    Does Meguiars #9 have to be followed by #7 or #3?

    Just curious. I'll buy it if I need to. I will be topping with Souveran and using a PC. Thanks! Joe

    Where would I find replacement pads for my PC?

    I'd like to find them locally (Detroit, Michigan area) rather than mail order. I want to polish this weekend. Thanks, Joe

    Anyone tried the 3M glaze foam pad?

    It is 7 inches across so it's a bit big for the PC but would probably work. it is black and looks like a bunch of foam "cones" with blunt tips. Kind of strange actually. My local body shop carries them and they are $25 each (canadian money) Worth a shot with Meguiars #9 or shoudl I try something...

    What can I use to clean paint and hide or remove swirls before Platinum?

    Obviously clay, then a polish but which one? Are they cross compatible or should I avoid some? MY car has light swirls if any and the paint is in really good shape. Thanks, Joe

    Will Platinum paint cleaner hide swirls?

    or can you suggest something different? MY car doesn't have lots of swirls just a few here and there, otherwise the finish is A1. Just curious if it is a gentle chem cleaner or if it's abrasive. I plan to use my PC to apply. I am a Souveran user looking to try something else. Thanks, Joe

    Got my car back from the body shop but.......

    there are some swirls I can see in the bright sun that they either forgot to polish out or did a half *** job. Color match is perfect though so I can't complain to much. Should I take it back or try myself using a swirl remover and my PC? Obviously I'll have to use one of Meguiars body shop safe...

    HOw to tell a body shop you want PERFECT results?

    My car went in for paint today ( I hit a woodchuck). Anyway, the shop I took it to paints lots of cars but mainly does Ferrari's, Mercedes, BMW's etc. It's my nature to say " do a good job" but I don't want to insult him as he regards himself as an artist. Should I just keep my yapper shut otr...

    Suggestions for a good tire dressing?

    I don't like the greasy ky jelly look. I prefer a deep satin black that won't fling up on my yellow paint. Any suggestions? Thanks a ton! Joe

    Blackfire or Platinum??? Dying to try something other than Souveran.

    I was thinking about Blackfire but read that after a few washes it loses it's "slickness" I like that feeling and I get it with Souveran even though i have to reapply every month. How do the Platinum products hold up? Any thoughts or advice? Thanks, Joe

    How long will Souveran last if I.......

    use the Pinnacle QD after every wash. Can I get by a month without rewaxing or should I increase the frequency of the wax? Just curious as sometimes I just don't have the time to do a full wax. Thanks, Joe

    Is it true my Souveran yellows?

    Take a look here. This fellow claims that once he removed the carnauba his white was whiter. I think it would be a lighting difference more than anything. Care to comment? http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=300250 Thanks, Joe

    how do these mobile detailers do it?

    I mean come to your work, wash your car and wax it??? Maybe even detail the engine and interior. Where do they get the water? How about electricity? What if it's in a sunny parking lot or next to a dusty busy road? Am I missing something here or what? Thanks, Joe

    Yosteve or Tascar MF towels. Which ones are better?

    Or are they so close in quality it doesn't matter? Will be using to dry off my car and also want to use them to remove Souveran. Thanks, Joe

    Should I try this???

    I am very happy with Souveran on my Millenium yellow Z06 but I was thinking of trying Klasse and then Souveran over top. What is the general concensus on this approach? Good or bad? Opinions truly appreciated. Joe

    Hi there

    I thought that was a myth. Anyone know for sure? If so I'll switch to terry towels or MF. Thanks, Joe

    1995 Honda Accord Extreme Makeover

    I am not used to this microfiber towel idea and don't want to buy the wrong ones. I really only want to use them for drying my car. I'm tired of the chamois routine. I know there are different types but want the most gentle one out there. Griot's carries some but they are usually way more dough...

    Happy Birthday Nonwelder

    Hi All, I'm curious if all QD's are created equal or if some are better than others. Do you have any favorites and if so why? Thanks, Joe
