Looks like the problem is getting a little more common. Same thing just happened to me. Didn't PC get bought out not all that long ago by Delta? Maybe there is an issue with that and the PC is going to be junk now... Well, I just googled it and it looks like that was a number of years...

OK, got a PC7424xp from Autogeek with the Menzerna package a few months ago. I was studying for a promotional exam at work, so it sat for a few months before I even opened the box, but I finally did. I polished my one truck and had no issues and the truck turned out good. Just started my...

Looks like the 50/50 is going to have to wait. I was using my PC 7424xp yesterday and it actually melted my backing plate and pad. This is after using it for about 30 minutes. I was trying to do a light polish on my other truck just to prep it to sell. This sux... Did some reading on this...

Yeah, problem is I don't have anything but the outdoor before. That is why I was trying to match that one. As far as the sky, if you look at the A-pillar between the mirror, you will see that there is just a cloud in the sky, not an overcast day. The blue is just that different. Too much...

I will do that with the hood. I have not done the hood yet as I was saving it for last so I could improve my technique along the way and save the best for last. I did a 2x2 sectoin tonight before someone stopped by and I stopped working on it. Will drive my other truck to work tomorrow and...

The more I look at these pictures, the more I think I need to try again on the afters. The grass looks different, the sky by the "A" pillar looks very different, the interior through my window looks different. Maybe the angle of the sun was different and changed everything... This might be...

I do not right now. Is there an OTC one that I can run out and get that is pretty good? Can I use IPA diluted to clean over a wax? I figured it would take the wax off. Is that not true?

OK, got a strange problem. Polished with menzernas, washed three times over a week, waxed with Petes 53 carnuba. About 30 hours later, I dusted it with a car duster with 0 pressure, just skimming the fibers across the paint. I then took Mothers showtime instant detailer a few hours later with...

Hey, I posted my first polishing job a week ago on my black silverado and was thinking it did not look as black as it was before. Well, it was suggested that I add a wax on top of it, so I did. Here is the before and after. I tried to match the time of day, same panel, hell, I even had my same...

Well, I am just a newbie, but I just polished the paint on my truck. I applied WGDPS 3.0 over the polished paint and thought it looked pretty good, but not really very black any more. I just put some Pete's 53 on and I think it looks much better. I did not do a test spot, but it looks deeper...

Truck looks great! Blue definitly looks wet. The wettest looking paint I ever had was on my blue Vette. They always seem to have the deepest, wettest look when done! Wish my black truck had that wet look...

I did not. I washed it though. Does that count? The swirls that were in the truck were pretty bad. After the polish, the only thing I have showing up now are a few random relatively straight line scratches(although very light and only noticable at the right angle). When I dry the truck, I...

OK, what is a good one step that you recommend? Can I use the Menzerna 106 as a one step? Would you do it with a white pad or what? Gonna do some searching as well... thanks,

I do have some qd's, but I don't use them when I am drying. The ryobi has no nuts what so ever. I bought the weedeater/blower on clearance because it came with a battery and charger, which made the tools all but free(luckily, because they SUCK!). I will try the blotting after the blower...

I flood rinse and I have a ryobi electric blower. I use the blower to get the excess out of the cracks and mirrors and such only. I do not blot anything. Not sure what you are talking about...

I just watched the video washing 101 and short of the second bucket, I am there. This is my 4th chevy truck, and this clear seems to be particularly sensitive. I can't find any signs of it being repainted either, but it could have been. Bought it used... either way, what a pain in the...

Yeah, I got ya on the black. I have the guzzler drying towels. I always rinse my mits before they go back in the water and I try not to stir the water and only stay on the top half. I have a blue 2007 silverado as well and I can be more abusive to that one without instilling swirls in it (...

OK, I just finished polishing my truck for the first time ever this week. The results were pretty good as far as scratch and swirl removal with no swirls that I could find examining it in the sunlight a few different times. It rained a few times so I have washed it a few times, and each time I...

Nice work. Hoping I can get my work to this level eventually. Like a mirror...

Yeah, I guess I am going to try that tomorrow. Just didn't want to waste the wax if i was going to end up stripping it all off to start with the glaze. Your answer clears that up though. Thanks.
