    What are the pros/cons of "low profile" polishing pads?

    I can't offer any experience as my first "low pro's" are still on their way. I thought a lot about them before I purchased, and the only negative I could foresee is having to re-learn the pressure you apply as you have less "cushion". I suspect the reason for less stalling that most see has...

    What should I do?! Need new car advice!

    Welcome to AGO!! I am with the masses, I suggest staying away from the dealer. Remember that dealers are "high turn" shops, meaning they are trying to get things done fast, not right. Although there are some good detailers at dealerships generally speaking detailers at dealers are not paid...

    On the hunt for a new car wash soap.

    Meguiar's Hyper Wash. I used a lot of Gold Class as well, but like you mentioned had to use a lot of it. Hyper Wash seems much more concentrated.

    Cleaning Crevices

    I have not stepped into the waterless/rinse less wash scene myself (although WG Uber is on it's way), but all of the above suggestions seem they would work. I've also seen popsicle sticks used to push microfiber into these crevices. If you aren't already doing it, open all doors, hoods...

    Mobile detailer or mobile car washer?

    And that folks is the difference between a Pro and a has been. The has been spent 30 minutes typing his thoughts, the pro spent 2 minutes posting some pictures to prove the same point.

    Mobile detailer or mobile car washer?

    I respectfully disagree with this. IMO the heart of detailing is correcting both whatever it is the client is concerned about, and all the DETAILS that the client doesn't even realize makes the vehicle "pop". I know paint correction is perhaps the most glamorous to many, but I think calling...

    Whats your weakness?

    I have always had a thing for/struggled with exterior trim (tires excluded). It deteriorates as fast as tires, but don't get replaced. Finding the right combination of sheen, conditioning and protection was always a challenge for me (thankfully from all of your recommendations I think I found...

    Pressure washer vs. Regular sprayer

    I love my pressure washer and prefer using it. I don't find the 2 minutes it takes to wheel out, hook up and pull start much of an inconvenience. 1. For lightly soiled or dirty vehicles, a pressure washer, foam cannon & blower can be a true "hands off" the paint wash. This is important for...

    Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash has made a believer out of me

    Thanks, but I was looking more for opinions on it's functionality as a clay lube(or Nanoskin to be more specific).

    No sheeting, but lots of beading?

    My thoughts.. Beading = Hydrophobic properties - sufficient gravity to roll Sheeting = Hydrophobic properties + sufficient gravity to roll In other words the same thing Bob said haha. Without knowing where you are from, the weather, driving and parking conditions of the vehicle, for about...

    Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash has made a believer out of me

    You all about have me sold on Uber, and I don't mean for a ride to warmer weather. I love the advertised versatility of this. Couple of questions: 1. Can anyone speak to its use as a clay lube? How does it compare to a Meg's 34 Final Inspection/Glide/insert your favorite clay lube here ...

    Please Be Kind - I'm Stressed Enough

    I don't find M105 finicky at all. I've seen a lot of folks mention the dusting, but IMO the dust is a minor considerations in comparison to it's effectiveness. This may speak more to my lack of experience with many other compounds, but I have not found a reason to move away from the 105+205...

    Carpro Perl - 1st use, quik review

    Good review. I have not tried PERL as an exterior option, however it has become my new favorite interior diluted about 1:5. Please let us know how it holds up as a tire dressing.

    First post, much confusion...where to start?

    If you are that pressed for time it may be worth checking around or seeing what your friend would charge for maintenance washing. I have always said that doing your own detailing is not necessarily the most economical decision. Most of us do our own because we love doing it, not because it...

    First post, much confusion...where to start?

    First welcome to the forum! Congrats on the new purchase. Second is I could not agree with Setec more about defining the standard of "Professional Detailers". I was a professional detailer and detailed 5-20 cars a day (not solo of course)in a large high volume "detail" shop. I can tell you...
