I've researched the product last week and finally got my order. I coated our 3 cars. I jumped right in with my Mustang. The car was actually clean and not swirled from the dealer detail. I did the Iron X, clay bar. Mustang pix on photobucket http://photobucket.com/LSOptiCoat Thoughts...

Just curious as to what the self life would be of this product if stored in the house a closet shielded from light? Thanks.

Ceiling is only 9 ft. However, I was watching a video on the CarPro Reload and there was link to another video of 2 guys in nl that showing them doing a full detail and applying CQuartz. They had a 3 ft scissor lift that looked really cool. Each side had a step to use when the car was up in...

It's been a while but I've finally gotten another toy that has me back into the detailing spirit. I just picked up an Ingot Silver Mustang this week. I'm going to clay bar it, then probably use a cleaner wax on it because I'm getting a clear bra put on it Tues. But looking for suggestions...

Hello, This is a second post on this problem but different topic. I picked up a car this week to do some work on. In working on the hood, after just touching the hood with a pad, it appears there are hundreds of tiny scratches all over the hood. I'm not even sure what would have caused...

Looking for tips on detecting if a car has had a lot of touch up paint I posted pix of an 08 Civic in another post. The paint was swirled really bad. I started off with a test section on the hood with SIP & Orange. It perfectly got the swirls out but upon in the section it appeard like...

I don't know if anybody else starting out has gotten frustrated when starting out. I know I did back when I started. I actually made a post in another thread about this. However yesterday, I got a new car to work on. In person it's just amazingly swirled out and looks pretty crappy. The car...

I want to learn how to get better pix of cars for when I'm selling one and to post on my website of the work I've done. I wasn't getting what I wanted out of P & S's so I decided to get a start dslr. I went with the T1i with the 18-55 & 55-200mm kit. Should be here next week. I've been...

I have seen a few threads questioning the viability of it over some other machines. I have a friend who works for Festool and he let me borrow it for a weekend. I had a red mustang fender I tested it on. I was going to do up pix, side by side comparison etc. However, I've practiced so much...

Getting up to speed with Silverlight, I started working on a detailing website. The text and everything is place holder and may need corrected. However, looking for input on the picture display on the main page as well as on the Our Work page. TrickDetailing Thanks in advance. P.S...

I know there have been threads talking about this and I've followed them and a lot of times, I see either, try this product. Or try this product or pad. Even having those doesn't necessarily get you exactly to the point as the really good jobs we get to see in the show and shine section. For...

I've seen a few threads asking about this machine and I have a friend who is a sales rep. I called him tonight to ask about this machine and if I could demo one. As luck has it, he actually owns one and indicated he'd let me borrow it. I own a Flex 3401 & Flex 3403 and access to a new PC XP I...

For kicks I've been kicking around getting some kind of vehicle to possibly show. The thinking is competition in doing new things to it and finding out what others do. I've never really been to a car show so I'm starting from square one. Starting out, I'm not getting a high car as I may want...

Waxes quality versus hype Preface, this thread wasn't started to create a knock down, drag out war of opinions. I know how to test etc and have spent a lot of money buying products to test and part of this thread to educate others down the road and take what I've found so far, start a...

Hello, I've researched this in several different places and called a leather store but thought it wouldn't hurt to post on here. I detailed a car the other day and part of the process was cleaning and then conditioning the leather. The leather was fairly dirty with a black residue on it. I...

Hello, First this is just an opinion to start a discussion. Hopefully others will add their opinions to and maybe at the end we possibly come up ways to improve certain types of posts. Myself included we all are experimenting and posting our results with pix, what we used, how we did it etc...

Working on a black accord. The scratches behind the door handles is really bad. I've got 4" pads but can get in behind the door. Curious as to how everyone tackles this problem.

Hello, Working on a friends accord and the wheels are just so nasty. I've got several products and been trying Megs Super Degreaser & APC+ undiluted and just not working. I had to get out a brillo pad to get the grime off a wheel. After 15 minutes on a wheel I remembered a neighbor had Hot...

Foam Cannon HD rocks Just wanted to post, I got my Foam gun for my pressure washer last week and tried it out this weekend. I used the sample DP bottle that came with it. I only used 1 oz and 4oz of water. My black car was white. It looked like I sprayed shaving cream on the car. A gentle...
