I am almost done ordering all of the things at Autogeek. I am considering adding on the CCS foam applicator pads. I have never properly used sealant or wax. I was wondering what the best thing to use when applying wax?? The CCS wax applicator pad looks pretty good. I didnt know if microfiber...

I am about to order pads in an hour or so and wanted to make sure I order the right stuff. In the 4" size... I am only going to get 2 yellow CCS cutting pad. I figured that the only reason that I need a 4" pad is to produce a lot of heat and friction to get swirl marks out. Besides the 4"...

Hey fellas! I just found out that autogeek is having a 15% sale now so I am going to go a bit wild since I have virtually no detailing supplies! I wanted to buy the Sonus Clay, but autogeek does not carry them. Autogeek carries the Pinnacle and the Wolfgang clay. Would you guys recommend...

I was at Target the other day and I saw Meguiar’s Hot Shine Tire Gel and I remembered how much of a hassle it was when I was using the spray tire dressing. I thought it would be nice to be able to apply the tire dressing gel with an applicator and not get it all over the wheels. My...

I now have my PC and am looking for a place to buy the 106ff and SIP at, but I cannot find a website that sells both of them. I have found one that sells the 106ff, but cannot find the SIP anywhere. Is the SIP polish called something else? Please help me out so I can get all of my Menzerna...

I am using a PC on my car and will be using 106ff. I was told that in order to get correction that I must use a 4" pad since the PC capablities are limited. I was looking at the 4" pads and it says SPOT PADS..... I am assuming that you are only supposed to use it on certain spots that are...

My friend just passed to me his old PC that he never really used. I just plugged it in the wall and it seems to work just fine. I googled PC and found that there are several different models. I looked to see if I could find 7424 on it anywhere, but I couldn't find anything. It does have a 6...

I put Menzerna 106ff and SIP on my christmas list and after making a few close observations I had a question for you expert guys! I seen several websites that have the Menzerna Intensive Polish with the Menzerna Final Polish. Is the intensive polish the same thing as 106ff and the final polish...

My friend is giving me his PC since I am totally new to detailing. I know that a rotary or a flex would be more effective, but I'm new. I was hoping that you guys could answer a few questions for me! Are pad conditioners (prep) and pad cleaners really needed if you are going to be doing some...

The title is pretty self explainatory! Orginally I had ALMOST placed my order for the Einszett Perls except a lack of suds really don't appeal to me. Thats when I decided to get Ultima Paint Guard Wash, but then I read that more people use the Perls.....which one should I get!!!??????

I was reading up a few articles on how to proplery wash your car and was wondering how you guys felt about pressure washing. It seems as if most people just use a hose with no nozzle and let the water sheet off of the paint. When you rinse your car prior to washing.... don't you need to use...

I am looking at the autogeek site at the Lake Country Buffing pads. From what I see here.... Lake Country is a pretty good pad to go with. They have the 3.5 and the 4 inch size and I am not sure which one I need to go with. To further confuse things... they have the beveled edge and they...

I have previously used the micro-chenille mit and it caused marring on my vehicle so I wouuld like to get something a bit more paint friendly. I was looking at the autogeek site and saw that they have lambswool and sheepskin wash mits. Which one is more paint friendly and least likely to...

I am buying a polish to remove the swirl marks and minor marring for my vehicles (and future Audi). I hear some people using BOTH the Menzerna SIP and then using the 106ff afterwards. Is this really needed and would this produce better results than using the 106ff alone as most people do?

I probably should post some of these questions seperate, but I'll see how this goes. I am sending out my wish list soon and want to make sure I get things right especially since I am a newbie. To start with I am for sure getting either a Flex or a UDM. I need all of the other stuff which is...

I am brand new to detailing and have ZERO products. I am getting a flex and some pads for christmas, but need all of the other good stuff (Zaino, megs polish, tire dressing etc). Could anyone suggest a good online site that has all of the stuff that you guys usually use or at least has a lot of...

I have finally decided to ditch the 4Runner and am now searching for an Audi A6. I am certain that I want a A6 after initially considering a CTS. The main thing is I want my Audi to be able to show my efforts in cleaning the car. I was orginally after a black one until I found out that their...

I have changed my mind ONCE AGAIN about the car that I will purchase...... I now want a Infiniti G35 Sedan (not the coupe). The only thing is I really like the look of the factory wing and none of the local ones have wings on them so I probably will have to purchase one after buying the car...

A few weeks ago, my car was grazed by another car stratching the rear plastic fenders. In most areas it is a pretty deep stratch and looks very unappealing. I was wondering if there was any tricks in minimizing the stratch on exterior plastic??? I have heard 3M adhesive remover and also using...

I did not realize until a few days ago that Zaino does not even have any wax, instead of course they have sealant. How does this sealant differ from wax and what is it that allows the sealant to protect much longer than wax?
