    Bought my First Set of Products

    I would rather go for a dedicated sealant rather than a combination product. I've heard great things about Duragloss, Klasse, and another one that started with a "C". I think I may try out the Klasse sealer.

    Girlfriend's mom wants me (noob) to detail her car...

    It would be Sunday. I'm compounding my own car completely tomorrow sun-up and doing my girlfriend's - just the cleaner wax (bad clear coat). By then I should be comfortable enough to tackle the job.

    Girlfriend's mom wants me (noob) to detail her car...

    After 6 months you would think I wouldn't be so intimidated anymore... Maybe my detailing is a way to win their hearts. What risk is there in going with the cut of #1?

    Girlfriend's mom wants me (noob) to detail her car...

    I have 5.5" LC Flat pads: Orange, White, and Black. And is Meg's UC really that good? In my research I read tons of people say go with 105/205 and so many others say they use the UC. In which scenario do you use each application?

    Girlfriend's mom wants me (noob) to detail her car...

    I'm going to come out and say it, I'm scared of my girlfriend's parents. They are very successful businesspeople and are a very intimidating. They heard that I was interested in and researching detailing cars and offered theirs for me to practice. Needless to say, I can't screw this up. I'm a...

    O'Reilly's has Mothers and Meguiars, but all have wax or "conditioner". I'll get M105/M205 hopefully if an OTC store has it. Otherwise, I hope the stuff I have will do.

    Great advice. After all these initial purchases I'm plannning on waiting and picking up stuff gradually. I just have a bad itch to start now and want to get to it!

    Bought my First Set of Products

    I'm still looking around for a good sealant. Is synthetic wax the same thing as a sealant? And don't be mad, but I bought ZWipes MF. At this point in my endeavors I need cheap quantity over quality. I looked around for an APC but just don't want to spend the money yet on a product that isn't...

    Bought my First Set of Products

    I watched an hour-long special on youtube about M105 and M205 with the diminishing compound and all and I really wanted to try it out. 1 and 9 were the only things at the store I went to and I just didn't want to wait for the shipping from AG. My pads come in today and I can finally get started...

    Bought my First Set of Products

    I spent the past weekend in my uncle's woodshop and saved up enough money to buy some detailing products. After being obsessed with refinishing/detailing for awhile now, I can finally start doing it! Tell me what you think, what I have that I don't need, and make any suggestions on anything else...

    Beautify the Base Coat

    Hello all! This is my very first post. Over the last year or so I've been really interested in detailing mine and other people's cars. Over the past few weeks I have been completely consumed in reading up on techniques and attempting to decide what to purchase. Somehow I ended up spending $300...
