    Cleaner wax does more than just shine. It will remove some contaminants, and has the ability to polish out some light scratches. I use it as my one step and couldn't be happier with the results. It lasts a LONG time, too. My hood was still beading up after 3 months when i stripped it off to...

    A little Compounding help

    If you need more pads (and it sounds like you do), there's a buy one get one on LC 6.5 flats. Makes it a lot easier to get around the car when you can swap pads and not clean the ones that are totally gunked up.

    For sure. I re state my earlier story. Their hook up, your hose and sprayer.

    Honestly, if you going for lower priced stuff but still want quality, you can't beat Meguiars. In my experience, they don't make anything that sucks. Natural Shine interior, cleaner wax, Hot Shine tire dressing, etc. It's all good stuff, and you can get it pretty much anywhere.

    What kind of shoes keep your feet dry?

    Ok, obviously this isn't your typical "sweet garage!" topic, but an honest question regardless. My shop has no floor drain, and no real slope to the floor. I use a floor squeegee (sp!?) to push the water out between washing and drying. I just wear a my adidas' to work, and needless to say my...

    00 Corrolla Reflection shots pt.1

    It's red. Darker colors show the shine so much better than lighter colors!

    Last summer I did exactly that! No one thought twice about me using their hose. I have a shop now, but will be advertising the "we come to you" now that the weather is getting nice again. I'll absolutely still be using their hose for water, as I'm not inclined to dump a ton of money on a...

    00 Corrolla Reflection shots pt.1

    Looks great! I like to do reflection shots of my 98 Cavalier. They also get no love. It's by no means an awesome car, but it perfect for testing out products and methods.

    designing my detailing business card help

    IMO, Flash is hating on everything I've said in the past 24 hours! Vistaprint works for me. All my stuff matches, is recognizable, and easy to re order. Call it junk of you want, I've had no issues with any of it. Most of my business cards get stuck on bulletin boards, or attached to larger...

    First Paint Correction

    I haven't gotten the 105 and 205 yet, but i was super impressed with the Ultimate Compound. It was easy to use, and did a great job. Aside from being pretty dusty, no complaints. The polish on the other hand, not sure about yet. I'm gonna have to try it a little more before I have an opinion...

    Which Dawn soap to use to strip wax?

    I just used that Dawn power clean yesterday to take off some wax I put on about a month ago. It did a good job, but it was kinda hard to rinse. Also, I had a mess of side all over the floor that was kinda fun to get rid of...

    GG6 (latest) came apart, small shock!

    I guess I'll have to give mine a good looking over. I've used it quite a few times and haven't had any issues, but I guess I better do a little preventative inspection. At least it's got a lifetime on it.

    I like Meguiars cleaner wax; it's never let me down. I think a moat people care quote a bit about their interiors too; it's where you spend most of you time. A decent vac, air compressor, lots of microfiber rags and towels. I use 3 diferent colors of rags for cleaning, dressing, and taking...

    designing my detailing business card help

    I use Vistaprint for my cards, flyers, etc. They have a lot nice layouts you can customize, and the prices are nice too. They're designs really help keep it clean.
