I spent the better part of 7 hours completely detailing my car today. I washed it with Megs Gold Class wash, clayed it with Megs Smooth Surface Clay Kit, and polished it with my PC and Megs M80. I then topped it off with two coats of Opti-Seal. I think I am going to put coat of Souveran on...

I accidentally posted this thread in the Show N Shine forum first. If any mods are reading this thread, please delete the other as I believe this is the appropriate forum. I have a couple of questions about the XMT 360 All-In-One Polish. I recently detailed my 4 month old Honda Accord...

Below are some pics of my freshly detailed 2007 Honda Accord, Nighthawk Black Pearl paint. I finally took the plunge and purchased a tub of Souveran Paste Wax. I can't tell you how pleased I am with the results. Here were my steps: Washed Car with Optimum ONR Cleaned and Sealed Paint with...

Pinnacle Souveran Paste is the best!!!(Updated with Picture) I went ahead and decided to pick up a jar of Pinnacle Souveran Paste while it was on sale last month and was very curious to see how it would do compared to two other paste waxes I have used in the past, Natty's Blue and S100. Both...

I just ordered some Meguiars M80 Speed Glaze, and I have a PC 7424 with some Edge 2K 6" foam pads. I have the White Polishing pad, Blue Finishing Pad, Green Light/Medium Cut Pad, and the Orange Heavy Cut pad. I am curious as to what pad you think would be best suited for applying Meguiars M80...

I have a fairly new 2007 Honda Accord, Nighthawk Black. I had the car professionally detailed about a month ago and had most of the swirls removed, and had the car sealed with Opti-Seal. Since then, I have applied another layer of Opti-Seal and have kept the car clean while introducing a few...

I purchased some Pinnacle Crystal Mist QD spray from this website a few months ago when it was on-sale. I had read that they were getting rid of all of the old formula to make room for the new VOC compliant product. A few questions. Does anyone know where I could score some additional...

I spent about 4 hours with a local auto detailer today that polished my car with a swirl removing compound. He used Optimum Polish to be exact. Anyways, he didn't tape off any of the car and just used the Polish all over. To his word, the polish did not affect any of my trim on my car. That...

I am having my car detailed by a local professional detailer here in the D/FW area next week. In speaking with him over the phone, I found that his product of choice for swirl removing and sealing is Optimum Polish followed by Optimum Poli-Seal. I was curious of everyone's thoughts here on...

I started a thread a little while ago about all of the hazing I had on my cars black paint along with a big scratch. Well, I decided to go ahead and clean the paint on my hood as I had a few new scratches and all of that hazing. Sure enough, I buff the hell out of my hood with a nice...

I recently purchased a brand new 2007 Honda Accord, Nighthawk Black. I unfortunately only really got into detailing and the knowledge that comes with that after I had the car for about a month and took it through a few car washes and dried it with old cotton towels, used Joy soap, etc. That...

I just got a Porter Cable 7424 and am awaiting the delivery of my Edge Pad system along with Poorboys SSR2.5. In the meantime, I finally decided to play around with it a bit, and I have a couple questions. First question. My porter cable came delivered with a 5" backing plate already screwed...

I just purchased a PC 7424 and am in the process of ordering my 6" Edge pads for it. I will be using the PC on both of my cars along with the XMT2 and XMT3 swirl removing compounds. My first car is only a few months old, but is black and is already showing swirl marks. Our other car is 10...

I recently just got into the auto detailing scene with the purchase of my new car. That said, I have ALWAYS used old cotten towels for drying my car. After readying this forum and others like it, I decided to pick up some Microfiber towels from my local Target. They are branded VROOM. Odd...

I wanted to show everyone the results of my first REAL detail job ever. I grew up washing cars with my father ever since I was little. That said, we never really got into detailing like I have learned how to do over the past few weeks visiting forums like this and getting help and advice...

What do you guys think of applying Klasse AIO to my car and then moving directly to applying a Carnuaba Wax such as P21S, and skipping the sealant all together? I know that a Carnauba Paste Wax will not last nearly as long as a good sealant. However, I am a beginner and novice at this, and I...

Hello, I ran into this forum when searching for detailing equipment. I am not a pro deailer, but I love taking care of my cars and want my car to look like it is being maintained by one. I have also washed my cars religously and waxed them, but with stuff you buy at Wal-Mart, etc. I just...
