Good Topic. I polished the hood of my truck with a DA polisher about 9 months ago. Came out looking like good but had little imperfections such as big chips to primer. Its been a few months and just recently after a two bucket wash did I notice that I have big circles (look like enlarged water...

large thick paintbrush. Something like the center one.... here

Yup, I third the new backing plate for the Harbor Freight polisher. It tears those pads up if you even attempt to use speed 5-6 or the first time you try taking them off. I keep a few black finishing ones for applying waxes but have gone the way of the 5.5" microfiber cutting and polishing...

Why not buy an EZ-up or similar pop up shade. I can put mine up in 5 minutes and after its up and cool water is on the car is should allow you to work on it.

Are you washing the cars in a shaded area and allowing the cars to cool? Your not attempting to do a two bucket wash in 80+ degree sunshine on the whole car are you? You'd really only be able to do it panel by panel or else its going to dry.

Correct, picture is not of my truck. I meant the roof. I'm wondering if UV damage is the main culprit and if so do waxes and sealants have UV protection?

I have a 2007 Nissan Titan pickup and when seeing many on the road I notice that the top of the hood gets a sort of clearcoat fade or the paint starts to fade. I'm pretty new to the detailing world but wanted to ask if there is any product or ingredient that would prevent this. Example.. Are...

Go to 6:30 to watch him clean the paint. Personally from my limited experience I would be skeptical as he's using what appears to be a pretty short nap microfiber and is the dirt really being lifted just because of heat and steam? Seems like he's lightly dampening the car and then wiping the...

:iagree:

Nobody will really know unless you have a paint guage reader and readings from before the first polish. Even then, its really a guess depending on how long you spent on the panel and how low you shaved the CC. I would think that since you only used 205 and never 105 or other heavy compounded...

Just repacked mine. Sounds better.

Yeah right now its just weekend warrior stuff. I haven't done anyones car just this one (the gf's) to see how it worked. I'll look into opti-lense since I need to buy a few things off auto geek. How long does it take you guys to do the headlight restore? Mine took me some time but maybe that's...

Youtube - Plastic weldingDo you have the piece that's missing? Is it all in one piece? Otherwise I might sand the whole thing down to match the lowest portion or maybe make the damage into a symmetrical cutout so it looked like it was that way when you got it. Good luck, hard lesson to learn.

Yeah, I'll have to look into the opti products, I am looking into opticoating my truck. I went ahead and threw some megs ultimate paste wax for now. I appreciate all the help guys!

Went out and purchased the 3M headlight restore kit with drill attachment. (got it not only for headlight but to have the 3 inch foam cutting pad for the drill to get to tight areas in my arsenal. 1. Sand with 500 grit pads 2. Sand with 800 grit pads 3. Wetsand with 3000 grit pad 4. Polish with...

Check This out The link above will show you what I was able to do on my Nissan Titan with the HF Polisher and pads using Megs 105 and 205. The second one was a good scratch from some bushes I hit on a trail. I've since upgraded to the Chemical Guys microfiber F1 and F2 polishing systems on a...

Before I had an air compressor I just used a little dawn dish soap and hot water and scrubbed them together. They do heat up and can dry out the polish and cause them to get crusty. Once they would wring out clean I would throw them in the dryer with my microfiber towels on air dry. Once they...
