    New detail menu; looking for feedback

    Justin- How do you plan to use your brochure? Are you going to go door-to-door and stick them in people’s mailboxes or are you planning to hand them out to select prospective customers? My impression is that your ‘target’ market is people who are at least somewhat familiar with the art of...

    Wolfgang instant detail spritz

    I'll tell you what I have been really impressed with is DG Aquawax. I do a two-step, though, so not sure if that's what you're looking to get into. I usually use whatever QD I have on hand followed by topping with Aquawax. Aquawax returns a very noticeable gloss to the paint. I've only tried...

    My First Time Polishing and Waxing.

    You picked an awfully large vehicle to start with but at the same time, at least you had a lot of surface to practice on. Looks great :xyxthumbs:

    Need your thoughts

    That all depends on whether those light scratches bother you or not. Personally, I'd probably work those out....but that's just me.

    Need your thoughts

    Not sure what you are referring to. It looks like a tape line running vertically down the middle of the rear quarter panel. I assume you did some correction from that line to the front of the car?? If not, are you saying that from that line to the rear of the vehicle is the only place where the...

    Yellowing White Paint

    I clayed, used DG501, M105, HD Polish, IPA wipedown, and Collinite 845 topped with Maxwax. Got a very nice glossy look and it is better but still looks a little yellowed to me. Oh well....good enough. M105 is some amazing stuff. On a blue LC Hydrotech it cuts down quickly. Definitely has become...

    Fix for Harbor Freight DA

    Yes. That backing plate will work. And, yes, the HF foam pads are good pads except the velcro on the back does not extend to the edge so you may find (like myself and others have) that the backing plate will come into contact with the outer edge and cause pieces of the pad to come off. Also...

    Yellowing White Paint

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll give them a try and see what happens. Like I said, the paint appears to be in good shape.

    Yellowing White Paint

    My daughter drives a white 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix with 85K on the odometer. The paint appears to be yellowing to me but I cannot tell if it is due to age or some form of contamination.....or maybe just my imagination. I polished it with M205 and got an excellent finish. The paint seems to be in...

    Need a cheaper product for tire shine

    Believe or not, this stuff has a nice look, it lasts, and it's only about $3.50 a can at Walmart. I know it's not one of the more touted detailing brands but it's worth a try for less than $4.00. Sometimes you can get them two for $5.00.

    Need a STRONG OTC wheel cleaner..

    That's what I use. Works very well. I spray the surface with some wheel cleaner, let it soak for a bit, and then I dunk a scotchbrite in soapy water and scrub. You wouldn't want to do that on the outside of the wheel but okay on the inside barrels unless you have a clear coat that you don't want...

    Collinite #845

    I stick the bottle in the microwave on high for 15-20 seconds and then shake it real good. You just need to make sure you take the lid off when putting it in the microwave or you could end up with a pressurized bottle of wax. I apply and let it sit on the paint for about 10 minutes and wipe...

    SEMA Release of Rupes

    Just read this on another site: "RUPES is only releasing the LHR12E [Duetto] in complete kit form...not individual tool sales." Cost was right around $500.

    Removal of orange peel question...

    See the car in my avatar? Same story as you ....although I wouldn't say it had "serious" orange peel. It was definitely noticeable, though, It was the first car I had ever color sanded and buffed and that was before I knew half of what I learned here on AG. If you've never done it before, it can...

    Megs D300 on foam pad

    Sorry if this has been asked before (I did a search and couldn't locate anything). Anyone using D300 on a foam pad and, if so, what kind of results are you getting? I haven't tried it yet but was curious if anyone has had any experience with this before I did. Thanks !!

    Harbor Freight DA Polisher - New

    Would be nice if HF offerred a direct drive unit to compete against the Flex 3401. Although I'd like to get a Flex, I just can't get myself talked into spending $300+ for it.
