    hand applicators

    Not yet being totally proficient with the PC there are some contours I just can't reach with the machine. Guess I'll pony up for the doohickey to spare my poor arthritic hands. How well will it work on the Klasse twins?

    2 bucket method, What is it?

    Actually, some use a third bucket to soak used/caked towels and applicators or four if one is dedicated to wheels only, maybe five if you also detail the engine at the same time, or six to avoid cross contamination. Then, too, I've seen where someone swears by doubling the grit guards for good...

    Worst/Most Ignorant Detailing Mistakes

    Don't rush and allow enough time to do it right as explicated above. This especially applies to the prep work. Ditto, TOGWT. After about two years of slightly modifying your regimen and products you will get faster and better. Only then should you consider experimenting with trendy high end...

    hand applicators

    Even the on line shops and enclosed product literature have conflicting recommendations and pictures. While it may not make a big difference, what do you all use for different products? Of terry, foam and MF, which do you prefer for sealants, glazes, polishes, waxes, et cetera? How do you prep...

    Twisted Ankle

    Microfractures. If it still hurts after the swelling dimishes investigate further. Generally there's no serious damage, but all trauma entails potential occult risk, and the older one is the greater the potential for bone damage. Even if this occurs, it need not be cause for alarm and you may...

    I Give Up

    Professional detailers drove me to become a proficient enthusiast. Used to gladly pay for quality work; now accept that it isn't available, and my premise was wrong. It's a low margin, high volume and labor intensive business with a plethora of administrative requirements if one bothers to try...

    Has anybody ever thought of this

    does that apply to acrylic sealants as well as waxes? Would glaze be advisable before Klasse AIO & SG, for example?

    What is a glaze?

    killr., I've been deleting a glaze after polishing because I use the Klasse twins before waxing. Are you saying that KAIO and KSG can be applied over a glaze? If so, to what advantage? If not, what sealants can be applied over a glaze? Waxes, sure, but this is new to me (I like Old Skool).

    Am surprised Klasse

    Would application of a Paintwork Cleansing Lotion be appropriate after claying, or not necessary and can skip straight to polishing?

    Am surprised Klasse

    is still holding up after six months (last November). Still, will detail next week. After wash will clay and polish, then plan to reapply the twins before topping with Souveran. Is there anything I should do first to remove the SG? Will it hinder the claying or polish (XMT)? Searched threads...

    XMT and pad question

    I deduce from Whitthunder that FMinus was referring to Edge pads. Is this correct?

    Is this shady?

    Then again you could institute a "retrieval and processing fee" of say 50% for all currency recovered, but waive it each time. This would spur them to be more conscious and tidy to begin with and evidence your good will.

    The good and the bad about NJ gas pumps!

    I frequently fill up in Jersey when possible as it is appreciably cheaper than NYC. Always I admonish them to be careful with the cap and nozzle. They mostly comply, espeially when I step around to stretch my legs and record the pump readings, but I've occassionally thought about learning some...

    Why is it not good..

    So where does the Wolfgang Poly Clay fit in? I assume it is more abrasive than the Pinnacle Ultra, but am not sure. Would it be a good choice for one annual session?
