Poorboy's Professional Polish: Now Poorboy’s Professional Polish is creamy”, making it more user-friendly and a real pleasure to apply! poorboys Poorboy's original Pro Polish has been best for me at removing or lightening stains in older single stage paints. It's the chemicals / cleaners in it...

Good Deal!!! Congratz!!!!

Another thing I do (forgot to mention) is tell the prospective client to jot down my number just in case the cheap shop messes their car's paint up, citing he may just need to have it repaired. This plants a seed in a lot of folks minds about what their money and time is worth. Sometimes they...

I turn away a lot of folks like the guy who approached you. As someone else said though, I have a 30 second to 1 minute explanation of the fact that I am the owner and detailer and do expert level work. I share a few horror stories of how low paid "non expert" employees are racing against...

I've had this happen more than once. Sometimes scrubbing is just necessary depending on what's stuck to them. Thankfully not too much really sticks too bad. I've found that when these wheel well liners begin to get all fuzzed up from scrubbing, you can go over them with a heat gun followed by a...

A very overlooked polish that is sold here at AG that works really well at making metallic silver pop is Poorboy's World Polish With Sealant. It really pops and when topped with other optically clear waxes or sealants you get even more pop.

If you went to Harbor Freight tools and picked up a Platinum DA polisher and a couple of pads to do the job, it would more than pay for itself in time and save a ton of body pain as well. You'll likely never finish the job by hand as black is the toughest color to finish. We're talking an...

Welcome to the site. Nice Caddy!! I'd have to ask the same question as asked above... Why the body shop for the cleaning of your car? Perhaps they have a capable detailer there? I'd imagine they are experts in body and fender, maybe total repaints... I've seen a lot of body shops that also have...

I picked up about half a dozen of the vented DA backing plates for $5 a piece a long time ago and to my delight they have turned out to be the best plates I've ever used.. Right place right time I suppose. It's like the hooks are somehow molded right into the backing plate. Don't know how they...

Happy birthday VT!!! Tried to call you the other day... Hope all is well my friend!! Have a super fantastic holiday season!!!

That's the number one rule around my shop and the handicap accessible van sales / rental business I work with. Get a contact name and number no matter what. Usually it comes right up on my phone so I ask, "John, Is this a good number to reach you at in case one of the sales professionals have...

Very nice work Zach!! Very well put together thread and great photography!! How much Essence in ounces do you estimate it took to complete this particular job? You mention using very little product with the MF pads. Do you apply some product to the pad and try to spread it lightly and evenly...

:iagree:

I used to think similar thoughts... Now I'm living a life beyond my wildest dreams!!!:dblthumb2:

I've gotten to the point with my HF DA and Lake Country UltraFiber pads where I'm doing an entire Paint correction using just one single MF pad. I've lost count of how many paint corrections I've done using that same one pad. Over heat the pad and it's pretty much finished, keep the pad cool by...

I've done a crap load of paint corrections, a crap load of sanding and a crap load of scrubbing with the Cyclo brushes using the HF Platinum DA polisher I purchased when it first came out. Mine is every bit as powerful as any Griot's Garage 6 inch ROP that I've used. If these units are hit or...

I remember making the comment to Buff Daddy that "I wish there were a single head version of the cyclo!!" I remember the excitement level in Kevin's voice rise as he said "I know!!!, I know!!!"

I still use a rotary buffer and expect there will always be something here or there that calls for the rotary polisher. I have been "bitten" by the rotary on quite a few occasions over the years, usually near the end of a very long day when I'm getting very tired. I have put a lot of effort into...

Thanks Mike. I've done headlights a lot of different ways. Sanding to 400 grit and spraying clear at that point, sanding to 3000 grit and polishing, sanding to 1000 grit then compounding with super duty then 105/205 etc.. Lately I've been simply hitting them with my pneumatic rotary using...

Being more of a forum carouser than a steady customer here at AutoGeek, I've never really had any personal or professional interaction with Meghan. I've on many, many occasions however, seen from my computer chair, Meghan step in and take charge of numerous situations. Whether it be the...
