I do, will it be ok? I wash them using the perm cycle with warm water and let it air dry. How do you guys like your DAS pads? I find them not cutting as much as i had hoped (even the orange one).

Which one should I use? I really want to use Mothers Reflection and top it with S100 for a black Accord. However I know the Reflection has some cleaning agent in it so will it remove the #81? I haven't tried the Wolfgang (just got it) but I know that you need multiple layers for it to...

Why? Why can't I remove those damn scratches on the 2004 Accord? I am using the orange DAS pad and spends 20mins on one tiny section (3' X 3') and the scratches are still there. However the spider web shape scratches are gone. Bug etching remains, unknown white dots remains. Ughhhh...

So I started detailing an Accord at 9:30am this morning. The last time when I detailed a car which was also my first time it took well over 25 hours, but it was all by hand plus breaks here and there. Well see how this one goes since I have a spanking new PC. (9:00am - 11:00am)...

Can you believe I just waxed my cell phone? Me neither! :eek: I PlasticX the screen and the waxed it with Reflection. Lol :xyxthumbs Now the screen looks shinier then ever but still have some scratches on it. I am afraid to tell anyone because they will think I am crazy so I am telling...

I just recieved my s100 and I tried to take wax out from the can but it just can't figure out how. It seems like the bottom part of the can is attached to a spring? :think:

My PC will be arriving shortly and I want to read more on how to polish using a PC. I've read most of the articles by popular sites suggested here. But i still have some question and like to learn about other ppl's technique. For example how do you polish something that's raised above the...

We are selling a 98 Dodge Avenger and it would be nice if we can clean up the engine before showing it to any potential buyers. However how risky is it to clean the engine? We don't want to end up with electrical problems just before we sell the car. I have never done any engine cleaning...

Dodge SX2.0? Pontiac Pursuit? Chevrolet Aveo? Chevrolet Colbalt? Chevrolet Optra? No Ford Focus. It must be domestic. So what would you choose? The #1 priority here is reliability. 2nd is cost. Please share info if you have any personal experience or know of any good reviews or surveys.

I just ordered a PC and some Optimum polish to be used on a black car. This car is only 1 year old but has lots of scratches from washing. The color black makes everything worse and it's looking hazy. Do you guys think Optimum would be abrasive enough for the job? Also is this a wax ready...

At autopia-carcare.com it used to be 20% off all Sonus products. Does it still apply? Because when I entered the code Sonus it gave me a 15% off instead. Am I the only one or has the discount rate been adjusted.

I am getting the Sonus DAS polisher kit from autopia-carcare http://autopia-carcare.com/son-daspol-kit.html :xyxthumbs I comes with orange, green, blue pads (one of each). What other pads should I add to my order to complete my arsenal of pads? I will be working on a black car with...

I am getting a PC and I am planning on what pads to get. :woot2: So far i've picked out the DAS pad kit from autopia-carcare.com but I don't think that will be enough to get started. I need to fix a black car with swirls all over it (only 1 year old but looks terrible IMO). :hairpull I...

This autopia bug has finally gotten into my system and i'll go buy a PC this weekend. After spending 20+ hours on my blue car last time i figure it must be worth it. Anyway I'll be working on a black car this time with a PC. The car is one year old and it's been badly scratched and marred...

#80 ---> #81 ---> Mothers Reflection??? Someone recommanded this process on here awhile ago and I went for it. But now come to think of it, doesn't the reflection has cleansing ability? Wouldn't it remove what the #81 did? :confused:

There are so many different ones. I know their cutting ability is different but how would I know which ones are the good? I saw some Sonus ones but seems pricy. What should I buy? I want to buy a kit because then I would have all my bases covered. I need it for mostly swirl/scratch...

I did finally detail my car 2 weeks ago but how do I keep it in top shape??? I know the wax will last me a few months. Does that mean all I need from now tilll then is just basic wash and dry? Or do I have to apply quick detailer each time after a wash? What's the proper way of maintaining...

I am new at using a polisher/buffer and I don't want to spend too much on a PC. So I was wonder if one of those cheap ones are worth it at all? Like the turle wax ones. Will I end up burning or scratching the paint every easily? What's the disadvantage of them?

What's a good forum for this kind of stuff? I have some damage on my bumper that I would like to fix myself instead of pay $200+ for the pro's to do it. I basically have scratch marks that are deep enough to see the bare plastic of the bumper and indentations. I want to cover it up as...

I tried removing all the bug etching with #80 by hand and it didn't work too well. Why??? Is it not abrasive enough or am I doing it wrong? I applied with Meguiar's terry cloth and keep rubbing it until it turned clear. Would scratchX help?
