    Claying a black car.

    I use (mostly) Meguiar's Professional Clay, and I have both Aggressive and Mild versions. I have noticed that the Aggressive clay has more of a tendency of marring on black cars, especially when in higher ambient and/or surface temperatures, but if the aggressive clay is needed, I use it...

    Problems with waxing

    Are you sure it's just not beading well because of the direction of the face of the lower panels? Beading is surface tension, and water doesn't really bead very well when on an upside-down, or downward facing panel. I think mostly just because of gravity.

    pricing issue

    I am curious: where are you located, and how old are you & your friend? Also, which brand(s) of products do you two use? Using your "Full Exterior" example, I would prorate my cost of supplies to be about $15 (car soap, clay, wax, wheel cleaner, tire dressing; plus water, and cost of buying and...

    pricing issue

    I am not a business by any stretch, but I do cars for friends, neighbors, and sometimes their friends and neighbors, because it seems the most recent car tends to sell another person on doing their car, etc.. When people ask me, "how much?", I usually tell them that I can do as much as they...

    2011 Mustang GT- NightMare!!

    I agree completely with truckbutt- so consider taking his advice about using milder polishes and pads. My black Mustang seems to have a really soft finish too. I swear I've seen new scratches and swirls appear simply by walking too close it...

    Pad cleaning...what do you use?

    XMT pad cleaner, and I like it, but I need more soon and it seems like it will be an expensive way to go permanently, so I need to look at other options.

    If anyone doubts there should be term limits on public office positions, all you need to do is look at Nancy Pelosi.

    Does Megs Ultimate Wax streak?

    I used it on a white Infiniti- it was a little bit on the difficult side trying to see where it was and wasn't yet applied, but once I was done I was completely happy. Extremely shiny, and wet-looking, especially for white, and we're about 4 weeks after waxing now and it still looks really nice...

    How do I fix this rust spot?

    Is there something wrong with Chrysler's paint in recent years? In the past week alone, I have seen 3 Chrysler products with random areas of bubbling paint. They all appear to be in good shape otherwise, just some random spots where paint has bubbles and/or rust. The cars are: 2008 Jeep...
