I am about to use the Optimum Compound II with a PC 7424, non XP, and LC 5.5" orange pads soon, and I had a few questions before jumping into it and wasting tons of time trying to figure it out without any know how. So I am hoping that any of you all that have worked with this product could give...

Right now I currently have a couple polishes in my arsenal, Danase Swirl Abolisher I and II, II being the stronger cut of the two. I have had these for quite a while, and in the past they have worked OK for me. Since I am starting to get my first gen 7424 out more often, I have a few cars that I...

I know that the best way to tell the paint thickness is to use a gauge. But is there really a way that you can tell when you have done it enough on a car. This may kind of like a stupid noobish question, but I am starting to wonder if I am potentially thinning the finish on my car too much. My...

Chemical Guys Claims their Top Coat sealant plus carnuba provides 6 to 8 month protection, repels water, and is great at UV protection and for using on vehicles exposed to warm climates. As we all know many manufactures make claims but the results greatly vary. For those that have tried it, how...

Ok, get ready for a long post here. I'm getting really frustrated with a problem I am having with water stains and hope to get some anwsers, so I don't want to leave out any of the details. A few weeks ago I had what many in the detailing world call type ii water stains on my hood. I tried...

I could use a little help from you guys that have a one car garage. I have been actively looking to buy a house for the past few months, and after a few deals that fell trough, I have been unable to find much of anything. I have found one that I kinda like, except for one thing. It's only a 1...

I have some question that I hope you all could answer since I am considering going to smaller pads. Right now I have a PC 7427, non XP, and LC CCS 6.5" pads. I am not a professional, only a hobbyist who keeps his vehicles in good shape, so before the 6.5 worked well for me. I tried taking out...

I just wanted to see if there are any pro detailers on here in the Middle TN area (southern area Franklin, Spring Hill), preferably ones that can do mobile. Or if any of you all knew of anyone that is on a professional level. I have some water etchings on my hood, and I am afraid that I might...

Well it's been about 2 weeks since I have washed my car, and during that time there has been a mix of rainy and stormy days along with hotter and sunny days that my car has been exposed to. At the moment my car sits outside 24/7, which sucks, so it gets exposed to a lot. I happened to notice...

I have been using Collinite 845 for the past few years all year round on my car, and I have been looking to try something different. I've been sticking with the 845 because after trying many different sealants and waxes, not much else out there came close when it comes to the durability of it. A...

I am thinking about trying some of the Menzerna polishes, since reviews always seem to be good. I am not really familiar with them that much, but from doing some searching the product numbers and cut have changed through the years and it kind of gets confusing. So I'd like to get some...

I am looking to find a bottle of Danase Swirl Abolisher I, but it seems that Danase is no longer producing products site their site is no longer up. I tried The Detail Shoppe's website since they are the sellers of Wet Glaze 2.0, but they no longer have the Swirl Abolishers. I really like the...

I was wondering if you all could give me some reccomendations for polishes that are fairly easy to use (for those more at a beginner/amateur level) with the PC 7424. I am looking for something that is strong enough to eliminate some lighther water etching, but not so strong that it will create...

I recently bought both a bottle of both Meguiars 205 and 105 since they seem to be very popular in use with a lot of people here with good results, and wanted to give them a try. Plus I seemed to have somehow got some unexplained water spots/etching (I can't feel them with my fingernail so I...

I am trying to get some water marks that are covered on the hood of my car right now that I noticed after washing it. The car did have some gravel dust and dirt on it, and the weather has been kind of on and off storm chances for a little while, so I didn't bother washing it. The other night it...

I have been going back and forth on how I plan on fixing an annoying rock chip on the front bumper on my car, and I think I have narrowed the choices down to using the Dr Colorchip system if it is safe to use for my application. The front bumper on my car has been repanted, so using a system...

The other day I managed to get a rock chip on the front bumper of my car, and it has been driving nuts big time ever since:mad: So I need some help and advice on touching it up. Normally, I don't worry about the tiny ones that are hard to notice but this one is fairy decent sized IMO and...

I have been applying 845 by hand as long as I have used it, and want to try it with the PC if I could. The thing is, 845 seems so watery and liquidy I am not sure if applying it by machine will give the best application vs by hand. Anyone here apply 845 with the PC? Have you found there to be...

I was wondering how often you all that are frequent Zaino Z9 and Z10 users actually apply each to your interior? I have been usually doing it every month or so, but I have been thinking of going a little longer. It has been making me wonder lately if excessive treatments could keep the leater...

I am looking to order some more of the Poorboys products that I use (since the 16oz sizes just doesn't last any more with the use I have been giving them) but I am looking to get them in a 32oz this time. Does the Poorboys products in the 32oz size come in similar flip top lid squeeze bottles...
