    2006 Cadillac STS-V: Forum Fav Kit

    Sorry, i haven't been able to take any shots of the interior... i just got back from a trip to denver (7hrs one way) so the interior is too dirty to post on here without some prodding.. lol... I did however find a pic from when i first bought it that shows a little more of the interior (and a...

    2006 Cadillac STS-V: Forum Fav Kit

    Not to kick a dead horse, but here is a picture after 1 more coat of Souveran. My wife and i went to visit her parents in Anthem, AZ and decided to go to the "Rock and roll car show" in scottsdale... So i cleaned off all of the road salt i got on it the day before from driving through the snow...

    2006 Cadillac STS-V: Forum Fav Kit

    I honestly did not have too hard of a time with either... the glaze is a little harder to work with than AIO.. and both are night and day compared to souveran. I learned the hard way at the beginning of the detail that when they say a 'thin' layer, they really mean THIN! I also used the QD to...

    How do you tell if a detailer really knows their stuff?

    Yes, i need to make sure and be VERY careful... seems the paint is very soft. The swirls were there when i bought the car though, and the water spots... i've only had it a month :D (Washed it twice so far... and I can count how many times i've driven it on my fingers.. LOL). I will make sure and...

I almost...

    That's what i was afraid of :(... we'll see how far i can get with the flex... worst case i might be looking into how to wet sand :(.

    2006 Cadillac STS-V: Forum Fav Kit

    Hello Everybody, I just recently received the 'Forum Favorite Kit' and decided to try it out on one of my cars. I have been posting in the 'Off-Topic' forum about this car as it has pretty bad swirling and etched waterspots. I'm going to be buying a flex in the near future, and hopefully i'll...

    Weekend Giveaway!

    Well.. i love the giveaways :D.. lol. Honestly this is a great forum full of great information... What else can be said? Other then the fact that i was just talked into getting into paint correction and now need to buy more equipment and spend the time to learn it.. lol. Something about this...

    How do you tell if a detailer really knows their stuff?

    Ok.. so if i'm understanding it right it's best to leave the 'wax stripping' to the clay... right? I would suppose that IS what it's for.. to pull everything off the paint.. lol. I do already have a sheepskin mitt that i use to wash with... The swirls were not caused by me, but the previous...

    How do you tell if a detailer really knows their stuff?

    Looks like a heck of a deal... If i'm reading it right i should not need anything but that kit to complete this job.. correct? (I should have pictures ready by tonight... i'm sure that for a definent answer you will need to see the condition of the vehicle) What would be the correct product to...

    How do you tell if a detailer really knows their stuff?

    I have not worked with any polisher before... My 'detailing skills' stops at hand waxing. I'm open to suggestions of where to start :). I was looking at the circular polisher based on the fact that it seems to be the most difficult to learn, but has to most potential. I honestly would be more...

    How do you tell if a detailer really knows their stuff?

    Wow, thank you for all the advice!.. You guys talked me into it :D. Now i will need to put together a shopping list and had a couple questions: 1. If i understand it correctly a dual action polisher will only remove very light swirls... so i'm thinking that it would be best to run circular, and...
