ANY compound or polish can be used too much. This is because the vehicle has a finite amount of clear coat on it. Once that is gone its gone.... unless you repaint!!!! It is possible to keep a daily driver to a very HIGH level with minimal effort by washing properly once a week and being...

>>>Christopher.Brown - guess my real name.. lol will have to leave early though around 1pm

I can come by i have to leave around 1 because i have a previous appointment I need to attend. What equipment will you be in need of?

I do this for particularly filthy cloths, which i keep in a different wash batch from my normal usage.... I also do it once or twice a year for a DEEP DEEP MF cleaning and have found the results to be good. But as i mentioned before, i think a brief pre-wash, then 30 min soak, then regular wash...

Best Method for Drying an Automobile: [without the use of reated water of course] Of course all of these methods are performed from the top of the vehicle down to ensure no type of contamination of dried panels water or particle. 1] Flood the vehicle - take the attachment off of the hose and...

Personally Ive washed hundreds of loads of Microfiber and Ive tested many many methodologies.. cheap and costly alike. This is what i have used for the last 3 years with great effectiveness to wash all of my microfiber products 1] Set the washer to HEAVY SOIL LEVEL - the washer agititates...

D156 is a great product. Since its trim safe, it provides a great way to add an additional sacrificial barrier to the existing LSP. AS mentioned above, it does greatly increase surface tension providng great slickness that doesnt allow contaminants to stick to the paint easily. Personally I...

Rupes Big foot - 21mm throw is unrivaled... this cannot be stressed enough.... can i get an AMEN! from the congregation??

Ultimate Compound is a consumer derivative of the professional detailers line.... M105 - with more polishing oils in it for longer working time, significantly less dusting, and increased ease of use. I would say Ultimate Compound's cutting ability is between 8-10, whereas M105 ranks 12 on the...

MY mistake here... serves me right for posting too early i guess... :laughing: What I wrote was a paraphrased excerpt from a MUCH larger article integrating many aspects of paint polishing, so i failed to provide some context.... Edging is most definitely a necessary part of buffing. In...

I wanted to post on a topic that is part of a much longer article i am writing because i feel it is an important paint polishing variable that is seldom discussed. I believe this variable can make anyone more efficient and can increase their average results across the board if optimally...

NO need to excusing anything. Its SMART to ask questions. I applaud you for it. Embedded metal particles can come from anything in the air, including chemicals. But more than anything they are encountered from ferrous metial particles from brake dust on the road. Its not that the surface will...

Well, i was gonna post but how do you follow this guy ^^^^ ? lol However, i will say M101 for nearly anything that requires hand rubbing is the business!

As bob said i would go traditional clay. SOFT. However, beforehand i would use an iron decontaminant such as Iron X to remove off the metal from the paint's pores.

I literally just went through this process.. see my avadar [arnold voice]. I would make recommendations similar to others. Lose the shadows, have the designer output the file to PNG.. it will be fully scalable and the image quality will not be compromised

cool deal! thanks all... I figured the techniques and such that served me well could most definitely come in handy for others... there are a lot of insightful and informative posts here, all one has to do is sort through them effectively to get paid off.... Im glad its useful :)

This isnt the case at all, which im sure KB will agree. And this was never the intent of him posting. Marco is a smart man. Kevin is simply stating his opinions here based on a lifetime of buffing, teaching, researching technologies, testing, and dissecting the variables involved with the...

Since this forum is all about helping and encouraging other members within it; I just wanted to give a quick insight that might be helpful so anyone (even a first time forum poster) can ask a car care question that can be accurately and quickly answered by either a detailer or enthusiast. There...
