    Questions on various LSPs beading and sheeting?

    Sounds like you need rotors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Shelby GT500 w glossy blue vinyl stripes

    I'll bet it's a blast to drive. I have a bottle of this but haven't tried it yet. Glad to hear that it's a good product.

    Nice car! I so want one of those. My 09 Bullitt will have to do for now.

    Better smelling interior products...

    I've been using Poor Boys World Natural Look Dressing. It smells great but it's a bit too shiny for my liking.

    Did I buy the right grout sponge to use with ONR?

    The ones I bought don't have a rough side but I apparently got the wrong ones. I'll take 'em back tomorrow and get the smaller ones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Did I buy the right grout sponge to use with ONR?

    I've seen various posts about the Proline Grout Sponge available at Lowes so I while I was there I figured I'd buy a couple. There were two different kinds made by proline. One was smaller and cheaper and the other larger but more dense and $2.98. I opted for the more expensive one and but...

    Success at last - 2009 Mustang Bullitt

    We finally got a sunny day in South Western PA so I pulled my car out to check for swirls and marring. For those of you that didn't read my other thread, this was my first experience with a PC XP and I had a heck of a time getting the paint to what you see below. I had initially started...

    Why doesn't everyone use Opti Coat?

    I already have a container of it. It goes on and comes off fairly easy but doesn't seem to add anything in the way of shine or depth. I tried using only Blacklight and V7 on one panel and couldn't tell the difference between it and the other panels that I layered with both plus Lava. To be...

    I'm baffled - still have swirls after hours of work

    Thanks for the tip, I will do just that. The Hyundai is white and the paint is pretty beat so if I really mess up it won't matter. Yeah, the work isn't easy and it can be very time consuming for a new guy like me.

    Why doesn't everyone use Opti Coat?

    All interesting replies. I just finished up my car and it looks great but I started thinking that it could stay that way much longer if I'd have used Opti Coat. The paint on my car is really soft and that extra layer of protection would be nice to have. Maybe after I've exhausted my...

    I'm baffled - still have swirls after hours of work

    Thank you! From now on, no cheap MF towels and after I wash I'm going to use my Metro Vac n Blo to dry it along with some very soft MF towels. Next up is my wife's 2005 Hyundai. That's going to be my practice car for both interior and exterior. It's beat up pretty bad.

    Why doesn't everyone use Opti Coat?

    I've been reading up a bit on Opti Coat and it seems to me that this would be the ideal way to preserve a car's finish on a long term basis. So my question is, why wouldn't everyone apply this to their own vehicle if it works as advertised (and it seems to do just that)? I'm kicking...

    I'm baffled - still have swirls after hours of work

    I finally finished up the paint portion of my detail. I wasn't able to get any outdoor shots, it's either raining or snowing here constantly, it seems. Products Used Ultimate Compound M205 Blacklight Lava V7 I'm pretty happy with it overall. Thanks everyone for the advice and suggestions.

    I struggle with re-sprays...

    As you know, mine is a re-spray and I've had a heck of a time with marring. The shop that painted my car does lots of show quality work and they don't use cheap materials so it can't be that in my case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A gallon of O.C.W. that my wife does not know about

    Hide your stuff in plain sight like I do. On the rare occasion that my wife makes a visit to the garage and asks me "hey, when did you get that?" I just tell her " I've had that for a long time, bought it months ago". She does the same thing to me all the time with shoes and clothes, lol...

    How would you polish this fender?

    I tried M205 by hand last night and it didn't go so well. I'm going to try Ultimate Compound (used it on hood, roof, trunk already) and not press down too hard. I'm in PA but I appreciate the offer! I don't have any 4" pads or smaller backing plate so I'm going to attempt it with the 5.5"...
