Good points, I do prefer one step but I also don't see a point in one step if your objective is to deal with one specific problem. I can see flaws if they are obvious, if they aren't I'm not going to see them and don't care plus I can't always see them that well. I have a Camaro that isn't a...

Cool :) didn't know about the ebook; I'll get that too. Experience makes practice better. I've known bits here and there and gradually got into different phases of car washing as I got more comfortable with what I was doing, etc.

Alright got it :) now I just need to order the stuff

when doing the eraser process do I use the nanoskin/claybar or do I use microfiber? I see that claying/nanoskin is the step BEFORE doing the eraser so hence I'm asking.

I've tried all the typical remedies; vinegar wouldn't do it, nothing would and then I got duragloss 755 it does a hellva job for the most part but it still leaves a lot to be desired even after polishing the window a few times over. I'd rather go for a waterless rinseless option, I don't wash...

Nanoskin replaces the claybar? Hmm ok good to know, too bad I already bought the clay but you're right I can't imagine claying the truck its huge. So I should probably use m205 and a light cutting or light finishing pad since neither of my vehicles would have major imperfections; for a vehicle...

you're right I suppose not; that makes sense I didn't think about that till you mentioned it meguiars suggested I use quick detailer to lubricate the surface being clayed but it couldn't hurt to let the water stay on the surface since the polish is going to take the water spots off hopefully.

Ah ok I see, once you've done the paint correction (using eraser/rubbing alcohol) claying should never be done again until I'm ready to repeat the whole process... got it. I also have a Camaro so I figured claying would be suitable for both vehicles; what's the difference between clay and nano...

Is carpro the only eraser to get? So how is it supposed to be done? Wash the vehicle strip lsp with an eraser compound/clay? then use m205 erase & clay again? then wax? I'm thinking I may wait a couple more weeks before I do a wax job but I plan to use a synthetic wax then a...

actually I see 105 is tougher than 205 if I use 105 do I need to use dawn dish soap to remove the wax layer and then do 105 then clay then wax it again? (not on the windows obviously, but on the paint/chrome-flux-plastic). And for my yearly waxing should I do the same? Remove with dish soap...

Just looked at the meguiars hard water spot remover, says it works with paint, glass, hard plastic, etc but it IS acidic... I'm not so sure I want to put acid on plastic. the chrome is flux/plastic at least until I get a different grille (the replacement is $800 for the one I really want, but...

When I was looking to get an acidic wash for the windows I couldn't find any and I kept reading about how dangerous it was to use professional acidic wash systems and all that crap (well duh!) and I didn't know that meguiars had it cuz they are my favorite brand to use its simple, easy, etc...

It gets hot here during the summer, everybody says wash the vehicle in the shade which of course is common sense; during certain times of the day its hard to park in the shade as there's no room it'd be literally hugging the outside wall of my house. Also I find that I can see details better in...

I noticed the DA machine does take a little more effort and for good reason; I'm not comfortable with rotaries since its much easier to burn the paint or material you're working I don't mind if it takes longer but I kinda wished the DA would go a little faster than what I've got it doesn't seem...

Will have to; I'll head over to Marine 31 to get more refined answers, not that you guys don't have good answers they're awesome :) I should consider getting one of the other products M105/205 for my automotive needs since that's what I do more of; but this is my first time doing a boat (well...

Ok so I'm a little confused; I realize that 105 and 205 are superb stuff, but it doesn't say its for marine use and really I haven't thought about using this stuff on my vehicles. I only have waxes right now I don't even have any compounds for doing my autos yet. I just learned that I might...

So at least I got the general idea that wool is to be used; these LC purple wool pads are not as common yet easily found unlike the foam pads. Is there a reason to use wool instead of foam heavy cut pads?

:props: yep I've seen that link, I'll head over there too :)

never heard of a surbuf pad; so a LC finishing pad would work? And what kind of polish since I'm planning on using a meguiars one step polish? (I guess I should look for some kind of finishing polish for the gelcoat then)

I haven't gotten an answer on my last thread in the OT area about a couple questions I have but so far some have been very helpful :props:; this forum section is in an odd place as its in "brand specific forums" but ok its here and it works. I know what products to get as far as liquids...
