Geesh, did I read that right ~ "Scraper?" Looks more like somebody may have been made at his wife, took a claw hammer and took his frustrations out. All I can say is good luck. :>)

Strange you should bring this up. My friend who own's his own detail shop and I are talking about doing the same thing. We will keep his detailing shop opened for just that but with the size of his shop and then the size of my home shop, there is plenty of room in both to do this type of work...

Harbor Freight was mentioned. Just my .02 but as somebody else said, don't waste your money. I've bought large and small, electric and air buffing machines from this company and I really kicked myself for doing so. I finally trashed all of them and spent a little more money and bought the PC...

Just curious. Why use ONLY the flat pads?? I've found they build up heat a lot faster than using the newer versions of pads.

Not to be negative on the first small buffer that came out but I bought one. First time I used it was on a one year old car that had minor swirl marks and some fine scratches from drying with an improper towell. After running this small machine for about 5-10 minutes, it started heating up...

This should be a no brainer problem. :>) When I first started detailing and although I live in Oregon, I too would get stuck with rain storms. Before I bought my current home, I looked at all the "canvas" covers ~ the ones you can park a HUGE RV under. They come in various sizes - tall...

I have tried a lot of different tire dressings. No, not all of them. However, having super large tires on my Rubicon and Dodge Diesel, I started using Adam's tire dressing. The spare time on the back of my Rubicon does not have a cover over it. Sun beats down on it every time I drive it...

Try this link: https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=hts&oq=&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGNI_enUS511US511&q=opti-coat One of the links off of there said you can polish it "over a period of time." But it didn't say how long that would be. Give the company a call if you can't fing...

I've been detailing for about five or six years. Used different products from different companies.. When it comes to cleaning my wife's new Mercedes-Benz, my new jeep and new Dodge Diesel, the ONLY thing I wash them with is made by Chemical guys and it's called Honey Dew: Chemical Guys...

Chemical Guys CWS_302_CLEAR - Citrus Daily Car Wash with Extreme Suds (1 Gal)

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcCR7US3NQE]Foam Lance MTM - YouTube[/video] This is what I use and it really puts the suds out. Read down a little after watching the video. You will see where the guy states that he does this "twice" to his car and then he does not use a 2 bucket wash...

Use IPA. You can buy a bottle of it for around $2.00.

You can if "you" want to but based on personal experience, stay away from using Dawn dish shop!! If you want to thoroughly clean your vehicle, start with a good car shampoo and give it a bath. Then, take you choice of a liquid spray that will help the clay bar by lubricating it as you move...

Tks for the update. But still doesn't take away my pain. :>) THEN you show me the boat. THAT was something, years ago, that I really wanted to get into. I saved and saved and then the first daughter was born then the second came along and then with that the bills for taking care of them...

IF I ever see it on sale - ah heck, even if it's not on sale, I'm going to buy another one. When I detail I like to have everything fairly close to me so I'm not waisting time walking all over the place. I have a great detailing cart (three shelves) on wheels, electrical power strip and all...
