    Paint Sealant question, as I do some Recon

    I've noticed on some local Detailers websites, that they offer two coats of sealant with their higher end packages. Isn't this an incorrect application of the sealants? My thought is this, a sealant needs about 12 hrs. to cure and fully bond to the clearcoat. Spreading a 2nd coat too soon will...

    Tree sap help needed ASAP

    Had some bad sap job recently, a 3 year buildup from sitting under the same tree. Claybar would handle the light stuff, so I switched to "Goof Off" or "Googone" and Meg's Ultimate polish for what remained, it erased all of it and left no marks on the clearcoat.

    Today's Tragedy

    Turns into a tough topic when we turn it into wether we should have access to assault weapons. When the Russian threat was more realistic in the 70's, even their Gov. said that because individual Americans were so well armed, it was not a plausible idea to try and occupy the United States...

    Some will ask why God allowed this to happen, it’s because he’s not allowed in schools anymore…God bless all of you.... I'm with you Bobby, this whole thing hurts but there is a bigger picture and we'll be lifting up these families at our home Bible Study. The world is fitting into the "End...

    Boat Detailing?

    Thanks for the feedback guys, I looked at that video you attached Sailfish, Mike was demo'd the DA buffers but they described the boat as in pretty good shape. I think that I will end up doing what doc pain is doing and see if I can get a test subject at some time to gain the experience, but...

    Boat Detailing?

    Ok, I have a friend who owns a boat and pays a detailer $22.00/FT. to detail his boat each year. His thoughts are that the real money would be in detailing boats as there are large boats at his Marina. I've never done one yet, but plan to move up to the Flex 3401C over the off season as I would...

I think that's crazy, I've heard other...

    Liquid Glass- anyone used it?

    Thanks for all the replies, this site has been a real help for me. My father used to say "experience is an expensive teacher", but it's the best one too. I've been fine tuning which products to use for each section of detailing that work best for me and save time but not affect quality. I want...

    To clay or not to clay and M105/205 Question

    I've been using Mike Phillip's 6 pass technique with Meg's Ultimate Compound" and have had great results, it doesn't rob much of your clearcoat. 105 is a heavy hitter and works great, but Two 6's is right, be nice to the clearcoat before you decide to send in the "Broad Street Bullies".
