True. Throughout H.S. I worked at several dealerships detailing. A RV place and a Cadillac dealership (I was part detailer/courtesy washer/lot attendant). The RV place was terrible. I was a part maid on the interiors and the exteriors all we did was wash and then apply literally watered down...

I find it strange that a professional detailer would use such a machine. When my father was younger, in the early 70s, he worked at a Ford dealership detailing. He has told me even they used to use a type of rotary. Personally I couldn't detail a whole car without at least a PC and 3" backing...

Computer/tablet touch screen wipes 👍

Pretty simple really. With a larger pad you will have less cutting area per sq in. A = pi r squared The 6.5 has roughly 33.2 sq in of surface area. The 5 has roughly 20 sq in of surface area. (Now I'm not sure whether to use power output or opm's but I will stick with power.) Anyways the...

Okay here is my two cents. Gel coat is nothing like a clear coat. Gel is extremely durable, which is a huge plus since boats are kept in/out of water. Also it is very easy to work with if you have the correct tools. The downside is that it oxizes like nothing else. From your pictures, it...

Yeah depending on the brand of pad that may last you a hood and quarter panel. I would buy at least 5 more white pads to be safe. Any thing below polish (except megs #9 or equiv) I do with an applicator or by hand. So I cannot comment on softer pads. Also you should buy (definitely buy) a...

AMMO nyc has a YouTube video on the subject

I would take your cue from car dealerships. A lot of them have some kind of photo room. There job is to sell cars, so they know what looks best in photos Personally, and I do not want to sound mean, I think tan flooring is ugly. It would look very similar to the exterior and it the colors...

If cash is a bit tight you could always run an extension cord from inside, out the window to some sort of power strip. This is what I typically do if I am working and don't want to use a generator. Yes I do own a generator, but they are noisey and I don't like to annoy people. If a client...

In the past I have done a few surveys for various uni. courses. I use them to back up my thesis statements, power in numbers. What I typically do is use Google Forms that automatically saves to MyDrive and I can view the results there, I attach the link to the survey on my schools Reddit page so...

Almost felt like creating a new account for this but, saliva. There have been times where I have tried everything and a spot wont come off. I lick my finger, wipe, spot is off. These are the moments I question my purpose. Lol *face to palm*

Doesn't get much love because its a pain to work with but M105. I know that if this product doesn't get out a scratch no compound will, although that is unfortunate it offers me some peace of mind.

Depends on the car and how badly the clear is damaged. Rule of thumb is to start with a test spot with polish and if that doesn't work well then you need to compound.

Agreed. Especially if cheap MF's can scratch paint quite easily I assume a foam pad rotating at a few 1000 rpm would do some sweet sweet damage

Agree with Kuji. However you should invest in a smaller brush for tighter spots and around lugs. There are lugnut brushes but they run in the $25 dollar range for a good one. So I use a paint brush from Lowe's. Something like...

Even without pictures all you have been using is polish. Logically if 205 didn't work for me. I would try 105 and then if still not I would consider a wet sand. There isn't a huge difference in the cutting ability in the 3 polishes you've listed. Going banana's/insanity = doing the same...

I would look into investing in bulk MF towels. I purchased like 48 from Amazon for like $20 and I use them for everything except paint on paint. Then buy some quality MF towels for paint. Maybe a dozen or so. Something affordable. But safe. A lot of members here use $$$ boars hair brushes on...

Incredible detailing studio, being mobile I would kill for a place that looked that nice! My girlfriend is Brazilian she's going down to Brazilia this summer to visit some family, I will try to convince to stop by you and pick your brain! Anyways awesome pictures and great job on the work!!!

I have always liked UTTG. It is at the same price point as the one's you mentioned, however I feel it provides the best longevity out of all the products you mentioned. But if you are detailing for a living, I would look at getting a cheaper option as well. There is no need to apply $30...
