what steps do I need to do consecutively? I mean if I don't do the steps consecutively I can't take the car out of the garage can I? Since I will use Iron-x and then clay detail the car, it will not be smart if I take the car outside for a spin just like any other day and the next day do a polish.

I would go for the PC7424XP but unfortunately I live in Europe and as I read I have to have a transformer....so I am looking for something I can use in Europe...

Hello, since I am going deeper and deeper in to detailing, as I read through the forum, I was thinking of making the effort to go all the way and buy a polishing machine as well. Question is, this is my first attempt at detailing so do I go by hand or with a DA polisher? If I go with DA...

Thank you everyone for you answers! As Mike Phillips said in earlier posts, after a compound its good to polish and I will go by his word. My question now is: Do I compound the whole car and then polish the whole car OR to I compound the etchings and some scratches and then polish the whole...

Thanks Mike this is so informative. The compound that I will use for the etchings, can I use for the swirls as well to do the whole car? Since I am a beginner I thought I would use a foam and Meguair's UC. Then go for the polish. Do you agree with this? Thanks again!

My car is a Volvo S40 balck metallic paint...what is an iron decon?

Hello, I am getting into the passion of car detailing and I would like to understand the whole process of detailing my car for the first time. I will do this by hand with help from friends. This is what I think and please correct me: 1. Wash 2. Clay detailing 3. Remove small scratches and...

Thanks everyone for your answers. Mike I have already read your excellent posts and I do understand the logic to start with the less aggressive product. As I see things a polish will not do the job so I will go to Meguiar's UC or Meguair's 105 and a something to rub it on by hand. 1. Should I...

I am trying to take a picture of the stains but I can get them to show in the picture :) I will try again later....what is a gsm? what does 350gsm mean?

Hi, I have read through the forum and observed that the way to fix the etching in the paint is to use a compound. I have a Volvo S40 back metallic paint. I have no machine so I will do everything by hand. As I understand, is Meguiar's Ultimate Compound the best solution for my situation? If...
