    Thoughts on Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine

    You don't NEED to use distilled, but I also use distilled when making QD and clay lube.

    need help quick, in the middle of a detail menzerna drying way way too fast..help

    If you don't feel you should be doing anything (RMG, water spritz, less product), why are you asking for help. Here's a tip, DON'T USE IT!!! Go back and use the stuff that you know will work. Have you done any searches on the forums for others with the same problem, if there are any?

    Who plays ball?

    Yup, I play almost all year round here. Jan-June is 1 league, April-July is another, and Mar-Nov is our longest league. Got a Miken Freak (100), DeMarini 375 (for mush balls), and a Worth Mayhem (Jeff Hall edition) in my bag.

    Which device is right?

    The Festool RO150FEQ will give you both RO and Rotary modes. So if you only have "permission" to buy 1 tool, might as well get the best of both worlds. Just note that the rotary mode only goes up to 600rpms, normal rotary goes up to 2-3000rpms. But, indeed does correct faster than RO mode...

    So what Menzerna polishes do you use right now. Since you haven't received your 106 and IP?

    PC/UDM + Menz SIP + No clear coat = ???

    1) check with the manufacturer 2) Get a paint thickness gauge (if it reads 0, then you got no cc) 3) Do a search on AGO on your car and see what comes up 4) AFTER DOING A SEARCH, make a new thread and post your car's year, make, model, and color and see what people say. Hope that helps.

    exciting future!

    Pretty hard to improve on the work that you do, but who knows! Good luck on the week ahead and your future detail hub. But you still have to bring them back to your place and take pictures on the waterfront! :awesome:

    Compounding/Polishing with out Claying??

    What else was done to the car? If you clayed a month ago, did you polish too? Or did you just wash, clay, and wax? If you polished a month ago as well, do you really need to polish again? As far as claying after a month, I don't think you need to. As D&D suggested, I too, would only clay...

    Question regarding rock chip on hood. Help!

    Langka has worked for me. I actually used it for the 1st time a couple weeks ago and the chips disappeared right in front of me. Just left some light scratches, polished away, and couldn't see the chip at all.

    Colgate’s new winterfresh ingredient? Why antifreeze of course…

    Just don't buy your Colgate toothpaste from the local 99cent or even the dollar store, where the fake stuff was found.

    I-Phone.. Did anyone get one at launch?

    I got to "touchy feely" and was not a good experience at all. Why??? Because now I WANT ONE!!! It was pretty awesome, as easy as the commercials, scrolling by finger, turn it on the side and voila, portrait to landscape/wisescreen instantly! And, if anyone is wondering, yes, you can buy...

    I want to get a rotary but im scared

    Very nice write-up. I haven't tried the UDM, but was fortunate to try out the Festool Rotex and found the same results. To add to that, the Festool doesn't have the "clanging" metal sound and doesn't bog down when pressure is added. I liked it so much, I actually bought one and am trying to...

    Greetings From Hawaii And Pics

    Those people in Hawaii treat Americans like sh!t, huh? I must take offense to that comment, being from Hawaii. I tend to believe we treat people based on how we are treated. BTW, do you know what the 50th state of the United States of America is??? :(

    I want to get a rotary but im scared

    I would agree with Nica, buy and watch the Joy of Driving. The first time I used the rotary, it skipped & jumped like a flea on a dogs back. After watching the video, I was able to handle and maneuver the Metabo with 1 hand. Especially liked the polish "lines".

    is it okay to use the nano polish on any finish?

    If you think the 106FF is too abrasive, DON'T USE IT!!! Why don't you post some findings for others to see as well. Then, if you have problems, others can chime in and HELP you with your techniques, procedures, etc. Your profile also lists you as a PRO DETAILER. Why don't you share some...

    BMW hit on the way home

    Main thing is that you're ok. Just make sure your shoulder gets checked and her insurance covers everything. I'm not one to say "get a lawyer" off the bat, but if insurance gives you a hard time, go for it. I've been following your great work and threads and just noticed that your car was...
