    Doing an acura tl

    Just try not to get too far ahead of your self. If Adam or I schedule a full detail we tell them it will be at least eight hours. Once you start rushing, quality goes down. Remember, quality before quantity. And I would assume since he hasn't had it detailed, it is going to need some work...

    Doing an acura tl

    Don't speak too soon. I have done many jobs that don't look "too bad" when I first start and then 12 hours later I just step back and say man, that was bad. Honda's are notorious for their cheap, thin paint. The clear will most likely be extremely soft. And like Meghan said, use the Poorboys...

    O.C.Detailing (Lynchburg, VA.) - Black 2008 Mercedes Benz S550

    Yes. We tested two sections side by side on a different black Mercedes and got wayyyy better results from Surbuf+105+Griot's DA. I'm not saying that every DA will get these results, but the Griot's seems to be able to take out just about anything. The 10x10 was just during the compounding...

    Sur buf Pads,, how long do they last?

    Apples and oranges.....seriously. The ONLY place I will use a yellow is around edges and emblems to save my Surbuf pads. Yes it will take me between three and six passes more than if I were using Surbuf, but the Surbuf pads make up that time on the flat panels. Edit: I started with a flat...

    Sur buf Pads,, how long do they last?

    Yes, you still need to come back with foam and polish. On most paints, 205 and white finishes off pretty well. I have found a new obsession in true finishing polishes like 85rd and Ultrafina and will turn to these, for a four step, if the customer is paying a lot. Most of the time after using...

    Sur buf Pads,, how long do they last?

    I have used them on a lot of cars and found that if you use them solely on flat panels then they last a lot longer. Once you start buffing over emblems and trim pieces or any hard lines in the body they start to separate (microfingers from the foam). Give them a try and see how you like them...

    O.C.Detailing (Lynchburg, VA.) - Black 2008 Mercedes Benz S550

    And as far as using the Surbuf pads. Whole different story from foam. Adam came up with it and it took me a while, and I mean a while, to catch on. 1. Smaller Sections. 10x10 max 2. Lighter Pressure. Let the fingers and the product do the work. 3. Move Quickly. 105 dusts enough as it is but...

    New Business Card Design for O.C.Detailing (Lynchburg, VA.) Opinions?

    The R8 is a lot like the GTR on the current card. How many are you going to detail? Granted, most of the cars you/we do are kind of plain Jane BMW's or Mercedes and neither one really scream at you. If only there were a sexy BMW....... *scratches head* <----------- Oh yeah!!!! Check out...
