I used McGuiers carnauba on mine with these results

[Carolina Boostin]

[BFEB]

I knew there was a reason I liked your profile pic lol

[kissman33]

I have always had Good results with Mequairs on everything I have owned.

[BFEB]

It rained tonite so I decided to pull her in the garage and threw a quick shine on the front end.

[Carolina Boostin]

Nice

[2004XLT5.4LTritonV84X4]

Mequairs or Mothers for sure!

[doberdann]

i agree i use both those on my 2012 f150 and she shines brighter than the sun haha.

[Jersey_Joe]

I used mothers fer years. Then I saw the light. McGuires is good. But there is a product called blackfire. It's a wet diamond all finish paint protecter. Makes ur paint look wet. Amazing product and amazing shine. 41$ delivered. Autopia.com. Check it out. I know you'll love it

[RhinoZ24]

Late, but just look at my pictures from when I detailed my truck, Turtle Wax Cleaner Wax with Carnauba in it. Works pretty damn well. I would post a pic of the shine in sunlight, but it rained 2 days ago and messed up my nice clean truck.

Looks nice. I use a product called blackfire. Little more expensive than the over the counter stuff but u get what u pay for.

Not much feels better than a fresh wax job when it is done. Nice.

Agreed. There are many products out there good and bad. Best thing to do is understand what the difference is between a cleaner wax, carnauba, and a polymer sealant. Knowing what exactly you are putting on the paint can help you choose the right product. If your looking for a great over the counter product that is easy to use I would go meguiars ultimate line.

I am going to get some blackfire. If Joe recommends it, that is enough for me.

I am evicting a tenant. The cops have been out several times dealing with bs. Anyhow, the day after one of their cars got towed, my truck was keyed. So shine will have to wait until repair.

That would warrant a punch in the face in my book. Sorry to hear about your truck. The stuff joe is preferring is spot on. Black fire products are very good. All depends on you budget, then do research on them, then order.

When u venture out of the turtle wax world kid. You will realize. There are products out there that exceed the limits of mothers and turtle wax. Are those products bad? Absolutely not. That's why they have been in business for so long. Me ? I use McGuires on my wife's car. And all the vehicles I detail. Mine? Nothing but blackfire.
And u get a normal size Bottle. I'll take a pic later

Waterless wash? U afraid to use a hose? That rust is gonna b the death of that thing

Better learn how to apply bondo if your not gonna replace em. But to replace is more than the truck is worth so I guess ur goin bondo.

I think I'm going to see if he could help sometime and replace the metal on the doors and cut the rockers and cab corners out and replace them. And respray the entire truck. Good as new.

Dude. I know u love her. But cut ur losses. Do u know how much money that is???? U don't. U can't. U just can't. It's more that it's worth. If that truck was in NJ. They would deam u unsafe. And pull your reg. I'm not gonna blow smoke up ur @$$ kid. It's gonna b like 5-8 THOUSAND dollars. Like 3 zeros. Can it b fixed. Of course. Anything can b fixed. But this cat that u "think" can weld. Ain't gonna do 3 weeks of work on ur truck for a handshake and some pizza. And that's just the body work. Paint will take a week. And that's a professional timeline. Just sayin kiddo. Save your pesos because that thing is gonna fall apart. It was happining with my 03. I couldn't stop it. And I didn't want to save it. To much money bud.

So either way I'd have to spend money on rust ----------

Whatever. What do I know. U kids know everything. Happy rusting

[Ford Fan#1]

Whatever. What do I know. U kids know everything. Happy rusting as I said before. I can't sell it due to the bank. I have to pay it off first. That will be after my last year of high school. So by that time it will be horrible. And it's my truck and it shows my detailing experience. So if it's missing doors and cab corners it's not going to be a good picture for my business. Makes sense? Beacause if you detail cars and yours looks like a genuine pos that's never had a bath you probably aren't getting their business.

