Anyone have experience polishing a car that has previously been polished with Essence? Do you find that the paint responds any differently? I had great success using Essence for the first time last November on my Avalanche. I one-stepped most areas with an orange flat pad on my GG6. Took out...

Just bought a new 50' hose for my Powerworks 1700 psi pressure washer. Could use a little help in picking out the proper size connections. Take a look here at the ends of the original hose. The smaller diameter, u-shaped end on the left is the part that connects to the reel on my pressure...

So, after seeing a few of these Youtube videos a couple weeks ago, I knew I had to get a small horse hair brush for my Mytee Firebird steamer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu2VHrJVqQw Problem was Mytee does not make such an attachment and sounds like they have no plans of making any. So I...

Hi everyone. I recently got a Firebird for Christmas. Overall I'm happy with the unit but must say I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't come with a triangle head. So just wondering if there was one available elsewhere. Also would like to get a round horse hair brush as well. Hopefully...

I'm here to challenge that notion. Had some free time on my hands this weekend so I decided to throw a little experiment together. Game plan was to do a quick polish with Prima Amigo followed by a coat of Pinnacle Black Label Surface Coating. Now why would I do this you may ask. Well for...

Hey guys remember me? I was the very fortunate forum member to make the one millionth post to the Autogeek Online forum. And as a result I won a thousand dollar gift certificate to my favorite online store in the whole wide world ... Autogeek.net :D Now as much as I'd like to spend all that...

I was messing around with my new McCulloch steamer the other day. I wanted to clean the dirt in my AC vents that I can never seem to reach with a microfiber towel. And I also tried to get in between a few of my HVAC knobs. I hit both of those areas with a quick shot of steam. I did not hold the...

I scored some Opticoat in a recent trade but it was missing the blue tip. If anyone has an extra one they could send me that would help out a bunch. I would pay shipping of course. Might even be able to ship out a sample from my stash for your generosity. Thanks in advance.

Got a bunch of CQuartz Dlux left over after doing the trim on my Grand Cherokee. It did a great job restoring my faded 12 year old trim so I was thinking about using the rest on some of my interior pieces. I'm not talking about the dash or the door panels, rather the trim that runs along the...

So just happened to knock over my Kwazar mercury pro the other day. Fortunately little UWW+ was wasted, but the sprayer itself came separated from the bottle. I was able to snap the straw back into place on the sprayer and put it all back together but it doesn't spray anymore. Has anyone had...

Has anyone ever had a problem with the 3 in HT pads expanding on them? I was trying to buff out my gas tank today using the tangerine and crimson pads on my 6 in Griots DA. I had to turn the speed way down to 3-4 while polishing, anything higher than that and my pad would balloon up in size...

New guy here getting ready to tackle my first ever detail on my 2002 metallic black Grand Cherokee. I'd say overall the paint is in ok condition for a 10 year old vehicle but there is a lot of moderate swirling that I'd like to remove. I'll be buying the GG DA polisher and using a 5 inch...

Hi I'm a newbie to this forum as well as the world of detailing. Looking to buy my first random orbital sometime in the near future so I can give my 02 grand Cherokee and 04 dyna some much needed tlc.
