    Mysterious swirls?

    Umm, he takes the wash mitt, puts it on the ground on prupose then grinds it into the paint, so hes is not one to be afriad of admitting that he swirled up his car. He insists it is a subaru and a rally car, and it is there by nature suppose to be dirtly, ect. So im 99% sure he didnt even touch...

    I have always noticed that sometimes, a untouched surface with magically develop swirls, i really noticed this when my friend bought a brand new carbon fiber hood, out of the box it was perfect, even in the sun, a few weeks later, i saw light swirls, he said he never touch the hood since he put...

    Tips for a silver car

    I never have experienced that different waxes have different looks to them, but i havent ever does a test to prove that there is no difference, to me though, it doesnt make sense that a wax can add more depth, but have less shine etc. to me if a wax is going to do something its going to increase...

    Tips for a silver car

    I hear what you are saying budman.....but isnt the objective of ALL waxes/sealants to be as clear as possible? You want the paint to stand out as much as possible, regardless if it has flakes or not? I mean you dont want to apply a wax.sealant thats not clear, right? because the objective of all...

    Tips for a silver car

    In my opinion, using a different polish for a different color will not make a diffrence. I use menzerna polishes, and....they all work the same on all colors. I dont think i would be accurate to say that a specific polish would make a cretin color car "pop'' more. From a scientific stand point...

    Polishes With Amino Functional Silicones !!

    Yea, i have noticed that a lot of car care manufacturers get waxes/sealants and polishes confused, they call waxes polishes a lot of the times, and i notice older car care companys do it most. The real definition of a true pure polish is a product which removes swirls and leaves behind no...

    Flex 3401- how safe is it?

    I think you might have understood me a little or i didnt explain it well enough. I would have called flex personally and told them of this problem, but since it seems like they already new of it, and made a new gen backing plate to fix the problem, i figure there is no use, its been taken care...

    Tierd of being called a "car washer".

    Oh i have never been called a car washer by one of my clients, most of the guys i deal with are CEO's of company's or they hold some other well respected position. Also i dont deal with lower end vehicles, usually im doing a Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes ect. so need less to say these guys that i work...

    Tierd of being called a "car washer".

    Im sure other detailers have ran into this one before. Your talking to someone and some where along the way they ask what you do for a job, and you reply oh, i detail cars. So they go oh, okay, your a car washer. You try to explain that detailing is really a highly skilled job and that there is...

    Flex 3401- how safe is it?

    Havent got a chance to use the new BP, and i didnt call the guy at westren tool supply because really, i dont think it matters, the point is that it did what it did, and it shouldn't have. What may have caused it...i dont know, but really its flexs job to research these kinds of things not mine

    Zymol Waxes

    My opinion on zymol waxes, or any other wax that is in the hundreds of dollars that offer no other advantage besides a "claimed increase in gloss" is really that there is no point. Remember perp reflects 95% of what the car is going to look like. Rather than dropping 100+ dollars on a wax, use...

    Flex 3401- how safe is it?

    Well, yes it is expensive, but in this case at least you pay for what you get. In this case you pay top dollar, but you get back top quality(except for the problem i had with the backing plate.) but other than that, it feels great in your had, you can tell its built real solid. The grip is...

    Flex 3401- how safe is it?

    How safe is the flex? My opinion: Relatively safe. I think there is a fairly short learning curve. I would have no problem jumping right onto my vehicle with the flex, given that i have had some experience with orbital buffers. Damaged any paint yet? No, and dont plan to. Ive left the felx in...
