Coming from a black car (BMW) to a more silver colored car (Infiniti)...for me it was a godsend. I don't like the extended maintenance required on black cars. Some do, I'm not one of them.

Thanks for the responses. I have done trim on my roadster and it works great, but it just seems to fall flat on tires. Maybe I just need to get something else.

bump for advice.

How do you guys use HD? Maybe I'm just doing it wrong. Typical dilution?

Honestly I'm not sure, it has been awhile since I last mixed some together because I'm kind of afraid to use it. I've seen the stuff used on many cars nicer than mine with fantastic results so I'm...

Hello,

I was curious if I'm the only one to have this problem. I'm using Meg's HD to do my tires / trim on my car and a lot of times after I apply it, the tires turn into an awful milky color...

I don't mean to double post, but what would be a good Meg's glaze to apply before I apply wax? Should I shoot for something with a light cut in it?

I see M0716, M0616, etc.

Would love some...

I use the Meg's Detailer Line products as well. Hyper dressing, wheel brightener, APC, etc. You control the strength so the flexibility is amazing especially with what you pay in price. I bought...

Here is my car with Griot's Best of Show Wax (used Griot's clay and orbital to do the detail):

I have their "Best of Show" wax on both of my cars right now... Surface feels smooth and it is very easy to maintain. Beads pretty nice as well.

This will be my first try at a heavy correction. I have done wax only passes with my Griots with very good results. I don't have an orange LC pad, but I'm thinking I may need to get a couple for...

Wow. I hope one day I get that good at detailing.

Hey, check out this chart autogeek has on the hierarchy of a full detail.

That should answer what you are asking I think!

Alright. I'm convinced. I'm going to pick up some glaze to help out! Thanks for the tips. I bought the car with 114k miles and the paint was rough since day 1. I'd like to take a serious attempt...

Really? The deep scratches would be lessened? Heck I'll take anything with the mileage it has.

Now let me ask this: I am thinking

LC Pads
M105/M205

Then should I go straight to wax or...

Hey everyone,

Just curious about my paint... It is pretty bad in parts. Lots of deep RIDS and some spots were the last owner tried to use touch up paint to fix it but failed miserably. I plan to...

Really? Oh man, I just wasted $20 on one of these things... dang it :(

Thanks for the pointers.

I hate to bump an old thread, but I just got a Duo Spur for "On the Fly" Pad cleaning, and I plan to polish my car this week.

Duo Spur Wool & Foam Pad Cleaning Tool: Scrub dirty pads clean with...

Amazing work. This car is one of my all time favorites. It isn't the fastest, but the sex appeal, emotions you get when you look at it, etc. is just undeniable.

Wow!! Car looks showroom new. I was thinking it had about 50k miles or something really low on it.

I'd definitely be doing waterless, as it is about 30 degrees here in KY!

BMW looks amazing!

Glad to see you are okay, that is a nasty looking injury!

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm looking forward to doing this. I've been dragging my feet a little too long.

Glad to read SwirlX is pretty good. I actually have some in my house and was curious about the level of cut.

EDIT: According to that link. SwirlX is the second to the weakest based on what...

Thanks for the fast responses. I'm just talking about swirl removal and then 1 coat of wax when finished.

Hey all,

If possible, I would like to work on the car throughout the week versus dedicating an entire day during the weekend.

Would it be okay to do one panel at a time? For example, the trunk...
