Thank you. I have not heard of Dr. Color chip but sounds exactly what I have been looking for. Using the dealer touch up paint bottles never turns out well other than a blob. I will try that and then a light buffing as suggested. Thanks again everyone for all the help!

Ok, so I will grab some orange lc 5.5 pads. How many do you typically need to do a car? Then griots correcting cream. Or should I use the fast correcting? Difference? Then can I just use a typical wax after? 845 maybe.

Looking for advice here. Just got a long scratch on the side of my challenger. Running my fingernail over it, it does not seem the catch (slight noise?). What I have: Gg 6" radom orbital 5 LC backing plate 5 inch lake county blue pads I think it should buff out but I have never really...

Thanks everyone. Great suggestions. For getting off the embedded spots, would something like Pinnacle Cleansing lotion be a good option? Or is going with an AIO/Polish the best approach? Sorry for being hesitant, just have never done it before and don't want to mess anything up.

Thanks everyone. It is a Dodge Caravan. I have used Ironx and while I can see it working, they never fully have gone away (Maybe I will need to try it multiple times or agitate it?). I have also tried using a clay bar with some success, but once again, not everything. When using a cleaner...

Cleaning a White Car Looking for advice on a 9 year old daily driver. Just got done washing and waxing our white daily driver this weekend in anticipation of winter. Put the usual coating of 845 on it. As I did I noticed more and more spots, smudges, etc. I have never used a cleaner wax or...

I am finally getting around to posting pictures of my work. Ended up with the following: GG6 6.5" Red Pad Griots Clay Blackhole Glaze Collonite (x2) I think it turned out good. Hid a lot of swirls while I get used to using the machine. I applied the wax using from a 1-2 on the dial. At...

OK, another question :) I added the Lake Country 5 inch backing plate to my cart and was going to add pads. Just not sure which ones. To apply 845 and potentially the Black Hole, would I use Blue? Black? I used a 6 inch red GG which worked with the 845 but if I am placing an order I might...

So this weekend I used the new GG6 on my wife’s White Journey. I used it to put a layer of 845 on it. It was so much easier, went on thinner and looked much better (At least to me it did). It did take a little getting used to but I felt much more comfortable halfway through the car. I wanted...

That is what I was fearing in that the coating failed...but last night I took a look a bit closer and with some detail spray and my fingernail I was able to "Scratch" a line in in to reveal the chrome behind it. So I guess I will just have to use the cleaner on it and agitate it some. If this...

Thanks everyone for the replies. Good to know the Megs Cleaner will do no harm. I will have to try it again. I think I will also pick up some cleaner wax and then top it. Hopefully that way I can go back to just washing for most of the time in between.

I was looking for some safe suggestions to clean my wheels. They are Chrome Clad wheels (Dodge Aluminum wheels with a chrome plastic outer). Up until this year they cleaned off just fine with soap and water. I noticed that after this winter though there appears to be some "grime" on them that...

Thanks everyone for the great responses. I went ahead and ordered the GG6 and a couple red waxing pads. Think I will pick up a pre wax cleaner like Pinacle as suggested. By summer I will probably get used to using it and try a correction. I live in the South suburbs near Orland Park and it...

Thanks everyone for the great advice (And for the chance to try it mrbtd). I know once I use it I will get over the feeling of doing any damage. Just that I have waxed my car by hand for so long without using any machine I just have to do it. Puckman, do you have any suggestions for a pre wax...

So we have made it through the long hard Chicago winter (OK maybe not such a bad winter this year). I am getting ready to really clean the car next weekend. I am looking to purchase my first DA and think I have decided on the GG6. Looks like good reviews and the warranty seems great. I would...
