No matter what machine you use. Just do a test spot starting with the finest pad and finest polish you have and keep going up in grit and coarseness until you get what you want. Then, that is the pad and compound choice you should go with. In the end, what you’re doing is levelling paint. You...

Just to give you an Idea as to what you are working with. Household bleach (javex,Clorox) is right around 12 ph full strength. At 13-15 you are getting quite alkaline (lye). On the other end of the scale is acid. Think vinegar ph 3-4, or hydrochloric acid. Ph 0-1

Not a bad idea at all as long as your set up with a proper jack and jack stands so you can do it safely.

If your cleaning a car to go to a show, or the barrels need actual polishing then I take the wheels off. Other than that, just buy a good set of wheel woollies, including one with a flexible handle, and a set of detailing brushes for lug nuts and super tight spots.

What mckobe said. Just use some fine sandpaper and sand all edges smooth. Or you can also take a little bit of duct tape and wrap the end a bit. I dint find that the ends bother the panels much, it’s seats you need to be careful on. A tiny snag on the end of your crevice tool can...

Paul A is right on the money. Just do a test spot. If your looking to remove paint defects then a little down pressure won’t hurt at all. You generally want about 15 pounds downforce when correcting. Remember, your Griot’s Machine weighs around 5 pounds, so you’ll want about 10 more...

:iagree: :whs:

15 years ago. I was flying around a big bend on the highway on my Harley, and a Wild turkey flew up outta the ditch and knocked me off my bike at 65 mph. I pretty near didn’t make it. I’m lucky to be here today. I hate birds!!!

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Just try to avoid soaking the brake components with it. If you want to really blast your rims with it then maybe, but I myself have not experienced any issues in this regard.

Set some traps and trap the mouse. Then you need a bamboo skewer and place the mouses head on the skewer close by the car as a reminder to the other mice in the neighbourhood that your not playing around.......

I have been using the 3D super citrus APC for about a week now. I really like it actually. I have been using it at 45:1 and it has worked well for any interior cleaning I have done with it so far. I have used it on leather, vinyl and a few different plastics and it has worked well. I used...

Using the foaming scrub brush at the coin op wash, as well as the crisco spray on wax.

Also, What Bill said about using the oscillating lawn sprinkler is a great idea. If it’ll fit under the car.

APC is: all purpose cleaner. I usually just spray really well with Apc/degreaser, let it sit a couple minutes than rinse with pressure washer Yes sometimes when prepping cars for shows I will jack up car and put it on jack stands. I use quality 20 ton jack stands, which when placed properly...

Whenever I do under car/undercarriages, I generally just get down on my knees and use pressure washer to clean under car. I use my 2 gallon sprayer to slather undercarriage with Apc When prepping cars for shows, I have gone as far as to jack up the car and put it on jack stands to give me more...

Haahahahahaa. Now that’s funny!!! I bet they do too. If not, they’re in the kitchen making one up right now after reading this post. Lmfao.

Ok guys, after fighting glitter most of the afternoon, I’ve decided the best way to deal with it, is not to take another job that requires glitter removal. Lmao! The lint brush Idea worked well, as did duct tape. The duct tape is a little aggressive though,(pulls up a lot of carpet fibres)...

Great Idea Bill! Thanks much. I’m gonna give er’ a go right now!

Hey guys, just a quick question. Does anyone have any tricks for getting glitter out of carpet/seats etc. I am working on a vehicle now that looks like the kids had a glitter fight or something. The friggen stuff is everywhere. I even have it all over me now. Lol. No matter how much I...

Hey guys, just wanted to quickly share an experience I had today. I haven’t been in the detailing business for all that long, so this may be old news to many of you, but was a new experience to me. This morning I did a job on a 2015 Kia Sorento. The rear wheel wells where covered with a...
