    Help with black trim

    I have the fading/white problem on my Benz . . . and my friend has it on his Mazda . . . Conclusion: A mix of waxes, cleaners, sunlight, and oxidation have bleached the upper surface of the black trim permanently. (I'm talking about hard plastic trim) Therefore, products can only cover up and...

    How do you explain paint correction to a customer?

    I usually let customers know that correction is permanent as long as the paint is maintained properly. I let them know how easy it is to add excrescences to the paint of a car without realizing it and how my washing methods prevent the marring of paint and preserve any wax/sealant that has been...

    Nanoskin Pad Marring, What did I do wrong?

    P.S. on the Auto-Scrub Lubricant bottle, it says "Silicone-Free" in the ingredients. Just wanted to put that out there so everyone here knows that it doesn't have silicone in it (which is something an ingredient I was thinking may not have been good to use with the "nanoskin" pad)

    Nanoskin Pad Marring, What did I do wrong?

    Spiralout: Ah, I see now.. it's "rubber polymer". That's funny, I ocassionally use flat rubber pieces to remove various tire sling contaminants (light rubbing with soap only though). I would imagine that any particles on the paint would just get caught in the "rubber polymer" pad and spin with...

    Nanoskin Pad Marring, What did I do wrong?

    My thoughts: swanicyouth: I could definitely be wrong. I thought that the clay lube combined with the pad could mar only from my knowledge of the density and hardness of the element silicon and from someone else on these forums directly saying that clay lube/silicone can easily mar when used...

    Nanoskin Pad Marring, What did I do wrong?

    My guess is the clay lube: Cheap clay lubes have silicone in them. you can determine this by looking at the ingredients. And guess what?... Silicone is the PRIMARY cause of holograms. I didn't learn this myself, but i 100% remember a reputable someone else saying it on these forums. Also, I do...

    Vacuum Attachments?

    I have flat, very thin pieces of rubber (like large rubber bands but less stretchable) that I used when removing hair. They are about the size of my palm. Steps: Place it in your hand, flat press hard with all fingers onto the carpet Pull. Most hair will come right out because the hard...

    Combining Pads with Products to remove swirls

    Business really didn't start yet, because I was very fearful that I would mess up with the "junky" products I'm using because they never seemed to work for me! I've been testing on my car and my families and my Uncle in law got his car detailed by me as well as my Mother's friend. They both were...
