  2. Poll: Re: POLL - What's the number one most important factor when it comes to polishing paint?

    I picked Techique #1, but then contemplated between technique and tool. So Tool would be my strong #2 or could even be #1 if i can pick two. I feel for the most part, someone doesn't need to be an...

    Re: How am I scratching my car?

    IME, EVERYTHING will scratch your car. Depending on the paint system, some will be more obvious while others won't be as obvious. I always reference soft paint. You can scratch it by just sliding...
  4. Re: Why doesn't anyone make buffing pads that are curved/concave to the surface of the panels?

    I realized on modern cars, EVERY panel has a bit of convexity(<-- i just had to look that word up..lol) The hood, roof, doors, and even trunk lids are mostly slightly bowed. My 92 nissan sentra's...
  5. Re: Why doesn't anyone make buffing pads that are curved/concave to the surface of the panels?

    thanks!! ask and I shall receive! I guess the key phrase is "variable contact" I'll give those a try for sure! Doesn't look to be all that common? Searching in google doesn't show much. On...
  6. Re: Why doesn't anyone make buffing pads that are curved/concave to the surface of the panels?

    Thanks, i'll give BOSS MF pads a try, but I haven't really needed to use MF pads since my biggest battle has been black, soft paint. My cars aren't scratched too bad, so haven't gone all that...
  7. Why doesn't anyone make buffing pads that are curved/concave to the surface of the panels?

    I recently bought a Rupes 21 Mark 2 kit w/ 7" pads and realized I don't even use the entire surface area of the pad due to the size and the panel I'm working on. It was on a door. I got pretty good...

    Re: Can't remove micromarring

    lol, I know where you're coming from. But, in the end, you'll learn a lot from this 1st go around or this type of paint. Sorry, I don't have any experience w/ cquartz finest. I've only used...

    Re: Can't remove micromarring

    Sounds like you have soft paint. From my experience, Meguiars has some really good budget friendly compounds and polishes up to a certain stage. If you're looking for perfection, you may need to...
  10. Re: What have you done after paint coating's life span?

    I think he's just implying he went thru bunch of different coatings w/ different cars.
  11. Re: What happens to Nano Ceramic coat after N years

    I think we can understand the coatings better if you know the thickness. Use the thickness as your guide on how the coating behaves.

    From what I gathered;
    - coatings are permanent. They'll...
  12. Re: Review: McKee's 37 Turbo Car Dryer - Comparison With Master Blaster And Sidekick

    Not seeing this review, i just bought the metro sidekick a couple weeks ago. Initially, feeling the power with my hands, i was impressed. Putting my hand next to the outlet, it was able to move my...
  13. Re: Brand New 2017 Championship White Civic Type R Walk-Around Findings

    This car is going to be a weekend warrior, if that at times. So, mainly garage queen for now... lol. I've been trying for this car since the launch date was reviewed or maybe before that. Like lots...
  14. Re: What have you done after paint coating's life span?

    Thanks! what does it mean exactly for it to be semi permanent? So does it have the properties of a permanent coating, but breaks down or wears off like a traditional wax/sealant where i don't have...
  15. Re: Brand New 2017 Championship White Civic Type R Walk-Around Findings

    Thanks for the congrats everyone. The coating part is where I'm at a stand-still right now. Not sure what to do, so I may just do the old school Meg Carnabu wax formulation while I figure it out. ...

    Re: Removing polishing compound?

    I'm not a pro by all means, but I found using the correct MF towel and Mike Philips 10% IPA dilution works for me. When I say the correct MF towel, I mean some MF towels don't wipe well, they smear....
  18. Re: What have you done after paint coating's life span?

    Thanks for the responses. Hmmm, i was initially awed by ceramic coating, but now I feel like I just a need a good sealant and top it off w/ a wax or something. Wolfgang Uber Sealant looks real good...
  19. Re: Brand New 2017 Championship White Civic Type R Walk-Around Findings

    no additional pictures, but I wanted to follow up that i was able to remove all of the sanding or buffing marks using Meg Yellow pad with Meg UP. It cleaned it right up looking like LSP or fresh new...
  20. What have you done after paint coating's life span?

    Hello,

    I can't seem to find much info on what people do AFTER their paint coatings advertised life span. So what has everyone done on here after their coating? Did you polish the existing...
  21. Re: Mckees 37 new formula paint coating

    Thanks for the review. Can you elaborate on your method of cleaning the pump and the applicator pads? I have this issue. It seems to leak around the base after my initial use.
    Also, did you use...
  22. Re: Pictures - 1988 BMW M3 - D166 Show Car Makeover!

    Thanks. I've been going to those already. If I have time, i'd like to go to their wet sanding class in Oct. Nothing against Meguiars, but they only use their own products and rightfully so. ...
  23. Re: Pictures - 1988 BMW M3 - D166 Show Car Makeover!

    autogeek should have a place in SoCal! way too far for me or I'd be there every weekend if not every day! Loving all of this!
