    PA Gold Zirkon Show Prep

    Didn't mean to worry you, Ron.:laughing: Shouldn't be a problem with other protection under it.

    Pricing for Car Wash.

    I could not agree more, that is a great bargain. IF (big if) the detailer is willing to do all of that for that amount and he can make money after cleaning all his towels, mobile/shop, then I'm fine with that, it's a great bargain for the customer. I can't figure why or even how anyone could...

    PA Gold Zirkon Show Prep

    OMGosh that car is sexy! Love it in white. Aren't you concerned though that if it can dye your skin yellow that over time and/or multiple applications of that product that it could eventually tint the paint the same? IDK! I'd be leery of that myself. Of course, with just one or a few...

    Need a new product....

    Buff Magic is awesome. They have two versions, white and pink...most aggressive to least aggressive. Pink, the less aggressive of the two, still has a ton of cut and finishes very nice. I've used the pink on a horrible 1976 Boston Whaler using with a rotary and wool cutting pad then a wool...

    Meguiars #7 on Gel Coat

    As far as the information I have read M45 and M7 are the same product or at a minimum very, very similar. Both are considered pure polishes with zero abrasives. Don't let their label of being a pure polish fool you into thinking they're abrasive. These two products infuse and gorge the...

    The old California Duster! Questions from client

    I look at it like this... If you are aware of the chatter concerning the use of this product, then you're either apt not to use it, or to use it correctly with at least a moderate, if not a high, amount of caution during use. Either is a plus to not paying attention to dust particle...

    Waterspot on Glass that has been etched for approx 6 years

    Yes, without risking personal safety, paint and glass safety, there are numerous and increasingly aggressive options for removing mineral deposits from glass. Liquids and lotions and other potions, foam pads and glass specific polishing pads, along with ideas on technique from a pro like Mike...

    The old California Duster! Questions from client

    Even if they agreed to the associated costs those dust reducing products mentioned would cause you an entirely different set of problems when it comes to detailing. Calcium chloride...rust...beet/corn/pine tar/sap bi-products, etc., all seem to find there way onto and into indoor flooring...

    1986 Porsche 911 Cabriolet, 2-step paint correction

    Nice, Rasky! Did the thought of using M7 cross your mind before compounding and polish just to infuse some extra oils into that paint? Also, seems I recall a show-n-shine by Joe@SuperiorShine doing a red Porsche like that that was badly faded. Seems like I recall him writing that he used...

    The old California Duster! Questions from client

    Pollens, organic "fuzz" (think dandelion seed carriers, cottonwood fuzz, milkweed seed carrier fibers, soybean fibers at harvest time), organic soils in the form of sands/silt/dirt/gravel dust, rail dust, brake dust, industrial fallout...all have varying degrees of particle size making it dang...

    Waterspot on Glass that has been etched for approx 6 years

    At 1:46 to 1:50 of the above link is all you need to know...polishing is the still needed at times in replacement to using this product according to his own words. Listen for yourself. Words mean things. Just ask any lawyer. LOL! About 3minutes in he says the spots on the windows are not...

    How to clean this.

    I've had APC leave residues on paint that had to be polished off per Mike Phillip's personal instruction...both Meguiars APC+ and OPC at 1:10 for both. So, if there's a concern about residue, then I'd be concerned with all3 products. However, residue from the Mothers product I mentioned hasn't...

    The old California Duster! Questions from client

    That's about the most useless bit of information posted on car detailing forum, ever. The reasons are so obvious they shouldn't need explaning...but for the sake of the other detailing nuances created by using such products, not to mention labor/application/maintenance costs related to using...

    How to clean this.

    I would still recommend cleaning the trim, rubber or plastic, with the Mothers HD Trim cleaner product I referenced, then proceed with Solution Finish... ...and then I'd top the Solution Finish with something like Wolfgang WETS, or Ultima Tire and Trim Guard...used as regular maintenance...even...

    Sad news today

    Sorry to hear this, Paul. Let's be realistic, and I think you have been by saying you would be putting her through extensive and expensive surgery more for you than for her. I think that's a fair statement on your part. There's a simple fact that remains, and you said it yourself, "we outlive...

    1966 "Playboy Pink" Mustang Convertible

    Nice story. Great car, but uuugggly! However, nice pink detail work in the engine compartment. Looks like the aluminum engine components have oxidized some which is typical of bare aluminum. What kind of dressing did you use on the hoses, battery, and radiator?

    Rinseless Wash - how dirty will you go?

    pdqgp, I'd like to see you post a video of your process. I like what is written, but I'd like to see it in action. How do you feel about skipping the use of all the towels and simply using Ultra Soft Microfiber Rinseless Wash Mitt and a rinse bucket for your mitt with a couple of grit guards...
