I'd recommend Meguiar's Ultimate Compound if you need more bite on the orange pad. Should be able to find it at your local auto parts store for less than $10. After trying nearly everything for sale at AG, I've become a big fan of UC / UP or 105 / 205, and pretty much quit using anything else...

Microtex Platinum XL Microfiber Cleaning Cloths, 15pk - Walmart.com The first microfiber towels I brought were from Wal-Mart too. These look like the 15 for $10 deal. I started using better microfiber towels and was blown away by the difference. Save the old ones, they are probably fine to use...

I'll see you there this weekend

I'll be there, this will make 10 in a row...

I helped put together this troop's car wash a few weeks back and wash very hands-on with the Scouts making sure they minimized opportunities for swirling paint - lots of buckets, the right wash mits (did remove a couple of brushes they were using that were supposed to be paint safe - just as a...

I've heard Mike speak on numerous occassions about all things detailing, and he didn't disappoint when it came to teaching the Scouts. He had great stories along the way, engaged each of the scouts, and showed his passion for all things auto-related - definitely not him up there lecturing...

I saw this yesterday when I was out having breakfast. Looked like it had been driven on rainy days for the past couple weeks. Finish was swirl-free, just dirty. Would have considered a complimentary wash just for the resume and after pics. McLaren 650S, 641 hp, 0-60 in 2.8 sec, 0-100 in 5.9...

Brad, if you are detailing something other than your own car, I surely hope you have a ton of insurance, spare time, and cash in the event that you accidentally damage someone's cars. Let's say you burn through the paint on a fender or dent a hood dropping your buffer, would a body shop repair...

I'll be there. It is my understanding that a handful of Boy Scouts from local Troop 840 will be there to check out the cars and the Tech Session as part of their Automotive Maintenance Merit Badge. Thanks to AG for welcoming our youth!

Plain old minerals spirits will clean up tar and bugs in a hurry. Make sure you wash and wax afterwards.

We're are you located? Folks on this forums are good eggs that might show you how to clean this up.

I'm in the first video around 1:05 and second one around 0:13 (both 1st year) and 9:55 shaking hands with Max (7th). Been to all DF since the first one. That was a small group, Max rolled out a cart a couple times with a bunch of detail supplies "Help yourself if you want to try something new"...

A few years back I suggested to Max that he turn us loose in the warehouse with a shopping cart and have a register at the exit - if you go on a tour of their operation you'll agree that it would be easy to fill your cart with cool stuff in just a few minutes. Looking forward to this year - I...

Not sure if it opens differently from a computer, but you need to put a contact phone number on your home page at the top. When I'm out and about and want to contact a business, it is very convenient if I get to a website on my iPhone and can click their number. Just make sure that it is in a...
