    Questions and Concerns on 1st Detail

    Ok, so have a good size order coming my way. Ended up with the GG 6" 3rd Gen, 3 LC CCS orange pads, 4 LC Hydro Tech Tangerine pads, 2 Hydro Cyan, and 1 CCS blue pad. Made sure to get the 5" backplate and all my pads are 5.5". Picked up few new MF towels, MF detergent, and pad cleaning...

    Questions and Concerns on 1st Detail

    Great post Tony! Really appreciate all the feedback and suggestions so far. I've already "caught the bug" and foresee myself spending a lot more time (and money) here at Autogeek! Nothing quite like detailing my first brand new car, looking forward to taking it to the next step and getting...

    Questions and Concerns on 1st Detail

    I'm in Bozeman, MT. Not many options for detailers, but I'll see what I can find out. I can't imagine it's that difficult to figure it out on my own, suppose I can't hurt anything if I start out with a mild polish.

    Questions and Concerns on 1st Detail

    Right. Any thoughts on where/what to start with? White pad with M205? Wolf? Pinnacle? I'm stuck on what polishes and/or compounds I should be buying. Also, am I doing the right thing by buying the GG6" with 5" backplate and 5.5" pads? Also, white and orange pads get the job done?

    Questions and Concerns on 1st Detail

    Quick question, seeings as I don't have any serious correcting to do, should I skip the compound and just use a polish/white pad (assuming that gives the results I want on my test spot) I don't want to buy a load of orange pads if I don't have too, and don't want to screw up my brand new cars...

    Questions and Concerns on 1st Detail

    It's def. part of the issue, but I can still see numerous swirls/fine scratches in the sunlight, but I've most certainly used a bit too much Klasse and it's left a residue/streaking. I'm placing an order shortly for my DA Polisher/Pads and will use Dawn to strip the existing wax/sealant off...

    Questions and Concerns on 1st Detail

    Thanks guys! Really appreciate the help! I'm probably going to grab one of the kits that Evan suggested earlier, and will def. grab extra pads! So seeings as my paint it brand new, and only has (what I'd assume is) minor scratches, would I just want to stick with orange and white pads for...

    Questions and Concerns on 1st Detail

    Thanks Evan, Perhaps applying the Klasse AIO/Sealant by hand was my first mistake. I may have been a bit too aggressive with my buffing as well. So would you recommend using the GG6" (and possibly 3") for all future Klasse AIO applications? Wonder if I should use the machine for everything...

    Questions and Concerns on 1st Detail

    So I spend the weekend detailing my brand new red FR-S, and while everything seemed to go smoothy, I seem to have done more harm than good :( After rolling it out into the sun this morning, I notice I have FAR more swirls/light scratches than when I started. I washed using the two bucket...

    Questions regarding Llumar film

    Thanks Bob! I was a bit dissapointed to find out he used Llumar instead of XPEL, but not much can be done about it now. I'll take your advice and pick up some of Premier or XPEL PPF products. Since the Llumar is fairly easy to scratch, are there any products that can be used to buff/polish...

    Questions regarding Llumar film

    Hello from Montana! I just purchased my first brand new vehicle, and am stepping up my game on detailing. I ended up ordering the Forum Faborite Kit (Klasse sealant/polish + Pinnicle Sov.) Anyway, I ended up getting clear bra applied, and has originally though it was XPEL PPF, but turns out...
