Will overnight be okay? First time I have ever used pad cleaner.

I will soak it in some soapy h2o and see if that does the trick. Need to clean it up to use on the Rams 20s:cheers:

I didnt know there was a sale. I have bought a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff in the last week, hope there wasnt a code or something I was supposed to mention to get the sale prices.

Length of extension cord is a big factor also. Longer the cord the heavier it needs to be.

I think thats what they call them. A couple of months ago I bought one to clean some FILTHY wheels on a T bucket I bought to resell. It cleaned them pretty well but it got filthy in the process. The whole bottom half of the ball went from red to black. I Then put it away and forgot about it till...
