Good points, I do prefer one step but I also don't see a point in one step if your objective is to deal with one specific problem.

I can see flaws if they are obvious, if they aren't I'm not...

Cool :) didn't know about the ebook; I'll get that too. Experience makes practice better. I've known bits here and there and gradually got into different phases of car washing as I got more...

Alright got it :) now I just need to order the stuff

when doing the eraser process do I use the nanoskin/claybar or do I use microfiber? I see that claying/nanoskin is the step BEFORE doing the eraser so hence I'm asking.

I've tried all the typical remedies; vinegar wouldn't do it, nothing would and then I got duragloss 755 it does a hellva job for the most part but it still leaves a lot to be desired even after...

Nanoskin replaces the claybar? Hmm ok good to know, too bad I already bought the clay but you're right I can't imagine claying the truck its huge.

So I should probably use m205 and a light...

you're right I suppose not; that makes sense I didn't think about that till you mentioned it meguiars suggested I use quick detailer to lubricate the surface being clayed but it couldn't hurt to let...

Ah ok I see, once you've done the paint correction (using eraser/rubbing alcohol) claying should never be done again until I'm ready to repeat the whole process... got it.

I also have a Camaro so...

Is carpro the only eraser to get?


So how is it supposed to be done?

Wash the vehicle

strip lsp with an eraser

compound/clay?

actually I see 105 is tougher than 205

if I use 105 do I need to use dawn dish soap to remove the wax layer and then do 105 then clay then wax it again? (not on the windows obviously, but on the...

Just looked at the meguiars hard water spot remover, says it works with paint, glass, hard plastic, etc but it IS acidic... I'm not so sure I want to put acid on plastic. the chrome is flux/plastic...

When I was looking to get an acidic wash for the windows I couldn't find any and I kept reading about how dangerous it was to use professional acidic wash systems and all that crap (well duh!) and I...

It gets hot here during the summer, everybody says wash the vehicle in the shade which of course is common sense; during certain times of the day its hard to park in the shade as there's no room it'd...

I noticed the DA machine does take a little more effort and for good reason; I'm not comfortable with rotaries since its much easier to burn the paint or material you're working I don't mind if it...

Will have to; I'll head over to Marine 31 to get more refined answers, not that you guys don't have good answers they're awesome :)

I should consider getting one of the other products M105/205...

Ok so I'm a little confused; I realize that 105 and 205 are superb stuff, but it doesn't say its for marine use and really I haven't thought about using this stuff on my vehicles. I only have waxes...

So at least I got the general idea that wool is to be used; these LC purple wool pads are not as common yet easily found unlike the foam pads.

Is there a reason to use wool instead of foam heavy...

:props: yep I've seen that link, I'll head over there too :)

never heard of a surbuf pad; so a LC finishing pad would work? And what kind of polish since I'm planning on using a meguiars one step polish? (I guess I should look for some kind of finishing polish...

I haven't gotten an answer on my last thread in the OT area about a couple questions I have but so far some have been very helpful :props:; this forum section is in an odd place as its in "brand...

awesome thanks :)

I found other products that help with the metal/rubber/vinyl along with it by the same brand too :)

So does anybody know about hologram issues with using these products or...

hmm ok can't find the edit button so I looked at the meguiars marine one step compound; it doesn't say anything about it having wax included so I assume this is a 2nd step? (which I would not mind...

will I get a shine out of it? And what about holograms?

If it were MY boat, I wouldn't care about the holograms unless it were a show boat then I would, but its not a show boat nor is it mine so...

I haven't read through enough threads yet so I don't claim to be totally unknowledgable nor an expert in any way, and I know there's plenty of redundant threads already so I will keep it simple.

Don't I know it LOL, it doesn't matter if its cars, RV, boats, ATVs, UTVs, etc there's always a zillion questions to go with that :P
