Just popping in to say hey to some old timers. Looks like Mike is still in the house. Sweet!!! Man it has been awhile since smelling the compound and polish in this place and I have missed it. Devil tried to take me out, but it is good to be among the living, the blessed, and among some old...

Currently there's 2-2bulb 4ft. fluorescence installed above the work bench in a 24X36 garage...could be 30x36. I honestly haven't measured it. There's also 5 incandescent bulbs, soft white. Obviously, there's not enough light. I hate the yellow look of the soft whites and the look of the...

I thought this stuff was discontinued a long time ago!?! Anyone have any info? I seen some for sale some place and the above question came to mind. Seems like I recall Mike Phillips talking about another Meg's product with a lot of polishing oils in like M7...he may have even mentioned...

Makita BO6050J Polisher It would be sweet if it were possible to get smaller backing plates for this machine to accommodate 3"-5.5" inch pads...especially 3"-4" inch pads. If that could happen, then with this tool alone...and especially those who also own 3401's... you would have 2 work horses...

Since Mike Phillips got so busy with other projects and television it seems to me like the traffic on this forum has slowed to a crawl. I've had that feeling for quite a while now and I log-in this evening to find a span of over an hour went by where no one posted at all. The two posts above...

You have a pm.

Some folks neglect the tops of suv's, vans, trucks, because they can't reach them. They need special tools like walk platforms, ladders, etc., if they have a topper on their truck. What if they don't have those tools ( I do ), and won't buy them? There are quality boar's hair brushes...

I've been away from the forum for a while and when I came back there's been some changes to the forum page look. I started reading threads and lo-and-behold I discovered I'd skipped over links in threads because the type color for the links matches the type color in the threads. The type link...

Anyone dealt with this. Seems to be popping up only when visiting this site.

FK425 is describes as a quick detailer. I realize I can use products in any way I choose, but... ...can FK425 be used like Optimum Car Wax, D156, DG Aquawax and get similar results like beading and similar longevity?

Those who may have had the opportunity to use many of these products... How would the following products rank in terms of longevity? Ideally minimum paint washing/touching and no toppings, or all factors being equal. Rank them! Meguiars Ultimate Paste Wax, Meguiar's car wax, best car wax...

I just opened what I thought was a new bottle, a bottle I bought a few months ago from the local auto parts store. How thin is this stuff supposed to be? I shook it vigorously several times for a couple minutes each with no change. My bottle of 501, you can open the bottle and tip it to apply...

I prefer detailing inside 100%. I'm working on black paint and this time of year here in part of the farm belt detailing can certainly try your patience. Of course, black paint on a daily driver will do that too even without bean fibers falling like rain. Re-polished my black hood last night...

Mike, I must have missed this and if I did I'm not sure how it happened since I frequently visit the forum. Is this book Mike Phillips’ The Complete Guide to a Show Car Shine Paperback Book a replacement, or 2nd addition, to the book with the yellow banner that I got from you in Evansville...

I have Ultima and Optimum (second to last version). I've yet to use the Ultima...haven't used all the Optimum yet. With a good wash, decontaminate chemically and mechanically... I have a question for those who have tried all the WOWA products PBMG sells: Who makes the longest lasting...

One of the things Mike Phillips so often recommends when starting either a full-time or part-time detailing business is to start a Facebook page. I can certainly see where that could be of benefit. However, I am currently not a Facebook user mainly because I don't want/need drama in my life...

I've noticed several threads started lately where someone is doing correction work with compound on a vehicle, then they proceed to follow the compound by a cleaner wax, usually HD Speed is what I am seeing. Now the results I'm seeing look spectacular on my computer screen and they probably...

I've copied and pasted a comment from another thread that you made and I hope that I haven't taken those comments too far out of context, but they did spur a little question that I'd like to ask you. Here's the quote, and if I've taken it out of context, then I apologize. It seems these...

I'm tired of clay. I have a few Hi-Tech foam blocks, but haven't used them much. My main purpose isn't to necessarily speed up the decontamination process, well it's that too, but to speed up my process as well. I can't make up my mind which would serve me better, the discs or the...
