Thanks for that info. I was playing around with my new uro-fiber pad last night on my wife's black Maxima. With my long-throw DA, I tried using D300, Adapt and Speed as a 1 step compound/polish step. Couldn't quite get there with that setup as it left a very slight haze, but pretty close and...

I've been wondering about this pad too as I'd like to see if I can one-step as a cutting/polishing pad or one-step an AIO. So, I picked up a 5" locally today. Over the next few weeks I'll see if I can try D300, M105, M205, Adapt and Speed. I'm all out of M100 which is one compound I would really...

richy - absolutely stunning work, as usual from you! How did you approach cleaning out the spaces in the 750i badging? As an enthusiast, I sometimes struggle with finding the best method to clean and polish this area.

I can relate to this post. Had the hood of my SUV replaced/repainted by a shop that does very good work and I was super pleased with the results. A week later when washing the vehicle I found what appeared to be a very fine clear coat over spray mist on my wheels. Was able to remove with clay...

I've heard this cuts a bit more than Speed, but can anyone tell me how this finishes down compared to Speed? thx.

Paul- first of all, a belated welcome to AZ. We're on the tail end of the summer heat (hopefully!) I have the original version of the DIY Zach build. More than happy to let you try it out to see if you have any interest in building one. I gave away my Dual Halogen light as I got tired of...

I used them this year as I had a few of my wife's car panels resprayed and got good results. I used the 5 1/4" size on my GG6. It was a budget respray from a guy I knew. I had him purposely shoot extra clear so I would have enough clear to level the orange peel I knew I would end up with it. It...

I have first dibs when you sell it :laughing:

Wow, Mike - thanks for the prompt, detailed response. Very much appreciated! A comment and question: 1. sorry I didn't read your write-up more closely. You answered my first question in it so sorry you had to repeat when you washed the car :-) 2. How did you do the split-quote response? I know...

Re: Avoid water spots - Fast and simple way I dry my cars Mike - thanks for the write up on this. I live in AZ so had a few questions for you: 1. what time of the morning was this car washed? 2. How long did the car washing portion take? And, did you have to keep rinsing the car so it didn't...

Enjoyed seeing the popular equipment and products of yesteryear. BTW, who's that young looking guy that sort of looks like you:laughing:

starting out with a flex and Mike P's education....can't think of a better way to start out. Keep us posted on your progress..and BTW, welcome to AGO!

Mike - great info from you, as usual. I've saved a ton of time by regularly zipping around my vehicles with McKee's Jeweling Wax and a white thinpro pad. Cleans up great and provides nice gloss without grinding down my clearcoat. I learned this tip from you when you did the Jeweling Wax review...

You two keep upping your game. Thanks for sharing your work with us!

I'm thinking of restocking my stash with HD Polish+. I had the old version which dusted but heard the "+" version doesn't. Which pad have you been using for light maintenance cleanup on something with medium hard paint and you just want to remove very light swirls? For this discussion, let's say...

WRAPT and mwoywod - thanks for the clarification. now I understand when I would use this..

Are you guys saying that I could get LSP ready ( at least by production detailing standards) by adding distilled water to M205 and MF cutting pad on a long throw DA?

Love that tripod. How nice will that be to get your lighting quickly into "perfect position" !

thanks! it cleaned up nicely and I actually found it rewarding to be able to create such a dramatic change yes, very pleased. In fact, they told me it looked better than when they bought it used from a dealer a few years ago. thanks! hard to believe but it's true! Thanks, Marc08EX. Total...

I offered to detail my father-in-law's Acura for no charge. Never heard back and when I asked him about it he said " The guy at the carwash told me you're not supposed to wax the paint on cars these days" From that day on I never brought it up again since I'm sure the "guy at the carwash" was an...
