    Done Polishing, Any Ideas?

    Because 105 has cleaners in it, anything that comes before will be negated. Unless you are using the 101 strictly for it's cleaning ability, then I would think you should go with one or the other rather than both. As for as protection, for the above reason layering 105 isn't going to help...

    Some advice on a compound and some stain removal please!!!!

    No luck with OC? That's too bad... I was thinking about trying it soon with my UDM. What was the sign that it was not breaking down properly? Most people here say that it doesn't dust. So what are your other indicators? I've used XMT3 with similar results as you. It's great on swirls, even...

    Woolite Fabric Detergent

    Here is my impression of the issue so far: many professional detailers have used woolite (fabric detergent) for a long time for cleaning interior surfaces, such as dash and door panels (but not fabrics), with success and no detrimental effects. I would assume that after a great deal of...

    Woolite Fabric Detergent

    In response to a recent thread I decided to post this link. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-university/11875-interior-cleaning-best-way-concourse-carpets.html There may be better threads concerning the use of woolite on interiors but this is the one that alerted me to the...

    Did I really mess up?

    I wouldn't say you "messed up". Unless there were some serious contaminates that you ended up just pushing around on the surface. Then you probably scratched the paint a little. That's my guess... "Can I clay over the existing finish with a fine grade clay and get good results? Should I clay...

    Xmt4

    Okay got a good look at the paint. Definite marring, but looks like it could be from a MF that should have been demoted. The marrs are in a long sweeping pattern consistent with the way a wiped off residue. Hmmm.

    Xmt4

    So far I've used PB's SSR1, XMT3, and now this one, XMT4, in that order. In each case I've started with a white pad, and with the XMT products bumped up to orange. With #3 I spent a good couple of hours on the hood making multiple passes. So I've been pretty careful thus far and that may be...

    Help a PC7424 noob. Made paint worse!

    Yes, pics would help here. I'm especially curious to know what buffer marks are suppose to look like. I'm wondering if maybe once the 2.5 did it's thing, what's left is the deeper marring and that is what he sees? A finishing polish would help to round off that stuff, diminish it.

    Help a PC7424 noob. Made paint worse!

    But how did he make it "worse"? Could it be contamination between the pad and the paint? I'm new to this, too. I'm curious why this hasn't happened to me.

    Xmt4

    I used the UDM on level 5. The marring I am after isn't very deep, i.e., can't catch a nail on them. After a couple passes with a white pad, I still wasn't happy. Stepped it up to orange and looks pretty good, but still needs work. So I am feeling pretty comfortable with using #4 and am...

    Xmt4

    How do you measure aggressiveness? I'm new here, please bare with me. I used XMT4 today for the first time and was surprised at how well it finished down. Even on my dark paint, I could swear I could go straight to a LSP. It was evening so no sun to really inspect the paint, but I had expected...

    XMT Series Polish

    I tried XMT3, once, in direct sun-on a dark car-in mid 70's weather. It dried on the panel before I even turned the machine on. It didn't keep me from trying. I made my way around the entire roof (six tries). I'm still learning so maybe there were other factors at play, but that was a bad...

    This is how i do it!

    I'm impressed with the my fellow forum members for their intolerance of this kind of behavior. I was actually willing to let it go, thinking it was just a poorly phrased flippant remark. So, like the last guy with his "Mex" comments, I was ready to give him the benefit of the doubt and ignore...

    tried out my new flex today

    This has happened to me with XMT3 using the UDM and an orange LC pad. I was working outside on a sunny day on a panel that was shaded. It was about average humidity for central FL, maybe 50%. I decided it was from using too much polish. It would get gummed up in the pad and then start...
