I second everything you said about the trackers. When we first got our 2nd rescue, Mocha, she got loose and took us hours to find her. The 1st few times, and the longest to find her was right out our front door. 3 other times she jumped out of a moving vehicle while the window was down. To...

I wish I had manual drive vehicles. I grew up driving them, and almost always had one. When I got my 1st automatic I was instantly bored with it, and found out really fast they were not as fun LOL! My first real experience with a manual and a "fun" sports car was an 87' Iroc Z, man that car...

I'm thinking that is what he does as well. I kinda do the same thing, clean one up, and drive the other. I'm sure my wife would give me the stink eye if I told her not to drive it! That would make her take it even faster haha! Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

This thread sounds like my wife and I with me being the car guy. She appreciates driving her "clean" vehicle, which can be either of the 2 we currently have. But she also thinks I spend too much attention on them making them look better than showroom quality. She says she's always afraid of...

^^Nevermind^^ I was about to head out the door earlier and didn't fully read each description. Where does Wolfgang Uber Compound fit into the Wolfgang line? Uber Compound is the most aggressive polishing compound made by Wolfgang. Uber Compound is designed to remove imperfections that are...

Quick question for you. I was wanting to try out Wolfgang to correct a used car I'm getting that needs some serious love. Which one did you get to remove scratches and swirls? I see they have the Total Swirl Remover 3.0, and then they have their Uber Compound 3.0. I can't figure out if one...

That only applies Kalamazoo public schools, and we are in Portage schools. But yes, they still get that perk. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

What BudgetPlan said. I had CQuartz UK 3.0 on, and polishing removed it, of course that was my intent LOL! Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Looks great, nice job! Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Ya, that's actually how I do it. I have 2 vehicles that have a low and curvy front end spoiler, areas around the hoods, trunks, and then of course my vinyl on one to work around. It's no big deal really doing these areas by hand. I think my biggest problem is, I tend to detail them back to...

Welcome from the other side of the pond in Michigan! I just joined here myself, and I love this forum! So much information, and a great bunch of people here that like to help out. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I got to thinking about how I did it, and I waited an hour, actually a little over, and then applied the second coat. Not sure why I said I waited 24 hours for the second coat. I waited as long as I could after the coating, which was 3 days, might have been 4 for all I remember LOL! But I...

From what I had read it didn't matter when it was applied as long as it was after the 24 cure period of the last application. I don't know maybe I did it wrong. There were so many different answers on how to do it out there. Of course, if I was using this forum back then, my answer would have...

LOL! Very true, I remember even in the 90's the info wasn't readily available, or maybe it was and I didn't try very hard. I do remember trying every single product out trying to get that wet look I would see on a nice car. Back then I had NO idea what I was doing, and can only laugh at...

I could have easily fit in the 15 years of doing the wrong thing category. Only in the last 10 years have I been making strides in relearning and bettering my technique as time goes on. I think we can all say we started somewhere. For example, I was taught in the 80's from my dad, that Dawn...

Ok, thanks for the info! I do the same with with a microfiber to get in the areas I can't get into with the polisher. So for now, I'll continue using what I have till I upgrade the Porter. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Are these pads universal with all polishers assuming you get the backing plate? I would like to get some for my PC, mainly for the crazy curves I've got in places. Also thinking it would work good on my hood where it says "Hemi". Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Someone mentioned Mckee's for the matte finish I have. Although I haven't looked it up to see if protects or just cleans, I'm hoping a bit of both. Ya, I didn't have tape, or anything smaller than 5.5" pads, I more or less winged it. It came out good though, I guess I'm lucky LOL! Next time...

So I am done with it, except for a second coat of the sealant tomorrow. It went well, although because I didn't have tape or 1" pads, I had to be careful around the graphics. So I have a couple of things to add to my list for the next time. Question about the 1" backing plate and pads, is...

Ok cool! Ya, the car is an 18' and only 2 months old. It is mostly mark free, with light marks here and there on it. I'll be careful when I do it tomorrow, shouldn't be too big of a deal because it's still looking good. I will also look into the Mckee's matte cleaner and protectant. I was...
