    Quick Detail - Question - Poli-Seal

    I've used poli-seal on the MF polishing pad on quite a few cars and it does a great job of cleaning the paint and giving it a nice shine. I think you'll be happy with the results untill u get around to a full correction:)

    Tires still brown after scrubbing...

    Go to wally world and pick you up some bleche white. I was using APC and even OPC straight on some nasty tires and having to scrub them 4 or 5 times to get them looking decent, someone suggested bleche white so I picked some up and haven't came across a tire that took more than using it twice on...

    3500 Dodge Ram Dually

    For some reason I keep getting these big behemoths:dunno:. This is one of my wifes coworkers trucks. She is really big into horse reigning , and uses it to pull her horse trailer to all the regional rodeos. To say this thing was covered with bugs would be an understatement, there was even...

    How to price for Opti-Coat service

    I just put OC on my sisters tahoe a couple of weeks ago, it needed correction though so I used OPT compound on it. The good thing about this is if you use OPT polishes an IPA wipe down is not required, just wipe it with a damp MF towel and you're ready to apply OC.:props: I would at least do a...

    My sisters 2002 Chevy Tahoe

    Thanks guys, yeah she was really excited about it. When she saw it she said "Did you buy me a new truck, b/c that doesn't even look like mine!!":dblthumb2:. As for the dusting it wasn't that bad, it's just that everyone says it doesn't dust so i wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong...

    My sisters 2002 Chevy Tahoe

    Every year for my big sis's birthday I clean her truck up for her which up until this year, when I found detailing forums and machine polishing, entailed a wash and some OTC wax:gasp:. So seeing as how huge this thing is and the only other attention it sees all year is the occasional touchless...

    Any bookworms in the forum?

    I'm reading the second book of "The Strain" trilogy by Guillermo del Toro right now, they're a very "edge of your seat" books. I also read anything Chuck Palahniuk does, "fight club" and "rant" are probably my favorites of his. Neil Gaimans "American Gods" is also a must read. You can't go...

    Applying DG 501

    Thanks guys, so I do need to slow my arm speed and work area down and work the 501 more to get the cleaning effect correct? With the 111 i just would do a whole panel at a time with a fast arm speed and just spread it around. She's not worried about correction just wants a "shiny" car :)
