    first attempt at detail... did NOT go well

    I added some good sized drops to it to prime, sprayed with detail spray, also cleaned with brush after each section to re fluff the microfiber.

    first attempt at detail... did NOT go well

    It's a 2014 nissan rogue, black, just the small typical new car swirl marks that the dealer has kindly installed. Paint is good, only 3500 miles on the car.

    Possible Spring 2014 Chicagoland Detail Day?

    And how high or I guess low is the risk of damage to the paint or clear? You hear people using all sorts of concentrations from straight out of the bottle to as low as 11 or 12% IPA. Do all concentrations work as well, can one accomplish and get the same results with a pure 70% IPA as you...

    Possible Spring 2014 Chicagoland Detail Day?
