    Ceramic coated my car, residue remaining

    Hey! I had applied CQuartz to my Tesla which went well, but I ran into an issue where my windows have a sliver of residue on the bottom portion because the windows retract when the door opens. I've tried buffing it with a microfiber towel by hand but I doesn't seem to be doing anything. I...

    Pads for Milwaukee 7" Polisher

    I just got a Milwaukee 7" Polisher, and I'm looking to get some pads for it since I unfortunately have a ton of 6.5" pads for my GG6. I was suggested by some to just use a 6.5" HDO pad for the polisher since the edges actually line up well with the 7" backer. However, I also saw that Lake...

    Polishing passenger window

    I came out to my car tonight to a massive scratch on my passenger side window. I can't feel the scratch much with my fingernail, but I can't rub it away. Before I look into replacing the window, I'd like to try and polish the window. A few questions. 1) Is it at all possible by hand or do I...

    How to tell when leather is saturated w/ conditioner?

    I just got new Roadwire leather seats for my car. They were clearance items so I can't really complain too much for the price I paid, but I one of my pieces of upholstery was quite dry and felt very rough to the touch with some cracking. I've done probably at least 5 rounds of Griot's Leather 3...

    Burger grease on fabric upholstery

    So being super hungry, I decided to eat a burger in my car without laying down some napkins and spilled some grease. I've tried baking soda and Ultima interior Shampoo Gel with oil stains left behind. Any suggestions on what product to use? I really regret getting beige fabric.

    P21S Paint Cleanser Polisher Settings

    Hi guys, I'm hoping someone can answer this quickly for me before I seal and wax my car tomorrow. I have some P21S because I don't plan on polishing my car this time around, but I am not sure what pad + speed I should use with the cleanser. I have a GG6 polisher, and white, orange, blue, and...

    Nanoskin Mitt How Sticky

    So I used my Nanoskin Mitt last weekend and I could definitely feel contaminants on the roof. That said, it's supposed to get sticky but just exactly how sticky? Should it feel tacky like tape? I rubbed it on my windshield for over a minute, and I didn't really notice a difference.

    Clearcoat Failing?

    Not really a detailing question, but I figured you guys would be able to answer my question. I had my hood repainted because someone decided to make very large dents in my hood. Is this clear coat failure? I know the bottom mark is an area where there's no paint at all because it's only...

    Did I sand through the clear?

    I was trying to do a touch up paint repair on a scratch, and unfortunately I think I sanded through the clear. It didn't seem that way while I was sanding the paint, but it looks pretty obvious after I polished. I'm confused though because the part in question still seems to reflect a little...

    Chemical Guys Lake Country Pads

    I just bought a Griot's 6" DA Polisher and picked up a Meguiar DBP5 backing plate to polish some scratches out of my car. I am buying a lot of stuff off of Amazon to save on shipping, and I see Chemical Guys have this pad called the Lake Country Cutting Pad. (LINK REMOVED) I see Lake Country...
