    What did I do wrong with Rupes Pad

    I just purchase the Rupes LHR 15 ES buffer and a set of pads. I had a detail this weekend on a white Range Rover and determined that the green pad with SIP followed by the white pad with Menzerna Micro polish gave me the correction I wanted. About half way through the initial pass with the...

    I purchase the Tacoma on August 5 and promptly went on vacation August 6th. We did not return until August 18. The Toyota color is Black Sand Pearl, a very striking black. Projects and rain stopped me from doing a full detail until this weekend. Since the car is new and there were no...

    New Car Polish Procedure Question

    Probably next weekend I will jewel the finish of my new Taco. The rear quarter panel has a clear protective film on the paint. I plan on taping up the film and not polishing the film. Would this be the correct process? I have never had a vehicle with protective film before.

This past week my sister has been at the ocean and I...

    Detailers Confessional

    This thread in no way pokes fun at any religious belief nor is it intended to. So please have an open mind as we confess our detailing purchasing sins. After taking part in this forum for over 6 months I regularly see posts about sneaking products from AG into the house without the wife, or...

    Fuzion Coats

    Is there any problem with applying a third coat of Fuzion or is it the consensus that after 2 coats you have already hit the diminished return barrier? Just curious, I have 2 coats on my car now and it has just sat in the garage due to rain all week.

    Removing Polish from a Can

    I have a few 1Z Polishes that are running low and I would like to remove them from the cans and put into plastic squeeze bottles.

    Fuzion Test on the Family Ride

    The weather was nice today so I decided to put Fuzion on top of Zaino without polishing the paint. The Zaino was applied on October 25, 2008. I will be polishing in early April. One thing today did prove is I need to polish the car this spring. I have used only Zaino on my car since I purchased...
