<br />
<br />
I need help for my first detailing, I have a Civic Si 2008 that need some love, after reading some post here I bought a Meguiar's G110V2 and I know the steps are (I wil add some notes and questions):<br />
<br />
<br />
a) Wash (I use Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo)<br />
<br />
b) Clay (I will use Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit)<br />
<br />
c) Compound (I will use Meguiar's Ultimate Compound but I don't know the correct size and model of the pad)<br />
<br />
d) Polish (I will use Meguiar's Ultimate Polish but I don't know the correct size and model of the pad)<br />
<br />
e) Wax (I don't know which one is the best for my car; Ultimate Liquid Wax, NXT Tech Wax 2.0, Gold Class Wax or other one and I don't know the correct size and model of the pad)<br />
<br />
I have two panels that were repainted 30 days ago, I read in some post that I need to wait for 60 days before detailing, is that correct?<br />
<br />
Now, after I take some pics of the car I find some marks in the hood and roof, then I decided to search here for something similar, I only found a post where is mentioned that honda has paint defects in some cars from the same year as mine, but the pics I see from that case are very diferent from my car, here are two pics of my car:<br />

<br />
anyway i'm certain most of you folks who are as particular with your ride as i am with mine and have to deal with the pollen you know how <br />
<br />
much of a hassle it is, regardless if you just washed  / waxed your car the day before, it looks horrible when you get in it the next day, anyhow<br />
<br />
is there anything i can do ,besides waiting it out until pollen season is over - some time in June  - by the way i try not to park under a tree but it's <br />
<br />
hard , i notice when i wait until mid afternoon and the suns out i can simply brush off the pollen because at this point it's dry however the problem <br />
<br />
with this is as you wipe , it streaks , although i really think having  put on a coat of wax it makes a big difference in removing the pollen and what <br />
<br />
looks like little pellets , maybe there is no remedy , thank you for taking a minute in reading this, i appreciate it...:xyxthumbs<br />

I need to wash my car again and I bought some cleaner wax to try and make some minor scratches a little less visible( I know it won't remove them completely). Should I clay bar again or is that not necessary. I plan on using the cleaner wax(unless someone talks me out of it) and then rewaxing over the cleaner wax with gold class. I just don't know if I need to remove the ultimate wax.</div>

I had decided to use M205 and have it sitting on the shelf but was wondering if Megs Ultimate polish was less aggressive and thus remove less paint. It might be smart to do a test panel to see if it gets to the gloss I`m looking for.<br />
<br />
Since my cars are new and have no defects I want to try the least aggressive step for the first time. I may be over thinking this as I do with a lot of things but I`m one that has to get my brain around what I`m doing before I can get things accomplished. What do you think? Jim</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi, I had recently clay barred my windows using the clay bar kit for the first time and went to apply a coating of Rain X as usual.  One problem I discovered though is that when it rained and when I washed my car, I noticed that the water is sticking on the windows and I though it was very odd seeing as how Rain X always produced great results for me.  After a while, I had figured out that it seems the Rain X did not like being applied on top of the Quick Detailer I used for clay lubrication and did not work too well.  Has anyone else come across such a problem?  Also, would anyone know of any suggestions for fixing this?  I have heard many other people clay barring their windows and applying Rain X with no problems.  What did I do wrong?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>As the proud and lucky owner of a black '13 Subaru Impreza, I think after lots of research I have found the right answer. I just want to run it by a more experienced group of professionals.<br />
I'm luckily not looking for repair after a good wash gone bad. I went through that with a 07 Honda Ridgeline. <br />
What I want to do is preemptive in nature. I've only had this car a couple of months. No car wash damage, serious swirls or scratches and I want to keep it that way.<br />
<br />
After about two hours reading, researching and looking at different products I came up with Swirl X. It seems to be the exact product I'm looking for to eliminate the mild swirl marks that afflict every black car. <br />
I went through all the numbers and the ultimate this and that and Swirl X seems to be something I can apply by hand and then work it till I get the desired results. I'm seriously hoping for a fairly mild pure polish that will really make a good finish pop into a great one.<br />
All suggestions appreciated. Many thanks in advance.</div>

