    Detailing a new car???

    I just did a search and couldnt really find what I'm looking for. I have a 2011 White GTI and all I've done is wash and wax it. I've been nervous to do any sort of correction, but feel as though I want/need to. My concern is messing with the clear coat. My paint has some minor swirl marks, a...

    Facebook Stock

    Nope. I agree with you completely. I also mess around in the stock market but wouldn't be caught dead touching Facebook. There's no value in a social networking site

    Any favorite products for white paint

    If you're doing it by hand, I bought Dodo Juice Light fantastic and its great. I ended up buying a PC 7424 after I bought the Light fantastic and now typically just stick with Collinite 845, although I might take the time and hand wax my baby now that the weather has warmed up. Wish you could...

    UGG...Curbed my GTI wheel please help

    The problem is that my wheels are machined. If I polished one wheel then I'm going to need to do all 4. I think it might look good, but I want to keep this as easy as possible. Is there an easy way to give it a machined look? I'm only trying to do the 8" by 2" section that is now polished.

    UGG...Curbed my GTI wheel please help

    Here's where I'm at now. I used a 120, 320, 1000 then 2000 grit sand paper. I then used Mothers aluminum polish. Oddly enough now the repaired section looks like a mirror and better then the rest. I'm not complaining since I only have about $20 bucks invested. Not sure what to do now.

    UGG...Curbed my GTI wheel please help

    for some reason I cant blow the pictures up to make it any more clear. Basically I taped it off and sanded it down with 120 then 220 sand paper with my pc 7424 (as seen in second picture). The surface is very smooth but now it doesn't have the mirror type finish, although it does look better...

    ONR vs. UWW+

    Thanks for the info. I didnt realize that there was different dilution rations for a uww+ qd or the waterless wash. I wish thinking about doing the uww+ as a waterless wash out of a garden pump sprayer. I would also mix up a small bottle for a qd in case of bird droppings. Does that make...

    ONR vs. UWW+

    I think it just finally clicked, anyway you look at it, you don't rinse either qd, waterless or rinseless. My only question is...so is using it as a QD or waterless wash basically the same thing?

    ONR vs. UWW+

    I'm not sure why I just dont get this. Probably because the thought of both still freaks me out altough I hear great things. Is this correct....UWW+ can be mixed as a qd and just sprayed and wiped. or It can be mixed in a garden pump sprayer and used the same as above but in a one or two...

    ONR vs. UWW+

    Thanks for the response. I guess i'm just confussed with what the difference is between a waterless and no rinse wash

    ONR vs. UWW+

    I swore I saw a thread like this, but I can't find it anywhere and have a few questions. Right now I have UWW+ and simply have a mixture that I've used more as a quick detailer 1. Are these products the same principal? If they are different, what's the differences and which one would you...

    Simple ONR Wash

    Can you use UWW in the same manner? I just bought some and I'm still nervous. I do have a 2 gallon pump sprayer and buckets

    Should I get the Daytona Regular or Mini?

    I have both and use the large 90% of the time, but the small does come in useful for the tideous stuff

    Favorite Chemical Guys Product(s)?

    I'm so confused. Here's the cut and paste from the citrus wash clear and also gloss. The clear appears to be the one that says safe for waxes so I feel like this could be my weekly wash in between waxes, and the gloss says that it leaves the paint ready for wax. What am I missing? Which one...

    Favorite Chemical Guys Product(s)?

    Ive been looking at both products and I think this is backwards. Wash and gloss is the one that strips the wax and clear is then one that is wax safe

    Does snow and freezing temps harm your paint?

    Totally agree with some sort of car port for one of the cars. Cheap enough but will certainly help
