Hi Guys, and Mike - I spilled an entire bottle of quick-detailer/clay lube into the back of my car and it soaked right through the back seat fabric into the foam. I took the ENTIRE back seat out and I tried my best to rinse it out as best as I could and air dry it. The back seats have been...

Anyone else? I'm picking up a mf cut pad and chem guys v32 tomorrow and if that doesn't "cut it" lol... Then 2000/3000 and mf+m105 it is.

I am using generic pads from a supplier here in Ontario, Canada. It's their own house brand which blue is Cut and orange is Polish/Finish. I am starting to think that I didn't apply the correct amount of product to the pad/technique to the work.

Hi guys, so I know this thread is old but I wanted to say that I tried two steps... Step #1 CUT with a blue cutting pad and Meguiar's Ultimate Compound Step #2 POLISH with an orange finishing/polishing pad + Meguiar's Ultimate Polish The paint basically looks no different than before (maybe...

They absolutely were, so I hope that you use that expertise to keep helping others because if they're anything like me, they will appreciate it. So thanks! I'll be contacting the service manager, Ryan, on Monday to set up an appointment to take a look at the problem(s). I'll keep the thread...

Special thanks to this guy for nudging me to call my dealership. Without this comment I would have gone insurance and paid out of pocket!! :)

Mike and everyone else; I sincerely appreciate all of the opinions. I've learned tons from this place thus far. With that knowledge, I've now gone out and purchased a Porter Cable 7424XP and am going to either get a sample (32oz.) bottle of Meg's M205 Ultra Finishing Polish, or the consumer...

Yeah, I'm having a frustrating time deciding what the heck to do about this. I'm thinking I'll just go to the best Auto Body Paint shop around and have my insurance handle the dent/chip and repaint the clear while they're at it.

Well, I've contacted Guelph City Mazda (the dealership I purchase the car from in Guelph, Ontario) and I've contacted Mazda head office to bi*** about this experience and how I got taken advantage of because of my ignorance surrounding the issue. Basically, I'm hoping they will rectify this...

This makes me very sad. It's a helpful post, but I'm most certainly pretty pissed off at this point. I suppose there is nothing I can do now. :( Thank you for the information. I hope other people that read this catch it in time.

Would you kind folks, in your expert-opinions, say that this is a problem that buffing could restore?

Thanks to you and Mike for the prompt replies. Also, since I've now a dent/chip, I'm debating whether to just get paintless dent repair done, and buff out the hood myself, or just go through my insurance to have the hood repainted. It's a tough choice! Thanks again.

I can't remember exactly... however, definitely between 3-7 days. Mother's FX Synwax.

Hey guys, I'm still relatively new here so please bear with me :) (thank you!) This might turn out to be a longer question so I just want everyone to know that I really appreciate any knowledge you can share. So here goes. I drive a 2014 Mazda 3 Sport GS (Canadian trim level). Rewind about...

Sorry to revive this thread; however, I do have a question in regards to the SwirlX product. Is a cutting pad enough for the final step of SwirlX or should I consider a polishing pad with SwirlX after using the cutting pad with SwirlX? My apologies mates, but I am new to the whole DA system...

Anyone else have any input on this subject??

No no that's okay. These things happen :) But yeah, you can definitely see where I'm coming from now. I think I'll try the Wen out. Seems like it has pretty decent reviews. Thanks guys

Hey all, I've found a reasonably priced random orbital buffer for about $115 CAD. Seems to be a well-priced alternative to Meguiars, Porter Cable, Flex and Griot's Garage. Anyone have any experience with this machine? Do you know if it would be worth spending the extra $80 to get a Porter...

where are you located? I have seen many members offer their assistance Nice Mazda, I have the 2013 sport (wish I had the 14). Check out the article by Mike that he posted up there, will def help you! Thanks for the tips. I am in Guelph, Ontario. And thank you! I love my new baby. Had an...

Oh ... I almost forgot! One last question. I've been reading a lot that you MUST use a DA to polish... But if, say, one has not the budget to purchase one, what method may one employ to obtain satisfactory results by hand? Cheers! Sent from my XT1058 using AG Online
