Cleaning foam pads when polishing/waxing by hand.

There's a lot of talk about cleaning pads while working, but this discussion usually centers on machine polishing. I've read the "polish on the...

I'm fairly new here as well - a lot of great information on here, especially from people excited to try the latest and greatest detailing products; nothing wrong with that as I like testing new...

Yes, daily driver.

My plan at this time is to polish 1-2x/year.
I've already compounded once with Meguiars ultimate compound, and from what I've read, hopefully that is the only time I will...

So far I've used Meguiars ultimate liquid wax and optimum car wax. I have collinite 845 that I haven't tried yet.

Common topic I know - but remains difficult to sort out for me, and I feel I've read every thread on the internet about this.

Hello from Greenville NC

Have dabbled in using Nu-finish every few years on my cars - the extent of my interest as I never had a car to be proud of.

Purchased my first new car this spring -...
