I'm Dan and I'm a clean freak!!! Unsuccessfully working towards a type B personality! Nowhere even close to it! My wife will suggest "OCD"! :D

I'm Ok with being who I am!

Well here's my dilemma, late last summer I went and bought a 1999 Corvette and the paint finish on the car is pristine!! The paint looks an inch thick/deep! Unfortunately; I have two other vehicles that I thought were clean and now I realize how much I need paint finish corrective action on both of them!! And; I need to keep the Vette in the same or even better condition!

Thank God for the internet, which lead me to you folks!! I've spent a bit of time researching and will spend more than time before I'm finished. I'll be spending $ on the products I need to keep things looking the way they should! I know there's always more than one way to skin a cat, and I'll be asking you knowledgeable folks for help as I tread through these murky waters.

My feeling at this moment is to approach with caution using clay, the PC7424XP and some 5.5 hex-logic pads, with maguiares 105/205.

One question for all of you; and I'll preface by stating that I'm no youngster, how long has the foam master gun and the two bucket wash been common practice??? :wall



Enjoying you guys (and gals) already!! :lol:

Hey Dan,

Welcome to AF. Foam cannons, Foam guns, and the two bucket wash method with grit guards has been around for several years. It's probably one of the safest ways to reduce marring when washing your car.
 
Welcome to AF!

The two-bucket method of washing has been popular (among us detailing freaks) for the last 10-12 years. I first started hearing about foam guns 5-6 years ago, but I am sure they have been used longer.

Your selection looks like a great start!

I could kick myself for not hearing about this before I messed up the clear coat on all the vehicles I've owned over the past years!

Now I have something to look forward to! :D


Thanks for the welcome.

I wish the cleaning methods would have been common knowledge years ago. I had a peek in the forum and have read some of your threads. My selection of products was influenced by some of your statements and explanations. I know that I have found a wealth of information in this forum and it's because of input from people like yourself! Thanks

Welcome to AutopiaForums!

Thanks!

Welcom to AutopiaForums from nearby Kitchener. This is a great place to get all the information you will ever need to care for your cars.

Welcome!

While way more expensive, I would go the M101/M205 route. It's so much more newb friendly ;)

M105 is now obsolete in my arsenal. I will probably never buy it again as long as I can get my hands on M101 :D

^ AGREED!
M101 is much cleaner, friendlier and easier to use. It leaves a nicer finish that is very close to LSP ready in one step.

Welcome to AF!
