That is one awesome combo of a sound system. Done right. Bravo to you sir.

Like Setec said. It depends on your car, the color, and if you are satisfied. I finished my car off with m105 and I am quite happy with the results. I did a test panel to see if m205 would bring out anymore clarity to my paint. I hit it with 8 passes and honestly, to my eyes (20/20) it looked no...

Hey AGians! I had a chance to tackle something out of my league.. and well.. it was pretty out of my league lol. So these rims which are polished aluminum suffered some etching from an acidic wheel cleaner. I got a mothers cone from the store to try to polish out the etch marks but hardly made...

This shouldn't be any different from a regular mercedes. Is this an S class? Brabus is just a tuning company that does primarily performance upgrades mostly involving porting and stroking the cylinders and they have some body kits. The body panel paint shouldn't any different than a black...

So how much of the tube do you guys use for 1 application? I had A LOT left.

Thanks for the input guys!! After knowing that opticoat should be removed within a minute or 2 after the application, it came off much easier! HOWEVER, lol, Jet Black paint is seriously the worst paint to work with. Removal of the product was really where it was required to be extra meticulous...

Hey AGians, Please allow me to express the most defeated agony I am feeling. I have been working on my friends jet black 335 which has been widely known and regarded as the softest mother F***** paint EVER! I never really understood what everyone meant.. until now.. I did an m105 finished with...

Hey Smack, The past 2 days I had the chance to work on my friends 335 jet black. Basically the same car you did. I was amazed just how soft this clear coat was. Tell me I'm not crazy! Everyone said "omg super soft". I thought the Honda paints were soft until I worked on this baby. Is this some...

Cosmin, I spoke with a dent repair specialist about his business, briefly, when I hired him to remove a dent in my car. In this brief conversation he brought up a concern that is very applicable to detailing business owners. As the owner of your company, how do you prevent your employees from...

I completely agree with Greg on Perfect Finish. This stuff is amazing for achieving so much cut yet finishing like no other. I did a side by side comparison with m205 on a Honda S2000. The m205 by all means did a great job. The surface was swirl-less to the eyes. But upon further inspection with...

Cool thanks james!

Hey Guys, Just wondering how some of you guys price RV's? I have an RV owner who is interested in a simple wash and wax. It is 32' x 8'. Please chime in! Thanks in advance! Cheers! Will

makita seems to be the favored, but the dewalt is just as good. The flex rotary is lighter.

i completely agree lol, i've spot sanded a few scratches, but to do a whole car, i feel uneasy

I saw in another review a while back (forgot where), the denim pad removed more clear than wetsanding with 2000 grit in its quest to remove orange peel. He took measurements. If i remember correctly, the wetsanding removed 0.2 mils where as the denim pad removed 0.3.. or was it 2 mils and 3...

Does she know the difference between a swirl and a squirrel? If not, then maybe all you need to do is wash, clay and wax. If it requires some gloss then maybe just do a single step polish. I understand you love your wife and want the best for her, but as the saying goes... "what mama don't know...

I have the hex logic pads, I think they are mostly hype. I mean they work, but the orange pad just doesn't feel stiff enough. Compared to the Meguiars compound pad, it is much softer. If the mercedes is the car you are detailing, you've got some hard paint to cut through. I would go with the...

So PiPuk, what do you think would be a better alternative to IPA wipe downs?

Agreed! This is a great thread has encouraged good discussion.

In Cali, we get that sticky icky icky ;)
