I never understood that either.

Decided to strip the car down since I was needing to do some correction on the top of the car and wanted to try some other new LSPs on the car. Car is a 00 Honda Accord with 208k on the odometer. 2 Layers of Collinite 845 on top of 2 layers of BFWD. The last layer of 845 was applied about 2...

Have you guys seen the other videos? There is another video down the line when this video ends and he shows how you to "polish" a car. I can't believe these people call themselves "professionals"

Speedy Prep Towel - I don't think I am going to touch my clay bar again! Menzerna SF4500 - A must for finishing down black paint Meguiars M101 - Cuts and finishes down better then any of the aggressive compounds I have used. Collinite waxes - Decent looks, and most important to me, it's...

Broken in correctly, the towel does not mar. Plus most people that clay will also follow with a cutting step of some kind. Clay also mar the paint as well depending on the grade.

As always nice job! I have a V coming in next week and it's in similar condition.

IMO, it's not that great of an idea to base your rate off of someone elses rate. There are a lot of things to consider. How much is this other detailer making profit? Does it line up with your business plan? Does he do the same services and use the same products as you? How does your work...

Claying a car down will be a thing of the past in the next couple of years.

Trust me, in terms of money, detailing supplies and gear is cheap.

I estimate how long it's going to take me depending on the severity of the car, and what the customer wants done and multiply that by my hourly rate. Usually they will not ask you how much an hour, they are just concerned with the bottom dollar.

I have had both Megs and Optimum MF separate from the foam backing pad on me. The Optimum did it in less then a whole panel. Sent it back and still waiting to here back from Optimum if I am going to get a replacement. The Megs lasted half a car before the middle started to come apart. I...

Your right it was Urano Gray. The CC's do have a very hard clear. When I was doing some test spots with the MF system the first pass came out very well. Then did a second section very fast with the MF system and it just didn't look the same. I tried another MF pad with M101 with a fast...

After getting the Speedy Prep Towel, I haven't broken out the clay bar. It's way faster!

Been trying to schedule this car for months. With my busy work schedule and the client schedule of working at night and weekends it was almost impossible to set some time to do this car. The CC has never been detailed. Just your normal 50k mile car that has it's weekly wash at the drive...

I have tried using faster arm speed with the MF system and it doesn't work that well.Work the pad slow on speed 4 or 5 and it should be able to cut pretty well. My combo right now is the MF cutting pad with D300 and M101 with Surbuf for the RIDS. Still have to finish it down with the D300...

I would but I might offend someone and get banned... Hence the pic of the 1911 was taken off my avatar. lol

Guns and photography.

I've had Rain X blades on my Accord for 3 years and they are still going strong.

+1 Personally, I have never been a fan of silver and white cars. To me those colors just do not pop when they are cleaned.

Ran another test tonight. On a full charge, trigger locked on the On position with both beams lit, it was useless within 45 minutes, at 50 minutes it was dead. Most of my correction work is done with halogen work lamps though. I usually have it at the end of the cars to better pick up swirls...
