    3M Headlight Restoration Kits and High Volume of Vehicles

    the system does work very well. I am not sure about the foam pads but i would certainly buy the sanding discs in 500, 800, 1000, 1500, and 3000. This way you can correct headlights no matter their condition as well as repair scratches. For the foam pad you might consider spot buffs or 3Ms...

    We just made it easier to get a new Flex P14-2-150 Rotary Polisher

    this seems like a great package but for close to $400 ill just buy the 3403 when i decide to get a new rotary. which will likely be soon. in two months or so boat cleaning season begins so im excited.

    Detailing interior of diesel?

    discount it only if its going to be a reoccurring job. if your working yourself out of work then charge it up.

    1910 Pierce-Arrow Model 48 SS 7 passenger Tourer

    Well it looks like we have a very rare opportunity. This car got invited back to amelia island (something that never happens). So right now the car has a long way to go before it ready for one of the most prestigious show fields there is. Sadly the car has to come apart before I can break out...

    Metallic Silver z06 + Pinnacle Signature Series II= Perfect!! *PICS*

    need to try the sig series. maybe if it pops into a BOGO. looks great. i have found for silver that Klasse High Gloss sealant glaze works fantastic. in the future you might want to try two coats of that and then the sig II. oh and one more thing. stop waxing the damn thing and go drive it...

    If you were limited to one company...

    I really use alot of Meguiars stuff. soap, cleaner, compound and polish. I suppose to be true to the thread i would have to say meguiars or griots. they are the only to companies that make everything. otherwise i would likely say Pinnacle or Wolfgang or DP. They seem to all have a strong full...

    DIY paint job. Anyone here ever tried it?

    everything you said was spot on until here. White is the most difficult color of all to match. because even the slightest pigmentation can cause a mis-match. you may think ordering white paint sounds easy. except when you go to do so a good paint shop will ask you if there is a percentage of...

    Acrylic paint sealant??

    I am not sure if it still carries the DuPont brand but they used to sell DuPont branded automotive finishes. I think the might be selling the paints and stuff to other companies as rebrands. I know some recent paints i got the company said it would work with DuPont reducers and such.

    Acrylic paint sealant??

    DuPont a wealthy french family who used to sell gun powder. Now basically makes every chemical and textile you can think of. Teflon, Nomex, ect.. they probably have done more for detailing then we know. the chemicals and such used in detailing is right up their alley.
