You're welcome! A lot of these have been around for several years actually, I just thought it was time to compile them. With my new 3,000 SF shop, making videos is even easier, and I'll be posting more vids on detailing and using Prima in the next week or so. With my move out of the way and lots of cars to work on, I have lots to show!

I think you need to take a road trip with all of your goodies to New England, to help us spruce up our paint and trim.

Prima Swirl or Finish on an LC White pad on speed 4 or 5 on the PC. If you want it even better, use an LC Red Hydro pad with either Finish or Amigo after that.

If you just want one product...use an LC white pad and Prima Amigo..it with fill and slightly remove light swirling and improve it in one step.

Plastx or Scratchx can work as well.

Dear Octane Guy

Ok, I am impressed. It seems this community recommends your products. I have used products from Mother's and P-21s before and really want to get this right. I am picking up a new 2011 Chili Red MCS this week and want to keep the red paint nice and glossy. I do not have a PC machine and will be maintaining the car by hand. What is the correct order to use your products? I see here your individual application videos, but what is the order of application?

I keep my cars clean. I wash weekly. I like to wax every couple of months, maybe more often in the summer (here in New England). I already know how to clay bar from time to time, but can you explain or point me to a link which sets forth your recommended order of application. Assume this brand new car is going to be in pretty good condition to start with. Thanks, then I can place an order for the products I need.

Are you still selling the nomad pressure washer? I looked on your site but couldn't find it. I live in a condo with no access to a hose and that looks like the perfect solution to my problem.

No I stopped awhile ago. You can find this at Walmart and other mass merchandising places now. They are great tools...I have 3 of them in my shop and one at home and get used for a variety of things from detailing engine bays to using as a water source for demos to rinsing off the car while traveling.
