    Compound losing lubrication? (becoming more aggressive)

    I detailed my GF's Black Mustang with enough swirls to use my standard 2 step polish XMT #4 w/ orange pad, and nano w/ white pad. All with my PC. I had something interesting happen with my first step. The combo was creating alot on marring on the edges of panels. I figured no problem and just...

    Paint thickness gauge?

    Why are paint thickness guages not popular in the USA? I have recently been on some UK forums, and in most of the details I see a paint gauge is used. The cheapest qaulity gauge I could find was around $280. This seems like alot but, when I think about all the money I (we) spend on detailing...

I know that this is a old topic, but I searched and didn't find much about this... How about applying 2 thin...

    Addressing the small details on my EVO.

    My evo had some light swirls that 360 could not get out. I have been using 106 on a bunch of cars recently. And, I figured I had enough practice to use it on my ride. I dont have any pics of the swirls since it was very cloudy on sat. But, oh well, the 106 did its job as usual. The only snag was...

    Boiled linting MF...

    I boiled my cobra green multi purpose towel. Its was linting really bad after about 2 years of use. I simply boiled it for about 20 mins. The water turned purple and was soapy. It seem that the boiling water absorbed all the soap and chemicals that I have used in the past. It did dull the color...
