Production work is a quick wash and wax and wheels, maybe a quickie in the interior too. High end is every accessible survace is cleaned, deconed, corrected if needed or wanted, and an LSP applied to protect some.

After you decon, try Megs Ultimate Polish with a black pad. If that doesn't help, try Megs Ultimate Compound with a white or orange pad, then Polish. Hard to mess paint up with these...

I've never used nanoskin before...my go to clay is Ricardo yellow though....but if you can't get your hand on that stuff, I've heard good things about the meguiars clay they sell in the stores, though I've never used it... If you like the nanoskin though, go for it.:dblthumb2:

KAIO is non abrasive, so, if you test with a non-abrasive pad you can find out what works best for you.

I know a few other members have already suggested that it's a mechanical issue. I would get it checked out... If this is a mechanical problem, treating the windshield with anything in an attempt to remedy is an absolute waste of time(a psychological band-aid). This is a really new car too...

Talk about digging up an old thread! I use UIGP almost exclusively after I aquired some...

The windshield has to be crazy clean before you apply any kind of sealant to it. Crazy clean as in the only thing the sealant touches is glass. No residue, condensation, or any other kinds of films can be present. Not to mention the psychrometry outside and on the glass surface must be at...

This is interesting, I didn't even thing about body repairs. If this is the case, they really half-assed sanding down the bondo or fiberglass or whatever they used.... If this is the case and the paint is not the problem, then I will have to recommend Smack's suggestion unless you have...

I know they can make a bigger difference over non-machine methods. However, after working in an industry that involved cleaning upholstery and carpets on a regular basis, and having an opportunity not only to talk with a subject matter expert, but to work with this individual for a longer than...

For some reason I just don't have faith that these small spot cleaners will clean at appropriate temperatures or thoroughly rinse out the cleaner from the carpet. But to each their own I suppose.

Of course, if these are waves (varying paint depths) in the paint, you can compound and polish the waves all day, or until you are out of clear, but all you will do is make the waves shinier and swirl free. :) I'm almost thinking that the paint will have to be leveled out, as from what is...

Looks like some bad compounding. Diesel and a torch should get rid of it for sure, but I'm sure there are much more affordable fixes.

The fact that there are 'Muricans' who are getting all butthurt about something so subjective and trivial propounds that perhaps 'Murica' isn't what it used to be.

I don't watch TV.

P21s Concours. Freshly waxed 'wet' look for a few weeks, then I get to do it all over again....if and when I have time that is........

Sorry I haven't been around Bob. I had some things come up a while back, then employment opportunities changed a bit, then changed again....put in a lot of hours in the last eight months....and now I am inbetween opportunities. Hopefully for a very short period of time.:xyxthumbs: Good to see...

Bills....damnit. Miracle I even got a refund this year. Im the MAN

Alex, what is up Home-Skillet? Get your ass on here or something!! :thumbs:

Dawn works OK, I used to love it. After using Citrus Wash, I've stopped using Dawn for prep washes. Dawn just seems old fashioned to me now. That being noted, if you like dish soap for prep washes, use what you like. But I highly recommend trying Citrus Wash or a similar product at some point...

Go by Al's measurement. BTBM is one of those products that grows on you the more you detail with it. Especially when using it on a well maintained finish. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/37679-review-born-mild-car-shampoo.html
