    Black paint

    So is it to be expected that no matter what you do there will be some fine scratches in the clear?

    Detail Spray

    Do you guys use detail spray to wipe down the car if there is just a light dust on the paint? When I say light I mean after a fresh detail and drove the car once so there is just some stuff that settled on the paint. This is a garaged truck so no morning dew to stick the dust to the paint or...

    towels?

    I bought tons of high quality cotton towels because I was told they are no risk for scratching vs MF towels that can trap and not let go of debris. I am having a heck of a time getting the cotton to remove my LSP and the smears I am having I think are related to the cotton towels. Please...

    Well I have to say that although I did not use AG product I did buy lots of stuff from them in terms of tools and pads etc. I was scared to death to use a PC for the first time and I think I drove the forum nuts with questions and the least I can do is throw up some pics and say a BIG THANK...

    cleaning inside badges and lettering?

    How are you guys getting all the haze and product out of your lettering? For example my "Tundra" lettering that is small or the "platinum" badges have hazy looking residue in them and I am trying it all with no luck.

    orange peel?

    Does using the swirl remover products with the PC knock down the orange peel that is in the clear coat? I have a Tundra and when you look at it from an angle you can see the orange peel. I guess that makes another questions as to how thick these clear coats are to allow for paint correction? I...

    Wrong choices?

    So it seems I like to order things then send them back after doing more research. :( I ordered the PC and now am reading that the Flex is the one to get. I am brand new and this is going to be a learning process for me. I want it to be easy and if spending more to get quality means less...

    foam gun

    I just tried the pressure spray method and have a foam cannon on its way to me but I think I changed my mind. With pressure sprayers dying and the risk of too much pressure causing damage or removing my wax job I think I may go another direction. At this poitn I am returning the pressure washer...
