I have the fading/white problem on my Benz . . . and my friend has it on his Mazda . . . Conclusion: A mix of waxes, cleaners, sunlight, and oxidation have bleached the upper surface of the black trim permanently. (I'm talking about hard plastic trim) Therefore, products can only cover up and...

adding to what pureshine said.... and this is from my phone so bare with me.. a business must be based on joy... if you are the owner of any business, it will not succeed if you only want money... you truly have to feel joyful giving your customers something you believe will help them! you...

I usually let customers know that correction is permanent as long as the paint is maintained properly. I let them know how easy it is to add excrescences to the paint of a car without realizing it and how my washing methods prevent the marring of paint and preserve any wax/sealant that has been...

Yea I guess I'll just have to be careful and lightly brush it then dress it accordingly. Also, yes man, i've never heard that term, lol, but it sounds like it means hang out. Sounds good to me Setec.

Beautiful results with the trim cleaner! It appears that that is hard plastic trim? I have a question regarding trim: I have brushed trim with a toothbrush in the past and lots of black trim disintegration came off and ran down the car. Now the trim on this "test car" has trim that looks...

I have a question regarding trim: I have brushed trim with a toothbrush in the past and lots of black trim disintegration came off and ran down the car. Now the trim on this "test car" has trim that looks stripped of its top coating exposing some matte ugly color underneath. I would love to...

P.S. on the Auto-Scrub Lubricant bottle, it says "Silicone-Free" in the ingredients. Just wanted to put that out there so everyone here knows that it doesn't have silicone in it (which is something an ingredient I was thinking may not have been good to use with the "nanoskin" pad)

Spiralout: Ah, I see now.. it's "rubber polymer". That's funny, I ocassionally use flat rubber pieces to remove various tire sling contaminants (light rubbing with soap only though). I would imagine that any particles on the paint would just get caught in the "rubber polymer" pad and spin with...

My thoughts: swanicyouth: I could definitely be wrong. I thought that the clay lube combined with the pad could mar only from my knowledge of the density and hardness of the element silicon and from someone else on these forums directly saying that clay lube/silicone can easily mar when used...

My guess is the clay lube: Cheap clay lubes have silicone in them. you can determine this by looking at the ingredients. And guess what?... Silicone is the PRIMARY cause of holograms. I didn't learn this myself, but i 100% remember a reputable someone else saying it on these forums. Also, I do...

I have flat, very thin pieces of rubber (like large rubber bands but less stretchable) that I used when removing hair. They are about the size of my palm. Steps: Place it in your hand, flat press hard with all fingers onto the carpet Pull. Most hair will come right out because the hard...

Very Nice of you!!! I have a porter cable that I used with various pads and compounds so I have no need for your charitably given Dewalt. :D While I'm at it..i'm trying to spread the word about my gofundme account. Show Love for my Desperate Family please by Zachary Smith - GoFundMe ...check...

:urtheman: :bowdown: WOW did I just get help/advice from Mike Phillips?!?!?!?!? ... Wow wowow.. okay so sorry for the late response.. BUT Tru-Grit: states it is to be used with a Rotary buffer Amplifier: likewise So what a nice guy he was to sell me Rotary products along with a D/A. . . ...

A DP product that interests me is the waterless auto wash that is concentrated... I need to be able to wash cars in customer's garages while not using much or any water at all! This will extend my business into the winter!

Business really didn't start yet, because I was very fearful that I would mess up with the "junky" products I'm using because they never seemed to work for me! I've been testing on my car and my families and my Uncle in law got his car detailed by me as well as my Mother's friend. They both were...

Oh and Setec thank you for the "nice website" comment.. i personally think my website is way too confusing tho : / lol! everyone else ..check it out tho, it's almost complete.. mendhamcarspa.com I was using the products on Mercedes paint and as well a new Hyundai paint

Thanks I'll try that! I'll also purchase a finishing Polish or the Meguiar's finishing polish from Walmart.. it seems like this "pro" detailer scrwed me over with bad products. (the Malco products) Pads: I didn't post the pad manufacturer because it got worn off the velcro and i could not read...

Hey guys, thanks for the quick responses.. sorry for not getting back to you quickly! Pureshine: I've tried many speeds but I found that to get the swirls to a minimum I need to keep it on 6, and lower the pressure after a few passes... maybe i should lower the rpm too, to remove the final tiny...

I have a DA polisher (PC7424xp) with a blue soft polish pad, a green polish pad and an orange medium cut pad. I have a compound (that doesn't feel gritty whatsoever) and a cleaner-wax that says it removes swirls.. It seems like no matter what combo of pad or product I use, I still end up with...
