so i always wash with ONR (and now adding OCW to the mixture) and then dry using some FK 425. i thought, "hell, why don't i just combine all 3 when i wash?" i put about a shot of each in a bucket and added water. the car looked great and dried much smoother than normal. is this a good...

i literally bought my car brand new today. brought it home and washed with ONR. didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but there are 2 racing stripes--one is matte gray, one is gloss red. the gloss red i noticed after drying is swirled and marred. nothing was caught in the MF WW, the vinyl...

i could spend hours researching products on this site and get so confused and not any better off :nervous: i have previous experience with nxt and meguiar's #16, and recently with bfwd. that is it. i like the former combo, and thought bfwd was just okay. that's about all i have in my...

getting a new 2012 camaro next week. it is the 45th anniversary edition with vinyl stripes down the middle. i want to polish it up with some bfwd pretty quick. i'm also planning on getting a clear bra on the front bumper and the side rear gill area (right in front of the rear tires). i can't...

i'm considering this on the front bumper only in order to prevent rock chips, etc. on a dark colored car i feel this is almost a must, or just expect to get a repaint every other year on the bumper. what's the process of putting one on, and how many of you guys recommend it? do you polish...

i polished my bmw with pads + polish about 2 months ago and BFWD was the last coat. i wash it with optimum and use a mitt and microfiber drying/finishing towels bought from pakshak. i usually use the mit, then the drying towel, then a finishing towel to soak up anything left behind. my car is...

ugh, started polishing my car. got through the wash, the clay, started with the optimum compound and got 35% of the way through and started seeing black crap fly all over the place. the backing plate was coming apart on my PC. can i buy them anywhere locally in dallas? i just don't want to...

i bumped my bumper the other day and it took some paint off and scuffed up the paint below the missing paint area. the area is relatively small at about 3 inches long, but long enough to require a damn repaint of the bumper. as frustrated as i am, i was wondering what the harm is in attempting...

over the holidays i'm going to be polishing/detailing my recently purchased bmw 530i. i have owned a PC for several years and have plenty of experience with my old camaro, but since i did this last on the camaro, new recommended products have surfaced (no surprise). so in a sense, i guess i am...

my navy blue metallic camaro and monaco blue bmw are very similar colors as far as the tone is concerned. the camaro (i don't own anymore) was 10 years old and with NXT and #16 not only looked very rich and deep, had a lot of longevity (or so it seemed). i would use some FK55 after every wash...

i have been refraining from taking my PC and polishing my new 2007 bmw (monaco blue) until i get my personal garage later this year, but this weekend i decided to put a coat of BFWD on my car by hand to hold me off until i get the garage. the day after i noticed the hood had a lot of dust, so i...

i had a navy blue metallic camaro before this bimmer, and used a tropi-care light polish to remove light scratches which i really liked (though the dealership halos on my bimmer may require something like DACP first :rolleyes:). then i used to follow that up with NXT 2.0 and Meguiar's #16. it...

i have a very light scratch that i haven't noticed for a while on the lower portion under my driver's side door handle. it spans about 12 inches...looks like someone just brushed up against it. don't know if it happened when i got my windows tinted or what (even if it did happen there, what...

i bought a CPO BMW yesterday and upon further inspection am catching a few flaws with the paint. probably you give me 6 months of ownership and i won't care, heh. but when i first buy things i hate, hate, hate small defects or blemishes (should have seen me the first time i dropped my iphone...

i live in an apartment complex with a parking garage, and for some reason we have a number or stray cats that live in the complex. when it's summer time, it seems like the cats aren't interested in sleeping on your cars (too hot), but when it's winter time they love to get on your hood and...

i live in an apartment and i have like 1 opportunity all year to detail my car...it's when i go home for christmas. this year i got two beautiful door dings in my car, one just last week. the first one didn't annoy me a lot but the second one does, problem is i don't think i have enough time...

i have some detailing towels that i have had a while. they really haven't gotten a lot of use, but you know there is the occasional wipe where you accidentally go over a dirty area and get the towel dirty. even after a regular wash several of my detailing towels have dark stains of dirt. is...

is FK1 still a good product to use after washing with ONR, or does ONR do a good enough job itself as a wash/QD?

backing out of my driveway hit my neighbors car. did a lot of damage to her car given the slow speed i was going. barely did anything to my car. just about 3 or 4 dime sized paint chips and then some scuff marks a little. buffed it but the marks didn't come out. next plan should be what? i...

i have a dark blue camaro and i use tech wax 2.0 and live in dallas. i don't know why, but i have the worst dusting problem in the world. last night i parked my car in the garage after washing/waxing it. this morning i open it up and i can see the sun's reflection on the car and it is solidly...
