Hi guys & gals, My brother in law just called. He bought a blue 2002 Bluebird bus that he's going to use to help his teenage kids start a snow cone business with. In any case, he asked me for some advice on getting the paint cleaned up. He lives 1000 miles away, so unfortunately I haven't...

I've been ONRing my car for at least seven years. Occasionally I will spray it down at a do-it-yourselfer when the car is absolutely filthy in the winter. Other than that, which is maybe once or twice a year, I ONR it only. My car is a nonmetallic black 350Z. Not only do I not use a grit...

Hey guys, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction here. Today I tried a coating for the first time. Subject car is a black 350z. Most of the car was polished a few weeks ago. I've been ONRing it 2-3x a week since. No wax. Today I finished polishing the car with SF4500...

My best bud recently acquired a late 70's Ford pickup truck. I ONR'ed it and put on a coat of Powerlock, but before I did, I polished one area with a white CCS pad and M205. It cleaned up the paint a lot, but it seemed that I was left with these fairly pattern-like white spots. Honestly, it...

I've used ONR for years and like it, but I have an itch to try something new. My only complaint with ONR is that my car is tough to dry. I'm not saying ONR is causing this either, but I'm thinking about trying something else. Does anyone know of a rinse-less wash that's super easy (slick)...

I use OPC at full strength. Even after four or five rounds on one tire, I'm still getting brown. Do clean tires do this or what am I doing wrong? They're relentless! I've experienced this on multiple sets too.

I just read a post on Meguiar's FB page claiming such, along with a warning to their readers to bring these products out of the garage and inside. Last year I did this, but to be honest this year it didn't really occur to me to bring all my stuff inside. The comment on their page said "A hard...

If you're mobile and travel to your clients' homes to do work, how do you get around the sun? Meaning, do you work in the sun? Work in their garage? Bring a tent? Another question.. How on Earth do you manage to do even a 1-step polish in some of the time frames of seen listed on various...

No matter the towel I use, I cannot slide a towel over the car to dry. If I do, it's requires too much pressure in order to do so, at least in my opinion. My car is clayed often, so that's not the issue. Now, it will be slick for the first wash (maybe two washes) after a wax, but then it's...

Car-04 Nissan 350Z (black). Last night I was bringing the paint back to its maximum potential. Most of the panels received SF 4500 on a black pad. It worked flawlessly. My rear quarter is repainted and it looked awesome too, until I used Carpro eraser. Swirls galore. Tonight the same...

Man o man. Today I went outside to clean my wheels with my new Daytona brush. The face of the rims wasn't bad at all, but the barrels had never been cleaned in the ten years I had the car. I used OPC. I wanted to get the tires perfect too to use UTTP. Well, when I was done cleaning and...

Holy crap it shows everything. I have black car too. My life may become a nightmare now. Also, I noticed LOTS of tiny, tiny, tiny streaks from the last time I washed with ONR. This was a problem for me in the past, but seemed to have gone away, or so I thought. Generally I dry my car with...

Yesterday I detailed my brother-in-laws 08 Silverado. It's black and it was FILTHY. He works in construction so it's understandable. :) He had quite a bit of black plastic trim on his bumper, handles, the part underneath the front bumper (not sure what it's called) and what used to be a...

I just graduated myself to Semi-Noob, lol! So, I'm going to ask a few, maybe a lot-- of questions that I have from time to time. They're unrelated but every so often I think of them and instead of creating a thread each time I have one, I'm going to try to list as many as I can think of over...

Yesterday I had a buddy over with his new Ford Fusion. We clayed it together and I specifically told him to be really careful not to drop the clay. It was a brand new Sonus Ultra-Fine bar and sure enough, he dropped it at one point. It did pick up a bit of sand and such, but I told him not to...

I just noticed that my side few mirror had some water spot etchings in it about an hour ago. I said hey, I wonder if I can clear this thing out with 105 by hand. Went at it and my towel turned black. Hit it with menz 4500 by hand after words and no such blackness. (My car is black). My side...

The first time I tried cleaning the inside glass with ONR I was shocked. It's about a million times easier than anything else I had used. For whatever I reason I never had good luck with even Stoner's. If the window is really filthy you might have to do it two or three times but it's almost...

What's your procedure? This is kind of a noob question, but today I did a 2-step polish on the 350z. I properly taped everything off beforehand, but when I pulled the tape off I had a somewhat hardened line of product that had built up along the edge. Do you guys just take a towel and rub it...

I'm currently staying at my mother-in-laws for the next month and since I've been here I've had some issues with my Flex 3401. Let me explain... I'll be using the Flex and everything will be fine, but then all of a sudden it will drop rpms. This is without me pressing down too hard or...

Reason I ask is I've been tinkering with some different compounds, polishes and pads the last few days on my black 350z. Just trying some different things out to see what the best and most efficient recipe is, so when I have the time I can knock the whole car out. Surprisingly, I got very good...
