i have a quick question. what do you use to clean the roof of a Z4 convertible? i got a friend who wants a car wash, but i'm afraid to put my soap to her roof and take off any sealant or special coating it may have.
What would I do? I would wash it normally, just like any other panel. Then, when that's finished, I would follow up with several coats of Raggtop Fabric Protectant. Follow the instructions on the bottle for application.

You should contact all of these members and do their cars for them.

I hope this won?t come across as spam, but if the moderators do feel that way, feel free to remove this post.
I wanted to add that I really appreciate all the interest in Autopian-style detailing and I would like to offer 10% for all Toronto Subaru Club members. It?s my way of saying thanks.

What kind of product should I use for getting rid of water spots/acid rain etching? I have a PC RO polisher, and Lake Country CCS pads that I picked up from Chemical Guys (orange, green, black, and white).
I know I need an abrasive, but I'm not sure which one to use.

I have swirl marks on my hood and some light scratches on the side. I have used Menzerna IP with orange pad on Porta Cable 7724. It seems to come out better, but does not really get rid of the swirl marks. If I used a circular polisher, would that help get better results?

The least aggressive method for this application would be to add vinegar to your wash solution.
