I recently decided enough was enough and decided to clean my wheels and undercarriage, hopng to get through the last wheel today, FAR from perfect, I guess time took too much of a toll, but I think they look a lot better, no pics on hand maybe when I go home

Polishing a few panels at time: question
mathews31 replied to 8675309'SS's question in Paint Correction & Polishing
that's what I did, I used a bucket with a good amount of water maybe 3 gallons and some strip wash and washed the area (and clayed) then dried it so I could polish -
Wash and wax or car shampoo?
mathews31 replied to Jheeman's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
I personally don't get that much use out of the wash and wax, I prefer the smell of the shampoo and I also have never tried the red shampoo. I usually use GG after a wash or a sealant or other protection of some sort, I don't like the one step wash and wax. But even if I do use wash and wax I usually follow up with a wax of some sort. -
First time paint correction-results
mathews31 replied to Jheeman's question in Paint Correction & Polishing
First off, good job and nice car... On that SK mini comment, I'm with you 100%, it's almost impossible for some of the smaller areas on a car. The paint looks really good. I've heard german cars have hard paint, but it looks like you did a great job. -
why would you put vrt before polishing, polishing removes VRTq

Paint Coating | FAQ's | Discussion
mathews31 replied to Dan@Adams's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
I was contemplating getting a coating to do the more problem areas of my car, such as the hood and roof, would the look be that much more noticeable if I do coat the car -
I didn't think it was good....then I tried it, and it's not good, it's stinking AMAZING. This thing is probably my most prized tool.

So I was walking around the other day in my neighborhood and began remembering all the mistakes I made when I first started detailing and figured this might make for a good thread So here goes nothing: 1- using towels that fell on the floor 2- using clay that fell on the floor 3- using those low quality mfs. make me feel better, share yours
