    Porsche 997 Carrera S

    Here is my latest detail. The car belongs to my brother in law. He has always been very picky with his cars, but he is becoming more knowledgeable in the detailing scene because of me sharing all the great info that I have gathered on this forum. He is becoming an obsessive detailer just like...

    Would you apply carnauba over AJ?

    I am debating whether or not to top the Prime and AJ on my two cars that are white and silver with a carnauba wax and am wondering what you all would do. I have 3 coats of AJ on the silver car and will have 2 coats on the white one. I'm thinking either NXT paste wax or S100. I am leaning more...

    Have any of you ever noticed that when using the flood method for the final rinse some cars it works extremely well on whereas on others it still appears as if you rinsed with a nozzle attached? On my BMW and on my brother in laws Porsche this method works extremely well. It leaves very little...

    Finally finished doing a complete exterior detail on my car today. Polished the paint with Blackfire SRC followed by a coat of Acrylic Prime and 3 coats of AJ. I also got down and dirty with the less glamorous areas as well. :D

    FK 425 over AJ?

    Is it okay to use the FK immediately after applying AJ, or do I need to wait? I also plan on putting on another coat of AJ after the next wash. I'm assuming the FK gets taken off after a wash correct?

    Rotary speed?

    From what I have seen so far many members here seem to like to keep the buffer speed around 1000-1500rpm. I tried this speed with my Hitachi rotary yesterday and it just seems to me like thats an awfully slow speed to actually accomplish anything. Usually when I use it I set the dial to around 4...

    Blur in black paint?

    My brother in law recently put very small scratch (1/4 inch long) in his 997 Carrerra with the hose while washing it. The scratch was hardly noticeable and not very deep at all. After polishing the area with SSR 2.5 and an orange pad on a PC, I noticed a slight blur in the paint. After...
