Looks like they lifted chunks of filler out of the panel. Possibly air bubbles in the filler before the panel was painted? Either way, super sloppy, wouldn’t make me confident about any of their work. I’d sue them and have a competent shop fix the damage. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I would look at Poorboys Polish with Sealant. I wouldn’t use it every time I wash. It should remove light water spots. Might also want to consider a ceramic coating to minimize the possibility of water spots in the first place. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Corvette paint is regarded as being particularly robust and difficult to polish due to its “hardness” so I hate to burst your bubble but I doubt you will get anywhere with that polisher. Same goes for the jewelling was, that has a superfine abrasive. The best answer to your question, in my...

Richy, that scene in the movie Wayne's World, where they're bowing down going "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!" That's me right now...

If the vibration and noise are your biggest pet peeves with your Porter Cable then I would go with a Rupes machine and stick to using Rupes brand pads. They are engineered together to have the best balance and minimize vibration. I use my Rupes 15 with non-Rupes pads most of the time, but there...

Very well, lots of suds.

That's a sweet tip, thanks!!

This would be how I would approach this car too. I would imagine it would have hard paint and I have used m101 with great success on hard GM paint. I would use something more "robust" than a GG6 though, a Flex 3401 would be a better choice if you have one available. Also note, a paint thickness...

$400 for "average" sized cars using HD Speed. I'm in the 6-8 hour range depending on if I choose to chase down any RIDS that bother me :-p.

Pictures would help a bit here. If your car is jet black and not sapphire black metallic, you have one of the most notorious difficult to work on paints in the automotive industry. It could very well be that you are inducing some marring with your towels when you remove the polish residue. I...

What do you mean "glazed pad?" I've never heard that term before...

Looks real nice now, no wonder there were no offers on it before 8-). How did you find the ozone worked on the cigarette odor?

I don't think anything by hand will be the least bit effective but you can give it a shot, won't hurt anything. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

V36 isn't a very effective product to begin with, I would venture to say that using it by hand will do absolutely nothing. Check the paint code on the driver's door jamb, if there is a "C" in front of it you have Ceramiclear paint which is extremely hard and durable. You won't be able to do...

When I go for "super heavy" correction work with a rotary and wool pad (usually 7") I hover between 1200-1500rpm. I find that the compound breaks down pretty quickly and I can inspect my results and continue on as needed if I'm not where I want to be. The thing that I personally find with...

Mike, what will be the cost to just attend the skills verification for IDA on Sunday?

I'll be on vacation in Ponce Inlet at the end of March if you want to wait ;-)

What color is the Jeep? I have used the Chemical Guys polishes and would not recommend them to my biggest rival. I did not think they did nearly as good of a job as other product lines.

Best bet would be a ceramic coating, since it lives outside and you plan on keeping it awhile. Look into rinse less washing, you can have the whole car looking freshly detailed in half an hour.

I would look into Optimum No-Rinse and Optimum Car wax to maintain your car. This is what I use on customers who get a basic detail from me. If you search on YouTube for Yvan Lacroix he shows how to wash and wax your car in about an hour. Car care product technology has come a long way. The old...
