I'm enjoying the Griots BOSS pads, but they do seem to wear a bit quicker than the LC CCS I was using previously. I like the results better though, so. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. Are the BOSS pads made by B&S? The Uro-Tec look quite similar.

Thought maybe another newbie could learn from my mistake. A friend's mother in law asked me to clean up her headlights and apply some weathertech brand film she had purchased. (As an aside, that stuff is obnoxious. Super thick and obvious.) She had already purchased a kit to do the lights prior...

Holy hell. Did she use the wheel brush? That looks even worse than I'd imaging those brushes would do.

Are Autopia and Autogeek related? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Isn't the green a pretty light pad for use with a compound? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Don't they make grease type crayons just for this purpose? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I've seen that before, it's a great chart. I have to say I have been happy with the UC overall. It's worked great with all the pads I've used it with. I might get some of the Boss correcting cream, it'd be a good way to try that lineup without getting duplicates in cut level to what I already...

It was very easy to tell that I was getting coverage when I sprayed it on the towel. I'd use that or an applicator for sure. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Thanks for the insights all. 105/205 seemed like the natural progression from UC/UP since it's the same base technology in each. I have been really quite happy with the UC/UP combo (though I think the compound is the better product of the two) but I don't like that I can't buy it in bigger...

I agree that for a daily it's better to leave a few defects and the corresponding clear around them than to go for a perfect look that will be ruined of the owner forgets to wax it once. You say you won't use something stronger than UC-does that mean you use UC or do you use something with...

I was listening to Larry's podcast and the thoughts below have been rolling around in my head since. Figured I'd get your guys input. First, current product set: Griot's BOSS Foam White and Orange pads + Ultimate Compound for correcting and Ultimate Polish + BOSS Yellow pad for follow up...

Guz, any updates on your car? It's been a couple of months now. :) I too have been using this as my LSP for quick jobs. I can do a whole midsize sedan with this stuff in like 15 minutes, leaving me more time for correction on any given job. For clients on a budget that's a huge plus. A thought...

I'd like a copy but I don't post my email in public forums. :)

I use N-914 as a drying aid. I chose it because I want to lubricate any dirt that may remain, as well as break the surface tension of the water, without adding any additional "Protection" at that stage. I'd rather do a second wipedown with D156 or another spray wax if I want to add protection.

So, some thoughts. Steam is your friend when you're removing tint. You'll probably have to use some sort of goo-gone to get rid of all the gunk though. be careful removing the tint from the back window not to damage the defroster traces. That hood looks beat. The chrome on the grills is never...

Repaint the panel. Remove all the old paint->reprime->rebasecoat->reclear.

How do you like the Sonax Fallout Remover compared to Iron X and Ferrex? I was choosing between the three for my last detail job and didn't see a lot of info on the Sonax so I tried it. I was happy with it but it went really fast. Does one of the three tend to "go further" per oz or work...

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind for future work. 5000 should be pretty safe as far as wetsanding goes. That said, these droplets were probably too spread out to be effectively removed with any kind of sanding without taking off more of the clear than I would have liked. Pic here...

I think we're on the same team here, just expressing it differently. As far as the Hot Wheels goes, I'd happily make a Walmart run if I ran out of D143 on the job and home was farther away. I'd do my best to avoid that situation, but I woudn't be embarrassed to admit that the product I use is...

No argument here. Buying in bulk is the way to go. My only point was that the only reason to be embarrassed by a customer seeing you with a product is if that product sucks and you should know better.
