Sorry, I got busy with regular life and never closed out this thread. I was able to get through those swirls. I think, as suggested, I was using too much polish. I went back with a MF pad with...

Painted metal. I don't have a paint thickness gauge so I don't know how thick the clear is. It is a brand new car from the dealer that I know they didn't do any detailing to besides unwrapping and...

Hey everyone,

I recently purchased a new VW GTI. This weekend I broke out all the gear to fully decon, polish and protect it. Friday night I washed, Iron-X'd and Nanoskin'd, toweled it mostly dry...

Hello everyone,

I’m going to be polishing a car with proximity sensors in the painted part of the bumper for the first time. How do you guys normally handle them? Do you tape over them, polish...

For my wife’s car, a VW Atlas, what sized CQUK bottle would you recommend? Some extra wouldn’t hurt, I can always do the VW Golf, our beater, too. Do you have any thoughts on Reload vs Hydro2 Lite...

I also have some Optimum Hyper Spray Polish if that would be a better choice?

Yes, I’m planning on doing a once over with Menz 3500 and a tangerine pad followed by an Eraser wipe down and finishing up with (assuming I don’t find something better) McKees paint coating.

I’m just a weekend warrior, but I am thinking about trying my hand at coating my wife’s car. This will be the first time I’ve tried applying a coating. I’ve been looking at the McKees 37 coating...

I have a PC. I’m not needing a ton of cut, both cars are daily drivers and I mostly just tolerate the rids and full on scratches. I do have the Megs DA MF cutting pad and D300 for when something...

Hello everyone,

I am a weekend warrior and try to keep my cars (BMW in sapphire black metallic and a VW in tourmaline blue) looking good. About every 9-12 months I have been using either Menzerna...

For the moment I don’t seem to have much choice in the matter. Most of the coatings I’ve seen require a pretty extended cure time and I don’t have access to a garage. I’d have to take my car to...

Lim, thanks so much for the offer, if you don’t mind I’ll send you a PM

Thanks, I will definitely work a test spot to make sure the pad and polish combo works.

I guess the other part of my question is around frequency. My understanding is a paint job has a finite...

My plan was to buy a couple different polishes and try them to see which works best with my car. My PC came with three hex logic pads, a white one, a black one, and an orange one. Is a white Lake...

Thanks for the awesome reply. But I guess my question was less regarding the specific combos but more are those combos considered aggressive or not (for a harder BMW paint) and would using them once...

Thanks for the reply. To follow up the second half of my question, would Hyper Polish and 3500 be considered light polishes? Is using them once or twice a year within the realm of reason or is that...

Hello everyone,

I've decided to stop lurking and ask my detailing question! Some background: six months ago I purchased a new BMW in sapphire black metallic. It's my daily driver, it's parked...
