well my car has been garageless for about the last 9 months. at first i had my car keyed, then i had a body shop do a bad job and cover most of the back end of my camaro with clear coat overspray. then the cats got on my car and scratched it. not to mention the entire 9 months a sprinkler was...

so i told the body shop they got thick overspray all over the back of my car. they said they will just use a compound that will take it right off without taking off the actual (good) clear coat of my car. what would they use to do this? they also got it on the body under my spoiler...should i...

so my camaro got keyed on the driver's door and rear quarter. i got it repainted about 6 weeks ago, and ever since i've had nothing but problems. firstly, it had swirls all over it; they might have existed because of a crappy car cover, but only the newly painted surface was damaged. they...

i got my car repainted about 5 weeks ago. i think the shop buffed it and then put polish on it (i would assume body safe polish?). i think it was a tropicare product. anyway, last week while under the car cover, the newly paint got severely scratched. we buffed the scratches out, put NO...

so i had a car cover on my car for the last 3 weeks since the car got out of the shop with a repainted door/quarter. now there are swirls ALL over the area that was repainted, along with some other unfamiliar swirls/scuff marks on various other parts of the car. the only thing i can think...

i need something good. lol. it's for an outside car. i want something that protects from wind/rain (waterproof) and all that stuff. what are ya'lls suggestions?

someone keyed the **** out of my car last night. i don't know who it was or why they did it. i had just washed my car, so they probably did it because it was a nice looking car. i also don't know what to do about it. it goes from about my mirror on my driver's side all the way to the...

so my car now has two or three spots where bird crap landed on it and left a clear residue that does not come off with QD, clay bar, or even the PC. what the hell is in bird **** that makes it do this, and is there any way to get it off?

honestly, i can't tell that big of a difference between my car with #16 on it and without it. maybe i'm just crazy. #16 is a hell of a lot of work to put on/off, too, when i can just use the nxt with a PC and be done with it. is it really worthwhile for me to go to the extra trouble to put on...

i put nxt on my car last night around 11. i drove my car today, and although it's probably pretty clean, i know there is some dirt/dust on it, so i'm thinking i can just use some QD and wipe down the car and then add a fresh layer of #16 on top of it, huh? i just don't want to have to wash it...

i have my 7424, and last october i used #83 with a cutting pad, #9 with a medium pad, and then followed with nxt on a polishing pad (and then #16 later). i can see a few swirls in my dark blue car again and want to revitalize the finish. i have #83, #9, and menzerna IP that i can use (although...

how far can this stuff travel to work it's way on your car? i have a garage, but all the apt complexes in this area are getting painted and i have to drive by them. i'm just wondering approx. how many feet paint overspray can travel, cause i don't want to have to reclay my car to get the stuff...

i've got a dark blue car which i polished with a 7424 and a cutting pad with #83, followed up with a medium pad with #9, and then finished with a finishing pad and nxt back in october. in january i added another coat of nxt and then topped it with meguiar's #16. i'm seeing some visible...

a local guy wants me to detail his car. by "detail" i'm sure he means that he wants me to start with something like 83, use some 9, then finish it up with nxt all with a buffer. on a normal sized car, i'm just wondering a good price to charge him. i would have all the products of course. and...

i'm leaving my apartment and my garage to visit my parents for a few days during christmas. unfortunately, i have to park outside there. i don't mind being outside so much, but i definitely mind the facts that they have 2 cats. although they have a lot of land and i've never personally seen a...

this is nearly a rhetorical question to some, but i'd like to know how often i can do this. i don't need to do it at the current moment, but i have noticed a few spots on the car that got a few light scratches that need to be PC'd out.

alright, i have a navy blue metallic paint job and i have severe smearing problems (not really severe). basically, i just recently bought a polisher and did the whole car. i used DACP and then followed up with NXT, and even used Colorx on the hood, spoiler, and top. anyway, i tried using...

i run a hose from my kitchen sink, out the door, and use it to wash my car. my kitchen tap water is what caused the water spots (when it dried). i know the simple solution is to just dry the car fully (duh), but i'd kind of like to completely rid myself of washing my car with unnecessary...

so i PC'ed my car just the other day, and put nxt on it as the final coat. when i did this, ALL the water spots were removed. anyway, it rained two days later and obviously the sun dried the water droplets, and now after i washed my car, those spots are there AGAIN! they aren't as prominent...
