It is now 2018 model year so the paint does deserve some love.

KalvinTong, You will like CarPro Reflect (Korea) finishing polish on this Toyota black Paint. Easy to remove from paint completely.

What about Rupes?

I agree that it was nice filming but I turned off the volume and can't imagine that you need all of that to get work? Why not try a photo gallery with some very short action video shots? I think you would be able to get work from existing happy customers and word of mouth. Your methods look...

That is correct we have a Flex PE-14 and the 14mm extensions don't fit.

The rotary was 14mm shaft size. That may have been a non USA model. Try calling them in Colorado.

I had a great time putting in some work at the show car garage.Detailing is something that people with 60 years of age difference can share the same passion! Not to many places that are hands on like this anymore.

911: what is your emergency? You:Help I fell washing my cars and I cant get up. 911: Sorry sir the roads are not passable until the plows clear them. You: Please hurry I am going to get water spots.:laughing:

I would like to personally thank Mike for allowing me to practice what he taught in this session today. After taking his two day class on wet sanding as well as the processes needed to bring paint to the final polish on different types of cars and paint.I was itching to prove that I learned...

Depending on your paints hardness Rupes ultra-fine (white top) would be better replaced with Rupes fine (yellow top) and yellow pad or micro fiber pad. My paint needs Yellow polish and yellow micro-fiber pads.

I also have and love the Ibrid but I believe the OP is needing a AIO light correction production detailing set-up. I think the Ibrid is better to use on larger dollar jobs. My Ibrid stays home when I am doing cars that just need to shine again.

I reserved a room and will be there for this great opportunity to learn. I learned so much at the last class I want to learn more. This is a great skill for anyone wishing to correct paint. We all have seen a body shop repair that just doesn't look right but were lacking experience to fix it...

I used the micro fiber mop and it did a perfect job. The only problem is if you try to use just one for the whole job. Limited mobility is not a problem as much as limited sight. I could not see the sand, bug guts, or bird droppings that might get on the mop and rub against the paint. With...

I think you might consider a PE-8 from flex with extensions A PE-8 can be used for sanding on headlights, front bumpers on road rashed daily drivers, bottom section around the car, precise compounding and polishing guided by a steady hand. Thus, eliminating the need for tape in many cases. I...

I think it is always better to use rinseless wash instead of waterless because you can flush dirt off the paint with a sprayer and a well saturated sponge or mitt. Waterless is almost like guaranteeing that you will make swirls if it is more than dust. Most daily drivers have some grit on them...

Tom that will also be the thinnest paint that you have worked on. I see them all the time that have been buffed clear off.

Tom why not try a pad like the Lake Country HDO blue or orange? You may get a surprise about the cut. If you do not have them just try a yellow or green Rupes.

I think he just does washes with that stuff on paint he is stripping. After that you should apply a layer of wax at a minimum. Lets see the side effects on other parts of the vehicles like rust and premature trim fade. Also what about this absorbing into your skin as you wash?

Re: RUPES Paint Correction & Polishing Class with Jason Rose and Mike Phillips - December 2nd and 3rd - at Autogeek's Show Car Garage! Well just arrived back from a class I should have attended 2 years ago! It is not possible to put in words the difference between YouTube and a live hands on...

May be that it is getting stains from stuff in the mud? could just need a good bug and tar remover. https://www.autogeek.net/carpro-trix-paint-cleaner.html or https://www.autogeek.net/tarminator.html in those spots.
