    Headlight restoration w/Meguiars professional kit

    I've used this kit and it worked awesome. Would def buy it again if needed in the future. I was going to post my picture of before and after but I don't have it on my phone anymore.

    Wax flying everywhere help

    After you apply the product to the pad after the initial prime, set the pad on the paint and smear the product onto the paint in the area you will be working before turning the machine on. Move back up to where you set it down initially and turn it on. That's what I do and never have an issue.

    I need help please

    I would get some thin painters tape to put over it as a precaution. Why risk messing it up. I wouldn't even consider taking it off and putting a new one on unless you're damn good at pin striping. Beings that it is a bike and not a car I would attempt to compound by hand to see how soft the...

    Foam cannon process preference

    Usually 3 for me but add the two bucket as well. Used a little more soap but gets the vehicle nice and clean.

    Finally going to get a chance to wash my truck this weekend.

    Need to do the same with mine. Mine gets the occasional touch less or coin op to get the crap off. It needs a good cleaning and a coat of sealant on it too. Just quit my second job this last Sunday so hopefully going to get some free time now.

    whats the next step

    Unfortunately you paid for a half a** detail from a detailer. In a weekend you could do better on both vehicles even starting out. But like said above, get some good products for the wash procedure and start doing some reading on different threads here for different techniques. I'm no pro, but a...

    The wax look cant be faked!

    ^ Agreed. I've never been able to put on a high dollar wax either and have gotten into the sealants that last a lot longer. The most expensive wax I've ever applied would be Meg's Gold Class. That has always been a top line to me. I've never had a garage queen that the $60 Souveran would be...

    Started My Garage Rehab!

    False. Different cities require different thing. It is not an NEC requirement. If you were running single strand (THHN) then conduit is required. In residential is where different cities can require different things. For example, I'm in Council Bluffs, IA across the river from Omaha. CB allows...

    The wax look cant be faked!

    I read about popping the paste out of the jar. I tried it with some Meg's UPW but it fell apart. That's my only concern. Any tips or tricks to doing this?

    The wax look cant be faked!

    Totally agree with all said. I have not personally tried Souveran...YET! I was looking at it though and saw that here is a paste and a liquid. What does everyone prefer? I like the idea of the liquid because I've become lazy now that I have my PC lol. I'm not opposed to the paste though, just...

    Older vehicle for mobile

    Age doesn't matter as long as it's taken care of. I personally would turn a detailer away if they showed up in a beat up vehicle that looked like sh*t. I'm in the service industry (electrician) and we take great pride in our service trucks. They're usually clean (weather permitting) and always...

    Which brand is forbidden to be spoken around you?

    None really. If it works and doesn't cost me a fortune to be happy with I then it's a win. I use mainly Meg's but I'll try other stuff too if it looks promising.

    Save big money at menards

    Might have to pick one up. I've worked there for 9 years now. An extra 10% with my employee discount will be nice lol :). Thanks for sharing.

    During the winter...

    If the roads are still crappy I'll just spray it off. Sometimes with soap sometimes without. Soap alone doesn't always get a lot off and leaves a film (like said above). If roads are decent then it's a full wash and dry.

    Porter Cable 7424 xp extension cord

    Very good point. And beings that the PC 7424 only pulls 4.5 amps. A 20 amp rated cord is overkill anyway. But I agree if you only have 15A circuits in the garage then there would be no point to get a bigger cord because it won't benefit you.
