    Northern Virginia team detail anyone?

    Yeah this is what I PM'd JSou about, but apparently everyone going pretty much has their own gear. So if everyone just only uses their own towels, then puts them back in their car or their little gear area when they are done with them, there shouldn't be any crossing of towels.

    Northern Virginia team detail anyone?

    This sounds like it is going to be fun as hell. Chipping in for a Costco run sounds like a good idea as well, I'm down for that. I will bring my equipment just in case, and if we don't have the outlets, no big deal it doesn't hurt to bring it.

    High Gloss CCS pads on Flex 3401?

    Hey guys, I'm new to detailing and I just purchased the Flex 3401 black fire kit. I got 2 red, 2 white, and 2 orange high gloss ccs pads in 6.5 inches. I also have the backing plate system, but like I said only 6.5 inch pads. I've seen Mike Phillips say that the 5 inch pads (or maybe it was 5.5...

    How steep is the learning curve with a Flex?

    It's a forced rotation double action polisher, which has the rotation plus oscillation (hence double action) like a DA polisher, but also a forced rotation direct drive like a rotary buffer. It's kind of like a hybrid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAmojb8XIuk

    windshield wiper blade treatment?

    Wait, wouldn't the alcohol dry out the rubber? @OP: I would try 303 aerospace protectant. Apply to both blades, wait 5 min, wipe off with a MF. If there is a black stuff coming off on your MF, repeat the whole process until black stuff doesn't come off. If you are still having an issue, just...

    Q: Both glare and film on windshield, I can't see at night or in the rain!?

    Roger that, I was hoping this was the case with my windshield because that would be a LOT simpler. I replaced the blades, and did a super cleaning with DP products and glass restorer buffing, which sounds like its DP's version of the Diamond-Glass you were talking about. No luck unfortunately...

    Q: Both glare and film on windshield, I can't see at night or in the rain!?

    You're the man! I will try to document what I do and update the thread so people can see how it turns out. I liked your company's facebook page. Quid pro quo! P.S. You have to tell me sometime how you do that golf course thing with the carpets

    Q: Both glare and film on windshield, I can't see at night or in the rain!?

    Ah, okay, no worries! It's incredible to be able to just piggyback off of the experience of you guys who have tried all of this before instead of shooting blind. So I should use CarPro glass pads with a machine to apply CeriGlass, making sure to use the water spraying and application methods...

    Q: Both glare and film on windshield, I can't see at night or in the rain!?

    Wow thanks for this thorough response. I have been doing a lot of reading going through these links. I had searched for the answer to this issue before posting but somehow I missed these guides (*DOH). I was reading through the one you wrote, and I just wanted to make sure that I was following...

    Q: Both glare and film on windshield, I can't see at night or in the rain!?

    Thanks for the tips Steelman! Can you clarify what you mean by black crap? The rubber itself is black?

    Q: Both glare and film on windshield, I can't see at night or in the rain!?

    Hey guys, this is my first post here and I will try to keep it short while giving you the facts. The problem: Really, it's two different problems both resulting in glare. 1. At night, any lights, especially red lights, give me this crazy glare so that it is very hard to see. It looks like...
