Exactly! That stuff is absolutely nasty and will destroy an LSP in a heartbeat. Spot on! Agree 100% Some great advice from a few of my favorite forum members. This is exactly what I do. When the weather warms up do a good hand wash and add another layer of my favorite carnauba. If...

You have me stumped on this one, LC only shows 4" pads in the Hydro-Tech and CCS. The Hydro-Tech orange is actually tangerine. It has to be those, you would know CCS pads immediately. The tangerine is a polishing pad, the cyan (blue) Hydro-Tech is the cutting pad.

Which pads are they? I think (I haven't looked to verify) the PC kit comes with hydro tech pads. If it is, those aren't orange they are tangerine which is a polishing pad. No reason not to use them, I use 4" pads with my PC (that is all I use on it, I use the larger pads with my Flex), just...

Probably a compound, depends on the agressiveness of it. You can try it in a small inconspicuous area and see what happens. I used BF SRC polish and a white LC CCS pad on mine with great results. I would be hesitant to use the SRC compound, then again, if the polish works, why would I use the...

Re: Craigslist Ads Which goes back to my OP, if you choose to place an add, make sure it is professional. As others have stated, most people on CL are looking for a bargain, but you are proof, that not everyone is looking for ONLY cheap, quality does matter to some. I haven't looked at...

I feel the same way which is why I've never used craigslist or even looked at the adds before. Curiosity got the better of me so I checked them out and my feelings were confirmed. I did find one add that was decent, not good, but decent. Then I found another add in a different town 50...

Looks like it is coming along nicely. Having been around construction my entire life (dad owns a construction company) I typically find many flaws when looking at a job in progress, but so far I really like what I'm seeing. What stands out most to me is the number of outlet and light boxes...

This is a detailing 101 lesson for anyone thinking of or already doing advertising on sites like craigslist. I've heard about people placing adds on craigslist before, have never really looked at any of the adds before. Tonight I decided to see what was out there. What I found: many...

From the images, it appears the orange peel is a bit more than I'm used to seeing on a new car. That doesn't mean it is excessive. The only way to level orange peel is to abrade the surface. You could do it with an aggressive compound and pad, but it will take a lot to see a significant...

Won't use it on paint, but so far it is the best product I have found for removing bugs from a bug shield or a chrome bumper. Also works great for cleaning suspension parts such as upper and lower A frames.

In the past I would have told you to stay away from them after the dealership damaged the vinyl stripes on my wife's camaro (left a dull spot). However, based on recommendations from fellow geeks, against my better judgement, I machined polished them during the last detail I did. They came out...

Very impressive!

For sure! I have a 2011 duramax and can tell you from experience it's a lot of truck. Mine is in great shape and requires only light maintenance, this thing was straight up NASTY! GREAT JOB.

Welcome from southern Illinois

This subject has pretty much been beat to death, to quote a line from Roadhouse, Opinions Vary. The thread also reminds me of this. I have a Flex and a PC, I guess I bought them for the sake of my daughters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEB7WbTTlu4

Not sure if your method is a good method or not. I also have the same concerns as others have stated with the "slapping" action. However, only time will tell. New techniques come about from experimentation. You have a great test bed there, if t works for you, I'd say continue with it. If...

The Jest Skis look great. Yes, any type of detailing will help with experience. I remember when I first stared, gained valuable experience on every job I did, still do. I'm sure you can't wait until Feb/Mar. If you're anything like me, you now notice every little imperfection every time you...

Was kind of thinking the same thing. I have worked on satin vinyl strips before, but never a complete car. Assuming this is a single stage paint???

Any updates on round two yet?

The nice thing about the perforated vinyl, you can have images added. Basically could do your business card on your rear window. Need to check the laws in your state to make sure full window graphics are authorized.
