Pampos, if I were there, I would be your pad cleaning boy, just to learn from a Detailing God, the proper way to Mirror Finish a Ferarri. I'm amazed by how many high-end autos are on that tiny island nation.

I ordered one too and must say I like the way it forces you to work fast so as not to leave soap streaks on the finish. Always work in the shade. But, yeah I do the same, straight soap concentrate, spray on, wash the vehicle and rinse. It's a Very Fast procedure! I know I'm blowing my neighbors...

Welcome fellow lurker and race enthusiast. I have found, what few courses I have taken at these Hi-Performance schools, to be extremely enjoyable and valuable in the tricks and tips that they teach. They literally blow out the window, everything you've been taught in the off-track world and I...

You really need to get a machine and not the orbital buffer from Sears. Working by hand with the paint you're describing, sounds almost impossible to do by hand. You do have good products though!

Good save pampos! The owner must have been floored with those results. I can live with a little orange peel as long as the finish is clean like you made it.

Great call Dayten!

Some of us oil out of advisements, while others don't and still have no problems. Personally, I oil mine with a light household lubricant (3in1, gotta love that smell) or even sewing machine oil.

I'd say it's perfectly fine and normal. Mine did the same from minute 1 right off the delivery truck even with long and aggressive shaking. And that's here in warm and sunny Hawaii. I've applied WG 3.0 Sealant to a (my) black '04 Jaguar S-Type R and layered Fusion on it 12 hours later as...

Hades02, I'm enjoying the hell out'a your post. Don't forget the pictures tomorrow! Now... back to the smell. Let's talk some more about the smell. I'm in complete and absolute agreement with you about Duragloss and smell. Don't know what it is about their products but nothing comes close to...

Can't wait, this I gotta see!

My gawd pampos! Long time no hear. Your shop, do you do only detailing or other things as well? Reason I ask is the 4 post lift. That's quite an investment for a detailer. Detailing God/ Mirror Finish as usual!

:welcome:...to the sickness, to the disease that we, are oh so afflicted by. I can sense your enthusiasm for your new found hobby and hope you will continue to improve on your artform, as it is as much art, as it is industry. I sense and share your happiness in a job well done, much of which...

:welcome:...and that is the finest introduction I have ever read on a forum Professor. I'm with Wendell on the vote for the Flex. I will be looking forward to your posts to learn and glean whatever wisdom I can gain from your testimonials on products and techniques.

My gawd, that's shiny!

I like the way you included the cleaning tools and and the bottle of product in the picture. It speaks for itself.

Looks like you got a real pro's selection there and won't go wrong with any of it. You're gonna love the Flex and since you mentioned family, they will likely never leave you alone, literally lining up to do their car next. Most of us on this forum will top a sealant with a wax and only after...

Very impressive.

I love these Pro threads! You can pick up the subtle nuances of a detailers frustrations like not getting 100% paint correction and the importance of powerful lighting versus relying on overhead fluorescents. Things like time constraints, working under pressure, 3 step polishing process, pads...
