    Starting kit for a beginner

    By the pix, looks like you already have some Menzerna products and have started buffing and if your friend did that for you, might want to check to see what he used and start with that as it's it's not that bad of a job. If that's a daily driver, probably a waste of time & paint trying to do...

    What should my detail price range be?

    That's a loaded question. You're worth what you get. There are so many factors involved like the types of cars you're getting. If all you get are daily drivers, then personally $100 to $150 could be way up there and I wouldn't pay it. I'd go to Auto Bell and then correct it before I sold it...

    Residue under tape

    Hate that too. I use the IPA mix and getting ready to get some Mineral Spirits. Sometimes, if it's not around plastic and I'm trying my final step using a finishing pad, I'll take the tape off and let my pad get it when I'm finished with a section and plan to clean the pad before the next...

    Removed scratchs or just filled them

    Do some type of wipe down after working your polish. IPA (Isophoric Alcohol) is one commonly recommended and I use when testing. Usually mix 50/50 IPA & water, spray the section and wipe off. However as you'll see in several posts, it can leave a haze. I've seen Mike recommend in a couple...

    Natural finish for interior vinyl?

    Not that I know of. The seats were just dirty and I spent a lot of time cleaning them. Other than that I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I don't have a ton of experience with leather and went by what I read on the several forums and went with Zaino. Why it was so interesting to...

    How to remove cat piss stain from chome rims

    Did you try Hot Rims Chrome from Meg's? That's fairly powerful. If not, have you tried Meg's Wheel Brightener? First at 4:1 and then pure concentrate? The Hot Rim's Chrome is pretty damn strong but have some nasty stuff that gets brought to me and from research, the Wheel Brightener contains...

    Not Getting the Paint To " Pop"

    You're telling me, I've probably dropped over 3k in 3 weeks chasing this product and that product. Then I see this thread and "have" to order something else. If you check the link out I posted, they actually make pad recommendations. Then pair that up with this link. Learn how to use the...

    Not Getting the Paint To " Pop"

    I'm with you RSurfer on the cut. Here was my last post. "grit & gloss wise 106 is the same as 85RD" I was stating that they are both rated as effective on 2,500 grit scratches and both have a 5 rating on gloss. I had thought someody said use 85 and then 106 to finish in a previous post...

    Natural finish for interior vinyl?

    Just an FYI, I used Zaino in a bottle on a car this weekend. This week the customer/friend called me upset that their leather coat had bled on the seat and asking my why I didn't condition the leather. My response was of course I did and that's expecting quite a lot from a conditioner to...

    That's what I'm trying to clarify. I have the Menzerna products, Power Gloss POS34A, Super Intensive Polish PO83Q as well as Super Finish "Nano" PO106FA. (I might add AG recommended the 106 to finish when I originally made my order.) Menzerna Polishing Compounds Products, menzerna polishes...

    arrg, thought I had found 4. Was going to get them all and share but 66319 turns out to be a different type of thickness gauge. The person at Erie gave me the wrong part number. Oh well, I'll keep looking.
