Ok, so dont take this the wrong way, but I am really glad to see these pics... As that's pretty much how must of my car looked. So I dont think this was something that I did wrong... I did however find a little trick and that was to basically lift the polisher not so much that it was not...

Could be my technique... This is my first time using a DA. Is there anything special that you need to when using a Nanoskin Pad, I used the same technique for polishing basically? I broke the pad in using the method on the box... I used a ton of lube as I did not want to have any issues... I did...

So as the title suggests I used a Nanoskin Fine Pad on my Black Volvo S60 and while it did smooth the paint it also marred the clear coat pretty good... Check out the pics here... https://imgur.com/a/dWnmU I used a griots 6 inch polisher and Chemical Guys Clay Luber.Did I do something wrong...

Do you have any pointers for doing a Volvo? I always see people talking about how hard or soft a given clear coat is however no one ever really says anything about Volvos, what has your experience been? I did not get any V34 as I really don't have any deep scratches on the car I mainly have...

I am going to use Chemical Guys V38 Final Polish and if I need it Chemical Guys V36 Cutting Polish.

So I am going to be polishing my Black 2013 Volvo S60 with a DA polisher this upcoming weekend. This will be the first time that I have polished this car since owning it and this will be the first time that I have ever used a DA polisher. Below I have listed at a high level the process that I am...

I believe Nitrile gloves have a higher level of chemical resistance as well.

Yeah, I cant really explain the whole Chemical Guys Obsession, lol... Guess I figured that I would give them a try and see what happens. They seem to make quality products so I decided to try them out.

Thank you. That is typo on my part I got V38 Final Polish and V36 Cutting Polish.

I had always been pretty OCD about keeping my car clean and looking good, but always felt that I was just not doing it the right way. So I decided to head to the internet and do so some research... Little did I know at the time how helpful the information on Autogeek would be!!! Thank you to...

Hi, Could not help but notice you username "SpringGrove" I also live in PA... By any chance does Spring Grove relate to the street that you live on? Spring Grove happens to be the street that I live on, that is why I am asking.

I like to go to Lowes and get a flat paving stone and use that... I find that it removes all of the hard mineral deposits and bugs very easily. LOL All joking aside I use a Chemical Guys Chenille Microfiber Wash Mitt.

Thanks for the tip, your method seems to make a lot more since. I was just curious on what your thoughts were in regards to the the QD as I see a lot of people suggest to use that.

Mike, Could you just use a quick detailer spray to soften it up and then wipe it off?

I have a Black 2013 Volvo S60... What I do is for my final rinse I remove the hose nozzle and just let the water freely flow onto the car this allows the water to just sheet right off of the car. If the wax you are using is decent most of the water should just roll right off of the car. Then I...

That is not correct, a lot of the structural integrity of the roof of your car comes from the windshield. The structural integrity of the window itself also plays a very large factor into the operation of your airbags. A lot of people don't realize this, this is one of the reasons why you really...

You may also need to use original equipment wipers... Reason for this is that in recent years car manufacturers finally realized that putting school bus sized windshields in cars was not a good idea for safety as it weakens the frame of the car by a good bit. However car companies are starting...

I use Rain-X on my side windows and rear windows only!!! The reason for this is that every time I have used these window treatments as soon as the wipers are turned on I get these "cloudy streaks" that make it impossible to see. However after doing an IPA wipe down and clay treatment on my...

I came up with a grading system that I use to divide my items up in 5 gallon buckets with lids on them. Grade A: Any item that I feel is safe to use on exterior paint/glass surfaces. I then have specific towels/items within this grade for drying the paint surface, for drying the windows, for...
