    My re-painted 97 Subaru has hazy doors - suggestions?

    Hey guys, Sorry I didn't see these responses yesterday. I washed & clayed the car last night as I didn't have time for the UDM. I did take a couple pics after wash to show the defects. These are of the pass side, can you see how muted the flash is? I hope this shows the haze well

    My re-painted 97 Subaru has hazy doors - suggestions?

    So I've got a full complement of tools from AG, including a UDM and XMT #3, #1, glaze, and 180 wax. I've also got DG105 sealant. My Subaru had a repaint late last year, cheap $1000 in 2-weeks job, but the overall quality of the paint job isn't too bad. However the guy was in a hurry and didn't...

    New to detailing and building my kit of supplies/equipment from scratch

    I was in the same boat as you and decided to go a little simpler, but you've got it right I'd say. If you plan on washing multiple cars in one sitting, I'd get another Guzzler for the other car. I have the Supreme Guzzler (20x40 I think) and it wasn't up to the task of drying two cars in a row...

    Kleen car class

    I'm no expert at professional detailing, but I wouldn't pay someone $500 to show me how to detail a car. I would pay a professional detailer to detail my car and give him a nice tip to let me watch & ask questions, but in all reality you won't hurt anything if you approach with a little common...

    Help: Should I get a PC or the UDM

    This was my reasoning OCDetails. I knew PC was the stalwart of automotive detailing, but when I read that the UDM had all the same benefits plus a stronger motor and a good price, I couldn't help but ask 'why not?'

    Shinin' Spice Red GTO

    Great pics...looks a lot like mine! :P I just got a UDM, XMT compounds, and XMT 180 wax (came free w/the UDM, why not) - my Spice Red has some minor swirls that I'll be fixing and then polishing her up. Can't wait for her to look as good as yours!

    Help: Should I get a PC or the UDM

    I'm in your situation and picked the UDM. I am a bit concerned over the new-ness of the product and the resulting longevity, but the better features won me over. Hopefully the company & AG (to whatever degree they are responsible) will stand behind it if there are quality issues.

    Gotta admit, not too impressed with AG Foam Gun

    That's a great story - kudos to the AG crew

    Schmitt

    I bought the Shmitt recently and like it a lot. The soft foam side is just that, very soft. The yellow side is rougher to help you get off tough grime, sap, bugs, etc. I have large hands and there is barely enough room for me to use it comfortably, or of course you can use it without your hand...

    First-time mega order - please provide input

    I assumed the UDM was a more expensive product, but it appears I'm incorrect. $199 with pads & a bag? Seems like I'd need an orange cutting pad to work through some of the XMT swirl removers as well. Why is it cheaper, but better? I know it is a new product, how many independent reviews have...
