I am doing a buddys Tundra(Dark green). It doesnt really have much swirling, but has a couple of minor scratches. I have never done a Toyota, and the only polish I have is XMT360. Will the 360 and an orange pad do the trick?

I respect the fact that this site belongs to AG and they are free to as they wish, but this policy bothers me. I feel it hurts an otherwise excellent site and should be amended. I know I will be bashed for this, but that doesnt change my feelings. YMMV. I think AG is going over the top on...

Guys, I am having trouble getting these pics posted. Photobucket is mt host. What is the process? Here is a link until I can figure out how to post. I am not much of a photographer, hopefully you can see the flaws. There are little starburst looking flaws as well as some others. They almost seem...

Guys, I am just getting into this and need to add to the arsenal. Other than some OTC stuff, I have XMT 360, pad cleaner and conditioner to go along with LC orange, white, black and wool pads. I use these with my Makita 6040. I also have both mothers and megs clay kits. I am not real impressed...

I am a relative newb to swirl removal. I have been using XMT360 on an orange LC pad with my Makita 6040. It has made every vehicle I have done look great, even without wax. And it seems to really last, as my Ram is just as shiny today as it was the day I did it, probably a month ago. But it...

I am doing a late model Jeep Wrangler for a good friend and want it to look awesome, so I am seeking advide from the experts. It is an exterior only and I have the following tools/products. Makita 6040, Random orbital and/or forced rotary. LC orange, white and black pads as well as wool. XMT...

I need several items and was wondering if there are any upcoming sales. I need some clay to replace mine that came in a Mothers clay kit. It is too small and getting pretty dirty. I also would like a quality interior dressing, thinking about 303 or something else, any tips? Want a general...

i have an older glastron with an overall great finish. the problem is on the front of the boat. The portion of the bow that faces upward is totally flat, dull and kind of chalky looking. Appears to be moderate/severe oxidation. This will be my first time with the buffer. I have a Makita 6040. It...

I used a light cutting compound(TW) on my Mazda. The drivers door and front fender were faded and not as shiny as the rest of the car, after applying the compound with my Makita in random orbital mode it was then shiny as the rest of the car. But a couple of weeks later the two panels appear to...

I applied a coat of 360 to my Ram and it looks pretty good. Is it necessary to wax afterwards, or optional? Is it already sufficiently protected? I want to know if wax will add to the looks AND the level of protection.

Guys, I am sort of a newb and want to make my Ram look its best. It only has 20K so paint is good. I am going to list what I have and you guys tell me what the best process would be get THE look. I currently have XMT360(on the way), clay bar/lube, and a car wash. I am not opposed to buying...

I am just getting into detailing and am using my work car as a practice vehicle prior to getting to my pride and joy vehicle. I am presently using TW rubbing compound(until my AG order gets here next week) on the hood of my black Maz 626. AFTER compounding I am noticing very small little...

I think thats what they call them. A couple of months ago I bought one to clean some FILTHY wheels on a T bucket I bought to resell. It cleaned them pretty well but it got filthy in the process. The whole bottom half of the ball went from red to black. I Then put it away and forgot about it till...

My Ram has the 20" Chrome clad wheels. I have been using the Nevr Dull stuff on them and they look pretty good. I am wondering what others use on these wheels and if they are getting better results.

I have an 06 Hemi Ram Quad Cab. It is a Khaki color (think Bronze), very pretty. I have looked it over and cannot find any swirls or scratches. I am getting ready to fully detail it. What would be the proper process? I have some XMT 360 on the way, as well as several other waxes, (dont laugh...

Guys, I am not a professional detailer so I dont need tons of specialized products. I want to be able to correct the paint on my daily driver, and a moderately oxidized boat. I also want to be able to keep both of these as well as my near new Dodge Ram looking great. Are there a couple of...

Alright guys, received my order. 6.5" orange pad, 6.5 white pad, 6.5 black pad and 6.5 wool pad. These are the hook and loop pads for use with my Makita 6040. This is my first real buffer. I would like opinions on how best to approach 2 projects. First, my 97 Mazda 626, black. Paint is pretty...

I am having trouble finding much info on this buffer. I am trying to get an idea of the best pads to use with it, as it is my first real buffer. Any of you more experienced guys have any general info on this buffer specifically?

I wish I had found this site sooner, as I just ordered my first real buffer. I ordered the Makita b06040. I bought it because my random orbital buffer wouldnt take the heavy oxidation off the gelcoat of a recently acquired boat. Did I get a pretty good buffer or should I send it back and get the...