<br />
I have 2 new cars both Honda Accords one pearl white and one light silver<br />
<br />
The cars paints have no defects. I just want to make them glossier/ shinier. <br />
<br />
I`ve purchased some Megs 205 but didn`t use it because I was afraid I would remove to much paint<br />
and I have no experience applying it.<br />
<br />
I just did one car with Collinite 845 and when comparing it to my other new car finished with NXT2.0<br />
2 months ago the Collinite car is no glossier.<br />
<br />
I want the paint to look glossier and I don`t want to remove paint, if I have to I only want to remove <br />
tha smallest amount<br />
<br />
Years ago when I had my Mercedes cars I use Megs glaze and Megs #26 yellow wax and the cars always <br />
looked perfect. but their paints were not clearcoated.<br />
<br />
Whats your suggestion. Thanks Jim</div>

I have 2 DMC5 pads now. Just used 1 on my current correction I'm doing. I have 2 DMF5 pads as well. I'm sure those will last longer.<br />
<br />
I noticed pink dust a couple times last night when using the DMC5 pad after fluffing with the brush. Can too much compound get on the pad. It seemed I was having trouble fluffing the pad at times, as parts of it were still matted down. I got the goal of correction accomplished, but want to make sure I'm not doing something inccorect.<br />
<br />
<b>Also how to clean thse pads. </b><br />
<br />
I use the nylon cleaning brush after every panel to fluff up the fibers. <br />
Can I wash them in the washer? <br />
Can I wash them withe the foam pads?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I worked on a black Acura MDX this weekend.  It was probably 7-8 years old and has never been detailed.  It was seriously neglected on the outside.  I washed it, then clayed it and clayed it and clayed it.  Still lots of crud on the paint.  So I got out an old bottle of Meguiars Premium Paint Cleaner (MPPC) and went over the vehicle with a polishing pad and that did a great job of cleaning the paint and bringing back some shine.  Followed it up with the microfiber system for a final great looking finish.<br />
<br />
So my questions is.....since MPPC is no longer avialable....is there something new to replace it as a paint cleaner?</div>

<br />
I was wondering any course of action I could take after the D300? the swirls are removing easier than I thought. But I hate seeing the left behind scratches. I went through speed 4(4800) on the DA with 5-6 section passed starting with heavy pressure and lightining up on the final passes. Like I said, swirls are gone on the side I worked on (entire drivers side).<br />
<br />
What about D300 on a foam pad now or M105 on a foam to see if it'll remove anymore? He realizes this paint is 14 years old and it's a trailer hauler, os it's seen it's share of work.<br />
<br />
I'll have the truck for a few more nights.<br />
<br />
This shows no swirls but scratches here and there.<br />

<br />
The funny thing is that the upper panel has red paint transfer on my surbuff pad but the bottom half panel doesn't have.<br />
<br />
I asked the painter who did my car and he did not was to give me a definite answer.<br />
<br />
I am wondering if the top half of the panel is tinted clear coat or they just spray it with a single stage paint.<br />
<br />
But why must they have to different kinds of paint system for one panel? Anyone can tell from my pad below?<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi All. What a great and informative site you have here.<br />
<br />
I'm wondering if someone can tell me what the problem is with my paint and if there is any product i can use to fix it.<br />
<br />
I had the car resprayed about 6 months back in single stage acrylic with no clear coat. When i was washing it the other day I noticed two patches on the roof where it looks like the paint is either  cracking or heavily scratched. I don't know if it was caused by the buffing (the painter  was <i>very</i> aggresive with the buffing, which has left the car with heavy swirls), or if its an issue with the bodywork  or paint itself.<br />
<br />
Main question is if it can be fixed with any product:sosad1<br />
<br />
One picture is a close up of the other. It looks like orange peel, but it's not. It's where the cloud is reflecting. The rest of the roof reflects like glass<br />
<br />

Anything else I'm missing?<br />

Now, the process goes wash, dry, clay bar, dry, apply UC, buff, then apply NXT then buff again?<br />
<br />
Now on the clay bar, I can just get your everyday normal clay for this right? I've read up that I can just use a bit of dish soap filled in with a water bottle correct?<br />
<br />
Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.</div>
