:facepalm: I should have said "doesn't look like CC failure", since that's what I meant... LOL

It looks to me like water spot(s). Especially if its single stage like you mention.

Sounds like they have some pretty good deals in spamville...

I have not had a chance to fully test this yet. I am currently basing this opinion on the fact that Opti-Coat is harder and has greater scratch/mar resistance. If you put a harder substance over a softer substance, you're going to add a certain degree of protection to that softer surface. Now...

Me me me!!! It's how I do all of my Christmas shopping! :)

I don't think Meguiar's or B&S pads suck by any means. It just happened that the pads I bought were LC, they serve me well, Eric (aka: The Pad Man) provides awesome customer service, and I have had no reason to switch to another brand. I own some Meguiar's MF pads and they've been okay, and...

Maybe I just got some bad ones. I have the WG and Blackfire ones.

Right off the bat I'd suggest smaller pads. The size of those pads on a vertical surface along with the amount of product required can be a nightmare! Try a 4" pad, I believe you'll notice a difference.

I really like the self-cleaning tips (they're the same as on the Meguiar's bottles), but the AG ones don't have the white foam gaskets that the Meguiar's ones have, and they don't stay screwed on very well either. I have had product dry out and discolor in these bottles. Additionally, they...

One thing that really helps me at least is using a Microbrush to apply the touch up paint. These are the same brushes (or at least very, very similar) that Griot's Garage sells in their touch up paint kit. I purchased mine (various sizes, but I prefer superfine) at a local hobby shop (10 for...

I think we all have experienced or currently are experiencing this. What equipment, pad(s), and product are you using? What is your current technique?

Yes, Menzerna Power Lock is another great sealant. If you need a sample of either that or BFWDAFPP, let me know.

Yes, I'm over at DA as well. Screen name over there is 00110001

Sounds like my neighbors. I already had one tell me I had the best looking car in the neighborhood. :)

I purposely park farthest from the door at work so that I can admire my car as I leave work... and so others can admire it too! Congrats on surviving the Pilot! Did my mother's 2011 Pilot for Mother's Day, and man does that have some real estate! They just bought a new one and I'll be...

Wheel Woolies. While the Daytona is more versatile, the WW are more durable. They also don't spray you in the face...

Take a look at this currently active thread regarding 2013 Accords: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/69387-13-accord-protection.html

It all depends on condition. Something as fine as Menzerna SF 4000 might be enough. More likely, Menzerna PF 2500 on a green CCS pad will be a good bet. Do a test spot first, of course... My case was a little more involved as I have removed almost all of the orange peel and I'm going for...

For removing Menzerna products, the Top Inspection is awesome. Yes, it's a bit grabby, but removing Menzerna residue has been said to be difficult - sometimes taking as many as three IPA wipe downs. Top Inspection cleans it up the first time. I would recommend a different bottle though as the...
