    Work platforms - Black Friday deals 2024

    Exactly! The less bending over the better. I have 2 of these and use one as a bucket stand and the new one with the center hole/handle gets used to wash the top of the suv.

    Long Term Ceramic Coating Storage?

    I have had success placing the coating bottle inside a mason jar and storing them indoors. I have some DLUX that is over 3 years old and is still liquid.

    Bug Removal

    I soak a thin MF towel in my rinesless wash and place it over the bugs for 5-10 minutes, then just wipe them off. This even works on the love bugs we get in here in Florida, and does not remove your LSP.

    Autopia

    I have spent may hours creating programs to extract specific single payment records from these files.

    Heavy Cutting Compound

    I like Rupes DA Course cutting compound and coarse wool pads for headlights. It finishes out well enough that nothing extra is needed.

    Which product do you still use by Chemical Guys?

    I tried a few of their products over 10 years ago and switched to something that worked better. I do still have some Celeste Dettaglio paste wax that I got for working (actually mostly sitting for 3 hours) in the Chemical Guys booth at Detail Fest many years ago. The 2 company reps (maybe one...

    Questions about Clear Coat Failure…Is it inevitable?

    I purchased my black 2000 Frontier new and it was always outside for the 1st 10 years I owned it, getting some protection when I had the bug. I started learning here and on other detailing forums in 2010 (and I was able to park in a garage when at work), and it was properly cared for until it...

    AutoFiber Scrub Ninja - Anyone use it -long term-

    I agree that these are aggressive, but a time saver! I use the CarPro microfiber gloves for bad steering wheels - a little easier to use than a towel when you need some serous scrubbing!

    2008 911 S

    "Client is selling his beloved 911. Wanted it corrected and protected for the next owner/caregiver. FULL of swirls, some heavier scratches and some etchings." That seems kind of backwards - Why pay for someone else to have a great looking shiney car!

    Microfiber pads - your experience?

    I am with Guz on recommending the Rupes yellow wool - great pads. I have been using MF pads since Meg's brought out their MF cutting and finishing pads + the matching polishes. I spoke with Mike Pennington at a Detail Fest, and he recommended using 2 dots of M105 + 1 dot of D301(?) on a...

    Spray wax vs detailers recommendations

    A detail spray is just for shine, while a spray wax will have some protection. With the advances in technology the spray waxes are lasting longer and longer. I have not tried the spray waxes you listed (I used Optimum Spray Wax as part of a rinseless wash in the past), but like what I hear...

    Need 7" polisher suggestion

    Could be, I have the GG 6" that the PC wrench worked for, but not as thin as the GG one.
