    Rupes Mini Lake Country Pad Choices

    I am curious for those that use the Boss pads and the Lake Country Thin pads on the Rupes Mini, do you still use the Rupes backing plate or do you use the backing plate from the same company as the pads?

    1969 Camaro 45 Hour Detail - by Mirror Reflections Auto Spa

    Thank you everyone for the kind comments. He was pretty happy to see his car both times. I feel like I went through a transformation of being over polishing this car exhausted, to bonding with it lol, and being sad while spraying Crystal Mist on the paint.

    A YouTube video I uploaded I feel good about

    I uploaded a video I really like, that I believe will really kick start where I want to take my business right now. Which focuses more of an authority in detailing in my area versus the more direct selling approach. I also feel like this is making a positive impact (maybe tiny lol) in industry.

    smoke odor

    I am a big fan of Dakota Smokers Deioderizer. I will often give my customers vehicle a spray of that even if I am focused on the exterior, if I was for example just vacuming. I would suggest even just using something mild (interior cleaner) and wipe down the whole inside with it. Carefully...

    Anyone know of a medium and or light polish compound for use in the sun?

    Mckee's compound. Not designed specifically for sun, but will work fine (from personal experience) w/maybe just shrinking your work area. It also falls under the mild to light compound category. I've heard HD Cut is a really good option for working in the. It is a little more aggressive...

    Question for fellow professionals

    Somewhat yes. I think a better way of asking would be, of general detailing work (above maintenance washes) what percentage of work would fall under paint correction from a dealership messing up your customer's vehicle?
