A buddy of mine is trading his black Civic in and wants me to make it shine for cheap. It is swirled up pretty bad. I told him I would do my best, but for $50 I couldn't make it look like a show car. Which product would do a better job a temporary hiding swirls for a trade in, Megs 7 or 3M...

I know that blacklight has some fillers in it, but does it also have any abrasives? I don't want to waste my time working the product in if I can just do one pass and be done with it.

I was wondering if I could use any wash mitt on my car without causing marring. With good soap and a two bucket method, should that be enough lubrication to stop marring?

I am trying to help out my disabled neighbor. He only has full use of one arm, the other arm suffers from some nerve issues. He wants to take the swirls out of his black Ford. I have offered to do it for him for no charge, but he insists on doing it himself. I am going to let him borrow my PC...

I was wondering what some of the most hydrophobic LSPs out there are? I have been using Collinite 845 and Sonax BSD, are there any more out there that are more hydrophobic than these?

Is it true that on many modern cars it isn't worth trying to condition leather seats? I heard most of them are coated, so any conditioner won't penetrate the leather. Is there truth to this? Just clean them and be done?

I already have a products for a deep, glossy shine. I decided to pick up some products to give me that summertime metallic flake "pop." The car was already pretty clean, so I didn't post any before pictures. I have a couple if anyone is really interested. Here is what I did - Wash with CG...

Could you guys recommend some QDs with no wax in them? I just want to remove dust or pollen from my car, not put more and more coats of wax on it.

I spent 5 hours today polishing my car. I got rid of all the swirls, it looks great on that front, but in the wrong light it has the same ugly holograms all over. I used new Lake Country pads and microfiber just to combat this. I did this: Wash with Chem Guys citrus wash. Wipe down with IPA...

I am getting ready to detail my car and I am trying to figure out what I should use. All I have is M105 and P21S cleaner. The car has some VERY minor swirls (you have to be looking for them to see them). Would P21S cleaner be abrasive enough to get rid of them?

What do you guys dilute your Wash/Gloss to when doing an everyday wash? I don't want to strip any wax. The instructions are unclear.

I have been looking into getting a new quick detailer for my car. I did some reading and it seems people like SBSD. A lot of people comment on it's beading "insane" beading properties, making me think this is a spray wax or sealant. Is this product a LSP or a QD like the name suggests?

I have a tin of FK1000p from 2009 that I use on my three cars every 3 months. I must apply this stuff too thin, because even using it that often there is like 90% of it left. At this rate it will last me a decade or two. Is there a point that I should replace this stuff?

I saw these for sale on the Chemical Guys website, but I think other companies sell them too. They are DA polishing pads with a microfiber cutting/polishing area. Has anyone tried them out? I am afraid they would cause marring if even a touch of dirt got on the paint before I started polishing.

I have a bunch of dirty LC pads after my last detail. Usually I will just let them rest in some water and ring them out and they clean up nice. This time around they are VERY soiled, and have some caked on wax on the edges. I was wondering if I should boil these in some vinegary water like I...

I got a free sample of CG Blacklight and V7 sealant. I was wondering if I should use the BL like a glaze, and not work it in as much as a polish, or follow the same procedure I would with something like M205?
