    Wheels off detail?

    A lift would absolutely make it easier for you to remove and replace the wheels in a more timely fashion with less risk. As far a re-torquing the wheels I think that if you went around the vehicle with the customer present to show them that all the lug nuts are properly torqued it would...

    Painful tingling in hands after polishing.

    You may or may not build up a tolerance after a while to the vibration caused by the polisher. I used a Porter Cable PCXP for the last four years and experienced the same problem after a few hours of use. I recently purchased a Rupes 15 polisher and have yet to experience the same numbness in...

    Critical Details: GMC Denali HD - Minor Paint Correction

    Thanks. Yes the last two pictures are of the leather being steam cleaned. Since the interior was black and wasn't too soiled the after pictures didn't look all that different from the before pictures. I do have some pictures of heavily soiled interiors on my Critical Details Instagram if...

    Critical Details: GMC Denali HD - Minor Paint Correction

    Thanks. The first round of cleaning involved steel wool and Optimum Power Clean diluted at 3/1. I wanted to remove as much contamination as possible before polishing the stainless steel. Optimum Metal Polish was used injunction with a 4 inch orange Lake Country pad via a Flex rotary. A...

    Critical Details: GMC Denali HD - Minor Paint Correction

    The vehicle owner came in for a Decontamination Detail and after claying the paint I knew that I had to go the extra mile. I was able to remove and diminish a majority of the swirls by performing a Minor Paint Correction. However, since this vehicle spends quite a bit of time off-road, the...

    Critical Details: Subaru Outback 2.5XT - Foam Cannon

    Thanks for watching. I think it is because this style of detailing video is more entertaining than the How To Detail videos. Thank you. I have been going for that cinematic feel with my latest detailing videos and I think that I nailed it on this one. When I first showed the video to my...

    Recommend products for swirl removal on 2008 Nighthawk Black Pearl Honda Civic using DA buffer?

    When performing a one step paint correction on a Honda I use Menzerna Final Finish 3000 on a white pad. Final Finish will eliminate swirls and leave the paint LSP ready. However if you have RIDS you will need to use Power Finish 2500 or in my case Intensive Polish 2000 on an orange pad. The...

    Critical Details: Subaru Outback 2.5XT - Foam Cannon

    I have a Rigid 3000psi 2.6gpm gas pressure washer. The foam cannon in the video is a MTM foam cannon that I have been using for the past 3 years and love it. Did you buy your foam cannon yet? Marco I use the MTM foam cannon. The specs on the AG foam cannon say it allows 2,300psi and the...

    What does everyone charge for head light restorations?

    Those headlights are pretty cloudy and definitely require a lot of work to restore. Check out this 50/50 picture from a pair of 11 year old headlights that I recently restored. Headlight Restoration - Critical Details Blog Headlight Restoration - Auto Detailing: 2000 Acura, RL - YouTube

    What does everyone charge for head light restorations?

    I have had customers buy the 3m Headlight restoration kit and still came to me after using it. They felt that they weren't getting the desired results and were scared to push the limits. OP I charge $75 a pair and seal the headlights with Opti-Lens. I coated 6 pairs of headlights using my...

    AM I to slow?

    You can substitute the clay bar for a prep towel if you want to speed up the process a bit. Twelve hours for an interior/exterior detail is pretty good for such a large vehicle. I detailed (Iron X Application, Minor Paint Correction and Interior Rejuvenation Detail) a Cadillac Escalade the...

    Critical Details: Honda Fit Sport - Opti-Coat Application

    The Pinnacle bug sponge is awesome I have been using them for approximately 3 years now. The bug sponge requires less pressure and fewer passes to remove stubborn bugs. I use the fine grade prep towel and have not noticed any significant marring on softer clear coats. If a vehicle's paint...

    Your welcome. I have a few more detailing videos in the works for July so keep an eye out for new content. Thanks for the support Thank You. I used 4 ounces of Optimum Car Wash mixed with hot water in my MTM foam cannon. The thickness of soap is also affected by how many PSI and GPM your...

    my first OC2 project

    I have never applied a second layer of Opti-Coat without removing the previously applied layer. If I remember correctly you can layer Opti-Coat within the first 30 days before it cures. 5cc of Opti-Coat is far too little unless you are coating a Two door convertible. Optimum Recommends using...
