This could be caused by the type of towel you're using. A good MF towel works best, but you can also use newspaper. Depending on how dirty the inside of the windshield is, it could take a couple...

What glass cleaner are you using currently? I've always used Stoner's Invisible Glass and never had any issues with it not cleaning the glass.

I can see the point of view regarding coatings since it is a chemical bond to the paint, much more of a bond than a sealant or wax.

But waxes and sealants don't have that kind of chemical bond...

I love beading and use it to determine when I need to re-apply a wax/sealant. In my eyes, if a car isn't beading anymore, then the wax/sealant that I put down has been completely removed and it's...

I have had a lot of success doing a one step with Menzerna Power Finish on a white pad with the rotary. I've also used 3M UF. In all fairness, the polishes/pads I have used have been on the "less...

I haven't been able to find quality pads like we can get from AG, but I have found some pads at Harbor Freight. Also, the 3M headlight kits usually come with some kind of polishing pad if you're in a...

So what plans do you have for it? Anything performance related?

Thank you all for the nice comments! I really enjoyed working on this car. It was definitely worth the work in the end!

Hey guys!

This is a detail I did a little while ago. The victim - a 2010 Nissan Sentra with 118k miles on the clock. I warn you now, there are a TON of pictures!

Keep in mind this car spent...

I have used WGDGPS before and have always enjoyed it. I haven't used it in a while because I collected quite a few nubas that I wanted to use, but I remember it being fool proof to apply and it...

FWIW, when I first found this site and started detailing, I picked up a PC and Pinnacle polish kit with a jar of Natty's Blue. Ended up going to a local store and picked up a clay bar kit, came back...

I've detailed a couple cars for Chicago winters and have had good results with WGDGPS and Autoglym HD.

Great work. I enjoying looking at the transformation of black cars and yours did not disappoint!

Very nice! Way to go above and beyond and get those wheels cleaned up!

In the past, I have had good luck with a soft bristle brush (such as a Kiwi shoe brush) with Lexol Leather Cleaner. You can also use a MF towel soaked in hot water. There are other leather products...

Thanks for the review. I'm a long time user of Opti-Bond, but always looking out for new products to try. I may have to give this a go at some point!

Very true statement. Even less with a 4" pad lol.

Way to go man!

Take a look at the Rupes machine instead. I haven't used one yet, but reviews are saying that it's buttery smooth and doesn't have all the vibration.

How awesome is 3M UF to use with a rotary?! Talk about glossy! Unfortunately it's not a polish to use with a DA. Menz 106 finishes down nice with a DA though!

It's all good bud! I used to do the same thing back in high school; I would charge my neighbor the same whether I did his 4 door Jag or beefy Tahoe. He was a neighbor though so I wanted to help him...

I guess some posts got deleted; probably for the better.

Status Detailing - You can still finish out with a rotary. Just be sure to clean the surface after you're done with something like IPA or...

Chances are this stems from Acuras (and Hondas) historically having very soft paint, not the sealant itself. The clear coat is not "hard" enough to protect against stone chips compared to something...

lol

This is true lol.
