Unfortunately this is very indicative of all types of Car Shows. It seems that most people think that a clean and shiny car with dressed rubber and clean glass is the end all of a quality finish. From local shows to SEMA to the Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance I have seen similar results...

The "blanket answer" could easily be to say 4 or more... but its hard to say. HONESTLY, There is no blanket answer here.. Its actually a quite complicated and intricate thing to determine and almost impossible for an outsider to do so when not knowing all of the variables involved in a...

In this day and age not having a website could, in the minds of consumers, make your business appear amateur VERY quickly... Think about it.. we are at the point where people live their lives online. They do things, JUST to display these actions online.... I agree COMPLETELY that the quality...

9.999/10 issues with paint can be boiled down to procedural rather than product... I would say M105 with a Microfiber Cutting Disc or even Finishing Disc on the DA with medium pressure and slow arm speed (1 inch per second), coulped with 2 rotations of the backing plate per second should...

lol yes bob you are correct. :props: I understand this can be an issue at times, but the OP didn't mention paint thickness as an issue.. I was touching on the core concept of how glazes are used in general since he mentioned them as "mysterious glaze products." So i figured he should know...

I would highly recommend finding and using a dry plush, long nap, and absorbent drying medium over a waffle weave. Preferably in a light color so you may be able to monitor your washing patterns. A longer napped Microfiber towel is much softer and pliable on the surface and, with its added...

The other issue to consider here is: Why use a glaze to temporarily cover up defects when they can be removed all together with paint correction? :buffing: It wont matter if this is for you or a client, after 4-6 washes the wax will start to degrade over time and the swirls that were filled...

Glazes are meant for shine enhancement and defect filling. Any cut involved is a byproduct of the pad its applied on.

Meguiars #40 is super sexy... with a surgically clean tire it is deep and rich with just the most subtle hint of sheen. Perfect for showcasing the wheels and paint!

Or for a much more cost effective alternative and better edging machine (due to less throw) buy a 21 and then dedicate a G110v2 for a 3" machine. It has plenty of power when concentrated to a small 3" pad.

I respectfully disagree 100% and have personally 'revived' and cared for many leather seats with hydration at the forefront of my process and the results are night and day. I would also add that if hydration was not a crucial part of leather care then almost every company who manufactures...

* * * LEATHER CARE * * * Leather requires Hydration more than anything, since it was originally the hide of an organic mammal and a mammal's cells are composed of more than 85% water. * * Quick Note: I have received this information from a few sources over time. One of which was a few very...

:iagree:... this myth is perpetuated ALMOST as much as the one that says, "To strip everything off of a surface use dawn, [DISH] soap." No matter what, some people want to believe that easy mode exists SOOO BADLY that they will deny all evidence and logic and then rationalize that performing...

This is comparing apples to oranges... Full effect removes embedded ferrous particles from the surface, similar to Iron X...D143 is a non acid wheel cleaner that cannot be used on untreated aluminum and powder coated wheels However..... Meguiar's makes the Dub Line - Wheel cleaner which does...

the OP is stressing user friendly... DEFINITELY use Ultimate Compound then.... M101 is THE most agressive compound in the Meg's line.... that isnt necessarily something that will help someone trying to get down their procedures... The MOST IMPORTANT point here is to develop a proper procedure...

GREAT LIST!!! :iagree: but id replace d171 with D170- hyper dressing as it is a variable sheen and a GREAT darkening dressing for wheel wells and such.. Also i would add D143 Non Acid Wheel Cleaner.. Last, but CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, M205 is a MUST have for anyone who wants to experience the...

GSM= grams per square meter... to simply sum it up: it is the amount of material used to make the cloth weave. Effectively it results in the "softness" rating level of the towel [for detailing purposes]. Think of it like thread count in sheets. The higher number the tighter it woven and the...

This isnt a 205 issue because 205 isnt used in a horizontal motion unless its applied by hand. More than likely the culprit is one of the following: A] Towel was not soft enough to address this finicky paint. [recommendation: use BRAND NEW softer towels of at least 350 gsm, however for this...

I would spray it to the current portion of the towel that will be in contact with the paint. For me the key word here is 'aid'.. therefore, i see it as added lubricity for excess water removal from the vehicle's surface. So, if not completely waxing the vehicle, i wouldn't spray it to the...

The color temperature of mid day sun rays is 5578 Kelvin, so effectively ~5600K. I have just (last week) published an article behind the science of how light works and its impact upon elements of correction. It briefly speaks of the current lighting technologies and their application toward...
