Optimum No Rinse. A very popular rinseless wash concentrate on the forum. But good luck with the repairs! Should come out just as pristine as you were hoping.

I would say give it a try with the 1500 with just the scratch isolated with tape then work your way to 2500 while making the area a little larger with the finer grit. I'm no expert though, so wait for some other more experienced geeks to chime in. Good luck with it either way!

As a BMW fanatic, I must say you really brought that paint back to life! Better than new

Yes it can be done by hand. Purchase Megs Ultimate Compound. It is okay for use by hand, cheap, and can be easily found OTC. It should finish out well enough for your satisfaction as well.

That's only true to a point, with any product I believe. A cooler work surface is usually always easier to work with.

For me detailing is a hobby when its for my own car, a job for cars I don't care about, and obsession for those "point of interest cars" I get every now and then. I'm only 18 and using it to make some money before college, but I'm still addicted to the feeling of getting a dirty worn out car and...

A good aio is something good to always have

I doubt that using the same washer machine that has previously had fabric softener will have much of an effect on it. The water:fabric softener ratio is probably far diluted, and I'm not sure if any residues would get stuck to the washer machines walls since it is water soluble and will be...

Thanks for the input as well as trying to find the post. I'll do some looking for it as well as I'm curious to see it

Thank you! I appreciate it.

Good to know this stuff! I've always been curious about it. So does this mean, you could use lets say an aio or maybe m205 to remove light swirls multiple times a year without abrading away too much paint?

Thanks you! Even I was surprised at how much depth I was able to achieve with silver paint. I was just going for shine in the beginning

Hello everyone! I did a full paint correction on my 2001 e39 540i six speed. It was much needed and I took a few pictures along the way. Probably should have taken more before photos though. I'm starting my own detailing business this summer as a way to bring in some cash before going to...

I've used Griots long lasting tire dressing and got good results. It's only been a few weeks but it's held up and looks the same as it did when I first applied it.

well I'm glad to hear I wasn't just pulling it out of nowhere then hahah but come to think of it, cloudiness from layering never really made sense to me for a few reasons. -I've layered my car with various sealants/waxes and never experienced clouding -if I remember correctly from ap chem, the...

I'd agree with that, but my 3 step only worked on paint besides the windows, trim, and wheels (didn't touch interior) which may have only bitten off 2 hours out of the 13ish total. Not trying to sound arrogant or anything, I just think quality work takes quality time

sorry for the misinformation. I did some more research and I agree. Somewhere I must have gotten the wrong information or misinterpreted something when reading a thread. Probably read it from someone who didn't know (like me). I'm still pretty fresh to autogeek forum (as you can see with my...

Probably the most helpful thread i've read so far. Thank you very much!

I understand what you're saying, but I think the purpose of a quick detailer is to do a minor cleaning/dust off without building up those layers as said previously. because as I've heard (although never layered enough for it to happen to me), is that too many layers will cause cloudiness. I find...
