Alright, I've pointed the defects out to the owner and he's agreed to let me perform a test spot. With much thanks to Deep Gloss Auto Salon and his thread here: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/24617-deep-gloss-jet-black-2010-bmw-m3-hacked.html I was able to show the owner a...

Thanks for the article links and clarification, Mike. Given your advice on safely correcting new paint considering your extensive experience in paint correction, I'll assume there's a very good chance that the paint is safe to work on with a DA. If I obtain the owner's consent to do a test...

Thanks for the quick replies! Just the clarify the sequence of events to limit confusion: The car was painted 6 weeks ago, after it was painted, the owner had possession of it up until it was "buffed". During this time it was lightly driven but I believe they (owners) were instructed to not...

Hello All, I just wanted to bounce some pictures off of those who are more experienced I than am when it comes to correcting paint. I have this 2001 Black Chrysler Sebring Lxi in my care for the next week or so. It's owned by a good family friend, and they're main focus is a thorough cleaning...

Excellent write-up! The time-lapse videos and HDR reflection shots are awesome. It was a great read, Legacy. Thanks for your extensive time and effort put into this review. :xyxthumbs:

Hey Everyone! I was just wondering what kind of wash you guys use to get all the old wax and sealant off vehicles when you're just doing a typical wash and wax. This morning I did a white GMC Envoy. It had horrifying amounts of iron filings in the paint that had created a healthy speckling of...

Excellent, excellent advise tuscarora dave, Showroom Shine, GK Auto Spa and WindyCity! I have quoted price "ranges" over the phone, but not set prices. That's some undeniable logic Dave. Good for the customer, good for you. I was originally going to have a 90 gal. water tank, 6.5 gas HPW...

...and would like any advice anyone has on any aspect of this business. I've been reading a lot about detailing through this year of college, and have been doing a lot of detailing the past couple months. I've figured out many of the things that work well, for many different situations. So I've...

Great job! And excellent first write up as well. I don't have any paint polishing experience (yet, beginning of May I'll be doing my first car too) but I'd say from lurking on here for a while that you've done a fine job. I'm with feslope; the next time you tackle something with that kind of...

Fantastic job Richard! I'm new to this too, and this is truly inspirational. Keep up the great work man. :xyxthumbs:

I promise to give a review and want to try out some free Dodo Products that the sweet people at Autogeek.net want to give to me! :kiss:

I would love to try out the pads as well.

Thanks for the warm welcomes! :o About these Ricardo Clay Bars, I don't know anything about the product but I found it on a Canadian online retailer. Both the Blue and Yellow formulas go for $21.99 CDN. The disclaimer at the bottom says that it can't enter the U.S. due to some type of patent...

Wow! Congratulations :xyxthumbs: You'll be busy alright. Best of luck!

Great work Cosmin, a vast improvement from what it was. Very clean ride, and that is a nice interior! :xyxthumbs:
