Thanks for the reply. My original question was posted a while ago, and I've since gotten a new Orange Honda Fit. I put on a clear bra myself on the hood, mirrors, part of the front fenders, and bumper (a BIG job around all those curves). The bra is barely noticeable, especially in this color...

Why is this your favorite? I was thinking of trying this, as well, and I'm curious as to your reasoning.

I do not find that Meg's Quik Wax works well in the sun at all...streaks badly for me. In fact, I don't really like the way it goes on at all. The spray is a bit too fine, and tends to blow onto places you don't want it if there is any wind at all, and if you do get overspray somewhere you...

Leather Masters has a series of cleaning kits that work really well. Leatherworldtech.com

Isn't that one of the most satisfying feelings you've ever had? When it works and the results are so good...just makes you come back for more...I seriously look at every car on the freeway fantasizing about correcting the worst paint I see... Sick...it's sick, really. We need help.

Yeah, I think you'll be fine. I understand the initial freak-out, though. If you are posting on this site, you are probably pretty type-A about your car care. I can only imagine your horror! The thing I would worry about is any fabric surfaces. You really want to deal with any potential...

I prefer to apply waxes by hand, and I couldn't see buy a PC just for this. However, I only have a rotary and a PC, so I tend to use the PC to apply glazes and fine polishes (and maybe a final buff), but never LSPs. It's just too fussy and messy, not all that much quicker, and I like the final...

I'm about to purchase some new clay bars and I was wondering if I could get some responses from the peanut gallery...(that's you guys!)...about which clay is your favorite and why. In addition, I've been using ONR as my lubricant base, and would welcome any comments about which lubricants are...

Is the new model a forced rotation design?

Is the new model a forced rotation design?

Claying is, IMO optional on a new car. I just bought a new car, as well, and I clayed the front end, just to test. The clay came up super clean after two or three panels, so I suspended that action. Of course, I did buy the model that was sitting inside in the showroom, so it hadn't been...

I realize this may be controversial...but I've heard a couple of painters I respect say that it makes little difference to the off-gassing and curing of the paint whether you apply a wax or not. HOWEVER, I personally don't do it...call it tradition or superstition or something...I usually...

I'm interested in this question, too. Also for curiosity's sake. I saw a 2009 Flat Black Nissan GTR at the movies the other day. It was definitely SICK, but I had to wonder how you might care for this paint. You couldn't buff out scratches, as it would produce an uneven shine. You couldn't...

I don't know...any colorant in the wax, it seems to me, would cloud and even distort the pigments in the paint. Now, I will trust you that it looks great on your Black car. But I don't know about the other colors...I would think that it would a )be such a small amount of pigment as to make...

I haven't. I thought I'd ask here first, see if there might be one I could trade for something...:D!

So what do you guys think about the claims of color specificity of use such as "...Orange Crush, a soft wax that breathes even more warmth into yellow, orange and red colored cars.", or that Banana Armor was, "...was specially created for warm coloured paintwork, including warm coloured...

Anyone know where I might find one of those wrap around handles for the Makita? I've got a used one that came with the side handle, and I'd like to try the other style. Or, if anyone has one they don't want, PM me.

Both of these:whs:...

I don't remember that infomercial, but at auto shows back in the eighties the Liquid Glass salesmen used to do that. They'd spray the car with spray paint and mark it with a grease pencil, too! I must've bought ten bottles of that stuff back then for my 66 Mustang. Of course, I would then go...
