You don't have to polish every car! If you can't see the swirls, and the customer can't see them, just a wash and wax (or paint sealant if you offered that to the customer). If you really want to see hard to find swirls you need either the sun, a swirl finder light, some other "point source"...

Yeah I just chose the TF101 because I like the large display so I can see the gauges easily since I mount it in the center of the dashboard. You can also use any Android phone. Most do 720p video and can run torque and track recorder (plugin for torque). To the OP sorry this happened to you...

Wow it leaves behind a soapy film at 1:100 dilution? That's really concentrated then. Thanks for sharing your experience with it.

My TF101 tablet costs the same and has 720p HD but can embed some engine diagnostics in addition. Just mounting is not as easy. Here is a sample vid of it: vid 4 - YouTube

Has anyone used CG citrus wash and gloss with a pressure washer foam cannon like the MTM hydro? I was thinking of switching to that but would like to know how well it foams and cleans.

Well I don't really have a dedicated dash cam. I use a Asus TF101 tablet which attaches to my dashboard and can take video through the windshield with it's on board rear facing camera. With the Torque app I also record engine diagnostics which are embedded right on top of the video (top and...

This is why I have a dash cam. Everyone should.

Do a test section about 2'x2'. Start with the least aggressive product first. Get a PTG (paint thickness gauge) if you can to make sure it's safe to do a correction in the first place.

I've never had a yellow pages ad but even if I had, and it was worth it or not, it might be dependent on area, type of ad, wording, local economy, local demographic (internet savvy vs. non internet users, usually older folks). The point is there are too many variables to know for sure without...

A dime and a quarter. One of them might not be a quarter, but the other one could be. The real question is how much is your 35 cents worth? 35 cents in 2012 is not worth as much as 35 cents in the past. Ah time, the destroyer of worlds.

I usually think about physics, my other hobby. Like how electric fields, and magnetic fields really work. Charged or magnetized particles send out virtual photons in order to transfer energy and produce this force we see send them flying apart. Think of it like this: Suppose you have 2 ice...

Ah, I thought it might be the color. Reminds me of the lime green Lamborghini Gallardos I've seen a lot of. They look really cool in that color. I guess they'd look good in any color!

How is it one of a kind? Just curious. It takes an exceptional car to pull off lime green. It takes an exceptional detailer to detail it. Awesome work.

^holy..! Is my screen melting or is that car... liquid? As for nuba yes because I got 2 cans of DP max wax on bogo a few weeks ago.

Here is Mike Phillips showing how to do a section pass: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q70g83mnTn4]How to do a "Section Pass" with a Porter Cable 7424XP - YouTube[/video]

Sorry, I have no idea. I use a PC7424XP. I don't own a Flex. Here's Junkman2000's video on polisher speed of movement: Polisher Speed of Movement - Part 1 - YouTube

One of the steam games I have, Defense Grid (awesome game btw) requires me to verify integrity of game cache once in a while or else it crashes on startup. Yours may similarly have gotten corrupted and this is all you have to do through steam to get it to work again. Go to your steam library...

I think you meant to say UC followed by UP. Are you cleaning the pads between each panel? Personally I like Menzerna 4000 or 4500 for a fine cut polish. Also pressure and speed play a role in cut aggressiveness. Also the flex being forced rotation it has aggressive cut so you have to be careful...

Good article Sonic, thanks. I've used CG Honeydew snowfoam and CG Maxi Suds II and although I like them both, I've been wanting to try Citrus wash and gloss because of all the rave reviews and I could use something stronger to strip LSPs

What's this stuff dripping down?
