A good friend contacted me in to see what I could do with his new to him Conquest. I checked it out and figured it would be some neglected single stage paint that has never been detailed before. I was right! 2BM with ONR NanoSkin towel medium Layer of #7 show car glaze with oil up the paint a...

I was approached by a gentleman that wants me to detail his airplane? What is the going rate? It is a small plane so I figured it would would be worth around two trucks worth of exterior work. Any hourly rate/pricing recommendations? Also any caution I need to take when doing the plane? I...

I been having a terrible problem with a Honda Element. The lower trim of the car came out VERY blotchy and streaky. I did a really good prep trust me. So I went to recoat again and the SAME PROBLEM. The top trim is beautiful! So I have done another prep and reapplied the coating. I feel like I...

I have been using Cquartz UK for a while and I am in love with it. A local detail supply store gave a sample of this new Ceramic coating they are selling so I decided to test it head to head with UK and the results are in! I did everything the exact same way and bake time under the lamp. I was...

This car is pretty neat just because it is a split window. What really makes it unique is that it still have the ORIGINAL OWNER, and only 11 things on the car are not original. One of the non original items being the paint. It was done in 1983 with aircraft grade acrylic enamel. So the paint...

I had a gentleman contact me about doing a test spot on his M3 that he just bought to see what I could do in bringing back the paint back to life. The car arrived and I did my test spot doing a two step process and topping it off with some Dodo Juice Banana Armor. My client was amazed at how...

I am going to be polishing a 63 split window Corvette soon and I want to know if I can use Cquartz Uk on the paint. I have only used it on clear coated paint systems. I messaged the manufacture and they said it should be okay but do a test spot to make sure. I do not want to do a test spot on a...

I need to find a better one step polish for my arsenal! I use M205 with a orange CCS pad but it is just not cutting it. ( ha ha) What are your go to favorites for a single step polish to get a pretty good correction and that finishes out well? Thank you, Brian Prescott Gear Head Detailing

This car was in need for some love. I did just that! Spent hours upon hours to correct the paint. It was very difficult paint to work with, I had to give it everything I had to get it to get it to my liking. As you all know black is a beast of its own but once it is tamed it is so beautiful...

I normally do not post here to often but this correction by far was the biggest and best one I have done. Also first going for a swirl free finish on a black car. I saw this car in a parking lot and put my car on the handle and that night I had a call. Washing was 2BM with Megs Gold Class...

I met this guy through my job at O'reilly Auto Parts. He needed to get this old Ford shined back up. I only tackeld the paint with a single step polish. Method: I would polish with M105 and since the paint was so dry I would have to apply the Megs #7 and rub pretty good to get the M105 off...

I do not have enough time to order from autogeek! I need to do a one step polish on a black car just to clean it up a bit for the guy since he is not paying for the full 2-3 step polish. So I was wondering would m105 on maybe a white ccs pad be okay and not leave maring? I'm still pretty green...

I was using my CCS yellow on a hood of a Miata, and it seemed to break down rather quickly. I was only using moderate pressure and When switching pads since this one was not up to par anymore I notice the back where the pad connects to the buffer was all concaved in and didnt seem to be suck to...
