A co-worker of mine has a 1954 chevy pick-up, beautiful truck. The paint is need of some work. After washing it I plan to clay it, next step is where you guys come in. I want this paint to shine I mean SHINE! So what would be a good cleaner/polish thats not to abrasive as to not damage the 30 yr...

I used the orange pad and i even used a yellow pad, but i did the majority with the orange pad. I'm going to buy #3, use it then go to #2 and finish off with the xmt360 or klasse. I will also try the white pad. thanks.

Ok thank! Yeah I know it has some RIDS but im not really worried about those for now. But should i have used #1 before using the carnuba finishing glaze? Would that have made a better result?

I used the xmt swirl remover #2 and I was really happy with the results. The only thing now is that the deeper scratches are more visable. If i were to use XMT swirl remover #3 would I have to step down and use #2 then #1 and then the canuba? Like i said i used #2 then the carnuba and it looks...

I got some swirl x couple days ago, and looking forward to try it out. I'm sure some of you have used it, how is it compared to wolfgang tsr, or XMT intermidiate swirl remover # 3 and all the other products avaliable here @ AG. With so many products out there it gets alittle hard trying to...

I have a Dewalt Rotary buffer, and I'm trying to learn how to use it. I have the wool cutting pad that I've used with 3M perfect-it RC and with meguiars UC. A friend of mine gave me two black foam pads. I want to try them out, would those be for like swirl x and polish? And do I have to lube the...

As a beginner wanting to start detailing part time I have a couple questions. Trying to save some money, so I want to buy in bulk and I was thinking Meguiar's Detail line. I was planning to buy the X-press liquid wax and for that need more work, D151 then the X-press wax. Second question, is...

Sorry one more thing, I found Meguiar's Mirror Glaze 205 and Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion. Are these products good to use after claying and before sealing? I'd like to the cleaner and polish in one step before doing the wax or sealant.:work:

Thanks Mike!! I look forward to reading that article.:xyxthumbs:

Now sorry if i ask something thats already been answered but, like the Meguiar's 5 step process the second step says to clean (paint cleaner) and the third step says to polish and the wax? Im sure this has been asked many times so can someone send me a link to better understand what process...

That would be perfect I work in Irvine, thanks.:xyxthumbs:

Hello Sir, I was wondering if there were any classes like the Detailing 101 and 102 in the southern California that you would recommend. I would really like to attend one, like the one you guys have in FL. Thanks for any help.:props:

Sup everyone!! I'm new to the forum and very new to the detailing game! But I enjoy doing it, the satisfaction you get from making something look new again and or making it better. I live in the Apple Valley CA (born in Culver City) anybody from or around there hit me up! I look forward to...
