    What is the deal on "swirl Lights"?

    In my experience (not as much as others here) you want a light with a small, singular source of light. You do not want a flashlight that has a reflector in it, otherwise you're getting the light and reflected light and it isn't very good. The best ones that I've found are the outdoor...

    Detailing on a dime

    To be fair 3D/HD is a pretty well known brand (as far as I know). And Chemical Guys is pretty good at branding products that they themselves don't produce.

    The infamous question: "How much do you charge for a detail?"

    I have my services set up so that there's a 'base' package that starts at $45 for the inside, and $45 for the outside. (up to $60 for each in case of Suburbans, Excursions, etc.). So first I ask if it's inside or outside. If outside I let them know that my base package includes a hand wash...

    order issue

    I've made three orders and two of them had back orders - which isn't a huge deal just kind of disappointing when the web store says the items are in stock

    collinite 845. gone in 2 weeks

    Collonite can be used very sparingly. However - I believe that dish soaps such as palmolive leave a film on top of the paint that would have prevented the Collonite from actually making contact with the paint. Plus it the roof might just be dirty in which case it won't bead even with...

    Clay marring paint but client on wants AIO

    You've gotta use an iron removing product, such as Iron X. Just spray it on these spots let it sit for a few minutes then rinse it off. This will remove a majority of the iron deposits that are causing the rust spots as well as a majority of the rust. Or you could try TriX I think it is? It's a...

    Newbie Tornador question

    Oh yeah it's awesome. Door jambs, carpets, tires, seats, door pockets, vents. Even without product it blows a lot of dirt out of a carpet - makes cleaning take a little longer BUT it cleans so much better. I've used a lot of stuff through it and the main thin g you've gotta be careful about is...

    swirls or sand paper marks?

    I'd ask the guy about it first - he should be able to properly finish it for you.

    I should have ordered mine sooner! :doh: I ordered it towards the end of the pre-order period and got an e-mail letting me know it's temporarily on back order for a few days :(

    Griot's Garage DA vibration too much, now what?

    I have found that the more firm of a grip you try to maintain the worse the vibration is on your joints. You've gotta let the machine move around a little and ensure that the pad is centered on the backing plate (if you weren't already). I use a loose grip but maintain downwards pressure on...

    Opinion on clay bars, clay lube, wax, tire?

    I use Griot's Garage clay and Optimum No Rinse as clay lube. If you're impressed with Collonite but would like a longer time between application you might try Collonite 845.

    Buzz Bombs

    I'm not completely sure on this but from what I've read I believe that once this type of contamination has dried and sat in the sun for a day it's done as much damage as it's going to do - so letting it sit for a few more days won't do more damage. Unfortunately I don't have a source on hand...

    What's the best way to dry ONR?

    If you'll be blotting to dry I'd recommend using distilled water to avoid any water spots.

    Are these the signs a of proper coating?

    I would ask the detailer what type of coating they applied. My personal car is coated with CQuartz and: 1) I've found it does accumulate salt but at a slower rate 2) Just a normal two bucket wash is all it takes to restore it to the same look the day I applied it (it has been a little over 2...
