Amateur detailer here. I have always used my trust Porter (bought here) to polish my vehicles and to apply LSP. However, I always remove my LSP by hand. I would like to switch to a machine for that removal. A few questions: 1. Can I use my DA for this? If so, what type pad is best? 2...

Got the $25 Savings Note with my last Auto Geek order. Good through July 31st, it says. Also says "use it on sale items, custom items, polishers - it's your money." Only caveat is that I have to spend $150. So I order a DA for $149 and a red 6.5 LC pad for LSP bringing total to about $162...

Man, I made a lot of mistakes getting to this point. But Mike's videos really helped out. I started out with a badly swirled Torch Red Mustang - a color that shows everything. I bought compound and polish, but had no clue what I was doing. Did the whole car with compound and nothing happened...

Was doing some polishing this weekend when I accidentally set the Porter to 4. Imagine my surprise when I got almost no rotation at all when the pad was placed on the car surface. Is a problem running a low speeds common to all Porters? I seem to remember reading something about this. The...

I have some extremely soiled leather seats (I work in construction) that I need to clean. I have been doing a lot of research here on AutoGeek and it seems the best plan of attack is to hit them with a degreaser and a brush, followed by conditioner, etc. Everyone cleaning extremely dirty...

I have normally kept these on the shelf of my Florida garage, which can easily exceed 100 degrees in summer with door closed. What's the thinking on storing this stuff in your garage? I know all the directions specify a cool, dry place, but not sure the wife is gonna groove on storing car...

So what did we decide for my using Speed on my 2014 Torch Red Mustang? BS Uro-Fiber or Lake Country Orange? I need some cut but not a lot and I'm thinking a half-dozen of whatever (it's a Vert). What say you?

I am a former Zaino user. Zaino strongly suggests wiping down car after each coat of whatever with a quick detailer before installing next layer. It did a good job of cleaning off excess whatever and removing any hazing. Now I know you wouldn't apply a quick detailer after you had done a...

Will be using it on a 2014 Torch Red mustang. Swirls are kinda bad but not horrible. Probably got most out with Megs Compound on Orange pad week or so ago. My question is how to use the product. The videos and instructions are pretty clear - do 3 to 5 passes on a small section until it begins...

According to your website it is. It provides a nice sealant in addition to other things. And several people mentioned topping it with a carnuba for extra pop. But some threads have mentioned that it should be topped with an additional sealant, including the Klasse high gloss sealant, to give...

Going to be doing a lot more detailing with my Porter and was getting ready to invest in some pads. Any preference between the Lake CCS and their flat pads? Most of my work will be done with the 6.5 pads. Tx. in advance.

Instant detailing was never an issue for me. Just never did it. Always washed the car once a week. But time being what it is and with so many good Detailers on the market, I was wondering: Exactly how much micro-abrasion goes on when you instant detail a dry car? Keep in mind we go to great...

Hello everyone. I purchased a year old Torch Red Mustang Vert with about 12,000 miles on it about a year ago. Swirl marks were really bad. When I first bought the car, I used used various glazes to fill them up and then sealed them up with a sealant. But at the same time last year, I bought a...

Ordered some P21s Carnuba on here last week and was going to use it today. However, when I went to open the can, it opened really easy - like it had been opened before. The sticky paper was on top of the wax, but when I peeled it off, the wax underneath was rock hard. Like hardened wax or what...

Got some Swirl X from you and a couple of Orange pads to do minor correction on my 2014 red Mustang. I thought I would just check out any application tips and came across an instruction video from Meguiars where they are applying it by hand. Should I not use my Porter on this or and do it by...

Bought a Porter and pads a few weeks ago, along with three Wolfgang products - DG Sealant, Swirl Remover and Finishing Glaze (which I understand is not really a glaze, but has some slight cutting ability making it a solid second stage product.) Bought them for a 2014 Torch Red Mustang that...

When you folks are compounding and polishing, do you ever hit it with a quick detailer before the last stage product? You know, to get off any residue, leave as smooth a surface as possible, etc. Former Zaino user who used Z6 (their detailer) in between every step and every coat. Prolly a good...

What kind of tape do you guys use when you use it? Is blue painter's tape OK? I see a lot of people using what appears to be regular masking tape. The reason I ask is I am going to compound and polish a couple of cars. One is a Vert and I was going to tape around the edge of the top...

Getting a lot of good advice. One quick question. I get the feeling that there are a lot of people applying that last stage product, especially if it's a sealant, by hand. Using wax on a porter makes total sense. But when you start working with those sealants, such as WGDG, it would seem hard...

Former Vette owner/Zaino user who has decided to take the plunge into machine application. Used to do the Vette by hand with Zaino but layering the applications would take an entire weekend and don't have that much time. Plus I traded the Vette in a 2014 Red Mustang Vert. Want to get to a...
