Ok, my file upload keeps failing. Anyone have another way to upload a pic to this site?

I've only my hand for now, and actually... I think I can get a practice car. What's the cheapest DA? I think when I looked up the recommended models porter cable came out the cheapest. Is that right? Here's a semi decent pic of an example of the anomaly. From this photo it looks clear enough so...

I have a dark blue 2011 Lexus IS with a minor amount of weird anomalies on the hood, and I can't polish them out by hand for some reason. They're almost like below the clearcoat if you will. You can't feel them with your fingertips so I'm kind of confused as to what to do. I've heard that not...

But why black? It's clear lol. I can't figure out why when say, waxing, my cloth is light blue... :(

Re: Why do pads turn Ok, another question for this thread. I just hand polished a panel on my 2011 Lexus IS, and I can see some staining of the microfiber the same color as my paint, but I'm not believing Lexus doesn't have a clearcoat. Anyone? I used a really light black tinted polish, and...

I'd wax it. Stopped my chatter immediately.

Gotta bring this back up. No. Can't buy into that. Wax actually makes my chatter go away. I hate to be the guy that posts conflicting information because I know when I'm looking for solutions online and see two answers totally contradicting each other I get frustrated but this information...

Ok, I bought a filter exactly like this one (but in blue) http://dreamstreamr.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/p1050886.jpg from the local Lowes, to use on my hose when washing my car, and it doesn't even really make a difference. My first question is what am I doing wrong? And secondly, what do...

I see now... Wow. This stuff looks nice. Can't wait to try it.

What is IronX decon and ONR?

Ok, all my cars are black (i know) and when I clay them, after I wipe everything off, I can see micro scratches in the direction that I clayed. Is this standard, or am I doing something wrong.

Woah... LOL. I know you... Just came back on here after a year or two to ask about some clay bars and I see this thread. What a small world lol.

Wow, I havent been on in a while huh lol. To answer your question, I have an 87 with 69,000 miles on her.

A sealant and a synth wax is different? I thought they were the same?? I was under the impression that when a wax is man made, it also seals. Moreso than naturals. Boy, have I got a lot of experimenting to do. and TorsionTool, you say there may exist some bonding issues, between glazes...

Ok, quick question for all you wax experimenters. The current rule of thumb is, is that carnubas offer a touch deeper shine than the synthetics, but dont last as long. To get the best of both worlds, you should do a synthetic first, then a carnuba over it. Now, is this process a slight...

Yea, i wasnt talking about any more protection, just shine. I did a wax job about a month ago with a synthetic wax, and was lookin for a little more shine and swirl mark hider. was hoping maybe 3m's imperial hand glaze would make her look a touch shinier at the car show. I dont really want to...

I know this is a bone question but, can you glaze over wax? would that help whatsoever?

Now that's a car. (just like mine lol)

New here, but not to cars or detailing. I drive a buick grand national on the weekends, and am meticulous about keeping her clean and shiny. Lookin for some tips :) Tony L.
