yeah I think some people lose the meaning of what xmas is all about. It is not about getting my wife an Ipad. We decided this is the time of the year to give to other people because the other 11 months we are pretty self involved. We have been adopting local family in need for xmas. We enjoy...

Well said. I will admit...I was a lurker.

Great idea!

The only people that get presents in our family on XMAS are the children. Now all I want is a relaxing few days off from work at Xmas spent with family. Enjoy folks. PS - If Santa is out there I will take a Rupe Mini...kthxbye.

The garage (facility) is hard to get to nowadays...just had my 2nd girl a month ago with a 2 year old running around wanting to know what Daddy is up to every minute.:dblthumb2:

Thanks guys...I was on the bus and this question entered my head...haha.

hmm....let me look. Thanks.

If the PDR person can get behind it then it can probably be straightened out. Might be expensive. That top picture...the dent is on a tough line.

Historically I would wash, clay, compound, polish and then wax/seal. Should I wipe the vehicle down first prior to applying wax or sealant? Preferred method or necessary?

I have not used the 21. My next polisher I would like is the FLEX PE8 Kompakt Rotary Polisher. Looks great for front and rear bumpers. Maybe next black friday.

The easiest thing to try is Clay, Compound and polish. Dont forget to add wax or sealant. You can do this by hand with a soft MF applicator but way faster by machine. Meguairs compound or scratch x is an OTC product you can try. If it is too deep then Dr Color Chip can be used.

I choose a Boss 15 due to the fact that I dont have large panel vehicles and this is a hobby. Occasionally I branch out and due some details for friends or references but few and far between. The 21 would be difficult to use on the cars I have and will have. If I had a large SUV or a full...

Advice: When your book of business is too big for your space and you are actually turning away jobs then it may be time to raise prices to curb demand. When your demand becomes too big again then I would look into a shop. Make sure you have a solid 6 months in cash reserves to keep yourself a...

The hood used to look like this... Jeep Hood Before (1) by jms493, on Flickr Now after much trial and error... 2015-11-29_08-27-09 by jms493, on Flickr Pictures aren't great...I am sorry about that. I ordered Dr. Colorchip for the Jeep. There are chips all over. It will be a nice intro and...

I used the Porter Cable. I have tried it out on the hood of my jeep and it is 100x better. Smooth, powerful and very professional. I was able to take out all the imperfections that my Porter Cable could not or that I didn't have the patience with. I used HD Polish and the the Griots Boss...

I upgraded from a Porter Cable and it is a HUGE step up. Enjoy!

I just got my G15 and I am loving it. I went over my Jeep hood again and it totally removed all swirls vs my Porter Cable which i guess i needed more passes. In about 15 mins i did the whole hood. It feels like a professionals machine.

The Profit. I love small business
