Thanks, that seems about the route I'm going to go. One thing I'm not sure about is claying the car. It's got tons of junk all over the paint and little yellow dots all throughout. My car is white and it looks so shitty. Anyway, I have a fresh clay bar at home but I've also been reading about nanoskin pads that you use with the DA polisher and supposed to work just as good if not better because it's way faster. We'll see. Good luck car looks amazing so far

Did you use the V32 just over the scratch and then V34 on the rest of the panel or V32 on the whole panel? I have a number of fine scratches like that I want to get rid of when the time comes, but want to make sure I do it right.

So just on the fender I used V32. With the fine scratches I would use the white hexlogic pad and V36

I'm going to order this EcoSmart Waterless car wash as it's going to not only save water but time. I've watched enough videos and if guys with Lambos and Ferrari's will use it so will I! For $88 the dilution ratio is 16:1! Do you know how much money and water I can save!
At first I was skeptical because how can you wipe of dirt without getting scratches? But for some reason this waterless system you can! So I'll have to try it and report back. Anyone already trying this...please chime in with your experience or if you don't think this will work also please chime in

Evaporative air cooler. IE...space A/C. They are ridiculously effective. That one costs about $250. |

Unless you live far from any large cities, it's from industrial fallout. Iron-X mostly just works with contaminants on the surface of the paint rather than corroded metal. Iron-X also works on wheels too but it's a little pricey to use as a wheel cleaner.

One thing I forgot to mention, Iron-X works great but it smells like death even with the cherry or lemon scent.

Are any of you guys using a duster or completely eliminated from using at all? So I was gonna work on more polishing when I got off work today but the Wifey and my Boyz wanted to watch Suicide Squad. So I'll try again tomorrow

Same here, I've also been using a California Duster for years. Works great if the car is a little dusty and you don't want to spend the time quick detailing or washing it.

alright good to know you guys have no issues with the Cali Duster
so being in Ohio where it's pretty much country in my area there's $hit load of bugs at night going home when i work 3rd's and my front bumper just looks like a graveyard plus i notice i've got tar spreckles and what not on my wheels. nothing noticeable but when i was washing them the other day i notice tar or black dots on my wheels. it rubbed off but i had to work them a bit so along with the EcoSmart Waterless car wash i ordered CG's Bug & Tar Remover and i also picked up 3 Professional Chemical Resistant Heavy Duty Bottle and Sprayer
