    Needing some advice.

    Hey guys, I did mobile detailing out of Florida. I was lucky enough to do well enough for myself to save enough money to move to Texas and attend a school I've been wanting to go to. (Samracing.com). I sold my mobile rig but kept my equipment, and had planned on not starting my business back up...

    Vx5000....

    I own the VX5000. In some ways I am super impressed, others I am not. I was really impressed with the ability to remove extremely hardened tree sap off of a couple hoods that any chemical I threw at it did nothing. It makes for quicker cleaning of center consoles/cup holders. What didn't...

    Help me fix this Corvette..Need recommendations for products

    I worked as a painters helper when I was 17. I eventually got to learn how to mix paints/clears and such and began to spray hoods and bumpers. One time I accidently mixed the wrong reducer (Or what I thought was the reducer) in with the clearcoat. It looked fine leaving the shop but the...

    what lights do you use

    I use the brinkman that AGO sells. It works pretty good, although outside even under a tent the surrounding like kind of washes it out. It's still good enough for me to see what I am doing and how correction is going but it's not like some of these halogen stands in a garage that you see in...

    After removing tape....

    I use IPA mixed to about 20% as well. I've never tried it, but I've read a lot of people treat the trim before polishing and it makes the dust/polish not stick. I use to be an automotive painter at a dealership so taping a car doesn't take me nearly as long.

    A Good Reason to Buy From AG

    That's awesome. I ordered some cobra 600's and 530's a few weeks ago and a couple came with a line of thread missing down the long nap side. I was thinking of asking for a replacement but I really needed them for a job that weekend. I felt them and there was nothing sharp and figured it would be...

    52 GMC "patina" Look Help

    That is awesome! Can we get an engine bay picture? I tried googling and nothing good is popping up, I am curious about how much room is in there. Turbo 5.3 swap would be amazing!

    Mobile Detailers! I need help organizing/condensing my equipment! (Video)

    I like the set up! I wanted to avoid a trailer but I think I might have to get one soon. Any idea what something like that costs? I don't need anything super fancy. If I do buy a trailer it needs to be enclosed for sure though! I am wanting to buy an RO system but I might keep renting the DI...

    Mobile Detailers! I need help organizing/condensing my equipment! (Video)

    First off, forgive my ramblings on the video, I've been awake all night setting things up and haven't slept yet. Going to travel to Orlando today from Tampa to do a 2step and full interior (minus carpet extraction) on a 2007 Camry. I have a 2006 GMC 2500HD Duramax. A quick break down in words...

    Polishing A pillar with 3" DA.

    I appreciate the responses and help guys! Mike I am shocked that you can handle so many things at once. You certainly seem like a busy guy yet you always take the time to respond to everyones questions. I just watched that 2.5 hour long video that you did on a red Mustang, I believe the owners...

    Polishing A pillar with 3" DA.

    Hello, I am curious if you have to do a criss-cross pattern? I have the 3" GG DA for A pillars but its just small enough to basically rub back and forth horizontally, is this substantial or do I need to do little 2" vertical-ish passes? Also, Do you break up the 2" painted areas that surround...
