Napa is the legit parts store. They carry a lot of stuff you wouldn't expect.

california duster is a freaking night mare, but a necessary evil for me at shows. I figure if the paint has good enough protection it can't be doing to much more damage than a wash mit though. Just let it glide and shake it off after every pass, what else can you do? I prefer it to using a quick...

My show car. One Pass and air dried every time :props:

The 392 trumps all other hemis. I own an 05' hemi ram rumble bee, and I always dream of trading it in for an all white one like from the movie vanishing point.

Why don't you ask them to stock it for you? I have kind of a special relationship with my parts store, but I can't see why you can't make a friend at a store you frequent and ask them if they could order some in, and keep it in stock for you. If you are a pro you could also set up a commercial...

whoa you just blew my mind with that statement, I now need a foam cannon :props:.

Yea, not buffing it.

I was just reading about that product Iron X that Mike did a write up about. Seems perfect for BMW and other euro wheels that tend to get that build up. I had a volvo yesterday that had the same thing, not as bad though. Limpieza llanta Mini con Iron.X - YouTube heres a video on a Mini wheel...

I use the one pass water blade on SHOW CARS with great results. Makes sure you get one with a rubber handle so it can form to the curves of the car. No scratches what so ever, even used on black. It removes the water spots completely, no residual water is left to air dry on the car. I usually...

I don't own a foam cannon, I pretreat with a dilluted APC, wheels/tires/ wheel wells, bugs on the front if any, exhaust tips and inside the fuel door area, then blast with the pressure washer, wash and rinse. If it needs extra attention in certain areas I will hit with the APC again while wet...

Def seal with something like collinite. I used a wax when I did the last paint correction on my black truck, expecting to be able to detail my car often enough that I wouldn't have to worry about protection. Well I missed a couple details on it, and my parking space left some serious sap...

Dam I hate exhaust tips with a passion. If they did not have some type of product applied before any build up baked on its nearly impossible to remove. I'd try a stainless steel razor blade. Try to "shave" it off. IMO getting it to look metallic instead of black is all the customer is after in...

Also interested to hear, PM me if you don't feel comfortable. On a job like that I'd tell them a high ball park hour's figure but charge an hourly rate based on how long it takes me, and always try to charge them less than the estimate. I'm a rookie on the business end of it though. I do full...

Exactly. I've seen pearl white where it didn't match at all, I've also seen it where it matched perfect at one angle and then it was a COMPLETELY different color from another. I've never seen it done perfectly. If you want it to match the whole car will need to be resprayed by someone that...

This is a VERY delicate subject seeing as it is PEARL WHITE. This color will almost NEVER match when resprayed. You need a very serious specialist to get it right. A quick touch up might be a better option than having the entire bumper be a complete shade off. It can also turn out blotchy, and...

I mean for a quick polish / cleaner / wax application I can see an orbital being efficient. (this is what I use it for in production detailing) No need to tape anything off really, just put the product on and buzz away, but for actual correction I don't see how you guys are doing it without a...

That is pretty nifty, if they had a 3" version I'd be more interested right now, seeing as I own a rotary and a DA. It says it tops out at 670 RPM, my rotary starts at like 800. I guess you could have a lot of success with MF pads, but foam would probably have a hard time correcting. I'd pick...

I don't know how taboo it is to post other sites links on here, so forgive me if this is not appropriate, but I'm looking at this dewalt with only a 4.5 gal tank DEWALT D55146 4-1/2-Gallon 200-PSI Hand Carry Compressor with Wheels - Amazon.com and it seems like it flows a similar rate to the 15...

yea of course, that makes sense. I have my eye on a 15 gallon dewalt, the piston in the compressor actually looks like it sits sideways on the unit to begin with, I've never seen one like it. for $350 shipped seems like a deal.

As the title states. I'm looking for a compressor that will lay down flat under my bed cover but has the CFM to run my air polishers (6CFM @ 90 at least) Small pancake compressors can't do this, horizontal's don't fit under the cover, but vertical 15 gallon compressors can do this. and they are...
