    Wolfgang Polishin' Pal - Which replacement pads

    I am going to get the Wolfgang Polishin' Pal and might purchase a few more pads. In the description it says to purchase the Spot Buff 3.5" pads. When I search for those they are the LC CSS pads with the dimples. I'm not a big fan of the dimples and like the flat pads more. Can I use the LC...

    A few random detailing questions. Products, techniques, etc

    So I have a few detailing questions on a few different topics and didn't want to start a new topic for each question. I've gotten more into detailing the last few years so I'm still learning but enjoying it all. 1. Do you polish ever time you detail or do you just hit any new scuffs, etc as...

    Help recommend new microfiber towels

    I am in need of some new microfiber towels to replenish some old ones I have. Most of mine came in the Meguiar's Clay Kits, waxes, etc. I also have the cheap ones from HF when using them for tasks that I don't care if the get ruined. I never use them removing polish, wax, etc. I'll need...

    Polish before waxing - do I need to every time?

    Do I need to polish every time I wax my truck? I want to get the most shine out of the paint each time I wax but I also don’t always have the time to polish before. I always clay the truck before though. I have been using UP but I also purchased some Pinnacle Polish that I haven’t tried yet...

    Should I polish a fairly new car before waxing?

    I'm going to be detailing a 2016 Toyota Avalon with dark charcoal paint (not sure of the exact color name). When I looked the other day I did not notice any major surface defects (swirls, etc) just normal everyday defects from rocks, etc. There are a few light scratches that will need to be...

    Pinnacle or Wolfgang - Which LC pad (Flat or CCS)?

    I tried to search here and the web but couldn't find any answers. I currently use Meguiars compounds, polishes and waxes but want to give some other brands a try and was thinking about either Pinnacle or Wolfgang. What LC pad combinations should I use with either or their compounds and...

    2008 Silverado - Detailing results

    Thought I would share some detailing results on my 2008 Silverado Crew in Graystone Metallic. It has about about 117,000 miles on it. I have the whole truck clayed but only got around to polishing and waxing the bed and tailgate. I know I'm not as skilled as some on here but thought things...

    Lake Country - CCS vs CCS Cutback pads

    I was looking on Lake Country's website and noticed two types of CCS pads. The regular CCS and then there are some CCS Cutback pads. There wasn't much on their website as to what the difference is and I was wondering if anybody here knew. I currently have the Lake Country flat pads but want to...

    1976 MGB - Detailing and bring paint back to life

    I am working on cleaning up a 1976 MGB Roadster. The car has been in the garage but the paint is still in need of some good TLC. Probably the best thing to do for this is a full repaint but I'm not trying to make this into a show car. It's a driver but I still want the paint to look as best as I...

    Applying wax with DA polisher - any tricks?

    Today was my first time using a DA polisher on my CC silverado. First off let me say that it made applying the polish so much easier and quicker. For my first attempt I feel like I did pretty good. My question involves applying wax. I was using LC 5.5 foam pads with Ultimate Wax. When I put...

    What speed to run HF DA polishing for applying polish and wax?

    I'm not sure if this needs to go in this forum or should be moved to Detailing 101, so move if needed. I recently ordered 6 LC 5.5" flat foam pads (3 white, 3 gray/black) and have the 5" backing plate on the way (will be here tomorrow). I'll be using Ultimate Polish and Ultimate Wax. Now I...
