    Nanoskin bonnets and the pros

    Clay is safer IMO. That said, I still use the nano skin system because when I have polishing jobs it saves me time and time is money. Usually, when its time to clay its also time to polish. If your car is already looking great you can use the nano skin and follow with a fine polish to remove...

    Rupes Bigfoot or Flex 3401 for enthusiast?

    Rupes. The flex is a much harder machine to use. Work great though but only in the right hands. My girlfriend can use my Rupes with no problem. Get the duetto. Its the easiest model to play with

    Key scratch repair needed - Chicago Area

    If you can feel it with your fingernail, get it repainted and use insurance. You MIGHT be able to find somebody who is good enough to fill the scratch but if you are anal like the rest of us, its going to bother the sh*t out of you.

    Cordless battery powered DA polisher?

    It can be done but would take a strong team of engineers, lots of money, and many many hours of research & design. Not sure any of the tools manufacturers want to shell out money for that right now. Maybe in a few years somebody will give it a shot...

    Looking for a new Wheel / Tire cleaner to try out.

    CarPro Trix for wheels. Tuf Shine tire cleaner is BY FAR the best I've tried. There is no way you can be disappointed with it. If you get it and don't like it ill buy it off of you :)

    Headlights restoration? What is ur method?

    500 Grit-800 grit Dry, 1200 grit wet, 3000 grit wet. Compound with M101. Seal em up. Used the DP kit and while it worked nicely without having to sand, the purple foamed wool pad supplied is too small. Wobbles way to much on a drill. So much so the pad delaminated from the backing and I had to...

    Chemical guys copying daytona?

    lol if you haven't realized yet, detailing products are, for the most part, copies of each other. You would be surprised how many company private label from large manufactures. Many of those small companies can't afford a team of chemists and a RnD team. Just lots of good salespeople in this...

    Steam washing car, will it induces swirl?

    steam just makes washing look cool but in fact thats probably doing more damage than a one bucket wash without a grit guard. Lubricity is what keeps the surface from getting scratched when you touch the paint. While steam breaks dirt up, there is still no lubricity guiding the dirt away from the...

    Opti-Coat Pro...how many coats?

    Multiple coats of OC pro won't make a difference. One evenly applied coat is all you need. What is your main reason for wanting to coat your car with OC pro vs other coatings?
