I've also done some correction with XMT360. Also leaves a nice glossy finish.

I always go to Optimum products for customers' cars. Easy to work with, good work in time, and economical. I've used the SSR stuff and didn't like the dusting.

I looked at the cheap ones too, but was fortunate enough to do a couple details and picked up a Metabo. I chose the Metabo because I'm not a big person and couldn't hold the weight of the Makita, DeWalt, and Toshiba. Like many others have said, brand name rotaries can be had for about $100...

I've used both and find that the sea sponge holds alot more water than the mitt and is alot faster to wash a car than the mitt. Although it uses alot more water, it is very easy to work with and keeps the paint very wet and lubricated. Like FMINUS pointed out, it does great with fine dust and...

How do you expect any help when you don't even know what the problem is? What exactly did you do? Used a pc w/ CCS and Edge pads. Which one did you use first? XMT1 on white CCS, orange edge, and you THINK,XMT1 on ultra fine polishing pad. 3 pads? What speed did you use? Then, you QDd 3...

Welcome aboard odysseus! I'm sure you'll learn alot from this site and also find that there actually are people that use NXT. It's not about the products, its more about the prep and how the paint is prepared. Use the search feature and you'll probably find most of the answers to your...

Agreed you don't need to clay it again. If you completed the XMT#2 stage last week, then just wash and continue from there. I don't think its necessary to polish again. Hope you're feeling better.

When I bought my 7336, it didn't come with a pad or a backing plate. So I'd have to ask the same question as Gary, where did you buy it from? Might also help to post a pic of the pad.

Is that window tinted?

How did you come up with $250? If you came up with the number and you think that's fair, I think that's all that matters. As a beginner, I did the same, $60 for a full car detail, as I only wanted the experience and to build a customer base. Now I'm up to $80-100+ and still think I can charge...

I've been using CG stuff (Silk Shine, VRT), but find myself going back to 303 AP on my own cars.

I don't thnk they'll look good. They look better on a sedan. BTW, I got a G sedan!!! :D:p J/k, I'm sure they'll look great! If not, hey it's the thought that counts right!

I don't thnk you could go wrong with Klasse, DG, or Collinite. I think generally, a polymer sealant like Duragloss or Klasse will last longer than any wax. But, Collinite does actually last pretty long for a wax. I've used 845 liquid and have heard great things about 915, so I'm sure you'll...

If you call yourself a "pro" because you got paid to detail, you should give the money back and show your customers how much of a "pro" you are with your sand job. While we're on your profile subject, in another post, you said you've been driving for 2 years now. So you started driving when...

This is hillarious! If 99 out of 100 people tell him to stop using the sand paper, what do you think he's going to do. After all, he IS 1% of the population :o Keep at it. You're going to eventally get it. Keep practicing on your beautiful Bimmer. I mean, you've done enough damage already...

Welcome to the forums! Glad to hear you got some positive results. I bought the same kit and love it. XMT line works great, doesn't it. and yeah, let's see some pics!

Good call. You should get some Langka before attempting to use wetsand paper. :awesome:Im the MAN Oops, too late!!! BTW, nice to see you back :rolleyes:

Yup, I hate it too. Unless customers ask for it, I won't offer it.

Awesome! You should get some added depth from PS or P21S then. I have CG Petes 53 on mine and I also top it off with Aquawax.

Yeah, i'd like to see the Afters, but don't keep us waiting for another 6 months!:p
