I am polishing out a White Camaro next weekend for a car show. I was wondering if I should use M205 (already have) or pick up some SF4500 for the final polishing step. I will be using WG Uber for the compounding step. Thanks!!

I had a buddy ask me about the "Ming Finish" today. I had never heard of it so I looked it up online. It seems like total BS to me, but wanted to get some more info. I have no intention of using this method or promoting it, just wondering what it is exactly. Not to mention the whole "know...

Hope everyone had a happy holiday and enjoyed some time off with friends and family. I have a question about the temperature range for using DP Prep Polish, DP Paint Coating, and applying BFWD paint sealant. It will be ~50 today and tomorrow here in the Chicago area and I am wondering if that...

I traded in my '05 Grand Prix for an '08 G8. LOTS of work needs to be done on this car and I can't wait to get started. I still have a couple of write-ups I need to do for the Grand Prix (wet sanded some scratches, DP glass coating review) but for now here are some pics of the new ride...

I picked up the DP Coating kit when it was on sale. So far I have used the Paint and Wheel Coating. My first application of the coating went OK but I feel I over applied the product. This was due to several factors...low light, white car, didn't use the DP Prep Polish, newb. 2013 Camaro ZL1...

I picked up the DP Coating kit last week and decided to try it out first on a buddy's Camaro ZL1. I failed miserably at getting a lot of pics of the car and there are virtually no before pics. Not to mention they are cell phone pics. We have all seen a dirty car and can imagine what it looked...

I have a couple of spots on my car that need to be touched up. I was going to go with the Dr. Colorchip kit but decided to do it with touch up paint and clear coat. I am not sure what kind of brushes to get for the different shapes of dings and scratches. I was looking at these on...

I tried a quick search but didn't find what I was looking for... I am thinking about picking up the 3 oz. container of Fuzion while it is on sale. How do you apply it with a DA? Will I just scoop out the whole "disc" and rub it on the face of the pad? (with gloves on of course) -TtheC

Hello all...been a while since I have posted. Ran into a problem yesterday when I was compounding my brother's car yesterday. I was using the Meguiar's DA Microfiber system and the velcro melted in the center of my backing plate (about 1.5" in diameter). This is my 4th time using the system...

Is it ok to use Opti-coat on the inside of wheels? A buddy is getting a new set of wheels and I offered to Opti-Coat them for him before he gets them put on. Is there a benefit or is it overkill to do the inner portion of the rim? Thanks, TtheC

Would I have any bonding issues applying WGDGPS over d301? I am heading down to Joplin,MO this weekend and am going to detail my moms car. I am planning on working with the Megs MF system and would like to not have to remove the wax/sealant from the d301 before applying the WGDGPS. It is gong...

...Holy Crap!!! Holograms were everywhere!!! I guess I was driving with the sun at just the right angle to show every defect known to man on the cars I was driving by. I almost crashed heading down I-80 staring at one car in particular. The holograms were so bad they actully looked like...

Just wondering if anyone knows the recommended ambient temperature range for applying Opti-Coat. Thanks

So I loaded up my cart this morning with opti-coat, a 6 pack of pads, megs glass cleaner, BOGO microfiber detergent, M205, megs spray bottle, sample of wolfgang trim sealant, and maybe a thing or two more. Hit the free shipping mark, got the 20% off and was feeling good when I went to sleep...

I just recently polished out my car with the Megs MF system. I used the D301 for the second step. I have decided to opti-coat my car. Should I just use some Griots Paint Prep to remove the D301 and go from there, or should I do another final step polish with no protection added like M205 or...

I am polishing my car for the first time today. I was done with the 6th section of the hood and stopped to clean the pad. Turned my GG DA on and barely touched the brush to the pad and it flew apart from the velcro. Anyone else have this problem? :(

Placing an order and want to make sure I have all my bases covered... Already have from previous orders: Megs Gold Class Car Soap Grit Guards Clay Clay Lube Sonax Wheel Cleaner Daytona Speed Master Brush Pinnacle Bug Sponge Megs MF DA System Wolfgang DGPS Wolgang Black Diamond Tire Gel Foam...

I am loading up my cart and was wondering what sprayers you guys recommend other than the Kwazar?

I was wondering what everyone is using for the finishing step with their Megs Microfiber systems. I have read a lot of people trying other products instead of the finishing wax. I have the kit in my cart right now and was wondering if I should throw something else in there for the finishing...
