Hi All, Solid black car ( very soft paint ). As you imagine a nightmare to maintain and it’s also a daily. I have light swirls that appear, even with safe wash practice. I use poor boys black hole which I think is amazing, the amount it covers up is ridiculously good. I have corrected the...

Hi all, not sure what is going wrong here, was ok the first time I snow foamed. unfortunately, today when I snow foamed the car and left it sit I noticed quite bad drying marks + spots. left the foam to do its thing for 5 mins as usual. Any ideas? I guess the only difference snow foaming...

Hi All, Having a few problems with this one on a soft paint. No problem on any other car I’m detailing. The audi is a solid black finish and the paint is butter like soft. I am noticing small buffer trails/marks. I am using the rupes system, Mk2 15mm with either menzerna or rupes gel. I am...

Hi all, any ideas? See attached images. I bought this today and it's specifically fits karchar with the attachments. am I being a bit silly here? Or do I need to go back and get a different attachment ? thanks justin

Hi All, just St looking to discuss possible options. have a black Audi, solid ( very very soft paint ) - literally scratches and swirls when you blow on it, not that I blow on my car as that would be a bit odd ☺️ Actually told my friend off the other week for touching my door and b pillar, I...

Hi all, just got my new Rupes mk2 ( 15mm ) seem to to be having big issues with buffer trail. Even on a flatish surface. any advice? On a totally flat surface the results are insanely good. Jaw dropping in fact. i ended up using my Torq 10fx with a 4 pad and it more or less sorted the...

So I don't know what many people think about this but going to put it out there as haven't seen it on the forums yet. how do you all wash your cars? I have a black Audi ( solid ) which has incredibly soft paint, although it's a daily and I accept it won't be perfect I try my best. i have...

Touched on this a bit on a previous post but cannot find it now. decided to buy a new polisher to replace my old one. Got the torq 10fx, which I feel is struggling to cut harder paint especially on my black Audi. only going to buy one of the above. Can you do a whole car with the mk 15mm throw...

Hi all, looking for detailing space, always a pain in the uk with crappy weather. also at the moment just using the drive, would prefer to be inside. dows anyone know if any suitable/ good solutions? All I need is power, can wash the car at home. have seen these guys but I wonder if my loud...

I have been contemplating changing my polisher for a while now. Currently I have the Torq 10fx which has got the job done however I have been tempted by the rupes. With experience, does anyone know the sort of difference between the two? looking at getting the Rupes MK2 15mm throw, is it a...

Sorry another dumb question. I just ordered a new paint gauge. Which measures in um ( micrometres ) as as a rule of thumb how much clear coat generally do you have to work with? for example I have a 2015 solid black Audi, has had a bit of correction, so some cutting. also do paint gauges...

Going to be detailing my mums racing green Jag XF. does anyone have any experience with this colour, i.e. Is it particularly difficult to cut? ( the car is a 2010 and the paint is looking rather flat ) also see attached, any ideas what this is ? I think it has been on the car for a while , a...

So just finished with my new sealant. as I have a solid black colour used it will poorboys black hole, which of course was done prior to sealing the paint. decided to go for Zaino Z-2 for my sealant, it was incredibly good. previously used jetseal109 which now feels like a bit of a rip off...

Hi all, Hope you are keeping busy detailing. My daily is done now, corrected, glazed and sealed. Quick one, have adopted a two weekly wash. 1 wash normal without spray wax, then 2 weeks later wash with spray wax. ( although raining all the time currently, my car is just ridiculously...

Quite curious about this one. i guess it also depends where you live. I am keen to maintain my sealant and wax as much as I possibly can. I use ph neutral shampoo from autofinesse, lambs wool mitt and two drying towels that I dab and blot to dry, no swiping. Tend to wash my car every 3-4 weeks...

Side view from the Audi. Great clarity and results. only really had very light swirls so no need for compounds. Only two years old. Items Used Torq 10FX DA Polisher Meguires clay bar Menzerna 2200 - medium cut polish with orange hex pads Menzerna 3800 - finishing polish with white hex pads...

Hi all, Just a quick one re a specific product. Poor boys black hole.. i bought some... I have to admit the results are truely stunning. i used two layers one after the other and then did my usual with two layers of the wonderful jet seal 109. my questions are a) how long do you suspect...

Hi Experts Car was first washed and clayed the panels I polished. So this was the first weekend I started using my DA polisher ( torq 10fx ). I started with a test patch which was fine. Long story short I was using v36 and orange hex pads, v38 white hex pads and jet seal 109 with red pads. I...
