3M pads are very good on a rotary. I use their full line: compounding (light yellow), polish/glaze (black), and the Ultrafina (light blue). They are pretty expensive compared to other like LC or Meguiar's (approx. 2x higher). So, it's personal preference for the performance or price for...

Let's see: Warm weather Meeting forum people Hooter's ladies (Meghan promised me they would keep me hydrated and alert) Answers to some questions I have about Diamondite Polishing a Shelby GTH Warm weather (I said that earlier...but it's important for old people) And, probably spending some...

Ivan: OUTSTANDING paint correction! I've done a few black Porsches and one had even been burned by the "authorized" dealer... what a rip. The same dealer wanted to hire me and pay me a whopping $47.50 per car and expected 2 cars per day. Gee, now I see why. Toto

Shoot....I'm packed, got my boarding pass, and am waiting at the airport for security to let me through LOL. Gonna be nice to see weather above 50 degrees. AL: are you flying in to Orlando? I've got a Hertz Shelby if you need a ride. Toto

GREAT Job Clay! Maybe you and I should form the Black Car Detailer's Association....theme song would be Ac/Dc's Back In Black (my fav anyway) LOL. Hope you get to Detail Fest

I used to give the customers a 4 oz bottle of Adams Detail Spray (sample size) and a microfiber. I'd like to find a supplier that could package these 2 items in a goodie bag with either my business card or my company name imprinted on the bag. I've also given a few Calif. Car Dusters to black...

Another Louisville Slugger Job!...super stuff you've done there Clay. Those "before" interior shots are something and I've seen a few of those myself. Are you coming to Detail Fest?

I've got them as well...and left them at the shop, so I used the black Edge wool....that puppy flat gets the job done. I'll probably pick up a spare at Detail Fest. Toto

Man oh man, do I appreciate the hard work you mobile folks do! I miss my lift, my lights, my indoor work area...but I got this done for a client of the dealer. Process: Wash, clay and inspect. Not enough time or $$ for wetsanding, etc. so I used System One Polish and wool followed by foam...

I use a DeWalt, a Metabo, and a Dynabrade. The DeWalt is a little too heavy for this old man. The Metabo is super light weight but I have grown to dislike the on/off switch and location of the rpm control wheel. So, it's the Dynabrade. Lighter by a pound or 2 than DeWalt and is built just as...

Hey Meghan: do you know any details of the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Palm Beach? (or wherever it is down there). I was thinking of going Sunday morning if it's close to Stuart and seeing some of the cars before I have to drive to Orlando. Post some wisdom will ya! Toto

Just wanted to clear that up for the Forum attendee's!

I'll bet YOU CAN! Have a Quality Day...I'm just goofing off at lunch. Toto

I've got a rental too....but I think Meghan's already committed to using it for demo. Toto

Here's an AutoGeeker getting his Goodie Bag and heading home from last year!

Thanks for the compliment killr: It's been fairly slow at the BMW shop. I only have 3 more late model "quickie" details to do, but I have 2 black private details so that will help. I think the Midwest is waiting for the 1st warm week and all "heck" will break loose. Maybe after Detail Fest...

Pardon my memory lapse (I guess age is taking its' toll LOL) for the name of this nice color 530i. The dealer told me and the name took the fast lane exit from my brain! Anyway, I used System One Polish start-to-finish and the dealer removed some trim mouldings for re-paint because they weren't...
