Thanks guys. Ill give these tips a go. 👍👍

Hey guys,
I recently used nattys white on my black car after a full detail (wash, ironx, clay, correction, ipa wipedown) let it dry to a "haze" and buffed off with a 600gsm microfibre towel. I...

You can probably skip collinite 845 all together and just use the optimum wax weekly to be honest. And try and clean off those bird bombs asap. What I do is I keep a quick detailer in the car with a...

Like LSN mentioned, your paint is probably very soft. Use a black finishing pad with the 205 and water it down as LSN mentioned. If that still doesnt work try out a bottle of menzerna 3500 or 3800...

Was it a test using collinite 915 by any chance??

I read a forum post a while back where a test on layering was dont with collinite915. From memory a the second layer added less than half of what the first layer did. The third layer added a fraction...

As other posters have mentioned use 845 and any other collinite waxes THINLY. In the past I had a lot of issues with collinite waxes with rehazing and oily holograms in the paintwork on my black car,...

Hmmm yeah thats what I was thinking too. I just find it strange that they mention it for some waxes and not others.

Good morning everyone from sunny Australia,
When it comes to the detailing products I use, I always like having a quick read of their corresponding MSDS. I'm big on safety and working with these...

Nah, no offence taken mate your suggestion solved my issue. :)
We do have a few suppliers here that can get products that PBMG stock. I went with Menzerna as the supplier had a shopfront that was...

UPDATE: I decided to start my testing with Menzerna SF3500 since it was a product I could get my hands on quickly. Just as soon as my search began it finished. 3500 finished BRILLIANTLY on the paint...

If only the name of a product was the same across the board !:p

I will most likely install a coating in the next 2 months or so. Probably CQuartz. :)

I would definitely wash it. Who knows what abrasive crud the water couldve carried with it.

Great! Thanks for that! Ill be sure to give those techniques a go. If they dont work then Im considering buying either HD polish+ as Finick suggested or menzerna 3500. Anyone tried the menserna...

Its annoying considering Ive had great luck on other cars ! :P
In regards to the products you mentioned, did you inspect the finish after it was wiped down with IPA or another oil removing solvent...

Hi everyone,

I decided to do a detail on my black Mitsubishi Lancer today. Started off with a wash, iron x, tar x, and then clay. I didnt want to remove 100% of all defects, I just wanted to...

Thanks for you clarification Mike. :)

Ill definitely have to check out out your write up. I just recently detailed my uncles car and he kept telling me clay is a waste of time and money... His...

Hey Mike and everybody else,

Hope you all had a great Easter!
My question is, are clay bars inherently abrasive? In other words, does the clay have abrasives within it to help it clean or is...

Cant go wrong with either IMO. Both are very durable products.

Once you catch it, it's with you for the rest of your life. :buffing:

Welcome to AGO mate. You sound like a valuable asset to this forum. :)

James

Great work! Thy red really does jump out at you!

James

Great job on the car mate! Very well done. :props:

I have a question about the bonnet, in the before picture the light seems to have a grainy look to it. What causes that? The reason I ask is...

Yeah pretty much what these guys said, you need to work it in more to allow the abrasives and cleaners to do their job. If it's in your budget grab a DA.

James

So just to confirm, by one pass only you mean that you applied the wax and then didnt go back over it to work the product a little longer?
