OK - did a major detail last week - see here; http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=69335 I have a large size Klasse SG on the way now so I can lay on 3+ layers of glaze :) I'm dealing with some pretty reasonable fallout and brake dust (each week I end up with grade 120 abrasive...

:mad: Grrr - just did a huge detail yesterday - see post here; http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=69335 It must be where I park it - I don't see what's so bad about it though - I avoid the trees, park in the middle of the carpark not near the busy roads... But every day it gets...

Just did a full 8 hour detail on the weekend - pics to follow :) The process I used was; 1) Wash - Megs Gel Wash. 2) Clay - Sonus Extra Fine with Sonus Glyde. 3) Polish (hood only for swirls) - Megs #9. 4) Wash - Megs Gel Wash. 5) Chamois dry. 6) Klasse AIO with Sonus SFX Finishing Pad...

I always find that I am getting my MF cloths etc mixed up when I am working several different products in stages. Started doing this today; http://autopia.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=18478&cat=500 It is a Sonus MF buffing bonnet - I have been just hanging them over the product I am...

Tried my new Hitachi RO/DA today with some Megs #9 - also tried some Sonus clay first... Thought I would share... 1) The Megs #9 was weird - it didn't seem to break down - it certainly didn't go to powder - does it normally? I just worked it around on a moderate speed then buffed off - I...

Hi Would it be safe to use ScratchX for swirls with a DA/RO (Hitachi FSV13Y)??? I am still waiting for my Sonus SFX2 to arrive but my new green pad is here so I want to try over the weekend! Thanks!

If applied with RO/DA, will Klasse AIO be enough to clean up some light spider webs and swirls? Or should I just bite the bullet and go straight to Sonus SFX2 first? Was going to try Sonus DAS Green Foam Pads...

washing swirl marks buffing swirl marks badly washed cars scratches dents ...always in other people's cars of course! ...ever since I found this forum... ...what's happening to me??? :confused: HELP! :scared:

I'm relatively new to detailing and thought I might be able to skip this step... until today! I have a new (1 month old) car with metallic silver paint - I wash weekly but I did my first polish/wax today (just the bonnet/hood by hand) using Meguiars Wet Look Polymer Sealant (or Meguiars Cleaner...

Just wondering whether there are any Australian Autopians out there planning a shipment of FK1 products? I just placed an order and the freight will cost as much as the products!! :scared: I am getting mine sent to Perth but a redistribution in Australia to share the cost would be a good option!

Hi I am about to have some new paint work done to repair damage to my new car :sadpace: My question is - how should I care for the new paintwork? What do I need to take into account for washing etc? I live in Australia so the climate is pretty warm so I would have thought it will cure pretty...

:furious: Well - I got up nice and early today to start work on these bonnet cuts - see previous posts here: http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=67849 http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=67185 http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=67341 Before anything I did anything...

Just wondering whether there are many Australians out there on this forum? Would love to find a PRO in Perth, Western Australia :buffing: Cheers!

Just wanted to check before I buy... :drool:

I have a 2006 Subaru Forester and will be compounding (medium cut) the bonnet front edge on the weekend (yes me again)... I was going to use Meguiars "Professional Medium Cut Cleaner" or "Diamond Cut Compound 2" (is this clear coat safe?) as ScratchX didn't make much of an impression when I...

*Cringe* - sorry couldn't resist... I've been posting in this thread for the last few days here http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=67185 and I will be trying to compound out some scratches/paint cuts next week. My question is - how should I go about this without damaging the...

Anyone have any good ideas on how to fix this (attached)?? Very fine cuts (can only been seen close up). Am I looking at full sand back and respray job or could it be touched up? The stuff nearby is clear film... And yeah - someone else did it :furious: - new car too... It's in a few...
