get the porter cable but dont buy a kit... just buy what you need

just inspect the paint. this car, fortunately, was not detailed on the lot so i didnt have to do any polishing, the paint was in great shape. if the car is a light colored car i doubt youll need to do anything, you mostly see dealer mistakes on black (or dark), non metallic paint. one thing...

my only issue is that the dealer drives like 5 or more screws into the front bumper to hold the license plate on... come on!!!!

Bronze Kia Optima Four Star UPP sealant AG HD wax Tires dressed with Adams VRT UTTG Wheels waxed with Col. 845 Windows treated with poli shield (not sure if i like this product or not) This is a great car for the price... $20k with a 100k mile warranty, and it actually LOOKS like a nice car

what about cg ez? or something acrylic?

What is your experience with using a filler glaze to hide swirls? Best product for this?

hes been my best friend since i was 3 years old and now im 25 so i want to do something nice

So my best friend is getting married and I am the best man. I need some good gift ideas. Looking to spend anywhere from a couple hundred up to a grand.

if you have a high quality carnauba then id say put that on top of it but as far as collinite id say not needed

yeah dont use it with orange, orange is for fixing minor blemishes with an abrasive product

eh

its hard to get them to look great with the basic metal look, especially without disassembling them. if youre going to take the time to do that though, then you might as well paint them. dont just use any old high temp spray paint though, look for ceramic paint designed for caliper use or else...

to me it makes more sense to buy a wet/dry vac with 5 or 6 hp and the blower capability rather than have a separate machine for each.... craftsman actually makes some great ones

no stay with the orange pad... ultimate compound has a longer working time. and dont be afraid to apply a little pressure when using the compound. dont crush the car but put a little pressure on the polisher so you can hear the vibrations slow just a bit. and make sure your passes arent too...

im thinking its comparable to fuzion and it looks amazing on white cars! i use it on any light colored cars

which pad did you use with the ultimate compound?

what size?

its definitely not as spreadable as a liquid wax, takes some more time, but the results are definitely worth it. remember to let it set before buffing off too! thats an important step!

you do not need to clay the car again. i would, however, wash it using a little bit of dawn soap or apc added to your soap bucket. remember to do small sections, overlapping passes and take your time with a little pressure when using the compound. what type of pads and what size pads are you...

oh yeah and make sure you dampen the pad and keep it in the air tight bag with as little air as possible when youre storing it
