Ask a Professional Detailer
ive had my pc since 05 ive got 2 and 3 griots 2 flex's a dewalt rotory and a rupes so ya they lack some power but theyre ok. when you do this for a living you need something w some power, hence the other machines. I havent been to any gatherings in years. but i do know theres a guy w a res ws6 in houston w ccw's as well.
Just ordered M105, M205, Foam Gun, (More) Clay, Blackfire Wet Diamond, Adams VRT (been wanting to try this for a while), and some Chemical Guys shampoo for the gun (I have been using Meguair's Gold Wash and I like it).
Why does this look so different (fender and door)........ and how do I get the wax out of the grooves? I got most of it out with Q-Tips but theres still some there (this is before I used q-tips in the picture)
Yeah that orange peel is bad. Just started compounding my ws6 today finally, been puttin it off for a while. When Jeff said our paint was rock hard he wasn't kidding.
M101+orange lc pad takes a lot of passes. It doesn't help that the previous owner had to have gone through swirlomatic car washes the car's entire life. Wish I would've bought mf pads.

Verdad Gallardo Kinda what I meant. At any rate, foaming removes clearcoat? How? If it is just soap, I don't see how it would. I only plan on using M105 when my car gets some swirlmarks in it basically, and just foaming when I wash, maybe every other time I wash.
He meant the foam pad, not the soap foam.

Should m105/205 only be used by da/pc and rotary buffers. Because I used an orbital buffer and I didn't see much difference in the correction. Gonna try a couple more passes. Any tips correcting paint with a 6" orbital buffer? Its a one speed unit.
I guess I'm going to have to learn to deal with some of these RIDS. Luckily, my paint is white.
You will see very little improvement if any with an orbital buffer. It doesn't have the power or rotation that a DA polisher does.
My buddy painted for me. So it's orange peel then? Me and my friend wet sanded but he did it really quick so I think thats why the reflection is not that good.

A real professional detailer will charge 1k+ usually.... for a very good reason.
Gofast,i dont know if this topic has been covered,im redoing my int and new carpet kinda needs done,but i have to ask have you used any dies/paints to make a carpet look new,a dealer told me its something they do alot,but i never got anymore info from him,im just wondering how good that stuff is,i have a strict budget for this so saving some cash on carpet would be great,let me know your opinion
I recently acquired a 2001 c5 convertible vette with navy blue metallic paint.
It shines good but has a lot of minor scratches and swirls in sunlight/halogen light, I am interested in purchasing a porter cable or a similar buffer but wanted to know which products would be good on this paint? it's a bit darker then most.
Also, the car is originally from florida, I just noticed on an overcast day that parts of the hood on the passenger side are small blisters/bubbles only visible in certain lighting, and parts of the rear deck lid but not much there, I was wanting to know if this is able to be corrected with cutting/polishing or would it make it worse? it seems to be in the clear coat but I'm not 100%. it's mostly the hood tho, all side panels are perfect, I'm thinking the sun baked the paint on some of the flat services.
Thanks!

As for the bubbles....I have no way of knowing without seeing it. Sounds like paint separation to me.
Every product will have different temperature tolerances. Just thaw them out and try them and see if they still work.
