    Is this how Megs #16 should look like?

    That company has been making waxes since BC. (Just kidding) What you see is the way in which it is dispensed as a liquid and perhaps cooled. There products are also very good. They stay up on their game. Meaning they do their research. Their name synonymous with that of the automobile. Although...

    The product is fine. Dont contaminate it with grit. or leave the cap off while not using the wax. All the best. "Paintxpert" Shine Since 1969.

    Beginners help.

    You need to put a real rotary in your hand so that we dont see you at Easter. Sorry....I dont mean to be a smart a--. But I have said it over a million times paint correction is SLOW with a DA. Me being thick about instant gratification, I have to see progress or the tool goes against the cement...

    IS THE Wolfgang Füzion Estate Wax Connoisseur’s Kit WORTH THE MONEY?

    :dblthumb2:Wolfgang products are ALSO SUPERIOR products in todays detail market. The product almost never CLOUDS and if it does a DAMP terry cloth or you favorite micro takes care of it. It almost never builds up on any of my pads. I use wool when wet sanding, wolfgang correction steps are WELL...

    IS THE Wolfgang Füzion Estate Wax Connoisseur’s Kit WORTH THE MONEY?

    I am sure the high-end stuff is great! But I draw a line on sealers and waxes. My cars DONT normally see the weather. My business car is the only one that sees rain only when really needed. If you want paint depth the need to polish rotary style will be of UTMOST importance. To ME that is how...

    IS THE Wolfgang Füzion Estate Wax Connoisseur’s Kit WORTH THE MONEY?

    I use the Wolgang sealer and put the wax they recommend over that I think it is the pos2 something or other. I think it was VERY affordable. I am not a real high end drop my frugalities for high end wax in this dismal economy. Folks are starving. The wax they recommend here WORKED GREAT for me...

    Flat Black hood paint

    That Mach one has not seen the abuse the white one has. You can mask it until the sun bleaches it again. Repaint or mask it, those are the choices.

    Flat Black hood paint

    Twenty eight years old. Ford did not use the best paint on these. Coupled with the fact that it is FLAT further complicates matters. I would say NOT CORRECTABLE using compounds. You will only temporarily mask it. Sell it "as is" without being too sarcastic. People expect to work on a 28 year old...

    Ever had this happen?

    Hi-Looks like you may have gotten it too hot. You must have been pushing REAL hard on that DA. Left it on the velcro too long. I take the pads off from time to time for cleaning. Looks like that is an orbital and I dont own one. That is one of the major differeces in them. Can you believe I...

    How do i get rid of this scuff

    My way is the way to do it WITHOUT BUYING anything. You see you dont survive by buying something every time you have a SMALL problem. That seat rub is a VERY SMALL issue that can be corrected in no time at all. Remember, if it is plastic to redress with your favorite interior dressing. Every...

    How do i get rid of this scuff

    Light Comet on a damp to moist white rag.....I mean very light. Rub in the direction of the scuff. Use a bit of interior cleaner if needed. Rub till the scuff is gone. Dont rub till the color comes off!!! This is another fix that takes knowledge experience and feel for the surface. Some of these...

    Not completely swirl free

    over polishing with wrong technique is a potential danger. Not having a good feel for what is on the paint surface and how to correct it is clearly guessing. I cant help because I dont know the products or the polisher you using. Sounds like your in good hands with this forum though. Best of...

    Not completely swirl free

    Hard to give advice without seeing it. User may not have the right technique in general. Orbital polisher or angle polisher? This is where a circular polisher and the ability to use one comes in handy for correction. Remember the vehicle is SIX years old. Depends how it was treated in its first...

    How to fix a deliberate deep key scratch

    This technique can work on the car you bring to the supermarket. But I would call the insurance company about that one. It is time for paint. That could break an owners heart. Clearly the Devil at his best. The repair was quite impressive to say the least. Largely, detailing and polishing are...

    Wax for white car

    Why not seal it with Wolgang? Dont wax or seal before prepping with some type of cleaner.

    Do I need to tape?

    You should NOT be slinging product at all. If your slinging product get it OFF ASAP! Use a damp soft cloth.

    Do I need to tape?

    I NEVER use tape.....just dont polish those areas. DONT use a lot of product to avoid slinging. What do you do if you should pull a piece of paint off during tape removal. I do MILLION DOLLAR CARS!!!! No Tape. The owners would freak if I put TAPE on their cars. The towels or blankets for...
