Those pics have a "cartoon" look to them because they look to be HDR edited photos. High dynamic resolution makes the shadows look darker and the light areas brighter, kind of how the movie 300 was.

I've had some good results with some metal polish and one of those small brown two ended brushes that look like a toothbrush. I used a kit that came with a cone for a drill and got most of the brake dust off on the flat areas that you can get good pressure on, and finished up all the corners and...

Thanks for all the info. I guess I'll stick with my polishes until I run out before trying a new one.

Yeah, that's what I was wanting to find out. Just as there is a defined difference between a wax and a sealant (even though there are hybrids), I was wondering if a glaze is always a glaze by definition, even though some of the descriptions of them don't seem any different than a polish. I have...

I have been looking through the forum, and recently read up what a glaze actually was, and the explanation I saw was that it is NOT a polish and has fillers to make a smoother surface. So I was interested in trying some out (I have been detailing for a few years but have only dealt with...

Once the swirls are out, you can keep them out if you use a good sealant or wax and keep it pretty clean. I have an 07 FJ that I use as my mobile detailing rig, and I love it. I would recommend as a few others have, to use some Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant 3.0 once you get everything like glass...

Another Wolfgang recommendation. I only use the spray as a QD after using the Deep Gloss Sealant 3.0. It beads water something ridiculous This particular bead of water is about 1/4" high

I use an inverter generator that I bought at Costco for $600. Its made by "Smarter Tools" but it has a Yamaha motor. Inverter generators are the way to go if you want less noise and smaller package. It's basically the same as the Honda EU2000, but just a cheaper version. When I first got it, I...

I'm pretty sure he said it was someone else's car....hahaha

I was guilty of that too haha.

Definitely pay someone to do it. It'll be cheaper than buying the required stuff. I used to fabricate stainless steel handrails and had to make the welds disappear, and for the polished stuff I had to go through about 4 stages of trizac bands with a tube polisher, then 3 stages of compounding...

I can't stand the wet look either. Looks like shiny hooker lipstick to me

I've been buying from Autogeek a lot. I was living in Jacksonville, Fl and they are about 3 hours away so shipping was ridiculously fast. I haven't decided where to shop for chemicals now like the dressings and cleaners. I've been mostly going off what my buddy does who is pretty successful...

How is soap and water much different? No matter how much lubrication there is for the dirt, there will ALWAYS be some level of friction with wiping it off, or else the dirt would literally just slide right of the paint, which we know doesn't happen. I trust a microfiber just as much as any...

I try to not buy from there anymore, but I really like the hexalogic pads. I made a big initial purchase there with chemicals so I haven't had to buy anymore yet

Do you mean the leaves would fall on the car? It was just a temporary spot cause that white truck was visiting. I normally parked it under the car port. I wish I still had the car. I got it running great after I swapped the carbs and changed to an electric ignition. It still needed some...

I think one of my worst purchases was getting interior dash tools. I bought two sets and have never used them. I just use cheap paint brushes with All Clean and microfibers and it works a lot better. I also bought two little red caddies from CG and I was pissed that I couldn't even fit a spray...

I use chemical guys All Clean on so many things and it works great. I haven't had any issues with discoloration, and I use it to clean interior panels, wheel wells (used to use it on the wheels until I found a good wheel specific cleaner) and on my engine details. It gets make up and all the...

Here is the Fury I had for a short time. The paint was pretty smooth when I got it, but used a DA with heavy pad with M105 and then light pad with M205, then the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant 3.0

I have been browsing a lot more on here lately and have had a detailing business on the side for quite a few months, but probably going to take it a little more full time. Thought I would show off some nice looking results I got with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant 3.0. This is my current vehicle I...
