Hi Guys, my girlfriend had someone smash into her car, so off to the shop it went under the insurance. When it came back it had several patches of badness on the bonnet :( I don't think the bonnet was replaced but it may have been sprayed to colour match the front quarter, which was smashed. Is...

For those waxes that come in both a liquid and paste form, which one is better? Looking in particular at Mothers California Gold™ Natural Formula Pure Carnauba Wax - Available in Liquid or Paste. Carnauba based car wax from Mothers california gold line of If I'm using a DA should I go for the...

Well, not completely lazy. I take care of a couple of daily drivers that only get washed every month or so. I'm wanting to do something (maybe every week) that is quick and easy to get rid of most of the dirt/grime (mainly dust) so that when I wash it properly they aren't so dirty. So, my...

I'm looking into getting a wax with my next purchase to put over a paint sealant (most likely menzerna powerlock). Is there any point putting collinite 845 over the top of powerlock, or should I be looking at a different wax, like signature series II or something. Don't want to spend "too"...

I was reading about AIOs on here, mainly to use on friends cars where I can't justify a weekend fixing the terrible things they've done to their paint :nomore: The main questions I have are: 1. do i need to clay before I use this? It's implied that it is a cleaner as well, but not sure what...

Hey Guys, I think this is a stupid question but i'll ask it anyway. I've got Menzerna SW-PROTECT (their sealing wax, not powerlock, I'm gonna buy powerlock!) and have applied it to my car. I've noticed it doesn't bead very well, but does sheet water fairly well. My question, can I top it with...

OK, I've read consistently that most people seem to hate the CCS pads, so then why do so many kits come with them? They seem to be in the majority of kits so either the people who hate them just yell a lot louder than those who like them, or, they really aren't very good... I got a kit recently...

Hi all, about 2 weeks ago a applied Meguiars Ultimate liquid wax to my car (after a good clay) and then last week I completely detailed my boot using menzerna products PG100, then SF45500 then SW-PROTECT (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/51944-first-time-da-great-results.html)...

Hi guys, I recently got my DA polisher (it's a concours 900, Australian brand, basically a porter cable) and finally got to use it today!!!! I got with it a menzerna pack and some 6.5 CSS pads. Menzerna pack is: PG1000 PF2500 SF4500 SW-PROTECT (I'm keen to get some powerlock or WGPS 3.0) Pads...

So I got some CSS pads yesterday, and I noticed that the blue one has one of the little dimples not properly formed. It's rough and sits a little above the surface, feels kind of like it's got glue (or melted) or something like that, but definitely a "sharp" feel to it. Is it OK to use? Should i...

Hi guys, I'm about to receive a polisher and some menzerna compounds with 6.5" CCS pads. Just wondering if pad conditioner is really required, and if detail spray can be used instead of it if it is really really necessary (like mothers showtime, which comes with their clay). As I unnderstand...

This may be a weird question, but the microfibre in the mothers clay kit has 2 very different sides to it, which am i suposed to use!?! the soft fluffy side or the firmer less fluffy side?

This may be a really stupid question, but I was after some safe/easy/cheap ideas on how to get me up to the right height to polish the roof of my car (polisher is on it's way!!!).

Hi Guys, just wondering about people experience with the menzerna sealing wax (not power lock). Does it last well, or only average?? Thanks

Hi Guys, I'm just starting here and was wondering how long it takes you guys to do certain tasks, so I have some idea of how I'm going. I clayed the bonnet of my car (yes, just one pannel) and it seemed to be a slow process, but I was much faster by the end of the pannel ;) So, how long does...

Hi Mike, just wanted to say that I cannot believe how you've opened my eyes over the past couple of weeks to all the things that I've been doing wrong for years. You've been a tremendous help, so thank you. OK, now to the point of my post. I think it would be incredible if you embedded videos...

Hi Guys, thought we could start a thread to introduce ourselves and have our own little mini-community on here with our Aussie only problems and, most importantly solutions. So, drop by, say hi, and lets get the discussions flowing. Something to start the ball rolling, buying in bulk from AG...

Hi Guys, I'm new to this whole detailing thing, well, new to doing it correctly I should say. Always enjoyed looking after my car (somewhat correctly from what I've recently learned). I'm basically looking to get a set of products that will cover me fixing a range of cars owned by my family...

Hi Guys, this is my first post in this forum and just wanted to say that I wish I'd found this site years ago instead of wasting a lot of time and effort doing things wrong/learning from my own mistakes. I live in Australia and drive a 1998 Mitsubishi Magna (Diamante in the US), and it is...
