    How do you handle people who like to be sticklers but are also customers?

    Im not sure if you do this as a main source of income however IMO if you have customers say that to you, you definitely want to avoid them, especially if you do good work. I consider myself the weekend warrior, however 90% of the people around me call themselves professional and their jobs are...

    Wheel cleaner for old wheels (behind the spokes)

    When I took off my wheels to deep clean them there were pits of tar on them which were removed with a combination of rapid remover, meguiars super degreaser/wheel brightener, and steam... The face and barrels were immaculate however the back of the spokes were not 100% I guess, but the steam did...

    When I bumped up to mf pads as you recommended it did leave haze but I was able to cut through more of the defects leaving more of a desirable finish for me, I just wasnt sure if I should proceed further without more precautions and I did get the highline meter to ballpark how much paint im...

    Hey Zach, how are you? That is a gorgeous USB ISF you detailed and corrected, is it Emkurths? Yes, I am assuming this was soft paint, but you are correct I was not experiencing any hazing. The scratches came off pretty quick, maybe I went too aggressive (m105, orange, pc) so I was thinking it...

    RUPES 2" Backing Plate not for use with the rotary connector and the RUPES Nano iBrid

    Thats a great suggestion I could see the metal bumping into something by accident, but imo I think that metal part really blings out the polisher =)

    Hello, I also have a neighbor with the same car and his paint has the same issue except his is a lot more swirled out so the owner doesn't notice. I have to literally point it out to him with the right light. It seems like this is a toyota paint issue to me or the car was really neglected with...

    Pressure washer vs. Regular sprayer

    Pressure washers are cool and nowadays there are great electric power washers that produce a ton of suds with a foam gun. They also do make cleaning wheel wells and wheels a lot easier. If your like me and you like to keep the inner wells of the wheels looking clean they are a must. With that...

    It is a 2012... weird that the finish feels smooth as butter but the divots feels like it'll catch a fingernail looking like that. Still a drastic improvement the trunk was in horrible condition.

    Thanks buddy! I actually professionally detail for friends and family as well. They never have to go to the car wash now. Weekly ONR' rinse less and xpress wax keeps them happy and their cars well maintained. I do plan to correct them and coat them, hopefully in 2017 I'll get to do a lot more...

    Storing M21 sealant in clear container

    I store m21 in autogeek squeeze bottles and they are looking great so far... The autogeek bottles are also very good, I honestly prefer filling m21 in its original bottle into the autogeek bottle. Its so much more easier to use in the ag bottle, convenient push or pull to close or open and...
