Emile, Please explain what is an interesting theory? I'm confused by your statement. Do you agree or disagree with what I posted? Derrick

I should have made my point clearer. Smoking does cause lung damage but if you stop smoking, your health can and in most cases does improve. Not totally, but some. You can smoke for a decade, then stop and live a very long and productive life, whereas you can use the wrong polishing compounds...

OGauge4Me, I use a medium sized respirator which fits nice and tight from 3M. There are no leaks. Mine is the 7182. The 7183, the large size, was too loose and would let air in. I couldn't use that one. Derrick

Eliran, First get a respirator and goggles then get an oximeter to measure your blood's oxygen saturation level. Remember to change the respirator's filter often. Derrick

That's not totally true. You can smoke for years and decrease your lung capacity ,but if you stop smoking your lungs will start to heal. The coating of soot that's on them will start to dissipate which will allow the cells to once again transfer oxygen to the body. On the other hand...

AG if this thread is informative enough please make this a sticky. Derrick

Detailing with this suit in the summertime in Texas would be like baking a potato.

I have a mask, goggles, and hearing protection. I got hit twice in my detailing career by dust and that's when I said "It's not happening again!" Both times it happened when I was trying out a new product. Non dusting polishes are the best and safest polishes out there. They may take longer to...

Forgive the title but it is time to talk about a subject that should have been discussed long ago and should be a continued topic throughout your detailing career. Auto detailing, depending on the process, can be dangerous! You may be thinking ‘This guy is crazy!’ I assure you, I am not...

Loudog2, I am going to have to reword the service page to make room to increase the font size or I will make a link to a printable pdf file with all the services listed. I think that will work. Smalltrees, Thanks for the info. I will change the front page after I open. It will be a car that...

Click on my name then click "Visit Derrick's homepage!" Please let me know what you think. Thanks Again, Derrick

Guys, I did some work on my website by using many of you all suggestions. Let me know what I can do to improve the site. I am looking to open a fixed location detailing shop in a week or two. Let me know what you think. Thanks for all the help, Derrick

I don't recommend it. I was told it has teflon in the chemistry which affects repainting the car if you need it to be repainted ie. car gets in a wreck or something like that. I use another version of 5 SS that does not have teflon so it's more body shop friendly, but it is expensive. Derrick

It might work. 105 finishes so nicely all that is needed is a finishing polish. To me Optimum Finishing polish has more cut than 3M Ultrafina, so it might work. Derrick

Megan does it work on aluminum? Thanks, Derrick

I thought the new optimum polish has better cutting ability? Derrick

Did you Shake it thoroughly? You have to mix the product before using it. This is very important because most sealants tend to separate over time. I have not used NXT 2.0 but the Meguiar's waxes I have tell you to 'shake well' before using them. Derrick
