    Very hard lesson learned today

    Sorry but I don't have a garage and I can definitely read and comprehend instructions. Everything gets done in direct sunlight or nothing detailing related for me could ever get done. That means using stuff in direct sunlight. And I've used Iron-X and Trix in sunlight before with no issue. I...

    So, I found some time today to detail my car. I planned on doing a wash, decon, and wax. I used CarPro Trix in the direct sunlight, as I have done plenty of times before today with no issue, but today was different. After using it, the paint looks like it has some bubbling, orange peel...

    So Who can tell me what happened here? Pictures ... its pretty bad.

    The Deep plastic cleaner + a quality interior brush. Save the APC and Degreaser for truly nasty stuff. Here's a good link to it's capabilities. Nextzett used to 1Z Einzett, FYI. https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/72817-review-1z-plastic-deep-cleaner.html

    Struggle with white paint..ugh

    Machine polish or wax application instead of hand application Wipe off residue Go over car again with a quick detailer or spray wax I think that should work for not missing a spot on white paint, even with poor lighting.
