That's a sander, do they make polishing pads for it?

>>5196

it's a 5" hook and loop

standard size with a standard attachment

of course there are pads for it

well you cant be stupid. Always hose the car down to get as much particulate off.

Ive always used a sponge. I first do the top half then the bottom half since its dirtier. then i use this turtle wax scratch remover and then some regular carnuba paste and a buffer.

Before I even think about rubbing something on my car I usually:

Rinse with a pressure washer, then switch the nozzle to soap and spray the car and let it soak, high pressure rinse, then soap soak again, and high pressure rinse again.

Then I go around the car above the belt line with a shaggy sponge, rinsing often and carry lots of soapy water in the sponge, then repeat below the belt line.

Then a final high pressure rinse.

After that the other day I felt like giving it some more love so I went over it with a clay bar, then dupont teflon wax and a final microfiber buff by hand.

No this is a detailing, about every 2-3 months.

My car is black and I have twins.

I always rinse the car and double check for any grime and dirt. I only lightly pass the sponge just to get the soap on there.

There are no scratches made by the sponge. Just a shit ton of almost non visible swirls by the previous owner and all the big scratches by the kids

I was thinking about getting a quick coat a few months back when maaco has that 498 buck paint deal. But the car looks good. When you're standing 5ft+away

whenever i wash my car it always gets dusty after 3 days

what am i doing wrong?

>>5252

There is no way a paint job that cheap won't look like shit

>>6575

The Fuck nigger the real world air isnt filtered with a burnt jew carbon filter. You'll dust no matter what.

>>6579

It's only a touch up. And buddy of mine did the same deal on his jewbaru. Look good.

Anyway it's been a while and Macao hasn't had anyspecials yet so I'm just gonna detail it myslef.

And to add anyone know how to remove pink and green crayon mask off of leather?

WHAT DO I DO FOR TREE WAX? FUCK. IT'S LIKE BONDED TO THE CLEARCOAT.

>>6590

Aw shit, man. Your car's fucked. Just get a new one.

Anyone have tips for removing what I have to assuming is dried soda on plastic interior panels? I had to remove part of my center console a few days ago, so I tried to run hot water over it and scrub with paper towels. That made it better, but it's still somewhat sticky. I was thinking maybe some rubbing alcohol or something. I was going to try gasoline, but I figured that might damage the plastic.

before anyone asks, I was not the one that spilled shit in my interior. I bought it like that and didn't notice it at the time

>>6648

I had some weird sticky shit all over my interior when I bought my car, baby wipes did the trick very well, could try all purpose cleaner as well.

>>6648

Meguiar's Natural Shine protectant + microfiber rag has worked decently well for cleaning everything I've tried it on.

If all else fails, spray some brake cleaner on a rag and add a pinch of elbow grease (always test first on an inconspicuous area, yadda yadda yadda).

Are expensive microbrand products worth their high price? Thi

>>6833

Fucked up my post on mobile. All microbrand products seem to be expensive, and every single fucker on forums such as Detailing World seems to praise a different product and hailing it as being 'the best'. Is it really worth spending £14 on 500ml of quick detailer, or £40 on a tub of wax?
