Darren Priest of Auto Fetish Detail has a great video on dressing large knobby tires. ITs on YouTube, I would post the link but I don't want to violate any forum rules.

I know this sounds like a harsh way to do it but this has worked for me. I detail several pickup trucks which tend to get much dirtier do to their nature and the larger tires the owners have on them and one owner lives down a dirt road but still likes his truck to be cleaned and taken care of...

I greatly appreciate the input guys. I did figure out that the defects that I were referring to as holograms where actually micro marring very close together and at a high frequency such as to give a white appearance that flashes sort of like a hologram. In addition there where some deeper...

Using brand new micro fiber towels. I have some from the departments stores and some that are very good quality I have ordered. I used the high quality ones on this job.

I was able to get the person to come over today and I shot a few pictures in the sun. You can see in the pictures those white looking traces is what I'm up against. I did take some IPA diluted down and wiped the surface several times but the tracks if you will are still there. I tried again...

AGO, What I mean is that some vehicle makes and models have soft paints and some have hard paints. When the person that painted the sections got paint they could have used a softer clear coat instead of a harder one or they could have just used some clear coat they had laying around that was not...

I will try to get some pictures. What is an example of a medium polish? Would Meguiar's fine-cut, or medium/cut cleaner work? I did try m105 on a soft polishing pad with no luck. I actually did try m205 on the cutting disc with better results but the appears to be deeper scratches don't budge...

Tried the rotary, made it worse. I have been able to remove a majority of the defects from the panel with some spot hand applications of M105 and several aggressive passes with M205. (Aggressive meaning very slow passes with firm pressure on the head of the DA machine, I know 205 isn't really...

I've been working on a vehicle for a customer dark blue in color. The owner wanted a few scratches removed and a compound and polish to remove other fine defects. After a few test runs I decided to go with my DA polisher equipped with a Meguiar's DA Microfiber Extra Cut Disc and M105 followed by...

Thank You all for the continued input. I have learned so much from this thread already! Car daddy isn't M100 pretty much the same thing as the M101? The reason I ask is because I typically order from Amazon and the M101 is only available in one size at about $50. The M100 is available in the...

Thanks Mike! I was actually just looking at the Microfiber DA Pads from Meg's on Amazon. I think I am going to order some and an Xtra Cut pad just to keep around in case it's needed. I think I will try the Microfiber correction system seems to be most effective with the DA and more stubborn jobs.

Also put and thread on the show and shine section about my most recent tractor project. Thanks

Been working on my Dad's 59' Massey. Did a functional restoration on her. Had all tins sandblasted, did quite a bit of body work, sealed and prepped for paint with a 2K high build primer and shot with the original Massey Red in a single stage high gloss enamel. Wet sanded and polished with 3M...

Thanks for the reply guys. I should have given more information in the original post. I tend to like Meguiar's products because they are relatively cost effective and perform well for what you pay for. I currently have a DA and Rotary that I purchased from Harbor Freight years ago and have been...

Hello All, I am new to this forum and am pleased to be a part of it. I know some of the information included in this post is more appropriate for the introduction forum but I wanted to make sure everyone giving input has the background information necessary to inform their decisions. So here we...
