    Ceramiclear clearcoat

    Oh, it was clayed and prepped properly. Maybe you and Mike got lucky. I can only go by what I've experienced. Why would Menz go.to the effort of making a pkg specifically for Ceramiclear which includes FG400 to be used at the factory if it wasn't hard and needed a very aggressive compound to be...

    Ceramiclear clearcoat

    I just did an ml500 C040 black 3 days ago. I almost turned it down due to the frustration and headache associated with Ceramiclear. This thing was trashed! You name, it had it. But, it was a friend of a friend that wanted to throw me all of his commercial business so I took the job. I don't...

    2016 Infiniti QX50 Paint Hard, Soft, or Somewhere In-between?

    I'm prepping a 2016 QX50 tomorrow for PPF later this week and wanted to know if anyone has first-hand knowledge of the hardness of the white version of this vehicle. I've done plenty of wax-n-vac's on Infiniti's of every flavor but I haven't corrected this specific vehicle. Searches I've done...

    Just saw a news report from CBS that named Stuart and W. Palm Beach as being dead in the path of Dorian which now has 185 mph sustained winds - the strongest ever recorded in modern history. Yikes! They also said they're expecting a storm surge of 23 feet, basically the height of a 2 story...

    Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Wax, holy cow it’s good!

    Its awesome stuff. I switched to using it exclusively over a year ago. My customers love it. One of the best things about it is there's no need to wait for it to haze before wiping it off. The label says to do a panel at a time wiping it off immediately. Doing so makes it so much easier to wipe...

    1988 Pontiac Fiero Rally Stripes Removal and Prep for Sale

    The interior is equally as nice. No rips, tears, cracks and everything works as designed. AC was converted years ago and he just had it flushed and replaced the orifice tube and another main part a week ago so it's frosty cold !! 78,000 miles on the clock! The 6 cyl engine with dual exhaust...

    1988 Pontiac Fiero Rally Stripes Removal and Prep for Sale

    Here are a few more that show just how much adhesive I had to deal with. It was at least twice as thick as any I've seen before! And seriously, I have to give a HUGE shout out to Tarminator! I'm still blown away by its ability to quickly penetrate and break down the adhesive that Rapid...

    1988 Pontiac Fiero Rally Stripes Removal and Prep for Sale

    Thanks Mike. I edited my post so that the pics appear without having to click the links. Regarding getting your yacht to you, nah, I know where you live. (That came out a lot more stalkery/creepy than it sounded in my head.) :laughing: I took the pics using my DSLR so I wasn't using my phone to...

    1988 Pontiac Fiero Rally Stripes Removal and Prep for Sale

    In addition to the detailing services I offer, I also have a broker program in which I will sell a vehicle for a customer for commission. It's a great deal for the customer because all that's required of them is to bring me the vehicle to be prepped and that's it. I get the vehicle ready, write...

    Portable water deionizer

    I misspoke when I said the output pressure needs to meet the min require by your pw, I meant Gallons Per Minute (GPM). I'll answer your question first and come back to that. Connecting it backwards may have been the cause of resin coming out. As far as the TDS level being at 70ppm after 10...

    Portable water deionizer

    You shouldn't be getting any resin coming out of your tank. Check that the water pressure coming out of your deionizer meets the minimum required by your pw. If it's not high enough to meet the demand of your pw, it will essentially be pulling the water through your deionizer and possibly be...

    reducing the sheen/glossiness of leather

    You can knock down the sheen a couple of different ways. Neither of these methods are permanent but each will provide a dull-er finished product that will last for several weeks and they are easily performed so repeating the process when necessary is fairly easy. The first way is to wash the...

    Need Advice on DSLR Settings to Take Clear Defect & 50/50 Shots

    Just as the title says, I am seeking advice/tips from someone who is knowledgeable about DSLR camera settings to help me take better shots of defects and 50/50 shots. I really struggle to get these types of shots no matter the angle, lighting, etc. The things I can see clearly with the naked eye...

    Customer says I caused holograms in coating? - Wants to sue me!

    Customer says I caused holograms in coating? - Wants to sue me!

    Holograms aside, is it possible to see where a coating starts and stops or if an area is or isn't coated? If so, then it should be easy to tell if the holograms are under the coating or if they exist only where a rotary has been used thereby removing the coating and leaving the holograms with...

    Upcoming Project - Very cool but also very challenging!

    Ok, so going by the info gleaned from the other thread about this project and it only being a 1 day thing, and since that thread sees you up to the flight back home, it's safe to say the project is complete and was a success. Congrats and yada, yada, yada. That being the case, WHAT THE HELL WAS...

    How fast can you wash an "average" size car?

    This question has been asked numerous times over the years and there are always those who say they can thoroughly wash and dry a car, start to finish, in less than 30 mins. - some even stating they can do it in 15 mins. I have to call B.S on this! They're either doing a half-assed job or they're...
