    First detail this sunday but still confused

    one - Good luck tomorrow! I just got done on my car, and it took a total of 12 hours, and I didn't do the inside (alright, 11 hours, I took a 1 hour lunch break). I just used Wolfgang 3.0 Paint Sealant, and the time it took to apply, and remove was inside of 45 minutes. I love the way it...

    JUST got back from the bodyshop!! Need advice...

    The BBB in Cleveland is Cleveland: Home I did a search for JJ in Cleveland, and couldn't find it. The address you entered in is coming back for Custom Color & Collision Center. What they did was just WRONG! I would also file an online complaint with the Attorney General in Ohio (Ohio...

    First detail this sunday but still confused

    one - The first time I clayed my car, I used Megs Clay kit. It came with two clay bars, a bottle of QD, and a MF. After washing and drying, be sure and lubricate the surface with a QD, and then run the clay bar over the surface. If you use the right amount of QD, there will be no clay...

    Polymers – Fluff vs. Substance

    killrwheels - Thanks. This certainly does help simplify things. I read TOGWT's 'Polymer sealant (Chem 101)' thread, and it really helped me understand quite a bit more. TOGWT - Like I mentioned above, I read your 'Polymer sealant (Chem 101)' thread, and I'm a better person for having done so...

    Repair Scratched Glass

    Jimmie - Thanks for replying! I tried the Menz 106ff (with the free 5.5 orange pad and my flex 3401) on my glass door, and love the results! There were a few deep scratches, and based on your advice, figured I would not apply more pressure on them than the smaller scratches. As a matter of...

    Repair Scratched Glass

    Hello All – I’ve percolated another question. I’ve been looking perusing the vast offerings of Autogeek products, and while reading about glass repair, I remembered that I have a sliding glass door that is full of tiny scratches from a previous owner’s dog. OK, I’ll admit it; I obsess about it...

    Polymers – Fluff vs. Substance

    I'll try to be a bit more specific. When I read a product's description, there are certain words that jump out at me as being suspect. One of these words being "polymers". The word sounds good, but it really isn't 'describing' the product for me as a layperson. Is this word used primarily as...

    Polymers – Fluff vs. Substance

    Ok, this may be a fairly “freshman” question (don’t you hate disclaimers before the question is even asked?), but how exactly do polymers affect the quality of a product? I’ve been reading product descriptions like “German Super Polymers”, “crystalline polymers”, “cutting edge polymers”...

    attracting flies with liquid souveran?

    I wonder if it has anything to do with the chemistry of the product. Since we are now moving to warmer weather, I wonder if your wonderfully detailed, deep glossed silver paint is fooling them into thinking it's water. Although that theory doesn't really explain the attraction from the ants...

    attracting flies with liquid souveran?

    I have a problem with my kids wanting to touch the car, and smear stuff on it after I’ve finished an arduous detail. I don’t think their drawn to it for the same reason as flies.

    Rotary buffer experience...

    ZoranC – You bring up a very good point. I’ll put a disclaimer on my statements indicating that I’m as new as the day is long, but I’ve recently had an experience where I was unable to remove a few defects using the flex (see the thread -...

    Rotary buffer experience...

    Ok, I'm not a professional (nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express), but he are my 2 cents. If you are going to be doing extensive corrective work on a regular basis, then I would go with a rotary. However, if the majority of your work will be minor to medium, I would highly recommend the...

    Computer / Word doc

    :iagree: I'll go one step further. For a Word Document, I'm assuming there will be quite a few pictures for the size to be around 4 meg. You can PDF the document, thus reducing a little bit of the size, and making it platform independent. Then, you can email it to yourself and access it...

    Looking for Right Combo of Products

    Thanks Rsurfer - I put in an order for Menz 106ff and the Wolfgang Paint Sealant 3.0. After I have the opportunity to use it, I'll post back my results. I truly do appreciate your input. :cheers:

    Looking for Right Combo of Products

    I haven't done this before. What benefit does wiping down with Prep Sol or Alcohol provide? Thanks for your input. I'll be "pulling the trigger" this weekend.

    Looking for Right Combo of Products

    Hello All - I've recently made the transition to detailing with a machine (Flex XC3401) opposed to by hand, and the products I have acquired aren't necessarily producing the results I had expected. By hand, I would swear by Meguiar's 3 step Deep Crystal (Cleaner, Polish, Wax), but with the...

    Hello from Missouri

    Thank you all for the welcome. I've got quite a bit to learn, and finally, a really good informational resource in the form of this forum. I should be receiving my order the first of next week, and can hardly wait. I may test the flex out on my wife's "car" to get a little experience before...
