Best thing to do is to join the AutogeekOnline . NET discussion forum and post your questions to the forum. The forum is a better interface than this message system on YouTube for someone like myself to share how to information, pictures and videos. -Mike Phillips

Nice video, any tips for removing acid rain?

[autogeek]

I have at least three articles on removing water spots no matter what the origin of the cause. Copy and paste the below into Google and you'll pull up one of my articles.

3 - Types of Water Spots - Type I, Type II and Type III

IF the acid rain "etched" a crater or Type II Water Spot into your car's paint then you'll have to use either an abrasive polish or compound to level the surface of the paint and thus remove the crater etching. _Mike Phillips

After removing the swirls, do you immediately have to start polishing or can you remove the swirls on the entire car and then go back and polish the entire car?

[autogeek]

Most people do an entire step to their car before moving on to the next step. For example, compound the entire car, then polish the entire car, then wax the entire car. The exception would for someone that has limited time and only wants to polish a "section" of the car in one day, for example only buff the hood. -Mike Phillips

Just spent 125$ on pads and wax because of these videos. Wish me luck.

I have always used MacGuires products but I think I'm sold on Wolf Gang!!!! The paint sealant is incredibly easy to get off. I always hated taking the MeGuiars products off. My truck really does look amazing!!! Thanks for the tutorials Mike!!!!
