Just got the UQD at my local auto store. Looks very good. Even smells good too. -Eugene

Thanks all for the great info! I do have PC, Flex, 3" backing plate and 4 " LC pads, so I should be all set to try it out. I just was not sure if going over the curved lines was the way to do it, but, it sounds like using DA with the small bp/pad should do the trick. Best regards, -Eugene

Greetings, What are some of the most hydrophobic detailing sprays out there? -Eugene

Greetings, Some cars, Jeep for example, have those large curved fenders above the wheels. How should those be handled when doing paint correction? -Eugene

Cool. I'll order one. thanks! -Eugene

Wow! What a difference! Went out to a local Auto Zone and gotten Meg's Ultimate Compound and Meg's Ultimate Polisher, as recommended here. Used the compound with the LC Orange pad and then used the Polisher with LC white pad. Result - no haze, no marring! I did have to experiment a little with...

What pads should be a good combination for each product?

Super! I'll pick them up and try them today. Thanks! -Eugene

You are correct - I picked what was available in a local store. Could you make a recommendation, which would work for my black C300 (the products and the order of using them)? -Eugene

I only picked Mequiar's because it was available in my local O'reilly / AutoZone stores. At this point, I would really like to have any combination, that gives my high gloss at the end. I'm just starting with detailing, and I do not have any favorites yet. Please, feel free to make your specific...

Greetings! Seeking an expert advise on combating haze and micro marring. For my very first detailing project I have my black Mercedes Benz C300 - year 2008. My goal is to elevate the paintwork from mildly neglected to excellent. I chose my test spot to be on the horizontal panel of the trunk...

All good points! I have not done any major corrections yet, so I was asking to see if that was a good idea. Sounds like it is not. Thank everyone for such a quick answers! -Eugene

Greetings! Recently I had a conversation with CarPro about pre-work, required before applying Cquartz. One of the suggested finishing steps was to wipe the car's paintwork with a diluted isopropyl alcohol mixture. The CarPpro person has mentioned, that doing this will safely soften the paint for...

Thanks! I will post after having done a test spot. -Eugene

My C300 is black. I currently have 2 Meguiars Mirror Glaze polishers: one is graded from 0 to 3 and another is from 0 to 5. So, my thinking was (at this point I have no experience) to start with 0-5 and then chase it with 0-3. Does this make any sense? -Eugene

Thanks, Setec Astronomy! I will follow your advise. -Eugene

Greetings! If I'm using a medium strength polisher to remove medium swirls, should I always chase it with the finer one to improve the paint leveling? -Eugene

Greetings! Tomorrow I will attempt to remove swirls and scratches on my black MB C300. I have noticed, that the bumpers there are made of plastic (and painted the same as the rest of the body). I was wandering if it is any different process to remove scratches from the painted plastic surfaces...

Greetings! Eugene Goldberg - just joined in from Chicago. I'm a senior IT professional, who is trying to establish the art of detailing as a new hobby. Doings things in a real (physical, as oppose to virtual) world is a fun way for me to switch my brain off computers. Besides, caring for my cars...
