Thanks guys :) Ill try 'ground' the car, see if that helps at all, and maybe just have to carefully wipe down the panel(s) with some QD.

Hey Guys, So it looks like 'Flat Pads' aren't really available here in Aus :/. Closest being either cyan, Tangerin & Crimsons Hydro-tech pads. Alternatively there's the HD Pads too Pads ... has anyone used? How would they compare to LC ?

Thanks guys :). Ill give it another shot, adding more polish and upping the speed. Reason I only have 2 was low on cash and im a weekend warrior with no other income, so only grabbed the 2x when they were on special. Ill keep an eye out, maybe grab another 2x orange and 2x white :) Regarding...

Thanks Desertnate :), so just wipe off excess residue like normal, then proceed with POXY ? Thanks custmsprty :). You don't have any issues running at 5-6 speed ? I'm rather hesitant as it feels fast and don't want to burn through the paint (like I did with wetsanding :/ ) I only have 2x...

Thanks guys :). dcjredline: Not rejecting the advice, just saying what I heard others say, that's it's performance was considered 'less' than other polishes in the price range, especially @ $36, just want to make sure before I jump in. Paul A.: I started out priming the pad with product, then...

Hey fightnews, I heard many people say Megs Ult Pol isn't all that great... thoughts? Also, 'priming' the pad... does it have to be with the product? A read many people spray a lil' QD or water onto the pad to prime, which I like, as I feel as though priming with product, seems like a waste ...

Hi guys, So I've been detailing my own car, first time detailing, it's a HONDA CRV Nighthawkblack. I've run over the car with Megs UC + Orange LC pad, see to go well, bit of dusting, bit of sticky residue, but learning to manage them, but having trouble using HD POLISH. The DA Polisher I'm...

Awesome, thanks Mike :), will have a read.

Thanks guys. Forgot to mention, I'm in Australia, so not much pollen here at the moment (being Autumn / fall), but get quite cold, as we're heading into Winter. I'll try a grounding method, but wouldn't I be grounded already ? Thanks :)

Hi guys, I'm detailing my car (outside) but I'm having trouble with dust, both from the polish and outside dust (mostly polish I think), getting stuck on the car as I'm working. I'm getting better at managing the dusting, cleaning more frequent, and not working it as hard, but seems to be a...

Thanks guys :), I had a look, but haven't found anyone that stocks/sells McKees products here in Australia :/. I'll have to have another look tomorrow I think. Thanks Jones, Ill have to check out the Megs range. :) On the subject of ONR, as it would remove heavier dirt build up... wouldn't...

Thanks guys :) Thanks VISITOR, Ill look into those two you linked :) Thanks Opti, so you recon Opti-clean is the way to go if I wanted to give the car/panels a quick wipe down ? What's the main difference between a specific QD and using a 'waterless' or 'no-rinse' option ? Thanks :)

Hi guys, My car sits outside, so it's often exposed to the dust, dirt, rain, poop etc.. Hoping to get some recommendations on an inexpensive, budget oriented, weekend warrior - Quick Detailer / Waterless wash, maybe something with the ability to remove water spots too, just so I can spray on...

Great write up!, quick question, sorry if I missed it, can Spray Detailers, like Mothers Showtime, be used to remove compound residue ? or is it likely to act as a filler in some regard, causing defects to 'disappear' thus hiding them from being corrected ?

Hey Eldorado, nah i didn't, completely forgot. When I get a chance, I'll do a test spot, see how it goes :)

Thanks bbattle :). What class would Hydrochloric Acid fall under? Only reason I used it as it was a recommendation to use as an Acid based cleaner by a couple of details, same with the oven cleaner. I had a look online but had trouble finding strong acid cleaners that could be used on wheels...

I haven't. I thought about it though but wasn't sure how the alloy would handle the wool. I'll pick some up tomorrow and give it a shot, thanks :) I have some "Melamine" sponges here, never used them though. Ill have to give them a try, see how they go. Just curious, what is the black stuff...

Hey guys, 1st time cleaning wheels and am having trouble getting the remaining 'black substance' off the backside/inside of the wheel section. They're off a 2004 HONDA CRV. The inside.. I don't think is clear coated.. at least it doesn't feel like it. There's a groove type pattern going...

Thanks conman :) Unfortunately we don't have a HF here in Australia :( .. though looking at that DA, looks similar to this one, Rockwell ShopSeries Car Polisher - Multi-Function, 180mm, 600 Watt - Supercheap Auto Australia regarding clay.. for a car that doesn't appear to have been detailed...

Hi guys, So... I posted some time ago regarding tips on detailing the interior of my CRV, so thought it was time to look into options on the exterior paint. Unfortunately, it is Honda black.. not my first choice of colours, but it turned out that way :/ .. anyways, I understand this paint...
