Thanks a bunch guys. How often would you use Iron X? - Would you use Iron X for every car wash? - Only in preparation for paint decontamination and machine polish?

Hi all, I'm trying to get a better understanding on the differences of paint protection between ceramic and sealant. Products such as CQuartz Finest and Opti-Coat seem to get mentioned quite a fair bit on here. Any additional information or hint and tips would be great :)

Hi guys, I am looking at purchasing CarPro's Iron X. Here are my questions regarding it's application. 1a. Do I spray undiluted directly on the paintwork to then dwell and rinse with water? 1b. Do I need to use a wash mitt to wipe off or is it just a matter of spraying, dwelling and rinsing...

Hi all, After drooling at all the show n shine posts I am now wondering which wheel cleaner to add to my collection. I know many of you have your own preferred brand but is there one that is the more popular choice and stands out from the others? It looks like most of the wheel cleaner...

What is a nano product?

Thanks so much for your informative replies guys. I used the blue Clay Magic bar. Just a couple of quick questions with regards to the iron and tar remover - 1. What are the differences between iron remover and tar remover? 2. Is this a simple and easy process to do on your own? 3. What...

Hi all, After a clay over my whole car I am finding most flat panels and surfaces are still rough. Any ideas as to why this is the case? I also still had a number of tar spots that weren't removed during the clay process. I was under the impression that a claying assists with...

Hi all, I'd like to know which recommended product can help rejuvenate and protect dashboards, door trims, console trim etc? I have only used Aerospace 303 but would like to compare with another product that perhaps adds a little extra gloss and shine but not leaving a greasy trail behind...

Hi guys, I'm slowly getting my detail addiction on. I have a car that has water marks on the hood, trunk and glass windows. What is the best way to remove these? Are there any particular products or methods I should consider using as a solution? Appreciate any advice or info :)

Looks like Tar X is going in my shopping cart! I have a whole bunch of small black dots on the bottom half of my car. The car has always been garaged and has extremely low mileage but it's never been clayed or machine polished. At first I thought it was a matter of using the clay bar or...

How would Detailer's Pro All Exterior Cleaner go? Or should I go straight to Tar X?

Hi all, I have seen a number of small black dots on the bottom panels of my car and no matter what I do with extra elbow grease they just don't seem to be going away. Can anyone recommend a product that will ease my pain and help remove these stubborn tar type spots? I also have a few on the...

Hi all, During an afternoon wash on my black car yesterday I had come across some unnoticed bird droppings which more than likely have been sitting on the paint for the last 2 days. As I've rinsed and washed it away it has still left some markings behind which can be noticed at different...

Where can I find the above polish/compound and paint hardness charts?

After doing a test spot, how would I know if the paint is hard or soft? Is 'hard' interpreted as being hard to remove defects and rids? Still learning here and appreciate your info so far :)

Hey guys, I am wanting to know how to determine if a car has soft or hard paint? Would one be easier or harder to work with when cutting, polishing or finishing?

Hey Cardaddy, What were the codes PO83 and PO91E you used in a previous post related to?

Thank you very much again Cardaddy. Just to confirm, I should prime my brand new LC CCS pads before using for the first time? I am able to purchase the Menz IP2000 intensive polish here but not the SI1500. What were the codes PO83 and PO91E?

Bump :)

Once again Cardaddy you have provided a very helpful and informative reply. Thank you again! I was looking at the Menzerna SI 1500 you recommended as an alternate solution but it does not look like any of the retail distributors here in Australia stock the Super Intensive range :( Back on...
