    Help an old Member perhaps? Final polish?

    Whew, been many moons my old pals! I have lurked here and there getting some advice, but sorry, haven't posted. I'll keep it short and I thank you all in advance for any suggestions. Haven't done a vehicle in awhile that needed a heavier detail, so here it goes. 2011 Chrysler 300 in dark...

    Just not glossy enough...

    Been awhile my friends... So, new car (Nissan Juke) metallic maroon (I guess)... I've polished a few times and tried all my old tricks and various products. Thing is, it just doesn't seem to be "glossy" enough for me! Looks really good of course, but its missing something still. I've tried all...

    Hey guys, first of all hello, been away for several months. Hope all is well. So bought a new car today and was all ready to bring it home and polish her up when the dealer told me, btw since it was in our showroom we put a protective coating on it. I found out they used a product called...

    Can I...BFWD on acrylic?

    Can I use a sealant on an acrylic windshield on a golf cart? Always exposed to super dusty elements, so figured it might help protect it some.

    Can I?: BF Polish seal followed by ...quick?

    Doing a quick one right now, dark metallic grey. Needs a light polish, but not bad at all. For some reason I'm dying to use Blacklight on this one. SO, can I use BF polish and seal followed with Blacklight? I'm finishing with BFWD. Think the blacklight would stick to the polish seal or be...

    Paint chips...would CQuartz prevent?

    My brand new truck (5K on it now), always been sealed/waxed and taken care of from day one. Doing a good detail the other day, I noticed some super tiny paint nicks on the rear wheel well flares and few on the lowers. It's a 4x4 and has big knobbies on it and mudflaps, thus lots of tones...

    Which polish/sealer?

    I've never used them too much through the years, always went regular polish, then sealers/waxes of choice, but now as time is more dear personally, I think I could benefit from using one on certain jobs. I'd like it to just be a light polish with a solid sealant to get the job done quickly. I do...

    Detailed tonight: BFWD, new pads, Blacklight

    Figured I'd chime in since I've been silent past few weeks. Went for a quick, but good detail on my '12 black Colorado. Few weeks back I applied Blacklight by hand followed by V7 with decent results after my initial detail topped with WG sealer and Souveran. Been dying to try my new flat pads on...

    Wheel cleaners, learned something...I think

    So, I have always only did personal and friends' vehicles since getting into this thing years ago, never recall any having chrome wheels. My new Colorado has nice chrome wheels. Now I've always used an all wheel cleaner or diluted purple power, etc on wheels. So now I have these chrome ones I...

    3401, how much of a time saver in reality?

    I've been using the old PC since joining here and learning all the cool stuff that's possible. So now that the bug hit me again this year I've been thinking about the 3401. As personal demands continue to take more and more of time, it's harder to commit to full details for family and friends...

    Jetta: Before/After and spots

    So, kid home from college and I did her Jetta today. Let me say, it was bad, worse car I've ever done. Scratches galore, webbing, etc. Before: After: And to the spots... Nothing helped them. I tried everything to get them off or ease the sight of them. Looks to me as if something was...

    Counterweight PC?

    Ok, basic ? from an oldie here... I am waiting on new 5.5 flats and HT LC pads to arrive this week! I have basically only used the Edge system since I got into this years ago. It has a counterweight that says for 6" pads only. To use my new pads, do I take off the counterweight or leave it on...

    ? about live broadcast, your reply...scratches

    Hey Mike, I watched most of the episode Thursday night and it was informative, but not a good connection on my end so I missed quite a lot. Anyway, one guy asked you in the garage something along the lines of, "what about these scratches" in which you replied something like, "We aren't worried...

    Wolfgang sealant or? BF maybe?

    Ok, desperate need to order up fresh products. I've always loved working with the WG old formula sealant, but there are so many new ones on the market I'm clueless. The Blackfire looks interesting to me. I basically have a household full of black vehicles. I'll typically top with Souveran...

    Pick next step...

    Hitting this old black Mercedes today. Tons of spider webbing, etc. Just used Menz Intensive polish, took tons out. I think I can skip doing 3 steps for polishing, unless you think different? Should I go Menz Final Polish next or straight to Wolf glaze? As I was going to go final polish and...

    I'm back, but forgot some things...chime in!

    Whew, been several years and was pretty much very low maintenance on my vehicles, but now with a shiny new black truck...the games have begun! I might have messed up though :<( There were some light swirls, but larger straight scratches on the finish, likely from the dealer washing it a few...
