What do you guys use for bug removal? Do you guys use a separate product to get the bugs off the front of the car first?

I read good reviews on the poorboys stuff:

Poorboy’s Bug Squash:...

EX-P vs Klasse vs 4 Star UPP

OR DP Poli-Coat seems to be another good one for <$20
OR Duragloss Total Performance Polish

too many choices!!


which one do you like and why? How long do...

Ok thank you for the advice, I will check out these products.



The car is in pretty good shape now since the last time I did a full detail. However, the first time I did it I didn't know as...

Yeah I might try 105 with a white pad and see the results. I havent tried it.


This leads me to a few more questions..

*Can I use a gray or white ccs pad on taillights/headlights...

thank you for the response. I had the link to the compound comparison but I didnt have the buffing pad comparison.:props:

So after reviewing it, would this be a good order of things in worst case...

idk if this is just marketing but this is in the "polish with sealant" description:

"This sounds like your average all-in-one product but, remember, this is by Poorboys. Poorboys Polish with...

I need a reminder on how to use these CCS pads with products..
On a scale from greatest to least cutting is this true:

*Yellow -> M105
*Orange -> M105

*White -> M205
*Green...

So, if you use polishes/compounds on the paint and get out the marks you skip glazes altogether?

I read good reviews on the black hole stuff and that's why I was looking to change up my method,...

yeah I will try 205 first, I listed 105 just for incase I have to back up a step and go deeper with 105.

As for wheels, tires, etc, I'm set on that stuff I think.:xyxthumbs:


What pad do you...

yeah, I know. That is why I am looking at no longer using my "polish with sealant (AIO)" and going to either "polish with carnauba" or "EX-P".

In other words,

I answered my own question #2 here, found this

Hello all,

I am looking to prep my car for a carshow coming up next week.

Current products I have:
*Porter Cable DA
*Meg's 105
*Meg's 205
*Meg's Ultimate Compound
*Meg's Swirl Remover

thank you both for the informative replies.. i'll do a bit more research on the stuff.


What is the main difference between the "flat" CCS pads and the "normal ones"? As far as I can tell, the...

what are some better things about the Griot's one? I searched and I cannot find anything really different.. It's more powerful?

Thanks


OK here is my shopping cart so i'm set for a while..

*Is it wise to purchase this smaller backing plate size attachment so i can have more control in tight areas of the car?
*Would...

thanks for all the help everyone!

would it be a good idea to put a little piece of tape over the rock chip area to prevent product from building up in it and preventing me from fixing it?

some more questions:

*what are some good pads to start out with?
*what are some good compounds and polishes to start off with?

I like the poorboy's "Polish with Sealant" that I have (only used...

ok great thanks for the help!


So when i go to use the DA, should i use the tape to tape off edges? I.E. seam of the hood and the front quarter pannels, etc..

How do you fill in hood paint chips properly (I.E. wetsand, etc)??


Then ontop of doing that, I'd like to run a DA buffer to fix whatever is left by the wetsanding..

Where is a good place to...

sweet thanks



Yeah I understand what you're saying, it makes sense. Thanks!




Good point, forgot about that.. As I mentioned above, i did the car all by hand with the products I have...

so could i use the DA Polisher on the spot where it has 4 humps in the hood behind the headlights? or no because its uneven and crevice-like?

or are you limited to doing it by hand there? How do...

sorry but thats kind of hard to believe dawn is listed next to toilet and tile scum cleaners as being "toxic", but thanks for the information I will consider it.

About the fender behind the front...

thanks for the advice, I will check all that out. And yeah behind the wheels its faded kind of.. I'm not experienced enough to know if its repairable with a DA or not.. Its almost like its so...
