waiting for pics

i know black cars are an ABSOLUTE ***** to keep clean, but they look very good after its all said and done

 

Some products and approaches are a little off, in my opinion

A different read:

click me

pay particular attention to the clay bar thing

 

Huh, okey-doke. I guess I just picked the crappy color.

 

Products are personal opinion and found with experience...I use new ones all the time, these are just some of the ones I was using last June, I have more in my arsenal amost every month. I figure people want to use things that have been approved by others as good "go to's", just as you would want a good boost controller or wideband.

I don't see anything off (so far), in fact that article is VERY vague with it's explanation of how to clay...and it's not just for paint overspray, its for anything on top of the clear coat/paint.

I also noticed it said to go to a glaze right away for light scratches/swirls....glazes contain fillers, which don't get the scratch out, just cover it up.

If there are any sections (so far) that you would like me to go into more depth, I'd be happy to, just PM me and I'll be on it!



Sorry for the wait on pics guys, I need to actually finish detailing my car to get the pics, which won't happen until later this month, as I'm busy with school during every day of the week and customer cars on the weekends; Lambos have priority over my car since I get paid because of them .

 

what about blue coral compounds? are they any good to use. we use them at carmax and as soon as they run it on the carwash the wax just comes off.

 

Can I just pay you to do this for me?

 

Mitch will be taken care of my baby come Saturday. Pics to follow. Thank Mitch.

 

Yes you can .

 

Yes I will .

 

very nice write up! If you like trying new products try 4star its my friends company call and ask for sam and make sure RJ told you and he will take care of you to the fullest. the link to his product is in my sig. his direct number is 941-587-8752.

 

I have 4 Star UPP, Leather Cleaner, and Conditioner...I'm pretty familiar with them .

 

he just came out with an UPP gel which is alot nicer than the liquid. I use all his products and realy like the shapoo since it is ph balanced

 

Yeah, the Leather Cleaner Gel is the one I've got. Feel free to throw any products you'd (or he'd) like tested .

 

Great thread...I am bookmarking this as of NOW...Quick question: How often is polishing necessary?...I am the kind of guy who washes and waxes twice a month, about to start claybarring (been afraid to in the past), and whose paint has no swirl-marks at all. Is this type of thing usually used as a repair, or do professionals do it before every wax?

[EDIT]:: P.S. looking forward to that wheel cleaner portion...Also, I have heard that most products will have negative effects if applied in sunlight, is this a myth or is it just "easier" to remove when applied indoors?
Thanks in advance
