    What can I use to polish up this "chrome" trim?

    Don't forget... When you correct headlights, you're removing the UV protection that is currently on there. Faded or not. Once you've achieved the results you're after, you need to REAPPLY a UV protectant. Otherwise they will discolor again and become hazy.

    Thank you everyone!!! Just Ordered The Flex 3401 [emoji4]

    Perfect setup right there. Orange/white/black is all you really need for now. FG400/SF3500 is a great combo. Might want to pick up an AIO (HDSpeed) for a 1 step, but other than that, congratulations!

    HD Speed w/3401 - Satisfied customer :)

    This is my go to combo 90% of the time. If I don't need as much cut, I'll roll HDSpeed with a white CCS. Top with poxy if you want an added layer of protection, but it's totally not needed as HDSpeed is a perfect AIO. What speed did you run and how many passes? Looks great!

    Help! Audi A8

    A rotary has a fairly large learning curve. You can pick up a DA, with some youtube learning, and be ready to polish your paint in a matter of a day or so. My .02. Both take time behind the machine to get better, but I feel a DA is much more forgiving.

    AIO VS 1-Step services

    That's an interesting aspect you state here. Not by any means meaning this in a negative connotation; you provide an AIO with, say, a finishing pad (white ccs perhaps), for $X, and then a 1 step paint correction with an AIO + cutting pad (say orange CCS) starting at $450? I really kind of like this.

    HD Adapt

    I love HDAdapt personally. However, I've been messing with M105/M205 more and more. Just be sure if you're using 1 or 2 pads, that they're not becoming over loaded. Be sure to blow out the pads, or clean them on the fly, to ensure that's not happening. You'll eventually get enough build up in/on...

    HD Speed Topping Question

    I don't top it as it's an AIO, but I have seen many people do so.

    Should I rebrand my business??

    You've just answered your own question. Business 101, find a DEMOGRAPHIC. Serve that demographic. THOSE are the people who are paying YOU to do what you do! Who cares what people think of a logo. Who cares what the business card says. under promise, and over deliver. PERIOD. A good mentor of...

    Company logo

    Fivver is a great place to start out. It's usually pretty cheap, but I'd REALLY suggest this guy on facebook. His work is a tad more expensive (I was quoted $250 including full identity pack: business cards, letterhead, envelopes, folder design) His name is Wziel Metz. His work is phenomenal...

    Rags to Riches

    Permanent marker in the corner would work. IE: "I" for Interior. "E" for exterior. "W" for Wheels. Etc. Just another thought if you don't color code them already. I color code mine, and the blues are interior, yellows are exterior. Grey's are for wheels, and dark grey are for emblems and exhausts.

    Marketing for Pre-Cold Weather

    Absolutely. Education is my biggest investment. The more I can educate my clients, the better off they are, and the more business I receive. Educate your clients on the difference between what each package offers. LISTEN to what your clients want. THEN educate them on what providing "this" or...

    GRIOT'S 3 inch orbital buffer

    This question has been answered 100,000 times, but I'll answer it again :) The 3" polisher is incredibly under powered. People ask all the time if it's worth the investment, and frankly, no. You can get the pillars done by taping off the seals and the glass. No real need for a 3" polisher for...

    Recommendations for Mercedes E-Class

    You can argue with them, but they most likely won't do anything about it. I went around and around with them. I sat at the dealership for 8 hours when I purchased. I called before I even got there (hour drive), and told them I will be there with cash in hand, to have the vehicle outside and...

    Recommendations for Mercedes E-Class

    The VIN plate with have a "CXXX" on it. For instance, "C650" is calcite white. The C indicates it is ceramiclear. Have fun arguing with them about detailing your car. I insisted that they not touch mine when I picked it up, and I threatened to not purchase the vehicle if they did "detail" it...

    Detailing advertising?

    I think I spent $39 the first week I used FB ads and had over 14k impressions. Meaning, 14k people in my area saw my ad. Of those 14k, significantly less actually clicked my add; around the 1k mark, but the impression is what matters to me. From there, they'll google search, see my page, click...
