    Hey Rhythm, Thats the normal around here with body shops. My friend just got his fender repaired for a little fender bender he got into, and yeah they replaced the fender and repainted it correctly, however the *whole* car got wet sanded, compounded, and polished out for free along with the...

    Carpro Reload 1000ml vs 500ml

    You should give them a call, I doubt their going to hold a 1liter refill as the old version and 500ml as the new version. When I bought my quartz uk set it had a bottle of old picture of reload however when received it was the new version. I noticed reload requires a bit of a learning curve...

    Seems like AG doesn't supply this product anymore? Thats a bummer... You say its one of the best coatings? What other consumer coatings would you rate in the same or higher range?

    Quick Mini Review Of The Scangrip Sunmatch and I-View Lighting System

    True, I will probably do it yearly or something I thought about the pads on the next pad run but these have never failed when I needed them, just wish brembo made something with less dust. :props:

    Quick Mini Review Of The Scangrip Sunmatch and I-View Lighting System

    Figured I had a little time off work so why not share my review here of the I-view and Sunmatch by Scangrip. Prior to this purchase, I was skeptical at first, because all of my detailing was done without lightning however these two small tools made life much easier. I am a big fan of off label...

    Which Quick Detailer / Waterless Wash ?

    I would stick to something made for rinse less washing such as the McKee rinseless wash solution or the optimum no rinse. The meguiars quick detailer is for light touch ups its two differences.

    Touching up Paint Coating Blemishes

    I am assuming so, one of the downfalls of coating. I plan to leave mine alone and enjoy it for the next two years. I think if your the type that will polish out every little blemish, then wouldn't have been better to go for something like a sealant/wax? I think carpro makes something like...

    Swirl marks after 1 Rinseless Wash (WG Uber)

    Isn't impossible to keep a finish 100% swirl free, I have been rinseless washing my car for almost a year now even after a compound/polish correction I am seeing very little washed inducing swirls only viewable in the sun at the right angle, nothing of how it was before. I've noticed more swirl...

    OK I am hooked - Pressure washer and Foam Cannon!

    Nice, personally I prefer rinse less but everyone loves a foam party, if you can make more business with it then its a good investment.

    Touching up Paint Coating Blemishes

    Hey C5, I too had a little high spot on the paint, but with cquartz uk I guess when I wiped off the excess product it got lightly applied to the edge of the hood which I noticed the next day. I actually went back over it with 205 with white pad in that small area enough to not see the spot any...

    Marketing yourself with good before and after pictures by Mike Phillips

    One of the greatest tools you can't live without. I also use it to snap onto the chassis while doing oil changes, brake changes, and under the hood to light up the work area. Such a versatile tool that I have grown accustomed to. Cant forget about the I-view, I would never do interiors without...

    New Car Detailed Using Optimum No Rinse and Gloss Coat - Honda Civic Sport Touring

    The vehicle I worked on was a brand new Honda Civic Sport Touring Model and pearl white. The car was fresh off the boat still in wrappers and ready to be prepped for a coating. This seemed like a challenge as the area I was working does have water restrictions, but we were able to succeed and...
