    Detailing Gameplan

    I'm going to be detailing my 370Z next month and I was planning on washing with Meg's Gold Class and claying with Meg's Smooth Surface kit. I also wanted to polish, seal and wax the car. However, my understanding from searching is that some (all?) polishes have some sort of abrassive...

    Even Out Clear Coat

    I have a 370Z that was just repainted after getting rear-ended. i dont believe they removed the bumper to paint since it was a little section so [i think] they covered the "370Z" emblems and did their thing. after buffing it, i noticed some compound around the emblems. i'm not a big fan of...

    Sonus vs. Meguiars

    I've read just about every article on Autopia and most of the products used are Sonus. I used to use Meguiars products from my nearby autoparts store but I just got a new car and was thinking about using the stuff they use in the articles. For washing and drying I was thinking about going with...

    White Cars - Not Rewarding?

    I'm looking into getting a new pearl white colored car. I've had my bright blue car for about 2 years and it's always rewarding when I clean it after a dirty week. I stand back after I'm finished and admire the reflection. I've had a regular white rental car, and after 2 weeks I decided to give...

    Meguiar's NXT Liquid, Paste, Spray Wax

    I performed a search but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. Obviously Meguiar's NXT wax has different forms; liquid, paste, and spray. All are applied differently but is the final outcome the same? I wanted to get the paste wax because I hear the results are better but I wanted to get...

    Deatiler Needed - Miami Area

    Just got my car repainted a few months ago. Paint is great, but when light shines on it, I see what I believe are swirl marks. A friend told me I could use a clay bar and then wax to get that out and have it looking nice but I'd rather have a reputabale person do it. Anyone know a detailing...
