    Question for mobile detailing guys with small vans?

    Anyone like and use 3D One Cutting Compound and Finishing Polish?

    We use it a lot in my shop. Its my go to product for vehicles that need a two step but the customers budget does not cover a two step job. Long buff cycle, low dusting, can control the amount of cut or how well it finishes down based on the pad. I pair it up with the beast and get excellent...

    HAMMERED BUICK GN and Camaro SS

    Looks great! I'm a fan of IGL, Premier has always seemed to streak for me. I've never tried applying it with a machine and a foam pad. Will have to give it a try

    How's your business handling the COVID19 pandemic?

    Unfortunately, I can't remember the brand of my machine, it's in the shop. I've been using it for several years for odor elimination and it has more than payed for itself. From what I have read, you need to run the machine for 30 - 60 minutes to kill pathogens and viruses.
