you guys better not be using chamois anymore....and if you still are i'll be doing a order from e-shine soon so I can grab some more waffle weave towels if anyone wants/needs one.

my car, altho it doesn't have any scratches or dents, it was probably never waxed:



after



clayed and polished:



sealed and wheels/tires dressed and windows cleaned. still need to throw the rims on, polish the exhaust and de-badge it.



oh and btw; I needed a new clay bar, went into crappy tire thinking all clays are made alike



never ever buy the simonize clay bar. it's such a POS. it's not even like clay, it's more like a brick of bubble gum that you can't even kneed over and starts to just come apart after two panels. lucky I had a new meguires one that I found at home but I find that its not aggressive enough. after using them all the yellow mothers bar works the best.

Jay, let me know what type of beer you like, my wagon is in need of everything. I've got the clay bar and two big bottles of 105/205 and even a compound buffer I haven't even used yet

sick tsx work. yeah eshine.ca just had a pretty good sale but another will come up soon. there's something about a good white paint that just comes thru SO well after a proper detail!

yeah clay bars have quite the difference. i used a good brand from eshine was back on teh s2k (forget the name), then used mothers on the STI and it was just ok. much harder (similar to what you described) than the other higher end stuff. not sure if meguires has a claybar but i wonder how their quality is?

waffle weave towels FTW. shit'll soak up more water than vas's tears, crying after missing out on a 18yr old washer/dryer set on the side of the road for garabage day.

Meguiars does have a claybar. I used it on the M. I don't think my car was EVER waxed either lol. My bar turned brown...holy shit!

Just went to town with a 3000 grit sand paper to get rid of scratches. I was going to order 105/205 from eshine last year but they were out of stock. Found meguairs over the shelf Ultimate Compound to be just aggressive enough to get rid of swirls.

Chamois take forever because they fill with water so fast, so you have to keep wringing them out, that and they leave a butt ton of swirl marks behind. Not to mention they stink and are expensive. $20 or whatever and you'll never look back and it'll last you forever.

Thanks fellas, I started out with the clay, then 205 on a orange lake country pad. Normally I would use a white polishing pad but the car had some decent swirling (hard to see on a white car) but I knew it was a good amount because the pearl wasn't showing like it should. So tested the more aggressive pad with the 205 and it worked great.

After sealed with the Blackfire wet diamond on a blue finishing pad.

Bill bring over that 205/105 and we Will knock it out quick!

You are going to see those rust spots every spring no matter what if you own a white car.

Use Iron-X to remove.

Anyone use a foam gun/cannon? There are two types, one for pressure washers and one for reg hoses.

Are these worth it? Do they help or is it just a novelty item?

Is it rust? I've been told it's tree sap, rail dust, road tar, whatever. My sister in law has it all over her white crv so I'll have to polish that out too.....shit.

It's from the plows scraping up the roads in the winter, it's gotta be iron or some sort of metal dust from the plows/road surface... So it is rust but it's not rust from your car \:\) My parents car has it all over the front fenders, you can pick it off with your fingernail.

Got this one and it's worth it for those quick washes where you don't need to drag out buckets

^i bought one but it came busted in shipping

That detail took me about 6hrs, but the majority of the time was spent cussing at the pos simonize clay bar, I actually used both friggin bars. Also took my time getting every damn rust spot deposit off the car.

Be careful with M105. Although it does make very quick work of removing scratches, on most paints it is removing way more clear coat than you need to be. Its basically liquid sandpaper and I see it being used way too much.

So would you suggest 205 for getting rid of swirls? I've been using ultimate compound with good results.

Doing my detail as we speak, have you tried menzerna products? Bmws have pretty hard clear coats, this stuff plus orange pad does wonders. Even my 17 year old paint comes out pretty good, I don't go too hard doe as I am trying to preserve the oem clear as much as I can.
