    Who Uses a California Car Duster ? Are they safe ?

    I got one for Christmas last year. Used it one time on very light dust and barely even touched the car with it. Put it out in the sun and sure enough, scratches all over my clear coat. I threw it in the garbage. They may be better on harder paint, but its a big NO on a Dodge pitch black (very...

    A pair of Hellcats---soft, med or hard paint?

    I have found on my Challenger that the paint is very soft. It'll scratch even with the softest MF. However, being soft means it corrects with very little effort using a fine polish. I've had the best luck using a perfecting pad instead of a correcting pad. Starting with the least aggressive...

    Compound with a perfecting pad?

    Ran into an issue while doing my car. After IronX, clay, and HD Speed using the GG orange correcting pad, the car still had fine straight line scratches visible under the LEDs. (they were doing construction in front of my office for a month and the car was coated in concrete dust). Anyway, being...

    Clay without immediate polishing

    I have searched for an answer but having no luck. Its almost time for my annual Thanksgiving detail festival in my garage. My car is in need of claying as it fails the baggie test AND the visual test. Not sure what's all over it! I did 2 test spots last weekend. 1 with a Megs clay bar and 1...

    Embarrassed to say, I've been one of those lurkers.

    I've been a member here for over a 1 1/2 years but have never been active. I'm here everyday reading, following, and soaking it all in. Recently I read a comment by Mike Phillips where he talked about all the lurkers that never join the forums, introduce themselves, and give credit where its due...

    When to use a compound?

    Thanks for the quick responses!! I believe at this point I have read everything on this site (probably twice). My car is pitch black and keeping it looking good is a full time job, but something I love doing. Its my therapy. I don't want to use a compound unless I have to, so you guys definitely...

    When to use a compound?

    I'm trying to figure out if I need to use a compound on my car. I did a paint correction process on it about 6 months ago (clay, compound, polish, wax). The paint is in really good shape and I got most of the scratches out the first time although I have some swirling showing in direct sunlight...
