I could be wrong, but from what I have heard from others on here...if the paint comes off on the pad, then its single stage

Yes, I agree they are chore to detail. I did a Jeep Commander a few months ago, wasnt fun at all !! Alot of textured like plastic on the inside...hard to clean. Post some pics if ya can Jon, so we can check out your new wheels

Oh and of course 2 cases of beer on ice !!!!

Sounds good..thanks. Good luck. Unfortunately, I live down here in south Louisiana, so we are getting ready for Hurrican Bonnie, so needless to say, I wont be doing any detailing for the next few days. But hey..I got plenty of gas for my generator and 10 cases of water...so Bring it on Bonnie !!!

A buddy of mine has an early 1970's model buick, that he wants me to polish and wax. Anyone have input on which is the better polish for single stage paint? Thanks

I agree...you should definately consider purchasing a PC. It is well worth the money...and doesnt leave your arms feeling like spagetti after the end of the day.

I hear ya !!! But really, it wont be that bad, its only a 4 car train. They are about 5ft. long and 4ft. high. They are faded real bad from the weather. Makes for a great conversation though doesnt it !

Cool...thanks for the advice. Probably will start on them next week. Now one day I can tell my grandkids I polished and waxed a train !!!

I have a customer that has a small childrens motorized train that he rents out for b-day parties. The cars are made out of fiberglass..does anyone have any suggestions or advice on polishing just fiberglass? Can I use the same polishes that I use on automobiles?

I completely agree with you clm. I started doing some small time detailing for friends and family, about 1 1/2 yrs. ago, and pretty much 99% of what I learned about detailing, came from this forum. There are so many people on here with tons of knowledge and willing to share it. Like you, my...

Yes...this makes me sick. You know the old saying..you cant fix stupid!

Welcome...yes , this is a great site. I have learned so much from everyone in here. I am from La...but was up in Memphis just last week. Unfortunately my mother in law was in the hospital there.

Morning everyone. Which polishes you guys recommend that are true cut polishes, and actually remove minor scratches and swirls, instead of just temp. covering them up? Thanks

Count me in..I'll give it a test !!!

Hi guys...just came across this thread. i am still pretty new to detailing. Could any of you explain exactly the difference between diminishing and non-diminshing abrasives. And, is there a thread that might suggest, which polishes are best for different types of vehicles. I read that one of...

I agree, it seems to get good results, but man , I think it would take a good bit longer than with a DA or rotary. But hey, its good to know in case my DA ever breaks down, I can use my drill as a back up !! Sometimes ya gotta compromise.

I started out the with pc7424, and just recently bought the flex3401. I love them both, they are a great combo to have, and very easy to use and handle.

Just bought a new steamer, is it safe to use it on leather seats?

No..i dont have an extractor. I will give it a try just using the steamer at this point. Thanks for the tip
