    Rupes 15 or 21

    I'm almost sold on getting a new polisher...now it's just deciding between the flex and rupes. After pads and all the other little extras I'll probably be looking at about a $500 investment.

    Rupes 15 or 21

    I'm in the research process of a new buffer. I currently use a GG and I love the machine. There is nothing I haven't been able to do yet but I've read so much about how much faster the flex and rupes are at working around a vehicle. My detailing business is really taking off and if I can cut...

    Washing towels?

    I'm washing them with tide now. I wash my MF and cotton separate so I don't end up with fuzz balls all over my MF. I still use cotton on the rough areas like tires engine bay and so e parts of the interior.

    I probably clocked about 20 hours altogether. My GG6 work great with no issues. However I spent some time researching the flex and rupes...would either of those speed the process up? And/or is it worth the money? My business is picking up a lot and I'm thinking about making a bigger...

    The customer was speechless for the first few minutes. Then He kept shaking my hand and thanking me for my work. That is the kind of reaction that makes it all worth it...well I got paid also:)

    I never seen so many scratches on the vehicle that didn't start taking off clear coat. But the clear coat is fully intact. There were a few rids I left alone out of concern of burning through the cc.

    The wheels. I used good old never-dull with a 3" wool bonnet attached to a drill. The tires were cleaned with bleach white and topped with black magic.

    Beginning day 2. I wasn't worried about the swirls because my goal was cutting. Day 2 I used my GG6 with a course yellow pad and M105 I switched between 5 and 6 in pads was the pads got dirty.

    Since it was so bad the goal of the first pass was just to clean it up. I used the rotary buffer with a 7 inch wool pad and meguires #1 heavy cut compound. Here are some during day 1

    Need advice

    I have a customer that just bought an older truck. I haven't seen it yet but he said it was used in the oil fiddles and has a strong smell of oil in it. Do you guys have any recommendations of what to use for really strong oders? I have a steamer, steam vac, and course brushes for the carpets...

    Is this degree of orange peel typical for a new car?

    That amount of orange peal isn't bad when you consider the opposite end of the spectrum. My BMW is wet sanded and looks amazing when clean BUT trust me when I tell you that every little mar, hairline scratch, and smear shows up on it. My body shop guy tells me that the orange peal does a great...
