    Tracers taunt me

    In a way, I've experienced this issue. Clean towels, new towels, constant flipping and changing out. Only my issue is after polishing. No matter what, ONR, QD, other lubricant, I see these swipe marks. Exactly like your OP, it's supposed to DE-stress not STRESS!

    M205 question

    It's not ridiculous at all but yes, I have clayed and chemically decontaminated as thorough as possible. This happens to be my personal vehicle but I do this for a living as well. I've seen it a few times on other cars but they were all black cars with soft cc. My car is a dark blue metallic...

    M205 question

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I thought at first I was not working the product long enough. Then too much. Still same result. I would post a picture but it's hard for me to even see the marrings in person. It may doing stupid but it's the fact that I know they're there and when I look at one...

    M205 question

    I've given up for the time being. No matter what I try, ONR soaked towels, clean towels, different pads, nothing. All I get is marring. And I am sure it's the towels in drying with which means I can't dry off or wipe off anything. Sooooo frustrated

    M205 question

    No I've taken care of it since it was brand new. The paint is nearly 99% perfect with just these marrings that are visible. I'm guessing it could be my towels so I ordered some fresh ones but I also use the IPA wipedown and it feels so grabby that I wonder if it's almost "anti lubricating" and...

    M205 question

    I've been using m205 for quite a while on all different paints. My personal vehicle is a 2013 Jetta in a dark metallic blue. I have about 95% correction as of now. There's a few RIDS and chips but I can deal with that. It's when I was cleaning up from this brutal northeast winter, all of the...

    washing cars at a dealership

    I've learned everything I know from this site and practicing the way things are done generally by the forum members. I can do a 3 step correction on most any car I come across. I also work at a detail shop that does a bunch of the major dealerships in the area. It's very thorough but it's not...

    Sold on Collinite 845

    Wny here as well and it's definitely been one heck of a winter but my 845 is still sheeting strong at the pay and spray You only left it for 30 SECONDS before removing? I thought most leave it for 30 MINUTES?

    Polish fully broken down before wipe off

    This may sound stupid and noobish but I've had a recurring issue that I've seemed to remedy: When I've used m205 on a white CCS pad as more of a one step clean up, I would prime, then add 4 dime sized drops and do about a 3x3 section. Working the product 5-6 passes each way, I would go to wipe...

    any vapers on board?

    I've heard of virgin vapors. Not sure if it's the same as Virgin Vapes because in this industry, something as simple as "vape" vs "vapor" could make a huge difference. If, in fact, it is the one I'm thinking, they have premium juices. Three of my personal favorites are Epic Juice, Standard...

    Advice regarding paint correction on VW GTI?

    I have a MKVI Jetta as a DD and the clear is definitely hard. I did a full correction in the fall, well I'd say 90-95% correction, and I used a PC7424xp with CCS orange/uber compound and easily could've stopped there as a one step. Instead, I refined with a white ccs/M205 combo and it came out...

    Advice for a startup

    I am not nearly on the level of some of the guys here, I really just do family/friends and their family/friends. I've heard that contracts through dealers and rental places are no good usually because of the pay. If you have a shop, theoretically you could in the winter but, since I see...
