I went out to garage & tried UP on a black polishing pad at 3500. That made a much clearer shine. But I still think I'll get some M205 tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestions. I think in the past I was using #9 with an LC Orange cutting pad with good results. But I don't want to use that...

Thanks, I guess I'll start with a lighter pad. I've used this #9 swirl remover before on this car with great results. It's actually a little less aggressive cut than M205. #9 is a cut of (3) and M205 I think is 4 or 5. I do have some UP, what pad should I use with that? I can get some UC or...

I'm a somewhat experienced hobbyist detailer for my own vehicles. I'm prepping my black 96 SVT Cobra mustang for Carlisle PA Ford show Saturday. Today I stripped off old product with a mix of Meguiar's Gold car wash & small amount of Dawn. 2 buckets & mitt. Followed with ONR Wipe down. I...

I've used Collinite 845. With great success. My black car a 96 SVT Cobra is a garage queen so longevity is not an issue. But my wife's 2003 Subaru Silver, my 98 Ford Ranger Pickup dark green, and my mother in laws 2008 Malibu White all get a machine applied thin coating of 845 usually late...

Big Blue Monday December 5th is "My Birthday." It really is my Birthday, check my registration. I won't be Blue if you send me Big Blue, I'll be VERY HAPPY! Please, I don't want a Blue Christmas.

Big Blue I would love to test it on my shiny black SVT Cobra, Slick Silver Subaru Outback, Snow White Chevy Malibu, & Way Too Wet Shower Tiles. See how it stands up to the thirsty Blue / Gray drying towel I have, Green Waffle Guzzlers, Multitude of Microfibers, & Vince Inspired, Made in...

Sounds like the start of a good blues song "Well I woke up this morning, and my car was all hazy" Actually the 2nd thing that came to mind is you may be leaving it on too long before buffing it off. I remember reading that Collinite was hard to remove if left on for too long, so I wipe it off...

I didn't read all the replies but in October I washed my wife's 2003 Subaru Outback with dawn. Clayed it, then used Croftgate Aquanil-X, Quick n Slick, and then a very thin coat of Collinite 845, buffed out by hand. We had a rough winter with a lot of ice & snow. Both always easily removed from...

We lost our car in a hail storm. We stumbled upon what could be a great deal, a 2001 Acura 3.2 with 31,000 actual miles. It's in great shape except my wife thinks it smells of smoke. I think it's more a smell of a coverup from smoke. The original owner of 12 years supposedly didn't smoke. The...

Walmart.com now list them as sold out online. Thanks to you, lol

Thanks everyone. I wiped it down with a new chinchilla towel and UQD lightly sprayed. That worked pretty good, but even though they were washed, I got lint from the towels. I guess it's they way it is with gloss black paint. Then using a fresh Meg's MF towel I topped it off with Croftgate...

I have Ultima QD. IT'S been 2-3 days now since last coat. What MF towel is best to use? I applied to UPGP per the instructions, but I recall some here telling me the instructions call for too much product. Could I use a pad on my Griotts DA to really shine it up? I have white, blue, and...

I posted this on What did you detail today thread and didn't receive a reply. Need advice so I can move on. Product used was ULTIMA Paint Guard Plus sealant, WOWA. I buffed out swirls & water spots on my 96 SVT Cobra. It's black and scratches easily. Since I've got a bad back I have to do it...

Hi Kitty, how are you going to make the board? If you belong to Sam's or Costco you can print a 20x24" photo print for like $12. Mount it on black foam core then if you want spray it with protective UV spray or have it laminated. Make the whole thing up in PS. I need to make one for our...

Last weekend my wife was out of town so I had time to kill. I made rounds to Advanced, Autozone, Target, Walmart, and Pep Boys. I was unable unfortunately to find any bargains in the Reading PA area. But with this new information I will try several Advanced and see what I find. You have to...

Hi, I bought the concentrate of UWW, I think it's 16-18 ounces here on AG. Today I did my first WW ever. I used our new to us 2012 Ford Fusion Candy Red as the test subject. I mixed up per the instructions 1/2 oz to 22 oz distilled water in a ZEP spray bottle. I used MF towels purchased from...
