This time I choose to work on a rear fender, since it's easier to take better pictures from that angle.

I've...

You were right. It didn't made it any better than the HD Adapt.
I will have to try a more cutting compound. I don't know if jump straight to the H8.02 or maybe try something lighter first, like the...

Ok, I've been on my local shop today.
I couldn't find what you all guys advised me to use.
I ended up buying the Koch Chemie M2.01 "Hochglanz-Antihologramm-Politur" and a Flexipads Microfibre Pad...

Thank you guys. Tomorrow I'll make a visit to my local detailing shop to see what I can find. I didn't think it would be a hard paint, but it is.
About the scratches, pictures don't show exactly...

Hello guys.
I'm working on my black 2008 e92 BMW.
Using 3D HD Adapt and Lake Country orange 5.5" foam pads on a DA Porter Cable.
After 4 rounds of 7 passes the paint shows great improvement, but a...

Hello guys!
First of all, please, don't judge me =O

After my last detailing session on one of my own cars, I left all my pads uncleaned for a long long time. A long long time is 2 years.
Why? I...

Thank you all for your help.
Here are some pictures of the hood.

As you can see, this car's paint has been really neglected by it's previous owner. It was very oxidized, had a lot of swirls and...

I think I will try Meguiar's # 21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0. It's quite expensive here but I don't seem to have lots of other options. It also does not have much durability. Some people say it lasts...

I´m working on a single stage red 1990 BMW.
This is a very soft paint that is quite neglected.

Thank you Goin Rogue.
But I can't find Hydro2 in Argentina.
Anyway, when I said that this paint is very soft and very easy to scratch, I didn't meant that I was looking for a sealant that doesn't...

I will start working on my recently found 1990 E30 BMW 318i Touring in Birillantrot.
It has a single stage red, quite neglected. But after reading Mike's articles and other user's threads, I've...

What other chemical decontamination can I do apart from deironizing?

If I can't find Iron X (since imports are very restricted in my country), could I use some deironizer that is intended for...

Hello everybody!
Following the forums tips, I'm opening a new thread for this new question I have related to the clay process: When to stop claying.
I've started claying my car for the first...

Thank you guys!
I think it's a question of lubricity. Since it's the first vertical panel I'm working on, i think maybe the QD I'm using drips too fast. I'm really putting a lot of it.
I've read...

Hello everybody.
I've started decontaminating my 2008 BMW 335's black paint with a 3D HD professional grade clay bar, using HD Touch as lubricant.
I did a test spot on the trunk lid using the...

Thank you aim4squirrels!
I started yesterday.
After a thorough wash, inspecting the roof I found at least 3 of this spots, what are they?
It looks like they might be type II bird drops, but they...

Thank you all for your help! :xyxthumbs:
