    Make Pearl White even better... Possible?

    I think if you clay and fine polish, then add a glaze or wax then you will be able to see the depth of shine. I too have a Pearl White and it is impossible to see any miniscule minor swirls, you need to park it next to a black car with swirls to see the difference in full sun, something like a...

    Detailing scam

    The Little Things What sets us apart as "Detailers"

    Nice tips, sometimes I bypass these faults because a owner isn't aware of them, plus the tip on interior plastics I will try on my car (I am going out to buy a heat gun now).

    Pad and compound combo.

    I have just done a Senator for a friend, I have used a DAS6-Pro 5.5 inch with Chemical Guys Orange Pad (hence the Lake Country would be the same) and only used Meguiars Ultimate Coumpound and have removed 95% of swirls in one step. (I have now ordered Meguiars 105 and 205 and two more orange...

    How many of your neighbors are into car detailing

    I think it is poorly laziness with no thought that air drying will reduce swirls.

    Speedy Prep towel (fine grade) and the "baggie test"...read before buying!

    I have yet to use my expensive clay cloth/mat, but the hype is that it will finally replace the clay bar.

    Advertising Idea... Please critique

    I think the colours and the logo are OK, just the wording needs to be a bit stronger (the message), perhaps a condensed font bearing in mind that we are reading sideways.

    Brake rotor rust

    Yes I understand your problem, I just hate that rust on the rotors. I think the solution is to drive the car with light application of brakes, it doesn't need much to get the rotors clean. I never thought that when it rains the rotors must get rust just like a wash.

    Paste Wax

    Just don't drop it on the floor when you knock it out of the tin, the expensive waxes always just pop out of the tin especially for this purpose, the cheaper waxes never come out of the tin.
