    Wax over a paint sealant??

    dre, yes, you can put wax over the sealant. If you're looking to use a wax for the winter time i've heard that collinite 845 is a great wax. Judging by your avatar, your car is black. This will make your paint nice and glossy during the winter months. Sorry I can't speak yet regarding the...

    Wheel Repair Products

    Hello, I have an Infiniti G35 with some curb rash on my factory wheels. Does anyone out there know if Wurth wheel products are only good for European made wheels? I'm hoping it will work for the Japanese cars as well. TIA for the feedback! Ryan Infinite1

    How many MF towels do you use?

    Thanks for the input guys! WOW, i'm a really below standards on using towels. I apologize I think I used the word "detail" very loosely. I was meaning the process when you apply/remove polish/sealant with your PC. :o Nonetheless very good advice and information came out of it. Thanks again...

    How many MF towels do you use?

    Hey everybody! Just wanted to get an idea of how many towels you all go through during a detail. Since I used my PC for the first time recently I used about 4 MF towels during the entire process. Is that too many towels used or not enough? I'm afraid of being counter productive in my detailing...

    XMT dusting up?

    Thanks for the tip! I was following what was said in the videos posted on AG. Using a quarter-sized amount and all. But I thought if you used so little it may "dry buff" and create more swirls. As I didn't finish my polishing last sunday (as if 9hrs wasn't enough!) I'll work on my A-pillars...

    XMT dusting up?

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I thought I was doing something wrong or didn't mist the pad enough. I was thinking about using optimum but opted for XMT as I'm a beginner. But it's worked very well just makes more of a cleanup though...heheh

    Car Covers...

    Has anyone with their car covers experienced light smudges or streaks after taking their cover off? While it's not too much of a problem, i've noticed some on my window and parts of the hood (Sorry no pics). It looks like streaked wax, which can be easily wiped off with an MF. i'm wondering if...

    XMT dusting up?

    Hello all, I did my first detail this past weekend and had a question about the XMT line. As it states in the subject line, I experienced a lot of dust from using XMT #1,2. Is that normal? I made sure to spray the pads with some water and used a nail brush to remove any excess from the previous...

    Clay or not to clay?

    Wow! Thanks for the quick reply! The type of clay i'm using Meg's detailing clay bar. You're right on the money on what i was thinking. I guess since i've already finished the front bumber there's not much I can do now. I'll use a fresh piece for the rest of the car. As of right now I can't...

    Clay or not to clay?

    Hello all! Just had a quick question. The front bumper of my car (04 G35 Coupe) has some rock chips and a bit of parking curb rash on the bottom. I was wondering if it was ok for me to clay? I figure since clay picks up a lot, that may be the last time I can use it. I'm afraid to cause...
