I will be using some #82 SFP to remove minor hazing I got after DACP. I have a LC yellow pad, which is pretty much the only pad I use, is it fine for what I plan to do or do I need a white one, which I dont like too much.

Hit the car with DACP and a LC yellow cutting pad applied with my PC. Swirls came out nicely. I just recently noticed, in just the right light, at just the right angle and only on a couple panels I got some haze. I hit the car yesterday with a white LC pad and SMR. I thought I got it, but I...

I dont know if I put this in the right area but :o going with it anyway.... I have noticed, and not just on my Honda, but across the board, Japanese paintjobs are very very good. I notice more OP on alot higher end cars. The more I think of it the more I realize, I never have really seen a...

I am detailing this weekend, going to hit some swirls with my PC and a LC yellow pad with DACP Anyway, I notice on my front lip I have some swirls too, how do I get in the smaller areas where I cant go with a buffer? Do it by hand? Glaze it? Thanks for the help....

I inspected a set last week in the store and they really felt nice and plush. I would think they couldnt scratch the paint but thought I would ask first. Can I use this to buff off polish and wax residues or not?

They arrived today, which means if the weather holds out here in NJ I can begin the swirl removing on my 99 civic. YEAH!!! I must admit though, the anxiety of it is killing me, I cant take the waiting. I am worried the swirls wont come out, although they dont look too bad. They appear...

Just curious, I MIGHT break out the DACP on my Honda next weekend. Thinking of also going FI II. If I do however go the DACP route I know it requires a good working in till it dusts and that it has diminishing abrasives. Because of this does it work itself down to a finer polish? Meaning, if...

Well, detail season will be coming up shortly here in NJ. I know I plan to do my car very soon. I always get like this though, I devise my plan, get anxious, and WORRY like hell. I always think, what if I cant get those swirls out :o My plan is simple, yet effective, some say start less...

I entered my 1999 Si in a car show for March 27th, Honda-Acura Challenge at Englishtown in NJ. Any of you NJ guys wanna come along I plan to bring some people along with me for when I show my car :xyxthumbs Anyway, in preperation heres what I plan to do, I decided on a no BS approach to the...

I got some medium to light swirls on my civic and was wondering about these polishes. Hows the application? Breakdown time? Results? Opinions? Advice on another product? Thanks.

My car was hit on Dec 29th The whole front was repainted in early January Is it too soon to buff it with a mild abrasive to get some fine wetsanding swirls out?

Look for my other post why, but I am in a MUST BUFF CAR base right now. Since I must, I think I will try a new product. I did the last buff session with 3M machine polish followed with 3M SMR and was pleased with the results. This time I think I will go for this routine: 1) Wash 2)...

I bought CMA pads last year and want to replace them with new, I liked them alot. I was 99% sure they were 6" pads. I looked on www.properautocare.com where I got them the first time and all they have are 7.5" pads that dont look like the ones I had last season. Whats going on?

Yeah, so my car recently went in for the 60k service. I know my service rep very well by now, and he knows that if he washes my car I would kill him, he makes sure they are careful with my car. Well my appointment comes today and my service rep had an emergency and called out, so some other...

I was wondering some general info on this stuff. Mainly what it is, how it works, and how you use it. I think I got a rough idea, also, can this swirl your car up? Finally, where can I get it and/or read more about it? Thanks guys.:xyxthumbs

Well I have gotten and kept my baby pretty swirl free. More than likely I wont be doing any major buffing come this spring. I will probably just go over it with a light swirl remover and a polishing pad and follow up with my protectants. Heres my questions though: 1) I have a nice set of...

Well last spring - summer I buffed out my swirls and was protecting with Klasse. I loved it, BUT I did feel that the Klasse left a little bit of a "sterile" look to it, it didnt quite "pop" enough for me. I was toying with the idea that since most of my swirls are out maybe switching to zaino...

Long story short Bought racing seats Want to match the rear seats, black cloth Upholstery shop wants about 500 **** that, too much How can I have this done cheaper? Can I do it myself if I get the fabric for a fabric store, follow the stock patterns and take my time? Help me out guys.

Well alot of snow got dumped on my baby here in NJ. The roads have tons of salt and sand on them. So heres my questions: 1) Should I be taking my car to a do it yourself place and maybe spraying it down when it creeps above freezing now and then, maybe even spray it with their soap and then...
