I've found the correction I get out of HD Speed depends a good bit on my pad selection as well as the paint in question. If I use a green B&S/CG Hex pad I get really solid correction in most cases. In my estimation the 2000 grit or finer spec is spot on, maybe even a tiny bit conservative. With...

Great job! Looks much better!:xyxthumbs:

Heh if he had time to leave it I would have! I know red paint!:buffing:

Great post Mike! I was watching my times as I washed this week as well, trying to refine the process. Considering you also took a ton of pics, that is some fast work my friend! One time saving tip I tried that worked well for me was when claying my SUV that was in sore need, I used two clay...

Working on half a dozen cars this week: Wash/clay/AIO (HD Speed) on the family SUV (2007 Tahoe) Wash/decontaminate & clay/AIO (HD Speed)/wax (Finish Kare 1000P)/vinyl top clean/protect on a current project car (1993 LX 5.0 Convertible) Wash/wax (UQW) on the wife's daily driver (and rim repair...

I just rinse mine well after hitting it with a spray of mf cleaner, then I let it air dry after wringing it out.

It causes me physical distress just looking at that picture. Seriously. Great work on the save, OCD! :xyxthumbs:

I saw an episode of I don't recall what exactly but they got to drive the SS basically around the top of the Petersen Garage, and they weren't just crawling. I was cringing, but you have to respect that they will run these priceless cars, no matter how carefully. Seeing them on a track is...

What an amazing opportunity! That car is fairly priceless - I would imagine 8 figures. They are truly beautiful in all forms, even the Superformance cars and the throwback Ford GT. :props:

Re: Next 3-Day Boot Camp Class - January 22nd, 23rd & 24th Mike - thanks for taking time to post your thoughts, and (as usual) you are a wealth of valuable opinions and facts. I made the decision early on to take your class. I've watched all your appearances and videos that I can find, and I...

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome! I even see some folks I think I recognize from other forums (Pat I'm looking at you! TT.net?) It is refreshing to see so many professionals and mature conversations on an internet forum, and folks still have fun and a sense of humor about them. Good stuff!

Truzoom, I am going through some of the same questions you are. What part of the country are you in? I am curious on the HOA variance. Does anyone else have feedback on this? Licensing/insurance/taxes/corporate structure I have a handle on. The things I am finding challenging are: 1) HOA/city...

Re: Next 3-Day Boot Camp Class - January 22nd, 23rd & 24th Mike - I am going to be registering for this probably about a week out from the start (busy paying taxes through the end of the year), and I am considering extending my stay to visit the Mobile Tech Expo as well. I only realized there...

I've got a Redline and a Max. The Redline will give you more warning, but the Max has a lot of cool features the Redline doesn't. If I am doing a road trip with the family or running around town, I bring the Max. If I am riding solo on a highway run, I bring the Redline. Both have paid for...

If I only had one car to detail, I could settle on just one for each category. Maybe. Nah, who am I kidding? I would still have a ton of products... and I could never have just one car.

Greetings to all on the forum! I am a long time lurker and detailing fanatic who has finally decided to pursue what makes me happy, and that is working with cars. Detailing has always been a part of my passion for cars, even before I could drive. I would wash my Hot Wheels and set up a fully...
