I just got my hood repainted and was wondering what car wash I should use when washing it. I am pretty sure I should'nt use QEW, due to the wax it leaves behind. I was thinking about either nxt or p21s because they are somewhat mild ( wont strip the 3m handglaze) and do not leave behind wax...

I just got my hood repainted and was wondering if it is alright to use S&W to clean up a little dirt. Also, since the paint is still curing, it is ok if I wash it with QEW? I thought QEW leaves a small amount of wax on the paint and this will be bad for the fresh paint because it cannot release...

I have some black specks on the lower panel of my car and I do not know how to get rid of them. I have tried claying them using a claymagic bar with a lube of 50% S&W and 50% distilled qater, but they are still there. Should I try some PB APC and see if that helps? If so, what ratio? Is my best...

It does not look like I will have time to finish working on my car for the evening and since I washed it with dawn/clayed ( none protection at all), is it ok if I park it outside for the night? It would be back in the garage before the sun has a chance to hit it. Thanks

When I use SSR 2.5 on my car with a fresh pad, I sometimes start dusting after the first 30 - 45 secs. It is not that much, but does this mean I am not using enough product? Thanks

How do you guys polish the little areas that are surrounded by car emblems/directional blinkers with a PC? Can I just go over the emblem with the PC if it is covered with tape? Also I am about 30 mins into polishing my car with SSR 2.5, and I notice that on the pad I am using that there is...

I am about 30 mins into polishing my car with SSR 2.5, and I notice that on the pad I am using that there is some dried product on it around the outer portion of the pad that touches the paint. Is this still safe to use? thanks!

If I use PB spray and wipe for a lube when claying, would it be a good idea to wash the car after I finish? I was thinking it would be a waste of time since spray and wipe does not leave any residue. The same goes if I polish my car with SSR1, should I wash my car before I put on a base coat...

Out of all the SSR's which ones do I really need? I already have DACP, so that is the equivelent to SSR3, correct? I was thinking about just ordering SSR 2.5 & SSR 1, I heard that 2.5 is just a bit more aggresive than SSR 2. Also, when I clay my car using quick detail as the lube, do I need...

The trim around my windows have etchings and overall have a grey color to them. I tried "Black Again", but it did not get rid of the spots and the color is still kinda greyish. Any there any other products I should try? I was going to be buying some SSR from the poorboy site, so i was thinking...

1.I have a yellow pad that has some dried product in it and I cannot get it out. I have put it in the washing machine and let it sit in a bucket filled with water and dawn, but it won’t come out. The product is mostly located inside the pad, not too much on the surface. Is the pad still safe...
