    Heaviest Cut Compound?

    I've seen this in some pictures and videos but haven't actually considered wet sanding the really beat up vehicles. Maybe I'll have to make a thread about that. I'll just threadjack my own thread haha. Who here does wetsanding regularly as part of the correction process? Does this take off more...

    Heaviest Cut Compound?

    I feel like the Autopia comparison chart could use an update. I'm looking for a new compound for heavy cutting duty and it's hard to discern similar products. I've been using Menzerna for a while and I love FG400 and SF4000. I also use SHCC300 on a regular basis (I see some pretty hammered...

    Share your best business card design tip?

    From my experience (I handed out 2000 business cards last year) the "list of services" on the back doesn't make a lick of difference. With my new business card I decided to put social media logos on the back to push people to follow me, there isn't really any way to track this but I felt it...

    Webiste Revamping

    :whs: And give some thought to this excerpt from Think And Grow Rich; "One of Henry Ford's most outstanding qualities is his habit of reaching decisions quickly and definitely, and changing them slowly."

    What's your combo/ technique to remove micro marring?

    Unfortunately there isn't just one magic fix-all... That's why there are so many different polishes and pads so similar to each other. I've fallen in love with the Menzerna system and Lake Country pads (hybrid for 3401 and HD Orbital for Rupes)

    RaceDeck updated slip test video (non-dramatic)

    When I start doing wheels-off details I'll get the arms for this in-ground hoist from my landlord. For now it'll be hidden under my beautiful floor ;)

    HydrO2 Quick Test Video

    The paint doesn't need to be free of defects. Many <1 year old car owners just want them protected. Swirl vs Squirrel In this video I'm just using it to seal the trim before doing a mild correction and coating the paint. I don't have enough experience to answer the bonding question. Yes, I love...

    How to Fix RaceDeck Free Flow Slippery Tiles

    Haha people can think that if they want to... and I'm sure there will be plenty... But I spent 20 minutes scrubbing the bottoms of shoes just to prove my point. Didn't scrub the tiles though, that was fresh out of the box.

    RaceDeck updated slip test video (non-dramatic)

    @swanicyouth My shop is only used for detailing and after sanding the tiles they offer plenty of traction. And carts/stools roll perfectly fine over them. They make my shop really clean and attractive to high-end clientele. The floor paint in my shop was peeling up and the surface is full of...

    Gas leaf blower?? Any experience with 1?

    I use this one GreenWorks Pro Cordless Leaf Blower Battery charges in a half hour and I can dry 2-3 vehicles or blow my entire 3000sq ft parking lot with it on one charge. It's comparable to a smaller gas blower. I've thought about modding the blower tube to a smaller tip (more velocity?) but I...

    How to Fix RaceDeck Free Flow Slippery Tiles

    I've already stated that the statement you're referring to was sarcasm and unfortunately there isn't a sarcasm translator on the forum. I figured parentheses would be enough but apparently not. How would you suggest I perform a test that is not subject to "acting"? I'm thinking this may be...
