Thanks for weighing in, Mike. This *IS* a cool project! I've been anticipating the arrival of this car for weeks!

I'm looking for some advice on my next project. It's a kit car from Classic Roadsters Inc, of Fargo ND, built in 1988. It is gelcoated fiberglass.

While the gelcoat is in decent condition...

Welcome to AGO. You're in the right place to learn!

I got the detailing bug a half year ago, and enjoy working on the family's cars (and a couple of neighbor's cars as well). If I were to start...

Thanks, Craig. I'll certainly keep that in mind.

Getting advice from others with experience makes it so much easier for beginners like me. I really appreciate your stepping in and commenting.

Thanks for the reply, and for correcting me regarding the bumper material, 7. Much appreciated! I'm using a Griot's 6 inch DA, generation 3. I use 5 inch and 3 inch pads and would be using the 3 inch...

Are there any steps of a paint correction process which should not be performed on painted fiberglass bumpers?

Thanks to Mike's videos, and to the expertise of the members of the AutoGeek forum,...

Are you sure the film remains after you clean, or does it come back as soon as you drive your car?

A couple of thoughts...
First, years ago I had a car where, after cleaning, the interior...

Good luck with your repaired MT300, Guz.

I wonder how many fixed MT300s have this problem recur... I'm sure we would have seen posts from people about re-fixes, so I'm guessing you're home free.

I, too, liked what I saw about the new MT300, when I researched DAs - - the ergonomics, the gradual start, etc. I was ready to buy it, but I began to see reports about power cord problems. What...

Thanks for the link. That's an amazing result! My CRV is nowhere nearly as bad as that Avalanche, thank heavens.

Thanks for the tip about the Mothers. I had tried some on the trim of my wife's Rogue, and two days later, it looked as if I hadn't touched it. I figured I'd applied it wrong.

Much appreciated! Thanks for the info on the wheels, for your insight on the products I have, and your suggestions. I'll be giving APC & Tuf Shine a try.

I will buy a GG6 package today! I need to buy a bunch of other exterior detailing stuff, too, and I'd really appreciate product suggestions from the many experienced detailers in this forum,...

Please ignore my posted questions.
I see most of the info that I needed is in a recent post in the 'Wool and Foam Buffing Pads' forum.
Sorry - I am new to online forums...

I'm a newbie, ready to purchase a first DA polisher. I'll choose between the GG6 and MT300, and have questions about BPs and pads. I'm looking to improve the finish on 4 DDs, and definitely will not...

THANKS for the greetings... Much appreciated!

Sorry for my delayed response. I couldn't reply earlier because my computer froze up, and it took me a couple of days to figure out and fix the...

Hi to All!

Dave, here, from Milford CT.

I've always enjoyed looking at a well-maintained car, regardless of age or make, whether it's at an auto show or a strip mall parking lot. Over the last...
