Thanks guys, so I'm guessing what I am describing is calling "dusting"? Also, as mentioned before, after every panel, I go to my pad washer, clean the pad, and then am ready to work on the next body panel. My question is, when working on a new panel, do I still have to prime the pad (spread the...

I cleaned the pad on my Pad Washer bucket before I used it. I am using Speed 6 (Max Speed on my PC). Every 2x2 section on the door I am spritzing it with water. Is Speed 6 too much?

Hey there guys, I am working on a friend's car, and I am using Menzerna FF3000 with an Orange LC Flat Pad. When I am polishing the door, occasionally there are little white balls that fly from the pad. Any ideas why this is happening? Should I be misting the pad after each section on a...

Bump, does anyone have any advice?

Happy Sunday everyone! I recently got the opportunity to work on a friend's STi that is a race-car. The car will be showcased at a local show and the engine bay will be displayed. I am going to be working on the engine bay tomorrow with the help of my steamer (VX5000), and I noticed yesterday...

I wasn't planning on having it CC'd after being polished. Never even considered that option to be honest. Will having it CC'd ruin the finish on it?

Thanks, I'm going to have a look at this! Thanks Prelude, I purchased it used from a '07 STi, but it'll fit my '13 STi. It's a shame that they went out of business; they are back but aren't making anywhere near as much products as they did before...such a shame :( Kk, thanks bamboo! Lol...

Hey there guys! It's been awhile since I've posted, but I recently acquired a Titanium Alternator Cover made by ARC. I purchased it used, and obviously it has some wear on it, but is still in obviously great condition! I am curious as to how I can get it looking brand new again, or as close to...

Hey guys, so I purchased the foam cannon a while back and it was probably one of my best and most favourite purchases for my detailing arsenal. So I purchased the attachment for my Karcher as found in this link. Amazon.com: Karcher Modular Series 2000PSI Electric Pressure Washer with 25-Foot...

These are great responses guys! I'm leaning more towards the leathermasters...also, what kind of brush do you guys recommend? (Boar's Hair)?

Hello everyone! I drive a 2013 Subaru STi and it is in fact the first car that I've ever owned with Alcantara, as well as the first car I have ever come in contact with Alcantara used in the car. I had a question about cleaning the alcantara. I normally just vacuum the seats every week, which...

Hey everyone, I have been eyeing the NanoSkin Autoscrub Towel for quite some time now, and I am ready to pull the trigger on it. I have a question regarding what lubricant I can use for this towel. I currently have NanoSkin Nano Shock Spray Lubricant Sealant. Would I be able to use this as a...

So to be safe on my car, I should make sure I apply plenty of clay lubricant and constant kneading of the clay bar? Do you recommend a good clay for a car that has extremely little paint contaminants, I am using the OTS mothers clay but I feel as though there is something much much better

Another thing guys is regarding mice from entering the vehicle. I have plastered the inside of my car with Bounce Dryer sheets so I am not worried at all about the interior, but I am nervous about the engine bay. Would putting Bounce Dryer sheets on the tires damage the tires? (Only reason for...

Well what happens for example if I am putting my car away for the winter and don't need to do a Paint Correction because my car is in great shape? Wouldn't I still need to clay the car to be able to Machine-apply a Sealant? Thanks!

Perfect, thanks for the link, I'm going to have a good read through it! So steel wool it is! Thanks That is very scary! I heard that putting dryer sheets into your car will prevent them from coming in as they hate the smell...I even heard putting moth balls in a sock and placing it in your...

Lol, I knew this question was coming :P It honestly is, but this car is like my "Ferrari" if you will. I want to keep it in pristine shape, as hopefully one day, I can get it in a magazine! To protect the car the day I bought it, I got the ENTIRE front-end of the car Avery Nano Fusion'd (which...

Hey there guys, I put my Subaru STi away for the winter, and to prevent against mice, I have been told to put something like steel wool or a shirt/sock filled with moth balls inside the exhaust. What is the best way to prevent mice from getting in my exhaust? (It is also a Greddy Quad tip, and...

Hey guys, so I recently just put my 2013 Subaru STi away for storage and did not consider a car cover as I am nervous of anything touching the paint. But due to possible dust issues, I felt I needed to get a car cover. I went with the Covercraft Dustop Custom Fit cover (which claims to be the...

Great job Ray, but how on earth did you do a paint correction in 7 hours? Was there anyone helping you out? Obviously you have plenty experience in the field, but personally, it takes me roughly 4 hours to perfectly wash the car, and maybe another hour to clay the vehicle
