    Self Installed Water Spots

    All, My car had gotten caught in the rain so I ran outside to put it in the garage. Since the car was dirty at the time and still wet (unable to dry), I now have water spots all over the paint. The water spots attacked about a month AFTER I used sealant (HD Poxy). The car is normally garaged so...

    How to clean the Cobra drying towel?

    Just as the title states, what is the best way to clean my green Cobra drying towel? I have used it to dry for a couple of car washes and it needs to be cleaned. Anyway I can clean it by hand? Also, is it safe to throw into the dryer?

    Do I need to wash the car again before adding LSP?

    As soon as I was done polishing the car with HD Speed, it started to rain so I had to put the car in the garage. Unfortuneatly, I won't be able to seal the car with HD Poxy until this coming weekend. Since the garage isn't finished, the car gets coated in dust and other misc. particles. If I...

    Post-detailing procedure (dirty pads, dirty microfiber cloths, etc.)

    Hey guys, so I just finished correcting my cars' black paint, and now I am left with dirty polishing pads and microfiber clothes. I understand that many of you throw your dirty microfibers in the wash, but I simply do not have that many cloths to constitute a wash in the washer machine. As for...

    My first official detail! (Black 2015 Mustang GT)

    I just finished my very first official paint correction/detail on a black 2015 Mustang GT. This car is handwashed regularly and garaged, so the paint is in very good shape. Overall, I would say that 90% of the swirls are gone. My test spot of choice was the trunk decklid. I started out with a...

    Maintenance quick detailer for protection in between washes?

    All, I'll be doing my first paint correction soon (GG6, HD Speed, HD Poxy) as was wondering which soap and quick detailer I should purchase for paint protection/shine in between washes.

    Anyone familiar with "Spray Nine?"

    All, I found some "Spray Nine" multi-purpose cleaner in my household and was wondering if it is safe to use on the engine bay, or even possibly the wheels. There are obviously dedicated cleaners for these specific jobs, but I would like to find out here first, rather than try it on my own and...

    Detailing with only one pad

    I purchased a GG polisher kit, but only received one orange, white, and blue 6.5 inch pads. Can I get away with polishing my entire car (Mustang) with the one pad while cleaning it on the fly? I'll be using HD Speed and HD Poxy. I plan on trying out the white CCS pad first, and then stepping it...

    Polishing/Compound and clearcoat removal.

    It is to my understanding that a small amount of clearcoat/paint is removed during the polish/compound process. I also know that there are tools that are used to measure the thickness of the clearcoat layer. My question is: Generally, how many times can a car be polished or compounded safely...
