I have an 02 Dakota with great shiney flaw free paint, except for very minor swirls. What would be a good polish to take care of these. I have 3M perfect it 05996, Meguiars Medallion, and Pinnacle paint cleaner in my aresenal. Also have Blackfire polish and sealant. I'm new to the machine...

What category would the 3M 05996 polish for dark cars be in as far as cutting power. Medium, light, etc? I was reading on here and this number was never mentioned and this is the one that I have on hand. :thx

The buffer really does make a difference! My daughters 90 Mazda MX6 hadn't seen wax from when she was bought until I bought it for her 2 years ago! My sister bought it new and took it to the spray wash 4 times a year. The paint on top of the car was so bad there was absolutely no reflection...

Hello, is there still a list showing what all the abbreviations mean? That makes it easy on us new guys. If not can we start a thread or email them to me and I'll make a list. Thanks. [email protected]

Has anybody used or know how good the Griots machine is? I'm looking to upgrade my craftsman 10" random orbital and have read reviews on most of the machines except the Griots, any input would be appreciated! :help:

Has anyone else here tried Professionals Favorite No More Crack and Peels Vinyl protectant? I picked some up last year at Advanced Auto Parts on sale, it was cheap and thought what the heck. I was very surprised at the results! It goes on very oily and shiney, but dries to a satin finish...

I've read on here that people put a carnuba over Klasse to give it more shine and depth. The only Carnuba's I have here are Mothers California Gold and Meguiars Gold Class. Would these be ok to topcoat with? And which of the two would be better?

I've taken good care of my car for years as far as cleaning and waxing. But I'm relatively new to buffing out swirls and flaws in the paint. My question is, for bad swirls and cloudy paint from a car cover how much time would you spend on a hood or fender with the buffer? I realize this will...

How do you get all the writing on the windows of cars off that the dealers puts on it? I cleaned it off and you can't see it, but everytime it frosts, rains or gets humid you can still see the outline of it. I used window cleaner, barkeepers friend, and soap to get it off but none of these...

I Klassed my car several weeks ago, and in anticipation of the coming winter and the road salt I want to give my car another coat of the SG. What prep do I need to do? The other day at my wifes work they mowed and covered her car with grass and heavy dust. Would a wash with megs gold and a...

Would the Meg's Soft Wash Gel or the Deep Crystal be good to use after using Klasse? I know these worked well with my cars before, but I used a carnuba wax then. Thanks! :nixweiss

Here are some pics I tooks after about 9 hours of work on my car. I claybared, used Pinnacle paint cleaner, the the Klaase twins. Megs Final Inspection in between SG coats. Also my daughter working on her Mazda M6 using Mothers, and my next detailing project sitting in the driveway. Click...

Recently we moved to a rental house with the hardest water I've ever seen. My cars would literally be white after washing, water streaks, and spots galore, even after drying! So I went to Home Depot and bought a whole house filter and adapted it to fit on my garden hose. Problem solved! The...

Does any of the chains carry the Medalion stuff or is it hit and miss?

After reading all the threads on all the products I'm usually still confused on which is the best to use. Being laidoff right now I can't afford to buy things just to try them out. It would be nice if all the producers would offer free samples to try. That way everybody would know what works...

Which waxes have the reputation as being long lasting and durable? I'm not asking what the manufacters say but what the word is in here. In these Iowa winters I need something that will last from fall to spring. Thanks.

Anyone have an opinion on Liquid glass? My friend uses it and loves it. I'm trying to find a cheaper product to use until I get called back to work and can get Zaino again.

My wifes Montero has these hard black rubber running boards that are weathered gray. I've tried Westleys, tire foam, vinyl protectent, just to name a few, to get them back to black. Everything splotches and washes right off. Anybody know of a product that will work on restoring these? Thanks!

We moved to a rental in another town while our house is being built. The water is very hard and leaves spots no matter what I seem to do. We won't be there long enough to get a softener. Any ideas?

I used the Megs #9 and it took out about 1/4 of my paint flaws. I'm thinking I need something a bit more aggressive. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm new to the site so please give me info on the products name and where to purchase it, until I get to know what all the abbreviations stand...
