I thought it was okay to discuss other brands, just not to link to their sites.

Copy that. The only Carnuba wax I have is OTC. I have Kit wax(carnuba) and some mothers that came with my Mothers clay kit, which would you recommend? I am still trying to decide which boutique wax to get, so one of these will have to work for now.

Yes, I hand waxed with some OTC wax, Kit wax i think is what I used. I will rewash and re-do the whole car with the 360 tomorrow, time permitting. Would you recommend random orbit mode or rotary with the Makita 6040? Also, I have LC orange, white, black and wool pads. Should I use the orange...

02CAM, probably a stupid question, what is CG? I have seen it a hundred times but dont remember.

What product are you talking about? I wish you guys would use the proper name of a product at least once in a post. Use acronyms therafter, then newer people will have a chance to know what you are talking about. Not bashing you, just trying to make the forum more useable to everyone. Sorry...

I used a light cutting compound(TW) on my Mazda. The drivers door and front fender were faded and not as shiny as the rest of the car, after applying the compound with my Makita in random orbital mode it was then shiny as the rest of the car. But a couple of weeks later the two panels appear to...

I applied a coat of 360 to my Ram and it looks pretty good. Is it necessary to wax afterwards, or optional? Is it already sufficiently protected? I want to know if wax will add to the looks AND the level of protection.

I agree, but $250 is still way too cheap IMO. I think the typical experienced detailer would be foolish to take on such a job for any less than $500 or so.

I have heard a lot of negative stuff about the purple. Maybe if I could get a free sample I would try it out, but definitely not buying it.

Those arent exactly profanities. I think some boards are over modded, but this one seems pretty fair to me. Given, I have only been here a couple of weeks. It does seem that there are always some over-sensitive types on every board though. People shouldnt take themselves too seriously.

How long did you spend on that monster? Did you buff the whole rig, top to bottom? Awesome job, either way.

Cobra Indigo 6 Inch Microfiber Bonnets!

Is this a personal friend? If it is just someone who knows you detail and asked you to do a job, I would charge much more, whether I was a full time detailer or not. If you spent an honest 25 hours of work doing this, you deserve a lot more than that. $500-$600 seems reasonable. I assure you the...

If thats the same area that was wet sanded, Id say you came out great. At least in the pics, it appears perfect. Is that the case with the naked eye?

Brandon, THE best advice I have ever heard about situations like this is as follows, and it will work. You tell her good luck and if she needs you to call. Then you completely and totally resign yourself to the fact that it is over. Be polite but leave no doubt in her mind that you have accepted...

Therefore. Not to be a spelling nazi, just so you would know.

Can you just post pics of it "as is"?

Where are the pics? I wanna see how this turns out, one of the best threads on any forum ever!!!

I think this is well said. Its easy for people to bash you because you come off as an arrogant know-it-all. Its okay to be a newbie, its okay to learn from others without acting as if you know more. I think that is why people give you a hard time, kind of trying to put you in your place. I hope...

Well?
