Having a few problems with this one on a soft paint. No problem on any other car I’m detailing.

Hi all,

any ideas? See attached images.

I bought this today and it's specifically fits karchar with the attachments.

am I being a bit silly here? Or do I need to go back and get a...

What do you generally use? They are good because any dirt goes deep in. They knot up though, need to brush mine before I wash it. I think any swirling is coming from the washing , rather than drying.

Only ever have beads as the coat leaves little water behind , really good at repelling

Sorry ... attention to detail... I use a towel , plush big blue... only dab the paint to dry, never swipe.

Use to have a white car and never really noticed anything ... maybe I wasn't looking properly !

agree, think in future silver or dark grey are the ones to go for.

Was detailing a jag XF today...

Hi All,

just St looking to discuss possible options.

My Audi is solid black and does have very soft paint so always look for very fine finishing polishes

Hi all,

just got my new Rupes mk2 ( 15mm )

Please bear in mind that 'generally' ( it differs of course ) this generation of Porsche have really soft paint.

I would seriously consider finishing / extending buffer cycle with water. Ie when...

Cquartz U.K. edition for me is the one to go for. Probably the easiest application process for a novice.

Great protection and superb shine, not overly expensive and has great protection...

So I don't know what many people think about this but going to put it out there as haven't seen it on the forums yet.

how do you all wash your cars? I have a black Audi ( solid ) which has...

Thanks as as always for all the help guys.

decided to go for the 15mm throw mk2 in the end.

very excited to get it now!!

Would you go for the 15 or 21. Fund not an issue. Is there a big difference between the two, apart obviously from the bigger throw?

Touched on this a bit on a previous post but cannot find it now.

decided to buy a new polisher to replace my old one. Got the torq 10fx, which I feel is struggling to cut harder paint especially...

Hi all,

I have been contemplating changing my polisher for a while now.

Currently I have the Torq 10fx which has got the job done however I have been tempted by the rupes.

With experience, does anyone...

Sorry another dumb question. I

just ordered a new paint gauge. Which measures in um ( micrometres )
