what is the brand? i am also interested in a long pile mf wash mitt.

I will be negotiating these terms with him on the next visit :) I agree it is a no brainer, but that was not a number that came from him haha. I will negotiate percentages with him along with who supplies. Thanks for your input! 70% would be awesome! However, I am using his shop so I am not...

Hey AGians, So I found a detailing gig offer on craigslist from a shop that primarily does high end vehicles and definitely charges unlike any other place I have seen. The cheapest package they provide is a wash/clay/wax/interior and they also provide sealant upgrades as well as opti coat 2.0...

I find that windows rarely need any dedicated window cleaner if you dry them properly after a wash. The key is use a primary towel to remove most water left on the windows followed up by a secondary towel to buff away anything left over. If you are not washing the car and just wiping windows...

I know a couple of full service car wash owners. On summer days they will rake in over 1000 cars a day at average $20 per car. You do the math ;) One of them washed over 20,000 cars in December this year due to the lack of rain. There operation typically have 50 employees at any given time on a...

The shape of a drill is less favorable as it is harder to keep the pad flat. when the pad walks on you, correcting the angle becomes more difficult due to the orientation of the tool (tall). Otherwise, if you can hold a drill as even and consistent as a polisher, it will do the same job, given...

Maybe want to try using a finishing polish rather than a compound like FG400. Sonax PF comes to mind, M205, Menz 2500 also.

awesome idea scorey!

Aside from the method of application, I think it is also fair to note that Corvette paint, of any color, is a pita to deal with. And you just happend to land on a black one. D: I feel your feels sir.

Please don't use a scotch bright pad!! Wheels are painted. And since we would never use a scotch bright pad on our paint, we should never use these on our wheels as it scratch the hell out of them.

While sonax remains one of the strongest wheel cleaners out there, I've had better luck with Iron X for this particular situation due to the fact that it reacts a lot faster than sonax. These caked on dust bits will take several applications to fully remove. I suggest using Iron X and letting it...

If shiny is the look you want, Meguiars Gold Class wipes, like what GettingStarted said.

go to theragcompany.com they have a 10 pack deal for $25. They are the WINTER SPECIAL DETAIL MASTER™ PRO Super Plush w/ Satin Edge 10Pk. They have a super long nap like the chinchillas, maybe longer, and are 500gsm. These are probably the best style towels for rinseless/waterless. And for $2.50...

I just love how hydrophobic Sonax products are. Dry your car with a spritz of Sonax high speed wax per panel or per half panel.

I have a bottle of Brown Royal. This stuff's strength is comparable to sonax. HOWEVER!!!! DO NOT USE ON BARE ALUMINUM!!! I etched the crap out of my buddy's workmeister wheels and had to get them repolished. Was a very expensive lesson learned. Otherwise, Brown Royal cleans amazing on clear...

^lol

If the swirls aren't too bad like you say, then maybe a 1 step is what you are looking to do. Either Menzerna 2500 or Sonax Perfect Finish would probably be best for the job. Both of these have more cut than a fine polish like m205 but finish down just as well, if not better. Sonax is a bit...

milk is leaning towards the basic end of the spectrum so it shouldn't etch your paint

The GG operates under brute force, or displacement if you will. Rupes uses better engineering (throw) to compensate/surpass the competition. My go to analogy is GG = high displacement v8, Rupes = straight 6 TT... 25psi? ;))))
