Bump to see if there are any other recommendations on process to rid my car of the horrible scratches that are present. I like megs products, but I'm curious about Menzerna as well as Pinnacle. Why are there so many stinking products??? I definitely plan to purchase a surbuf pad. I'm...

Well this is going to sound geeky (good thing I'm in the right place) but I am excited to wash/detail the new car myself. Even if they got a 'professional' to do it, I've seen too many cars with swirls on them whether it be Lotus, BMW, MB or KIA from dealerships. It was said best when the...

Thanks Mike! I'm much better today after. 'few' hours of sleep. When my wife woke up and saw I wasn't in bed she thought to herself, is he out washing that car already? I meant to call the dealer yesterday and tell them to not clean it for delivery. I've had other vehicles cleaned there when in...

I like the way you think. It's unfortunate, but a lot o people don't care or notice what happens to auto paint. With poor washin techniques. I will notify the dealer and depending on my results will determine whether or not we discuss professional route. I did the fingernail test and there are...

Here's a couple shots. They were both taken in the same area on the hood. The whole care is not quite this bad but there are some definite lines and such down the side where they obviously used a brush. It seems some more aggressive hand polishing with the Maguires Scratch X has reduced them...

So I picked up my new car tonight, a Nissan Maxima in Crimson Black. Once I got it home under the flourescent lights in my garage, I was horrified to notice what I would consider pretty severe scratches in the paint. These are beyond swirl marks. I ran over one of the areas with Scratch X...

I second the pinnacle stuff. I use them exclusively for the paint pretty much. The car wash, quick detailer (QD), soon to use the spray carnuba for those washes in between waxing, and Souveran II. I also put the wolfgang 3.0 sealant on my paint as well which if combined w/ the Souveran...

I'm not sure how to exactly determine hard water but here's the question. I have pinnacle's car wash and megs gold class car wash. The megs is way sudsier than pinnacle in my experience. I read folks saying the pinnacle is really sudsy for them which makes me wonder. It says 1/2 an oz per...

As with everything, it sells at the price the market will bear. With the additional processes needed to refine it there is also added cost. I'm not an economist nerd (sorry if that offends anyone) but, it is what it is. Why does a glass of tea cost $2.50 in most restaurants when $2.50...

Nice work. What equipment do you use?

"I love Autogeek.net"

Definately a good call. I will run a little test and see, although my cord should be sufficient. I don't recall right off what the gauge is. As evidenced by the still present but diminished swirls. I used a pad that was a step more agressive than a finishing pad so that didn't do much...

1. I have washed and dried tonight so all should be good in the morning. My ride is a 2008 White Nissan Titan. 2. I will be using the Pinnacle Series II kit which I plan to use the Paintwork cleansing lotion first, then the Wolfgang 3.0 sealant and then top with Pinnacle Series II. The deal...

I wear Maui Jim's. I had a pair of revo's and b/c they used a glass lens in that pair the optical clarity was better than the plastic lens in my Maui's. That being said, I get better definition with the Maui's. I don't remember all the different lens colors (the tint of the lens, not the...

Does that read: Lead foot? Prelude: :welcome: Have one on me: :cheers:

I'm curious how much time it takes to get the contrasting stripes on the carpet. I assume you simply alternate the direction you pull the vacuum across the carpet?

WOW!!!!! Before clay and after clay is a HUGE difference. You = :buffing:

Fine looking car...too bad it aint a stick. Great job on the detail really looks amazing.

Well, I have received some goodies the past couple days that I will be using. I'm off for a week and plan to detail mine and the wifes vehicles. Hers will take a little more time since it's older and needs some TLC. Here's a pic of my new goods. I also received a couple grit guards (stepping...

If only we could get our significant others to understand this. :D Welcome.
