    It was a breeze to apply w/my PC 7424XP and so was removing it.

    Collinite 845 Beading Pictures

    I find it strange that when it first started to rain, my beads were very small, tight and close. It then moved on to look like what I posted after the water sat for a while.

    Collinite 845 Beading Pictures

    So I got a chance to put a coat of Collinite 845 on a week ago. It was raining today so I snapped a few pics after it had stopped raining for a while. Car was way dusty before it rained due to the roads. Check out the beads clinging onto the bottom of the side view mirror! Let me...

    Collinite 845 - the "Rocky Balboa" of waxes

    I bought a bottle of Collinite 845 about 3 months ago. We've been having snow storms week after week this winter but finally, it's supposed to be 60 degrees tomorrow. I'm going to give my car a wash and a coat of Collinite 845 to test it out.

    Wow, that chart is helpful! There's Meg's 80 under light swirls.

    Which Pads to Get?

    Thanks a lot guys with the suggestions and input! It seems that 5.5" pads are the best route to go. As for the Meguiars 80 speed glaze I have, the bottle does say it has a number 4 cut and will remove light swirls. As for my car, it has light-moderate swirls each time I detail it per 6 months...

    Which Pads to Get?

    Hello guys, I am planning on ordering a Porter Cable 7424XP this week (Porter Cable 7424XP & Flat Pad Kit, Lake Country Flat 6.5 Inch Foam Pads, Porter Cable Pads) that comes with 5 pads I can choose. However, I don't know which pads to choose. I have always detailed my car by hand and always...

    White paint specs on my black car :(

    What do you guys think of Optimum All Purpose Cleaner diluted 3:1? I used Optimum's products before (ONR) and was thinking of giving the all purpose cleaner a shot. I am not going to use it on my new paint but on the rest of the car where the white spots are evident.

    White paint specs on my black car :(

    I believe the body shop told me a month? The paint is BASF Glasurit 2 stage base and clear. It's almost been one month.

    White paint specs on my black car :(

    Interesting about the car wash causing the specs. I really don't know how this stuff got on my paint but my best bet would be my college campus parking garage. It's very irritating knowing the specs are there. What type of clay bar would you suggest for a medium clay bar? I currently have the...

    White paint specs on my black car :(

    Thanks for the suggestions! Do you guys have any experience with the products you mentioned? I checked out both products, they seem pretty good. One other thing, the paint on my trunk and rear bumper is pretty new (got rear ended like a month ago), would it be ok to use those products on new...

    White paint specs on my black car :(

    Hey guys, I am new on this forum. I've been hand detailing my car since I have owned it and have never had any major issues with removing scratches/contaminants from the paint. On top of doing a full detail on my car every couple of months, wax every month, I always use Meguiars quik wax or...
