    How To Detail The Ones That Should Be Burned

    I have seen a few of your videos, insane how dirty those vehicles are! How do you get so many disaster jobs? in 10 years in the business, I have never seen anything like that, and very badly dirty vehicles I see maybe once a year. I do charge a lot for my services and I tend to get a lot of...

    Tires getting cleaner scrubbing with a microfiber than a brush?

    It may. I never found one locally ;( Even our local autofiber store doesn't sell them ;( You should try it if you have a spare one. And then let us know ;)

    Best way to clean exterior of windshield

    Glass polish might be a little agressive for just cleaning the windshield. That is designed to remove damage in the glass. All the method listed work. My favorite is #0000 steel wool but you can use clay for the same result. You are just trying to remove the stuff that won't come off with...

    Car pro reload

    I no longer use reload because it just doesn't last. On the other hand, if you are only looking for gloss and are willing to use often, it's an excellent product. I would suggest you use it as a drying aid, this way you get both benefits. In my experience, you can expect about 2 weeks of...

    Ozone Generator Experts

    That is what I have read too. With the CLO2, smells come back after about 2 weeks. For that reason I have never purchased any and stuck to ozone. The thing with ozone is that you need to give it time to: 1. Fill the vehicle completelly. 40 mins is very likelly not enough. I normally leave...

    Tires getting cleaner scrubbing with a microfiber than a brush?

    Microfibers will clean better than any brush alone. No matter how much you brush a tire, there will always be some grime left behind. The microfiber is able to get that stuff off the rubber. If you don't believe me, clean the tire with a microfiber towel after you have done your normal...

    PPF

    PPF will get damaged instead of the paint. Once damaged, it looks worse than the paint because touch ups really show on PPF. So what are you gonna do, replace it everytime there is a stone chip in it? Assuming you leave it there several year and live with how it looks, when it is time to...

    Glass cleaning issues.

    What product did you use? I know that for me, if I clean a window using ONR, it leaves streaks in the glass using my regular micro-fiber towels. With the same towels, if I use Stoner's Invisible Glass, I get no streak. There are towels for glass that are much better at leaving streak free...

    Worn out handle on polisher

    I did not think about baseball tape, that might be better than tennis tape. Will check both out next time I go to the store. Thanks!

    Worn out handle on polisher

    Will try to remember to take some pics when I use it next. I contacted Chemical Guys, they sell that polisher, and only got the automated reply that they would get back to me. It's been a week and still no answer. I might just end up taping it like you suggested Icarus. Probably with hockey...

    Solution Finish, forgot to wipe off

    Like disolves like. Try to use some solution finish to wipe it down and then immediatelly buff off. My guess is that all the excess product will come off.

    Best way to clean exterior of windshield

    The best way to clean glass is to use the finest steel wool (#0000). You can polish as well. There is a video by Chris Fix that shows the process and works really well.

    Worn out handle on polisher

    Hey guys, curious to see if anyone of you had this problem and how you fixed it. The rubber pad on my Torq 10x polisher has ripped off from the head handle and now it's really annoying to use. It's still attached about half way and the other half is hanging loose making the use of the tool...

    New paint job curing time?

    It depends on the type of paint they used. Newer paint systems are water based and can be waxed after a few days. If they use an older type of paint that is solvent based, and you wax it too early, the solvents get trapped in the paint and will lift the paint off the pannel. The best...

    What are your opinions regarding Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam?

    Been wanting to try this product for a long time. A youtuber I follow (forensic detailing) has shown many times how awesome their pre-washes are. Unfortunatelly the product is always out of stock in Canada and I have stopped ordering from Autogeek because of the insane shipping costs...

    Polisher machines

    I use my 21mm DA on most cars that don't have a lot of curves. Otherwise I use the 8mm DA. Went wet sanding I usually compound with a rotary and polish with either DA depending on curves again. Although the 21mm with a wool pad is also good at removing sanding marks so if I was gonna use that...

    Time for new stuff - advice please!

    I have never tried the Rupes wool pads, but I use the wool pad from a local company and they are very good for heavy defect removal with a compound, to remove sanding marks for exemple, or to do an all-in-one on a vehicle with really bad paint. They are a step above micro-fiber cutting pads in...
