It's hard to keep up with stuff as a personal consumer. I do one or two car a year... By the time I'm ready to do another car so many things have come out. I feel this is the case here lol Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

You sound like me... LMAO

Hey guys, So I accidently bought the pf 4/6 today for my Flex DA. I meant to get the ex 4/6... Ugh. Lol... That being said, I read the differences and from what I can see, ex is designed for DA polishers... What makes it "better suited" for DA? I don't understand... Also I read pf had some...

Well that sucks. This is what you get for trying to read up in the car. I got the perfect finish l, but I meant to get the ex one for my DA... Ugh [emoji35] Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I just Googled the sonax 4/6. I think I'll give that a try... I'm actually going there to get the sonax wheel sealant lol. I've always liked German stuff. Should work well with thr hybrid force orange pads and the flex. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I consider that an "all in one". I believe 1 step is a surface prep that is done in 1 step. As in you don't need correcting compound followed by finishing compound (2 step). A DAT would be a 1 step I'd think. That's why I explained what I was referring to. Everyone call them sometbing else...

Yeah that's the one... No wonder I couldn't find it. imo it's a little too strong for a one off. Leaves little haze that needs to be finished off with something else. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Their website says - An Isopropyl Alcohol based solution to remove any existing residues or surface contaminants left behind during the polishing process. This product is to be used before applying a coating. Special lubricated formula infused with 30% IPA concentration It's tough to pay 12...

yeah, I figured I wipe the car down with 70-30 alcohol when I'm done before putting on coating.

Hey guys, I'm going to head to the autogeek warehouse tomorrow to pick up a couple things. While I'm there, I want to also pick up a one step polish. I want something that'll do general polishing without any protectants because I will be following it with a ceramic coating. I have McGee's 37...

So what's a good 1 step? I'll ask here isntead of making a new thread. Got a new (to me) '15 X5, which is in good shape. Just want to correct paint then use my ceramic coating after. I might have some McGee's Fast polish left which will probably do the trick, but I don't know if it's enough so...

Thanks guys! I noticed people use APC to clean dirt off leather. It sounds real harsh to me. I have some leather/upholstery cleaner I'll use. It's really not that bad so... that being said, I know what you mean about "going at it". I did this with our last vehicle (nissan pathfinder) and ended...

Hey guys, We just purchased a 2015 BMW X5 and the car is in very good condition. The leather on the seats is also in pretty good condition. The steering wheel has that typical "used car" shine on the steering wheel that all wheels eventually get... any suggestions on safely bringing back that...

Lots of votes for that D156! Looks like BF midnight sun is runner up... I'll check them out. Plan is to apply when car is wet after 2 bucket wash or while doing a rinseless/waterless wash. Practically just a maintenance wax for extra protection. I did want to apply wet and it seems like the BF...

McKees' 37 360 AIO. I don't thikn AIOs perform well, but if it works for your car, this thing comes off as you buff out the polish. towards your 3rd 4th pass, you can't even see it anymore! it's gone! not much left to wipe off. lol

I've had C5 Z06 and it had pretty hard paint. I recently purchased a 2011 CL550 and the paint was in great condition with the exception of years of carwash swirlmarks. That car has some pretty hard paint too. I tried McKee's 37 AIO and it didn't do anything to the paint (I don't like the...

Hey guys, What's everyone using for spray wax these days? I have the Adam's H2O guard and I really like the product, but I'm looking for something little simpler. I want to mist the panel and then just dry it and more to next panel. I have McKee's 37 products, so I was thinking maybe just...

So I'm detailing the CL550 today and started out with an orange hybrid and 360. The thing barely cleans up water spot etchings. I tried compound and orange and didn't fair much better. Scratching my head, I tried the grey pad and fast compound (mckee's 37). It did little better, but it didn't...

I always wash first then use nanoskin mitt. Think about it like this. even though the "soap" lifts the dirt off the paint, what about the embeded ones that need to be freed with a sponge? with the mitt, you are going to just drag them across the surface. At least that's how I thikn about it. I...

Lately, I'd have to say nanoskin clay thingies. I did a maintenance polish using Mckee's 37 Jeweling wax this past week on the vette and I pulled out the good ol' claybar. After realizing it wasn't doing the work my nanoskin fine mitt was doing, I put the clay bar away and picked up my new...
