Last summer I decided to buy an "entry level" Porter Cable 8" polisher. You can probably guess where this is going. I will cut to the chase and simply say my black paint looks like a disaster in the sunlight. I read, and I read, and I watched (videos) and I read about technique, quality pads, quality prep, quality polishes etc. etc. Well what I really learned is that I should have practiced somehow? The damn polisher was impossible to control and maneuver over some of the curves etc. Anyways:
I now have classic amateur micro marring from poor technique. It looks great in shade, overcast skies. Also it looks pretty good even in sunlight after a half ass hand applied polish, this is only temporary of course. Simple question: Is the correction of my marred paint more involved than a standard 2-3 step polish from a professional detailer? Or will this damage be corrected by any standard quality multiple step polish? In other words is this going to cost more than a standard polish job to fix? I acknowledge you cannot be certain without seeing it in person, however generally what is the deal with customer fudged paint? Thanks for any info!

Temporary: Last summer I purchased a product from Michelin that claims to repel brake dust after you apply it to the wheels.Tire Care Products: Tire Care & Buying Guide: Michelin Tires it is the last product on the page. Unfortunately I have not used it yet, so I cannot attest to its effectiveness. Applying it seems like a PITA. It says to spray it onto dry and cool wheels. Wait 15 seconds, then wipe dry. There are also brake dust shields, but from what I recall they are very ugly and may cause squealing from vibration. Google it. I wonder if anyone else has heard/used of other products for brake dust? IMO, just get dustless pads for your next pad change over. There are mounds of threads on that.

they are not bad I feel that there are many other items out there just as good or better.
in the sense of look and easy of application.

Hey Phil. I'm learning a lot of stuff reading all your posts. Great work!!! Keep it coming.
I am having issues drying my black x6. I can never stop it from streaking. I've tried chamois, absorber and sham wow. They all leave streaks. Is there anything I can use that will dry it correct. Or am I just doing something wrong? |

I use california water blade followed by waffle microfiber towel.
Be careful with water blade though, if it gets dirt on the blade it could scratch, i wipe it after each stroke. Works especially well on windows
