Who's got them? I read a lot about these pads and they look really good. I like the fact that you can use the outer part of these pads when polishing in tight spaces and contours! Anyone try them? How do you like it?

Haven't posted here in a long time. Glad to be back! Just wondering which product is more aggressive. I have DACP already but am curious about Menzerna IP and thinking of buying it.

Can someone recommend a good wax for winter that has durability without having to reapply it like every 3 weeks? And would you use a paste or liquid wax?

So far I have DACP, a layer of Menzerna FP, then AIO, then 4 coats of SG. If I want to do a major detail to prepare for the winter can I use Menzerna FP(after washing and claying of course) over the SGed paint? Will it remove the layers of AIO and SG? That way I can start fresh again with...

Do you guys get dusting when using FP with the PC on 5? I tested it on the hood today with a white pad and noticed after a few minutes of buffing I saw dust going on the paint surface? Should I stop buffing when I see dust? Can I buff over the dust or will that just marr the paint? Or should...

Lets say I'm using DACP and a yellow pad. After doing two or three panels the pad gets caked. Instead of switching pads,since I only have one yellow pad, is it fine to just clean the pad with dawn and then put it back on the pc and spin dry and reuse?

I was reading the ultimate detailing book and I read that you should not buff on and edge...only up to it. And on peaks or bumpy parts of the car you should slow down buffer speed. Does that only apply to the rotary? Is it ok to use the PC on edges or ridges and not burn the paint?

Previous owner probably hit the curb causing these scratches under the front bumper. Is there a way I can take it out? I know it will require lots of wetsanding. Here's a pic:

I'm going to test DACP on half the hood on my black Harley truck. The hood has swirls and some minor scratches. I did a search already on DACP and learned that it causes hazing if not worked on long enough. How many minutes should I be working DACP until buffing it out? Do I have to use...

I'm planning to use Orange Blast for my undercarriage. There are some painted areas on the undercarriage and I was wondering if its ok to use Orange Blast on painted areas. WIll it remove paint?

This is the white pad that came with the PC. I don't care for it now as I have 2 velcro backed white pads from CMA. I think I ripped it by accident when I was squeezing it as I was rinsing the pad. Here's some pics:

I have been reading about rubbing compounds on sites such as this and others(CMA, etc.) I read somewhere that rubbing compounds should only be applied by hand and not on clear coated paints. Then I read an article on CMA site about removing swirls and there were pics of the guy using a PC with...

I called my local auto detailing shop(PAL Automotive) to ask how much DACP was. The guy said $27.40 for a gallon. Is that a good price? If it is I'll go pick one up ASAP!

Ordered a 7424 from coastaltools.com yesterday. I can't wait to get it. I read that new PC owners usually buy a set of pads. I checked out the vendors that sell it but still not sure where I should get it. I guess it wouldn't matter where I get it. What vendor did you get your set of pads from?

I am following the removing nicks and scratches procedure on bettercarcare.com. It said on the article to put a thin coat over the nick/scratch SEVERAL times and let dry between each coat. How many coats should I be applying before starting to wetsand it? I wetsanded one of the touched up...

I still have the #9 with the old label from like 5 years ago. I see today's #9 has a different logo. Does that mean it has a different formula?

Truck that is! They're kinda blurry because there was wind when I was taking pics of the truck so I couldn't get the camera still. Shoulda used a tripod. I'll be taking more pics as these are not the best.

I applied 303 on all the plastic and rubber trim on my truck twice this month. I applied it with a mf pad, let the 303 penetrate for 5-10 minutes and then buffed off with another mf towel. It has been raining in NJ for the past 4 days and I can see streaks of 303 film on the black paint. Its...

First I used a damp MF towel to remove the dust off. Then I used Sonus(first time using it) spraying it on the paint and wiping with the damp mf towel. After that I used an ultimate detailing towel waffle weave type(from autopia car care) and buffed it. I noticed when I tried to buff it, the...

WHen you wash wheels do you like to just spray a wheel cleaner and then use a soft brush OR do you use wheel cleaner and a carwash solution with the brush to clean?
