    BFWD over Nxt 2.0

    yeah twice. Once over autoglym SRP, then once just buy itself on my dads car. Both times I was really unhappy with the look. Especially on my car after the SRP. My dad also said it didnt seem to last that long. That after a couple washes it didnt seem like there was any shine left. But all...

    BFWD over Nxt 2.0

    From a technical point does this seem doable? Ive always loved the look and ease of application of Nxt but of course we all know the poor durability. So i was wondering since nxt has mild cleaners and filling capabilities if I could put that down first. Then apply BFWD since that seems to have...

    Paste wax removal ?

    I recently started using some paste waxes again. Application is by hand and after removal when in the sun you see wavy hologram images in certain spots. Like when you walk down the side of the car you catch it popping out at you at certain angles. I throughly wiped down the area and its still...

    Claying: Is soapy water just as good as quick detailer?

    Just wondering if soapy water is just as good to use when claying as QD? I remember once I ran out of QD during a job and just used soapy water and it seemed to work out fine. Ill spend the money on the QD if its worth it, if not id rather save it.

    Ive done this years ago to my VW. So i do know what im doing. What do you mean by UV coating? After I finished up with the polish I was going to hit it with some wax. And this is only something I want to do as a side job to earn a couple extra dollars on the weekends. I understand that once I...

    1st detail, how much should I charge?

    local shops $130-$200 and that doesnt include claying. for the headlights im going to wetsand with 600 grit, 2000 grit, then apply 3m rubbing compound, then plastic polish. I guess I could charge $200 being I gotta do the headlights. Maybe ill knock it down to $175 being im trying to line up...

    MF towels no good to clean leather?

    its probably the product not the towel that detroys the leather over time. ive used micro fibers on my cars leather for 10 years with no problems. I also dont use any kind of cleaning solution. Just dampen the towel with warm water and wipe everything down.

    Nxt 2.0 ?

    I always loved the look of NXT but if its going to remove some of the products I just put on then I may hold off. But if I decide to try it I will leave it on for awhile before removing. Ive always just applied it and wiped it right off after a couple minutes. Never had any issue with staining...
