Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I'm sure that HS Black Polish is geared more towards non-German cars (soft/med paint) so on a Honda with an orange pad it probably would do better. It seems to me that German paint is what seperates the boys from the men and you've gotta have the right polish/compound and mf pads

Yup!! He didn't ask for correction, so I figured I'd really surprise him since he gave me 3 cars and try out the HS, but ehh. It definitely added gloss and some depth, but not much as far as correction. If he asked for a correction, I would have definitely went more aggressive.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
This was yesterday actually but after walking back from the ice cream cafe' with my daughter I observed a guy washing his MB. He had a 3.5 gallon bucket, a sponge and was hosing a section, scrubbing and rinsing. I wanted to jump into action but I didn't. Sometimes you just get a feeling for the situation and not to say anything, especially when it's an older person.

Years ago, I was in the opposite position, but it wasn't in a good way. I was washing the second car I ever had, so this was 30 years ago. This old retired guy from up the road was walking by, he tells me all I need to make my car shiny, was a can of Mr Sheen, I don't know if you ever had this product in the US, but it's a furniture polish. I can't remember what car wash I was using, and I was using a cheap sponge, and only one bucket, but I wasn't going to use furniture polish on my car. But I was polite though, and I didn't laugh, till he was gone. The things you suddenly remember.

Are you sure? Thought he used the Sonax glass cleaner as a rinseless or waterless?
