In my research of polishers, I'm hoping to ask the typical question in reverse. Normally, the obvious question(s) is: "What the best polisher?" "What do you LIKE most about your polisher?" Etc... I'm hoping to learn the flaws or maybe even the improvements you see in the polisher you own...

I'm hoping to get into this hobby, but not quite ready to throw down big $$ on a polisher. Is it a good idea to buy used? If so, what should I be aware of when inspecting it? For example, theres check lists when you buy a used car. Is there something similar for used polishers? Thanks all...

Hi folks, Can anyone recommend a company that offers hands classes in the San Francisco Bay Area? Thanks! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Hi all, I own a 99 BMW M3 and I recently wiped down the interior dash, door panels, center console, steering wheel, etc (not leather parts) with DP Interior Cleaner and Protectant. I noticed a day later that the "rubbery" area of the steering (the center portion) became very dull looking. It...

Hi again, I'm getting ready to spend some quality time with my 99 BMW. I'm fairly new to correction procedures and haven't had experience on many cars (actually just one - a 99 Land Rover). I had no idea if the clear coat was soft, medium, or hard..I just went to Megs 105/205 and it came out...

Hi all, I mentioned in a previous post that I picked up a 99 M3. (Sorry, no pics yet. I wanted to do some before and after pics) The previous owner had some sort of wax applied to it as I can tell from "left-overs" in the cracks. I want to get a nice baseline starting point for my car. When...

Hi all, I just read on a BMW forum that a person detailed their engine bay using Meguiars Leather Wipes. I've read quite a bit on autogeek about cleaning the engine bay, but no where have I read that you can use Meguiars Leather Wipes. So...Fact of Fiction?

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a pretty sweet 99 M3 Black exterior and Black interior. The overall paint condition is pretty nice with no oxidation or fading. I do not know the thickness of the clear coat because I don't own the cool tool that determines it. The leather seats have the usual...

Hi all, I searched the AG store for a bristle brush that can attach to my porter cable DA, but couldn't find one. Maybe I just totally missed it. I want to do a nice deep cleaning of my carpet in my car but want to utilize my PC power and not my arms. (work smarter, not harder). So if anyone...

Hi all, I am hoping to seek your advise in restoring my wheels. These are 5 spoke stock rims on an Integra. (Often referred to as Fat 5s). Anyway, I want to restore these and take out all the scratches and blemishes. I've read that I can use sandpaper to level out the scratches and then use...

My car has been through some bumps and bruises and has some cracked paint along the rear bumpers. Is it safe to use DA polisher over these areas? Im afraid if there's too much pressure, then I will see paint chips flying. Should I just totally avoid the cracks?

I finally got around to claying my car today after a 2 bucket wash method. I just got back into taking care of my car after a 9 year break...ya, almost a decade. You can imagine the contaminate build up. I first used the White Megs Claybar from the claybar kit with the Megs Quik Detailer...

Hi all, I recently came across a garage sale where I picked up a bicycle and happened to come across some detailing products. The guy threw them in when I bought the bike. My question: The seller says he hasn't used the products in over 1 year. These are mostly Meguiar's products. Do...

This may be a silly question, but the reason I ask is because I forgot to purchase the 5in Backing Plate over the 20% off weekend. The other reason is because the funds were drained after that weekend...so if anyone knows whether or not 5.5LC Pads work on 6in backing plates, please let me know...

Hi All! I am so glad I came across this website and forum. There are vasts amount of information that can go on for days! Literally, I've been trying to read every article, how-tos, etc for 2 weeks straight. And I'm not done yet! I'm starting out as just an enthusiast looking to make my car...
