I bought one almost 10 years ago when they were first very popular. It was ok but it was hard to get a pad perfectly centered on it for some reason.. Perhaps the backing plate was not perfectly round.. Its tall so it puts you and your machine a little farther from the work, and this is...

FUNX725 - Senor' :) Member, Bob ! Your good humor is killing me !!! :):):):):) Thank you ! Dan F

FTD - The relatively easy Corolla unless it has been lived in and thoroughly trashed, is going to give you more time to spend on the sometimes finicky Porsche.. The Porsche is going to require more expensive chemicals to bring it all back to "new" again and has a lot more leather sometimes...

FTD - Glad we can help ! Loved the story of the new Corvette.. They have very hard paint and you found that out. :) Sounds like it came out fabulous ! Great job ! The majority of my Clients dont want pics either.. I dont know why, but they respectfully decline and thats fine.. I have seen...

FTD - Sounds like you are way far up the road on this and Im glad to hear you have lots of potential Clients waiting.. There will be nothing better in my experience, than word-of-mouth for getting your name out there. I use that more than anything and it pretty much takes care of itself... A...

Builthatch - Good for you ! DeFelsko has been around decades and they would probably rank up there as the Industry Standard for any of their material measurement meters.. You can go direct to them I believe and inquire about pricing, etc., too.. I have never heard or read anything but...

What speed are your running on the Flex when you did that ? I put a spacer on my Rotary to get the machine out of the way, and a 3" or 4" backing plate.. I have to mind the edges more because I am running direct drive and keep the rpms down but it works fast for me.. Any other machine as has...

FTD - Thank you for providing more detailed info regarding your experience ! Looks like we have a very similar background. I also started at my Dad's gas station, repair shop, body shop in back, and absolutely loved and got great at all of it, too! You have what looks like a very well-rounded...

What is the "Market" average for Detailing in this area ? What is the average "Quality" of the Details being done in this area? Have you gone out to all the Detailing Shops, talked to them, looked at their brochures, and seen their pricing ? What does their work look like? What level of...

How much hands on, not youtube, experience do you have measured in years ? Where have you worked, and who can be called on for references ? Do you have an easy to maneuver website listing everything you do, including pictures, testimonals and pricing ? Are you working out of your garage...

Paintless dent repair can get behind it and remove it assuming the guy has real experience.. My guy would charge around $100 but when done you would not be able to see or feel where the dent was. It would be gone... Good luck with this - Dan F

I believe Motor Trend just did a Review on the new Accord that may help you gather more information... Honda has always had a great reputation and they are all so easy to work on.. They dont ask for much to keep them running compared to say any German car.. Ask me how I know.. :) They really...

SMCN101 ! Yes !! Very nice !! Looks like its lowered like the AMG's are... :) You got a heck of a deal on it too - I have looked at them too, and know how they price their options.. Good for you ! Have Detailed hundreds of Mercedes vehicles in the past, and they have really beautiful...

Congratulations on a very nice Mercedes ! I have seen just a few on the road and the new 220 shape is very nicely done. And AMG options really make it nice.. Having applied Optimum Opti-Guard over 3 years ago ( it is now called Opti-Coat-Pro), I can say without hesitation that I would never go...

removed by me !

There are many meters out there and some are out and outright copies of others with a different name.. I purchased a Highline meter years ago, probably 8 years at least.. It is a good meter for what it does - measure total thickness of material on steel or aluminum in mils or microns.. It uses...

Im with allenk4 - Unless you dropped it in a bag of cement, etc., I would inspect it, wash it, re-inspect it and you should be good to go.. Because you always inspect each towel you are using anyway - before - and during its use - every time, you should be fine.. Dan F

No, it was George Harrison - John Lennon would have never written that song.. Dan F

I have sanded down and compounded dozens of those and most of them older Bimmers, with a Rotary and several 3" foam pads, sometimes, purple foam wool at the onset of the process.. If you ever sanded down enough to go through, you would have to be the first person ever to do that.. Its plastic...

ViGi - I have had a Flex 3401-VRG since it first came out, almost 10 years ago. It is a great machine, rotates counter-clockwise (to the left), so you have to get used to that, and is pretty good at correcting but will never be able to do what a direct drive Rotary can do in experienced hands...