Ur the boss kid. Good luck

What are you looking for? A polish? Wax? Sealant? Glaze? Compound? A lot goes into detailing and different products do different things. Joe is talking about a polish that should be applied by machine. Modern clear coats are rather hard so hand polishing is very inefficient and time consuming. Porter cable 7424xp is a cheap but very user friendly polisher the can give you excellent results. If your just looking to protect the paint then you would be looking at more of a wax or sealant. Black fire also have good quality wax and sealants but like I said it all determined on budget. I have used many products and let me tell you it can get pretty crazy once you get the bug. That is how I got started detailing. If you got a problem or need more advice shoot me a text and I can help you out.

Either way his truck shines pretty good I didn't say I wouldn't use one but just not on my truck as I'm worried about the paint flaking off from where the dealer buffed it and burnt but I would use it on my mom's explorer. ( testing on my big brother's 03 explorer first of course ) it's basically our geuiena pig to test new products lmao

[blacked_out]

There is absolutely no way you could burn your paint with a PC. That is why it is a free spinning head that stops rotating when too much pressure is applied or if it is not somewhat flat to the paint surface. I think you have the Dual action polisher mixed up with a rotary. A rotary spins in a circle and is gear driven. That creates a great deal of heat and allows you to correct the clear much faster. I use rotary a on very hard clear coats that need it and a customer is willing to pay for but those jobs are few and far between. I use a DA much more often and is perfect for a beginner because it is so safe. Only DA that could possibly I burn your paint is a flex 3401 DA. That machine is a gear driven dual action forced rotation so it can burn it but even then it's rare.

All wax wears off. You have to start deep in the paint and keep a layer of protectant on it constantly for it to b perfect. Winter months around here are tuff. But if u spray wax every other wash u should b fine

Absolutely correct. If you are that dedicated and invest in the list I gave you to start then you could clean other people's cars(friends and family) to make the money back. Detailing is a sickness and once you get it it's hard to shake. Especially once you get into it. It never ending. As far as the spray wax I use duragloss aqua wax. It's more of a spray sealant and last 3 months or so.

What are the best ways to clean your foam DA pads and microfiber pads and cloths after using them?

From infinity and beyond.

Never argue with a Moron, they'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

BLACKFIRE Advanced Pad Cleaner & Restorer (http://www.autogeekmobile.net/blackfire-pad-cleaner.html)

[Jersey_Joe]

Ok. That worked lol. I'm using the app. Sorry yall. So. This is what I use. There are plenty of other products with different prices on auto geek. I use blackfire. And love it btw. So of course I use the same product for cleaning. This product is used for the pads. They give u a small scraper also. Works great and keeps the pads good as new. Way better than spending the money for new ones. I usually get 3 application out of it. They say I can get more but I'm anal and only go for 3 applications with the pad. I'm ditching for what I clean the fibers with too. Lu just throw em in the washer with this solution And yes of course it's safe for your washer. Just Gota find it

Thanks for the info Joe, glad to hear there are products I can use in my washer. I have one that's dedicated to my work clothes, dog towels and car cleaning cloths. I have looked at Autogeek inn the past but never bought anything from them, recently stayed using some products from The Chemical Guys and have been pleased with them.

I want something with more power that I can race occasionally and get a little better mpg around town (only like 3mpg more though haha).

Cleaning mf pad are different from foam a little. Compressed air is best or you can use a pad cleaning brush. You just don't want spent product/clear coat residue to gunk up the pad.

When your done with the pads I have a grit guard pad washer. If you don't want to spend 125 bucks on it then just run them underwater then drip some dawn on them. Then work it in with your fingers and rinse. Fold it in half to ring out any water or put it back on the polisher and run in a bucket so you don't splatter yourself until it's somewhat dry. If you want to go a little further you can throw it in the washer on gentle then either air dry or spin it on your polisher. Once it's dry I store them in zip locks so that they don't get dirt on them.

Thanks for the proper procedure, I had looked at the pad washer but just can't justify spending that much at this time. But maybe one-day.

Haha wow I didn't realize it's from 2012. Grabber, I would only buy a pad washer if you detail for money. I use dawn because it's safe and a very good at getting in the pores of the pad.

Haven't tried Mothers wax, but their plastic protectant does wonders for my truck.

No either works, both are great products. I personally like TurtleWax for wax, but I use Mothers Protectant for my plastic trim and it works really well.
