Damn Rick, you called me out on it. I didn't buy anything for the wheelwells, I completely forgot even AFTER you suggested it to me.  :mrgreen:

I use one product for tires, wheel wells, and engines. That would be Stoner's More Shine. It is an aerosol so some overspray is inevitable which is why tires, wheelwells, and engine are done BEFORE washing/polishing the car. Those areas must be clean & dry of course.  It dries quickly and doesn't sling. While it is drying you can do interior work.

HINT: don't do the newb thing and forget to roll the car so the bottom of the tires get dressed also!  :oops:

I think that is a damn good first effort, the car looks good..........well done. Takes a lot of work doesn't it? I'd bet that you have new respect for those that do this type of work on a regular basis, eh?    Next time do the wheelwells and tires, it looks unfinished with those not dressed.

Hyundai IS coming up in the ranks. Anyone that denies that is just not seeing what is going on or a dyed in the wool Honda fanboy. They have come a long way in a short time and a manufacturer to be reckoned with. They have a very bright future.

Don't drive like a stupid fuck! That way you won't get a ticket. If you got one, and you were guilty, then find your balls (they're here somewhere) and pay it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Only a plastic dildo would try to get out of something that they are guilty of.
Pay the price dildo.

Here's a review that just came to my inbox two minutes ago. Pretty favorable.............

Well then, I guess that I misunderstood completely and owe you an apology. By the way, to clear some misinformation above,  orange is NOT heavy cut, it's a medium cut pad and will be used 90+% of the time in future work. Make sure you have plenty of them. In many years I've only had to use a yellow pad one time, and that was with the Cyclo.....a major mess of a car. The orange normally did the job but that also depends on the job at hand. With smaller pads (and plate) you can get away with a white pad sometimes because the PC spins much faster. Now you'll need to get used to your new one once you get it back. It is supposed to be stronger. You've done well, don't let anyone tell you different.

I don't understand your reluctance to use the orange pads??? You said your way wasn't working and asked for advice. Right off the bat I said to use the orange pad and you said it worked well on the roof right? Why would you not use the combination that worked on the rest of the car?? Anyone can say, "you shoulda used this or you shoulda used that" which offers  no help using the products that you have now. Smaller pads & backing plate is good advice but you don't have any so that doesn't help right now does it? A first time PC user asks someone seasoned what to do, how to do it, and then blows it off? Doesn't make me overly anxious to offer any more advice.

I'm not ill about it I just don't get it (scratches head in wonderment). The car does look very nice and reflects your hard work.

Looks great! What the hell is SS ll?

I wasn't aware of that, good to know. I wouldn't waste time starting with the white pad but do what you think is best.

The Pinnacle is a chemical cleaner that contains fillers. Applying it after the glaze would remove the glaze. Here is the way I would approach it but I have not used any of the products mentioned except the Deep Gloss Sealant.

I would experiment on  1/2 hood with good lighting. Mask it off to get a clean dividing line down the middle.
A white pad on the PC never did squat for me as far as removing marring. I would start off with an orange pad and the swirl remover working it slowly making sure it breaks down completely. It is possible that the swirl remover just isn't stout enough to do the job, as mentioned I have no experience with it. Once you have gotten the area as good as you can (many passes on speed 6), apply the cleansing lotion by hand and remove it. Then apply the glaze with a white pad on the PC (about speed 4-5) and remove it by hand.
Last apply the sealant by hand very thin, let it sit the required amount of time and remove it by hand. There is the finished product. Now in good lighting compare the section of the hood you have not done to the section you just completed. If that strikes your fancy do the remainder of the car in exactly the same manner.  If the very first step with the swirl remover didn't come out well enough to suit you then I suggest a step up to a better and true polish like Menzerna.

Jason may be more familiar with the products mentioned or have a whole different approach to things which is perfectly normal. Few detailers do things the same way.  I like the idea of both the Pinnacle and the glaze after polishing because the combination will help cover minor imperfections. Jason is more of a perfectionist than I and wants the prepared surface perfect, or as close as possible, and that's as it should be....his reputation is built on that.

I am taking into consideration the products that you have on hand and also that you are fairly new with the PC. My thoughts are that getting it as good as you can with the swirl remover then using the Pinnacle & the glaze should give one nice looking finish. Lock it in with the sealant and beam with pride. The areas you've done show definite improvement, no two ways about it.

This is quite a deal but hurry if you are serious.

Proud to be above ground!!!!!!

Fucking old fossil would work . Thanks for changing it, I know it's silly but it irked me.
Ok, changed the sig myself.

Guys I gotta say....... the Audi shows that gal doesn't even have any taste in her mouth! I'd be embarrassed to even be seen in that abortion of a ride. I hope she made a good sandwich Tim. I'd bet she thinks oysters and peanut butter go well together, with ranch of course.  :roll:

Funny thing is I really do have a Honda mower. The tires are unraveling from the plastic wheels, the throttle linkage broke so I jury rigged it. It revs WAY past where Honda ever intended it to but still cranks 1st pull every time. I run Havoline 10W30 synthetic in it and change it twice a year. I need the one in the picture!
