Yeah, Lempiras!

K, if for that small fee you fly down to Honduras, Central America :P ?

I think I might just get a pressure washer, as i've been doing it with just a hose and a pressure nozzle. There aren't any coin operated wash where I live (honduras, central america). It's a big deal, because I want to preserve my cars paint :P After I hose and rinse everything down, there's...

I've searched the forums for best way to rinse mud and not scratch but found no definitive answer. I've uploaded a picture so you get a better idea. Basically I: 1. Rinse it all off with water. 2. Bucket foam it and let the foam rest for around 5 minutes, just before it dries 3. Use hose with...

Removing Overspray

damn right! :P Can't believe I took an overspray situation on my car to find out about :P But I guess, that's the "positive" in this whole situation...

Cheesy title is cheesy, but had to! So in follow up to: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/40287-polisher-buffer-buy-situation.html Let me say this first and foremost, I Live in Honduras, Central America, detailing at it's max means turtle wax lovers rejoice, anything...

Stuff is finally here! Though won't be able to work on car till teh weekend!!!

Hi Mike, Thanks for all your thorough replies, I finally managed to get my courier address sorted out. So I've got just a couple of questions before I Buy the things. 1. I would like to, based on how I've described the overspray situation in the thread, try and use the PC, with wax/polish or...

Dust pic

Just a quick update, what backplate should I order? I think i'll place my order tuesday or wednesday, i'm waiting for confirmation on the address from my courier... And a couple of pics from teh mess. I tried so many ways of getting the paint to be visible, only managed to get a couple of...

Hey, thanks again for the quick replies, I'll check back later on with my final shopping list just to be sure

Quick response, im at field atm, ok i understand what a backplate is, but why do i need one? To out the foam Pads on? Hey Its better to ask, then remain ignorant.

It sounds a lot worse, but trust me, it was just so I could apply even pressure, did the hood like that it took me two whole days, not worth it, then I found this site which helped greatly on how to do it better. Anyhow, any ideas for the plastic trims?

Alright! Again, thanks for the reply! Yeah I kinda figured since all the "experts" here recommended was rubbing compound I kinda had my doubts. And I do really want to play it safe, I don't want to screw up the clear coat. Should I get 2 clays just to be safe and the clay disc as well, will...

Hey Mike, thanks for the thorough reply. Well to be honest, I posted amazon, because before I found this forum via google, it's where I usually get any stuff I order. If you look in my above posts, I mentioned the PC kits I found here, I then looked up and you do accept international credit...

Also, I was looking at the PC kits, mainly because they don't exceed $250, but not quite sure on what pad to get for the above situation, perhaps a microfiber bonnet:/ ? Because I don't think I'll need to using any sort of compound for removing the overspray, but after, in any case, i'll just...

Hey, thanks I hope to become a regular :P I didn't know there was so much variety in car detailing, for me turtle wax was "the man" when it came to washing/waxing. Long story short, the a$$hole offered to get "professional rubbing" people to do the other cars in the parking lot and they screwed...

So our maintenance guy decided to spray paint one of the houses last monday next to where most of us park our car, though he assigned someone to it and didn't supervise, wind got the overspray on about 5 cars including mine, a 2011 Mazda 3. He offered to get it professionally cleaned...
