I'm looking for a detailer, preferably in the greater Houston area. I'll travel as far as Austin. (Not Dallas) and as far east as Lafayette, LA. I'm wanting a detailer to clay the Vette, eliminate the swirls, polish and then wax. I'll supply all of the products (BlackFire). Thanks in advance.

Well.....I used the BlackFire APC and the "whatever it was" came right off. The adhesive disc that I have stuck with no problem. Thanks again.

Thanks for the help.

It is not the suction cup that I'm talking about. It's the round disc that is suppose to stick to the dash that the suction cup mounts on. I guess my question is what do I use to get the armour all or whatever they put on the dash to make it shiny off.

I picked up a car yesterday that had been detailed by the dealer. The dash is the rough grain type material. It was shiny so I figure that they used armor all or a spray wax on it. At any rate, I tried to stick the 3" disc (sticky side down) to the dash so I could mount my GPS and the disc...

Yes, I'm just doing my car and my wife's SUV. I have absolutely no desire to start a business detailing. However, from what I've read here I think I may make a trip over to Academy Sports to look at my canopy options.

Okay....I live in Baytown which is just southeast of Houston. I do not have a garage available. It seems like it's sunny every day and mid 90's and on the days when it's cloudy, it rains. Since all of the polishes and waxes say do not use in direct sunlight, I feel like I'm just screwed. If...

Yeah.....this is just the second step in a 6 step process. After using the nanoskin pad I plan to use either BlackFire SRC compound or finishing polish, whichever it takes to get rid of the swirls. Then I'll go with the BF Gloss Enhancing Polish followed with BF WDAFPP. The last step is...

Okay....I know how to clean the nanoskin pad if it's dropped and how to clean it when I'm done using it. I have 2 questions about cleaning it while I'm in the process of using it to decontaminate the car. Do I just spray it with the hose periodically....for example, after each section is...

When you work on establishing a price list you might want to consider the size of the car. For example, I have a Mazda Miata with brand new chrome wheels so it only takes me about 10 minutes to wash and dry it. However, my wife has an SUV (Kia Sorento) and it takes at least 30 to 45 minutes to...

Or.....instead of spending money on a Griot's 3" DA polisher, could I just get a 3" backing plate for my PC 7424XP??? Would that work?

Thanks Mike...I guess my next purchases will be the Griot's 3" polisher and the 4" Rupe pads.

I've watched the video about using a DA polisher to apply the finishing wax. In the video the wax comes out/slides out of the container in one solid piece. My problem is the 3 oz. container of BlackIce wax was in several pieces when I first took the lid off. Is there anything that I can do to...

I totally agree with the original poster. Thank God that Mike doesn't use acronyms and abbreviations when he makes a "How To" videos. I'm quite sure that there is a ton of information to be had on this forum, however, as a newbie 9 out of 10 threads that I start to read I just give up and say...

Has anyone here used this product and if so, what are your comments about it???
