I have the 6" DA Polisher and my dad was wondering if he could borrow it to sand our flooring. Is it possible to do as such? If yes, is there a compatible backing plate + sander available to bought out there?

So some of the clear coat and paint were peeling on the lower side of one of the doors due to rock chips. I did the following steps to correct it: 1) Wash, Clay & Dry 2) Prep the surface by wet-sanding it with 1200 grit. 3) Dab with OEM touch up paint which I acquired from a body shop that...

If I still have a visible scratch then can't be corrected with a 1000 grit, is it safe to go lower than that? Or is it true that anything below 1000 can cut through the clearcoat, which obviously isn't a good idea?

I have a scratch on my glove compartment panel and would like to correct it. I don't know if I can still restore it to its original form but at least reduce the visible defect on it as much as possible. I was wondering if sanding is possible considering that it's vinyl. I also have Megs...

I would like to seek some help with these defects that I noticed on my car. Thanks! What do you call this paint defect? It's on my roof near the antenna? How do you correct this? I also have a scratch on my rear right corner bumper. NYC cab hit me... how typical.

Is this polish meant to be used by section only where there are light scratches and swirls, and plus as a finishing polish after using a Megs #105 (or other similar polish)? Or can I use this on the entire car as an overall finishing polish to bring out the car's shine before waxing it? Also...

So I just bought a bunch of stuff from AG taking advantage of the 15% sale. I got myself a GG 6", couple of polishes and buffing pads. I got the LC 6.5" CCS pads (6-pack) with the following colors: 1 yellow, 2 orange, 1 white, 1 grey and 1 blue. I'm just wondering if this a good set of pads to...

What is the ideal weather / temp to be working on your car? The only recommendation I see most of the time is to not work directly under the sun. Besides that, are there any other variables that need to be considered when deciding when to work on your vehicle? Let's say proper temp where the...

They have similar features, right? But how come, a lot of people seem to like the Meg's DA MF Correction System when it comes to removing scratches & swirls and levelling the paint? If you were to have only one of the two, which one would you get?

I know that the 6" GG ROP already comes with a 6" backing plate by default. How effective is this? I'm looking to purchase my very first polisher and I need to do some compounding, polishing and waxing. I've heard that the 5" plate with 5.5" works much better than 6". Is the 6" good enough...

Klasse All-In-One Polish I know this a very popular product here so I'm certain that a lot of you guys have experience using this. According to its description, it's a polish + acrylic sealant in one. Does this mean I can save myself from buying a polish and carnauba wax (since sealants...

I have a scratch on the driver side fender of my '10 Subaru Forester which was caused by NYC Plow Trucks this past winter. I'm new to Auto Detailing and would like to correct the damage myself instead of bringing it over to a pro body shop. With that said, I would appreciate all the help I can...

I need some help determining what buffer pads can be used with the GG 6" Polisher. I realized that GG has its own line buffers, but I was wondering if I can also use other brands like, Lake Country. Also, since the GG Polisher already comes with a 6" backing plate by default, does that mean I...

If I get myself a wheel/tire cleaner like the Mothers Foaming All Wheel & Tire Cleaner, or Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner Plus D103, or Meguiars Wheel Brightener, will I still be needing a tire dressing? Can I achieve the deep black appearance of the tire (almost new look) just by using cleaners...
