Thanks Mike :xyxthumbs:

Have always had a soft spot for the lates 80's and early 90s Japanese sports cars, supra, 300Zx, RX7 so I was pretty excited when the owner contact me about his 87 supra. Car was in amazing condition and had been repainted in Audi Black for the hood and Audi silver for the body. To say the...

Thanks I've heard of others also having trouble with Alpine White with models built in Germany. I did a 335i in black last weekend and it corrected easily using PF2500 not sure where that model is built but it was a breeze to correct. :confused: Think it was the previous owner who ruined...

Was contacted to do a one step polish for this German beauty and it was the first time a car owner admitted that his paint was in horrible condition and boy he wasn't kidding. I always get the usual "My paint isn't that horrible" oh really, let's look at it under halogen bulbs or in direct sun...

No, was just hired for the exterior. Just realized the last pic was a before shot. No edit buttons??

I was hoping that's what it was but it turned out to be tears in the leather.

Thank god for the weathertec, there was hardly an salt on the matts. I have sets in both my vehicles, maybe a bit pricey but worth every penny.

yes, sorry I used a bissel hot extractor however most stains needed to be worked by hand, some were as old as the car. Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Did some research on the forum before doing this detail and the general concensus was the paint was soft on these cars. Maybe it was me but I didn't find it soft like a subaru or honda paint I'd say more in the medium range. Was still pleased on how well it corrected. flex 3401 LC Orange and...

Had a client drop this off Sunday evening for an interior detail and exterior wash only. The car was a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country, owner over the phone mentioned that it was really dirty but nothing could prepare me for what I found... I had quoted 250$ over the phone however mentioned all...

Thanks, I've seen plenty of those, guess i'm looking for something more "industrial size and finish" and that can be ceiling mounted so my dimensions are much larger then say a desk mounted lamp.

I have the usual halogen bulbs on tripods and fluro's mounted to the garage ceiling and while this works ok I was thinking/looking at having a retractable halogen worklight mounted to the ceiling. Having it mounted to ball joints would give me the flexiblity of viewing roofs, high hoods (trucks)...

Does PP2 have more cut then SSR2.5?

Thanks! Owner called me today to thank me again, always makes me feel good to get that kind of gratitude :)

Has to be something spilled on the hood. Doubt it's clear coat failure in the traditional sense

Oops dakota lol Long day

Completed this correction today on this 15 year old truck. even though it was repainted 7 years ago the paint was lifeless. This was the first car I've done that was completely repainted and I found that nearly every panel required a different pad and polish combo. Anyone else seen experience...

Hey everybody... After two+ years of reading and learning from this forum I thought it was time to register and post up an intro. I live in Ontario Canada and have been detailing cars (by machine) for the last 2 years. I started out like most by doing it by hand for years and years. It wasn't...

Thanks for the quick reply. Wow! I'd say its 80% daily drivers and 20% show cars. I've recently teamed up with a local automotive restorer so I expect the ratios to change slightly. I have a few years experience all on the PC and I'd like to think I have good technique. (Will post an intro...

Hi Mike, great review of the rupes.. enjoy all the detailed info. I do have one question. I'm torn between the Rupes 21 and the flex 3401. If you had to use machine what would you grab and why?
