* Ceramic-based pads are good for low dusting but can squeal.

* Be careful of a lot of high-performance pads as they need some heat in them...

After wash/clay, I would use a mild non-abrasive paintwork cleanser such as P21S or Klasse AIO. These will effectively remove any wax, mild grime/staining, etc. Pinnacle and Wolfgang also make...

Fantastic work and huge difference. Enjoyed the pics. Thanks for posting!

Great post! I have a couple of the old indigo MF and love them. Was looking for their replacements and even had Sonus' in my shopping cart. Sad to see manufacturers cheapening out and ruining...

Great job, and I love the color :-)

Interesting use of ONR. I've always just used plain water. Maybe ONR acts like a water wetter also.

If I understand you correctly, if it's getting stuck, I'd use more water (from a spray...

Congrats, XLNTShine. Looking forward to your review!

I have noticed a definite difference in absorbency using a dedicated MF detergent. The one I use is the Micro-Restore. I usually use this after a wash or soak with some kind of other cleaner to...

Oooh! Pick me! Pick me!

My car has "only" 51K miles on it, but it is a 2000 Porsche Boxster S. These flat-sixes are notorious for having gunked up intakes, nasty throttle bodies, etc., I...

Thank you for this post. I have been looking and looking for edgeless replacements for the previous indigo ones. Edgeless is not in the title, and the search is not doing it for me.

That sucks! Sounds like you had some impossibly thin clear over a previously repaired section. Good luck and keep us posted.



True, but what I've been doing with the PTG I just got is to...

I think a lot depends on what results you want and the condition of your calipers. Paramount for any durability is prep. Personally, I would only do it "right" if you are going to do it at all. ...

I'm entered :-)

:iagree: Great save! Thanks for all the pictures!

You might consider Meguiars Ultimate Compound, polishing compound, rubbing compound, meguiars rubbing compound, meguires, meguiars polish, auto compound polish The cut is similar but not as high as...

I have not used ONR, but I use the DP equivalent and the Ultima WW as a conventional wash booster, and both (especially WW) make the wash soap dramatically slippery -- slipperier than snot. I am...

Personally, I would be careful with a pressure washer and expecting a vehicle to be clean. It is easy to blast off any marginal paint or chips and get water into places not meant to withstand that...

I think it also depends on how serious you are and how much money you want to spend. I have the older PC 7424 and Griot's. I would say the PC is better built, but I like the power of the Griot's. ...

Amazing generosity!

I am a big fan of RaggTop fabric protectant but did not even know they made plastic window cleaner/protector. Am interested in those...

Thanks for the great write up. Helps to clarify the process.

There are really too many variables for anyone to say. One thing I would highly recommend if your intent is to wash your car with it is to have it added as part of a water softener installation. ...

As mentioned, it really depends on the application. A general rule-of-thumb is that you need to have AT LEAST as many threads' worth of engagement as diameter. For example and simplicity's sake, if...

Well, the closest *available* number to my actual guess is 993, which also happens to be a nice Porsche.

Boy, that's some bad luck. I wouldn't go out and buy any lottery tickets if I were you. Glad you're OK. Good luck with the outcome. Hope they total it.

I would concur with others about not worrying so much about the paint. If the car is used, I would Google some forums related to the car that you are seriously interested in and become a forum...
