    Should I clay or polish instead?

    As far as getting a PC or a DA this is my fear! Do you have any clay techniques you can share with me? Like am I using a piece of clay for each panel? I know I am supposed to work a 2'x2' area at a time (I think).Do I go vertically, horizontally or crosshatch? I'm like a sponge just absorbing...

    Should I clay or polish instead?

    I just thought it was simply a wax not a dedicated purpose sealant like Wolfgang DG or Meg's #21 like Bob suggested. Does it make any sense to use Ultimate Wax instead of Meg's #21 or any other synthetic sealant?

    Should I clay or polish instead?

    I know I should've bought one before but I was scared as #### that I'd screw up my paint, there are so many combinations of pads and products I didn't know where to start.

    Should I clay or polish instead?

    Yeah you're right it probably does have a bunch of stuff I can't see since I don't have a dedicated light. For now though, I guess I'll be polishing by hand. I'll be buying a PC or Megs DA around the holidays maybe I'll hint at it and get my girl to get it for me as a gift!

    Should I clay or polish instead?

    I'll keep that in mind. One of my neighbors has an 08' Accord coupe that was last cleaned when it was prepped at the dealer before selling. It's awful.

    Should I clay or polish instead?

    I do everything by hand. I have been extremely meticulous with my car which is Palladium Silver so I love it when it pops. The products I've been using over the past 7 months were found here: Pinnacle Body work Shampoo with 2 MF mitts (1 for top 1 for lower half) followed by Megs Ultimate...

    Should I clay or polish instead?

    I haven't clayed my paint before so I am very wary, I've only used the clay on wheels, chrome trim, and exhaust tips. My idea is to start with my windshield, do all the glass, then move on to the paint. So I haven't really made a technique per-se, I'll be youtubing videos to learn more. I mean...

    Should I clay or polish instead?

    Bob, I appreciate the reply. Would claying display more swirls that were previously hidden? I don't have access to a dedicated swirl finder light but using a high output LED flashlight I could only find that single scratch I mentioned earlier and one single etching on the trunk lid that I almost...

    Should I clay or polish instead?

    So Iron X or similar instead of claying or polishing followed by SPNS?

    Should I clay or polish instead?

    Hey guys I have a 2014 C class that I've had for 7 months, only hand washed using the 3 bucket method (2 rinse buckets) since I got it. I was all set to buy some sealant and clay my car (using GG Speed Shine as lubricant) when I read that claying will induce marring in the paint :doh: I would...

    Can I seal my car without a garage

    I bought a car cover but have never used it because I read that the friction of the cover causes marring in the paint. But it can't be any worse than leaving it exposed to the winter elements.

    Can I seal my car without a garage

    I'll definitely look into this, yeah I assumed waterless wouldn't be enough. I don't drive my car during the week just on weekends so it is sitting in my driveway collecting soot all week, that mixed with the morning due leaves my car rather dirty by the time the weekend comes. Do you recommend...

    Can I seal my car without a garage

    I want to seal my car before the winter officially gets here in the North East but I have a dilemma I don't have a garage (only a driveway) and I live near an expressway. Even overnight my car will have a light layer of dirt from the highway. I fear that during the 10-12 hour required to cure...
