There was a recent post about ONR not playing well with 845. I've not experienced it, nor have I had any problems with using optimum spray wax and 845.

That's a super looking car.

Very interesting. I'd be interested in why this is. I've got 845 / opti-seal combo on my truck and it seems fine with ONR. I think I might go out to the garage later (when I'm much less hung over) and add a little ONR to some 845 & see what happens!

Try folex. That stuff is pretty amazing. Sent from my GT-I9100M using Tapatalk 2

What applicator did you use to apply? Just wondering how you kept excess off the surrounding paint? Did you try it on any ' soft' plastic or rubber? Sent from my GT-I9100M using Tapatalk 2

As a newbie, I am not one to be giving advise, but if you want to easily remove those swirls, get yourself a DA polisher, and learn how to use it properly. Like you, I own a black vehicle, and tried correction by hand with no luck. Getting a DA was the best car care investment I've made.....on...

Mine is the same way. I often feel that 5 isn't quite enough, but 6 is too much. 5.5 would be nice. Sent from my GT-I9100M using Tapatalk 2

Yeah, I love that stuff. I have a serious hatred for chrome, so plastidip is my friend. Sent from my GT-I9100M using Tapatalk 2

plastidip? Easy, and u can add glossifier if you like. If it doesn't work out just peel it off.

Awesome job. How do you like the bissell? Sent from my GT-I9100M using Tapatalk 2

I also feel your pain. My black truck is parked in an industrial area all day so dust buildup is brutal. Like others here, even when I find my truck looking dirty, my co workers still tease me about how clean it is. Sent from my GT-I9100M using Tapatalk 2

I'm no pro but odorless mineral spirits will take care of it with ease. I suggest a small test spot first. Sent from my GT-I9100M using Tapatalk 2

I presoak with QD strength or just fill a bottle right from my wash bucket if I don't have any QD mixed up. Both work great.

Nothing infuriates me more than garbage put on my truck. That and people leaving coffee cups in my box which proceed to blow out on the highway and smash the vehicle behind me. I say you'd be better off with a craigslist ad, and community bulletin boards. Sent from my GT-I9100M using Tapatalk 2

Ha, thanks! I am a noob, but I spent countless hours researching products before I ordered anything, and countless more researching techniques, watching video etc before I even turned my buffer on. I also had some advise from professionals (B&B) who have worked these trucks before. I used my...

Thanks guys, I'm using pc7424xp with 5.5" lake country CCS pads. Yes, owning a black truck is pure punishment. I went from an old white beater frontier, to a brand new black one. I go much slower in the woods now! B&B - Thanks for helping me out with advise! I took about 50 pics to get a...

Hey all, Started detailing my 2011 Nissan Frontier a while back. It's my first 'real' polishing experience with a machine, and the learning curve has been steep. I posted a few pics in a thread I created a while ago, but thought I'd share my progress. This is the turck. It's pretty awesome...

I'm no expert by any stretch, but I've been working my truck and have been putting OS on top of collite 845. Seems fine to me. I based my decision on a thread on the optimum forum. If you go there and search 'collinite' you'll see a thread titled "Drying time between OS and applying OCW"...

I use two buckets without dolly and get angry dragging the buckets around my truck while washing. I'll be getting dolly soon. Sent from my GT-I9100M using Tapatalk 2

Crap, I just ordered the old version yesterday.
