    5" backing plate on the lhr21 mark 2

    Hey guys can you still put a 5" backing plate on the lhr21 mark 2? I want to try this out since I have a mark 1 15 and a mark 2 21. But the set screw plate is smaller on the mark 1 15. It's not just plug and play like I've read many times? Do I need to purchase a new mark 2 15 plate to fit the...

    Critique my pricing system!

    This sounds like one of those, I can 3 stage a car and complete interior in 15 hours. Set your self apart from the rest. And do high end quality work for the correct pricing. Also if your using quality products your not leaving your self with much. You also have to add up running costs...

    I give up

    I do actually mean SMAT. I personally feel that you do need to work it to a certain point before you can stop. If you do 2 section passes you haven't allow the product to correct its own haze and "possible holograms" yet. Understand what I'm saying. Ex. If you work 105 right is almost...

    I give up

    Maybe stop trying such aggreesive products. Try a black pad and some 106fa/sf4000. Ive used 205 on a black to clean up corvette clear which is notoriously hardwith great results. So not sure why 205 is not working for you. Again use some DAT finishing polishes on a black pad. Try a new test area...

    First video - need some feedback

    Pretty good video. To me it doesn't necessarily need to be shorten, but cleaned up. Defiantly work on some smoother camera work. Also work on some smoother transitions. Like that star pattern from scene to scene kind of cheesey. All in all not bad, also car looked pretty good. ex. search for...

    Do you believe a vehicle can be too dirty for a waterless / rinse less / quick detail wash etc

    First, it depends what "dirty" means to you. To ME, and this will not be the same for you or everyone else, "dirty" means anything that is caked on. IF dirt is beyond the point that I believe I cannot remove it with one gently wipe of waterless wash I wont use it. It takes tens of hours to...

    04 C230 customer want no correction but i just did a full correction

    Note, always tell a customer you give a freebie to, to not tell anyone of the pricing. Or the next guy will expect you to be as nice to him, and then that could be worse turning people away. Personal experience, helped out a young guy who just honestly could not afford my full service. (kinda...

    carpro eraser vs menzerna top inspection

    Well said, I am personally not sold on any of the post polishing "cleaner" products. I don't mind doing a few extra passes with ipa. I know mike had an article about the danger of ipa at 100% but I personally use it stronger then the most common 10-20% mixture. I use closer to 30%. After I do...

    Burnt Paint

    Sounds about right. To repair a moderate door ding and repaint the area and flare it out properly at a well known quality painter I got quoted $800. (One full door and blend into the adjacent panels)

    Thumbs Down on LC HT Pads

    I've never heard or even seen of a thread with this much negativity toeards LC. I think they are premium quality and I have zero complaints about LC. I haven't used LC micros because I have been happy with the megs micros since the system came out so I can't offer my opinion. Maybe my only issue...

    Work van detail questions???

    If its a close Bro in law and you have a good relatioship with him then i understand where your coming from. Some people (actually alot) dont understand proper detailing and actually beleive at 3-400 for a light polish is a total rip off, because they see the $40 wash/polish/wax signs. Well...
