Mine are still like new after a dozen cars. FMINUS - are you tilting the pads at all?

The one thing not to mix is Optimum hyper and Menz 91L Hyper keeps working but the 91L dries up prematurely I'm about to work on a car wash made up from the best quick detailers and a brand of car wash that no one in Australia knows of yet. The first batch was awesome, if you love purple...

My favourites are Fireglaze and Glare with AW or Showroom gold after each wash to keep them looking invisible and slick.

Great topic, this is right up my alley My mixes so far Trim Dream - machine burnish & sealant kit for urethane and other exterior door moldings Burnishes the top layer so fine that the true gloss comes right up from underneath It works great as a first step on wiper arms as well. Lasts for...

What I do depends on whether the customer wants it or not or will pay it. Some say just paint, glass & wheels, others want everything up to and including the tiniest little areas. Most are excellent and know I'm not around to do fleets/dealership detail shop like work but to refinish every...

Industrial wash and wax products for sure are not good Since I don't use waxes on my garage queen, I wouldn't want to use any shampoo with wax in it Shampoo's with gloss enhancing ingredients, conditioner and sealant however I really like Driven's Protective wash with some Duragloss FC&S works...

I can understand people in your typical dealership quality detail shop using gloves with the stuff they have to use but not once have I used gloves Anything that requires me to use gloves, I wouldn't buy and use on vehicles anyway

I go by lack of sheeting (a puddle on the paint), contaminants sticking more than usual and difficulty to clean the car.

Well I've not used much Pinnacle due to high price but XMT is quite reasonably prices in 946ml in Australia and I'm very happy with it on my lower level details where menzerna isn't used. XMT #2 is lovely Almost all shampoo's contain cocoamide (coconut derivative) so I'm not sure about their...

Pakshak's, Detailers Paradise monsters, Sonus and Cobra's are what I've used for three years However I got my first lot of sample towels direct from Microfibre korea in soeul and really love their baby face plush towel (plusher than monsters) Window cloth, heavy stripe (weighs about five times...

Geez boys I thought I was on another detail forum there for a minute Don't give us autopians a bad name either please. He who exalts himself will be humbled Glad you all sorted it out. Anyways my work is different most of the time yes I do the $130 to 165 dollar speed shine jobs with one...

Hey Meghan and the team The other day I visited the store again to finalise a future order and save the page to favourites and when I went to shop by brand as I always do, I was absolutely stunned with the new graphics (metal tins) of all the brand logo's That's some really sharp looking...

thanks guys. it's working out ok at the moment. I'm going to break into the show car scene.

My shop four months ago. The Dream Factory - Detailing World

Each wash - aussie gold showroom glaze (really keeps the just polished slickness and hides swirls for three or so washes I did a test with fireglaze DS last year. used coin op soaps and just rinsed and WW dried for a year and the slickness never left and water sheeted all the time.

Anyone know of a company who make 4 inch wool pads? I am a big user of 4 inch and have had no luck making up some from old 8 inch wool pads A foamed wool and edge black, yellow, green and blue wool pads would be cool. Also, I've got a 1.5 inch LC 4 inch orange pad (first batch they made) Are...

8 inch foam pads in a washing machine isn't really a great idea. Wool pads on the other hand are ok I've got a top loading boss (made in oz) 8kg washer and don't have any trouble with all foam pads from 4 to 7.5 inch but the edge pads can't take it for some reason. LC and Sonus DAS are the...

It would be nice to have all six colours and grades, not just those three Lately Ive begun hand polishing using my 4 inch yellow to blue CCS pads as they provide more power than the german rectangular pads.

What's your opinion of RE5 Mr Porta?

Not all glazes are the same but many are similar. Some have fillers that wash out, others don't wash out at all. I've read that prima amigo is ok under sealants 3M imperial will hide alot but it sure is a PITA to use so I haven't for a decade. I think any with many oils would be fine on SS...
