Here is an older post by Mike Philips regarding handles and DA polishers. Handle? Or No Handle? - Using DA Polishers Without the Handle

2.) Don't take calls at your day job. If the day job pays the mortgage, taxes and puts food on the table, that should be your focus! Let the calls go to VM, If you were a full time detailer you'd be busy on cars and not be answering calls all day. Set a side a time to call people back later in...

I'm one of the few who do not object to California dusters but as you said it's antiquated. A microfiber alone should not be used that is why most use a waterless wash with polymers or some type of QD with the micro to help encapsulate the dirt. Here is a Mike Philips video using Optimum's...

Applied High Gloss to both the straight black Acura and the gray flake Pacifica last weekend, both had Wolfgang Coating. The Acura streaked, blamed that on myself for using to much product. Used Wolfgang detail spritz to remove, will attack next week after next washing. Used High Gloss...

Fantastic job! Can't believe someone actually got in and drove that thing. Judging by the crayon marks on the back door let there kids in it also.

Not a 50/50 but a real nice write up by 512detail on the sister site. Polish Angel meets Pitch Black Hellcat

Learning how to properly correct paint, what to do and what not to do was the most beneficial thing I have learned. When I joined the only paint correction method I knew was the Kevin Brown method using a Porter Cable. Not a bad method but certainly not the only one. Immediately grabbed Mike's...

From the Griots product description, looks like it does not like solvent based cleaners. "Note: Sprayer is not intended for use with Black Shine High Gloss Tire Spray, Chrome Wheel Cleaner, Undercarriage Spray, or liquids that contain acids or solvents." I used the Kwazar Mercury spray bottle...

Nice looking car inside and out! Repeat after me...but officer I was just keeping up with traffic.

1966 Volkswagen Bug, faded baby blue with one primer red fender. Mom had a 440 Charger so shortly after my 16th birthday the bug was in the driveway. I was told congratulates this is your car and don't even think you will get to drive the Charger.

A little of everything and everything is outstanding! Thanks for the pics, always appreciated.

Interesting it says do not tumble dry. Might take a while to air dry if it retains water.

So how did Raindance and Nu Finish work out for you? :rolleyes:

All are great suggestions, just ways to make it easier on yourself. I have a company vehicle, refer to it as my office and lunchroom so you can imagine how quickly it gets cluttered. When I get home at night will park in the driveway open the doors and do a quick once over before pulling in the...

Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Griots PFM Blackfire glass cleaner the old stuff, have not tried the reformulated yet.

Thanks for a very easy to follow article. After seeing how so many others take care of towels after coating wondered who had the best routine. Your article was EZ to follow and most important gave reasons why to follow each step. Makes perfect sense to me.

Same here, love the Hyperikon set up. Used a wireless remote to turn and put the remote near the door to the garage, eliminated the pull chain. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013F9JJ72/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Last but not least a fellow geek gave the rundown on a DIY LED...

I have had both epoxy and Racedeck tile floors. Epoxy looks better IMO but the tile has held up better than the epoxy. although that could have been an install issue with the epoxy. With tile you can do a pattern, check out some of the things people have done under galleries on the Racedeck...

Agree with everything Gav said comparing Wolfgang sealant to coating. Made the switch a year ago, sealant lasted 6 months on a garage queen, the coating looks better and is still going strong. Do have to add, for an amateur applying a coating is a lot more work than applying a sealant. WDGP...

Love the Buggati Christmas card. Merry Christmas to all!
