Welcome to Autogeek online! First of all, do the baggy test to check if you need to clay your paint. It's the process where you put your hands in a plastic bag/zip lock then run your hands through the paint. If you feel small bumps, then you should clay your car. You can find out more of this...

Hi Mike! Very nice work with the Rotary buffers! I do have an inquiry, is that the Makita 9227c Sander/Polisher?

Thanks for the tips guys, wow that Porsche looks great! I'll keep you posted with my updates with my Plasti Dip project :)

Hey everyone, has anyone in here tried to use Plasti Dip to paint their rims? My rims are actually banged up and I was thinking of using Plasti Dip to make a paint job on my rims. Thanks!

What I do in my DD is to apply DP Poli-coat paint sealant, then apply Collinite 845. Works good IMHO. :) cleaning up is a breeze and beading is still good after ~2 months.

Haha that's mean! I could just imagine lol!

Neverwet, see for yourselves! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZrjXSsfxMQ]NeverWet Arrives - Hands-On Product Demonstration - YouTube[/video]

I must confess. I'm addicted to microfiber towels. Especially the plush ones. And smell them when they are new....

Thank you very much for the input guys! Yeah will try to leave the glaze out. I was using Meguiar's Deep Crystal Polish. I think it makes sense because I remembered I left my roof without the glaze and the roof is beading water. Will try to redo my application this coming weekend. Thanks a lot guys!

I prepped the surface just as normally as I would. Wash-clay-swirlx-glaze-sealant-wax. Oh by the way I added glaze in my step comparing to my previous work. Could that possibly contribute to the durability of the wax? It's relatively hot where I came from. But one thing to note is that it...

Hello guys, Just want to share my experience, 2 weeks ago i had the time to wax my daily driver with collinite 845. A really great wax, had it stayed for my car for almost 4 months before reapplying. Anyway 2 weeks ago i reapplied my collinite but I didnt wait for it to dry to a haze. I buffed...

Was also curious, what would happen if during curing time, it rained? Should you re apply the sealant after the rain?

Wow thanks a lot for all your replies! Bobby, I didn't know that a new car would be that filthy! I'm now eager to start this project. Thanks a lot guys!

Hello guys! I have a friend who just recently bought a new Red Honda Fit and we were thinking of polishing it. However besides removing swirls, should we expect a very significant change in its color? (i.e. deeper red, wet looking finish, etc.) Paint is from the factory and I'm inclining that...

Thanks af90 I'll get myself some touch up paint for this repair.

Follow up question, can I just get away with applying only the touch up paint and don't wet-sand it?

Thanks everyone! I was also reading some how-to's to remove this kind of scratch and it seems I'd need to also wet sand once I have applied the touch up paint.

Thanks for the advice! Do you have any recommendations on touch up paint brands?

Hello guys, I have a small but deep paint metal scratch that shows bare metal. Besides repainting the whole thing, are there other alternatives you guys can recommend to fix this?

:iagree: Definitely use a polish and not a glaze as to what the other guys above stated. As to what they said, start with the least aggressive product. Here's a chart for your convenience: Autogeek Swirl Removers & Compounds Comparison Chart :welcome:
