I am set to detail a 1970 Opel this weekend. I saw it the other day, it has been repainted and the paint seems to be in good condition. It is covered in dust and has been a little neglected recently but overall, pretty well cared for. The interior is white leather I believe, but that is...

Thanks Mike! I actually read this the other day. After I did this last one, it did leave me wondering. Every time I've used the machine to do the work, the product has dried up by the time I make my circle back around the tire. I wondered if I was actually hindering my progress by just massaging...

So, I am looking for some input on tire cleaning. For the most part, I have been successful spraying some 4:1 APC on the tires, letting it soak for about a minute, then hitting it with an aqua carpet brush on my GG polisher. After this, I follow-up with some APC on a towel and wipe, then I spray...

I'd like to get my feet wet in the product testing. I own a detailing business and have excellent writing skills. I've written reviews before, just not for this product line. Give me a shot please! Thanks!

So wanted to update everyone on my dilemma. I did a Charger last night where the paint was completely trashed. Started with a waterless wash, then re-coated with the wash for claying. I did a coat of compound and a coat of 151. I sprayed the dustings off after each coat with my compressor. The...

Yeah, I would never mix 10 to 1 the other way.

The only thing I can think of is the detail spray/waterless wash that I use sometimes beforehand. Obviously I don't spray the windows with it and avoid them, but there is a good chance some of that mists down onto the glass. I'll spray some on the window and see if I get the same result, if so...

Not looking to bead water or anything, I just want to figure out why they are getting so sticky and filmy. My dad's windshield was a solid sheet of water to the point where it was dangerous. Yes. I dumped it today and refilled it with 10 to 1. Same thing. The cloth is barely moving on the glass...

10:1 I believe. Not using distilled water.

I have been using D120 diluted at the listed amount for a while now. I was talking to one of my old customer today and he mentioned that after I did his car, there was a sticky film on the windshield that was very difficult to remove. I also spoke with my parents the other day and they mentioned...

I am, I said that was my plan! I was just trying to clear up the confusion on the M21 issue, which I think I have. I'll post the results as soon as I can sneak away and do it.

That's my plan. I should clarify, that isn't a picture of my car. That was the closest picture I could find that was similar to mine. Mine are swirls for sure, just very minor.

So guessing that when they say "Visually eliminate" that is code for glazing over and covering those defects like an M7? In reading on their polishes like 205 they state "Permanently eliminate" so guessing that is what I misinterpreted. Seemed odd to me as well but I was like, hey, I'll take...

I have a bottle of M20 that I use from time to time. I picked up the M21 based on the information given my Meguiar's: "Visually eliminates fine scratches and swirls, creating a flawless finish." This would indicate to me that it does have cutting ability. The M20 didn't have this and from what I...

This is about what I am working with, or as close as I can show. You can see the very minor swirls that are spaced apart about an inch as they go outward. That's what I working against. So I am guessing from what I am hearing that I need to keep with the 205 and that the 21 wouldn't be able to...

Like I said, my question was more about using the M21 to knock out the very fine remaining scratches. I can't find any good pictures (guessing because they are hard to find) but I felt like mine could be removed with a very fine polish. The swirls/scratches on that Dodge I did were much worse...

Alright, I'll hit it in the next couple of days and see what happens. The problem I have always had with running the GG at anything more than a 4.5, is that the LC pads are squishy and completely flat in a matter of seconds. I can take a brand new pad and run it at 6 for 1/2 a hood and by the...

I would use my car as the most recent example. It has black metallic paint and about a medium CC hardness. It didn't require compound, so I hit it with a pink pad and the 205. There were some very fine scratches/swirls left and pretty much only visible in the beaming sun, so I figured I would...

Can M21 be used as a ultra fine polish? As far as I knew, it had minor abrasives and could be used as a LSP to remove very fine swirls/love marks. I typically use M105 and 205 (as needed) and am looking for something to remove the last traces of the very fine swirls and scratches. Wondering if I...
