It looks like many cars here in the NW.

When I parked my ford explorer in the drive way for a year, it started to grow green and black mold/fungus, but it cleaned up just fine.

Its a constant...

I have a Flex 3401 and I recently got a GG 3" to do all the small hard to reach spots.

I like the GG 3" and it seems to work very well for polishing the hard to get areas.

As far as...

It sounds like you are going to end up with a very nice looking car.

I am new to this too and I polished my car months ago and it looked better.

Then I polished it a couple weeks ago using the...

Really?

I washed my MF with the wash liquid purchased from AG in warm/cold water and then air dried them in the dryer for a few hours with zero heat.
No other towels were in the washer or dryer...

Any car you keep outside and not under cover must require a good amount of attention to keep it nice looking.

Where I live moss and other things started to grow on the car I left outside and...

So far 4 of the 6 cars I have polished have been old single stage paint.

I do see a good amount of color transferred no matter if I hand or machine polished and so far I have not hit any thin...

Thanks Setec.

This was the most weather/water/UV resistant cover that Noah made per the charts and was said to be one of the best generally available covers.

That makes sense about...

Hi All,

I don't have a large garage so I have to keep a few of my cars under car covers.
The cars I put covers on that are then stored under a deck in the area that is mostly dry and these cars...

For sure look in to community college and taking credits that transfer.
It's a great way to get started in school and is less expensive than a 4 year university right away.

It took me 4 years...

I think this was why you were hired too.
A car that was neglected for years and who's owners still have the McD eating/spilling kids don't seem like people who would spend $ for a one time detail.

Nice!

What an improvement.

Thanks!
That is my goal.

I like stock and original cars and making them look as good and often better than when they left the factory is my thing.

A car is only original once and when a...

I used a Flex3401 and a GG 3.5" orbital polisher with Orange, White, and Blue LC pads using Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover, Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish, and Pinnacle Sovereign liquid wax.
...

I am new to polishing and sure I started with some bad techniques, but the LC 6.5" pads I have used for well over a year on 5 cars are all in great shape except for some staining.
All on a flex...

I got a guzzler several months ago and forgot about it as I have my reliable real shammy and a cool soft rubber scraper thing for water removal on flat spots.

When I came across the guzzler last...

Cool, I have a Gallery!
I will upload some pictures soon.

Thanks again for the advice and that makes sense about the paint being harder so less comes off.
I will hold off on the #7 for now...

Thanks again Mike!

The color; It is that brownish/beige sort of color, like a grand parents car would look.
I read thru the picture resizing and posting tips and will start to post pictures too....

I was not using the forum here much before I polished a 1962 Ford Fairlane with its original paint.
It was a one owner car and I was told the by the owners son that the car was well taken care of,...

I have used a machine since I got one to apply the wax.
It just saves so much time, I'm not retired yet!

I still do small sections on the paint that may need more attention by hand, and the...

Lots of great info about the different polishing machines available.

I have a Flex3401 and when I had used it only 3-4 times I would have said it was the only polisher most people would need, and...

Cool, I'm looking forward to the show.
Congratulations too.

What ever happened to Mikes other show where he would detail a car during the 30 minute show and show average people how the products...

Great Info and I had wondered how often if at all the pads should be changed when polishing/waxing.

One only for waxing makes sense and I dedicated a pad for all wax jobs because cleaning wax...

Thanks Mike and others, for all the great information.
I can't believe you posted to answer my question, that's pretty cool.

That is pretty much the question I was looking to answer besides...

Thanks All and Nick,

The thing is different places like in the videos Mike made and in the product details there is conflicting information about letting the product sit and dry before removing...
