Been using IUDJ for the last yr now. It's now my "go to" basic detailing product. IMO it's a great all around product. It's all I use for Maintenance washes, interior touch ups, clay lube, minor to medium wheel and tire cleaning, and final wipe down. There are other "task specific" products that...

In for update as well. I have a Rupes15 and the backing plate gets wicked hot but no black stuff coming off.

I'm also looking for a good detailer in the MB - Murrells Inlet area for a wrecked interior on an Audi. If you know someone or you are that someone please hit me up. It's my car but a friend is taking care of it for me while I'm stationed here in Japan.

This exactly.... my other thought is try to use multiple FRESH CLEAN microfiber towels. As in one towel per panel, wash/wipe in straight lines and never use one side more than once. If you can't dry with a blower then dry with the same technique and use lots of detail spray as a barrier between...

This is why you do test panels with different products and different pads or am I missing something? - as we all should know by now not all paint is the same and there are many variables like temperature, humidity, actual condition of the paint, are you polishing in direct sunlight or the shade...

We use it out here because its compact and with time produces great results. When we get back to the states we are getting a professional steam machine for sure!! But in a pinch the green machine works great.

Not bad at all- what type of DA did you end up with?

Most of the products I use are CG- I know most on AG hate CG, but most of their products work very well for me.

...are you seriously comparing a $20k econo car to a $60k sports car? Talk about apples to oranges. SMH After having 4 STI's the performance is actually pretty good and they are pretty reliable. The interiors weren't that great but I didn't expect them to be. If I drop $60+ k on a car it better...

Because of the high content of synthetic materials that are found in most microfiber towels, they tend to be sensitive to heat and have been known to start to melt in some dryers that produce a lot of heat. This will cause the tips of the fibers to become brittle and hard- exactly what you don't...

I hope you have a speedy recovery.... That's awful to hear about detailing. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't detail- probably go crazy!!

Exactly. OP- This is also why most of my customers pick up and drop off their cars for me. I do occasionally deliver though. What I dread is an accident, most dings or scratches can be fixed for the same amt as a deductible. But if the car rolls or is in some type of severe collision that...

I haven't tried the Rupes but it is on my detailing bucket list. I have however, thanks to Mikes advice, used the 3401 on my last 3 details. What a machine!! My PC is now used for interior duties, headlights and windshields, and tight spots on the exterior, and applying wax. The Flex is far more...

Ditto on "All Free and Clear" plus white Vinegar. - BIG NO on bleach or fabric softeners. And do not dry with heat or high heat.

While I agree you can achieve faster results with other DA's or rotaries I disagree that you can't use the PC to achieve professional results or to use to generate income. I used the PC from 06 to early this yr detailing professionally. Now that I have my 3401 I will use the PC for other things-...

Wet sand, compound, polish, seal.

Garry Dean's products are also made specifically to work in the sun.

My wife has a Subi STI wagon and absolutely loves it:xyxthumbs:

Sure- RS6, AMG, CTSV, or M series are all good with me.

Looks like it was a good sale- I can't wait to get back to the states so I don't get charged shipping......
