Will a acrylic based resin coating affect the adhesion of a new clear bra. Should a coating be applied after the clear bra or is it a non issue?

Happy Canada day to all my fellow Canadians!!

I have a friend looking for a detailer in the Winnipeg area. Anyone on here? Please post up your suggestions and links to their websites. Thanks Eric

BMW M6 in Black Sapphire Metallic. Services ordered - 1 Step polish, full interior restoration and engine detail. I had inspected this vehicle a few weeks back when the owner came by for an estimate. The owner's two biggest concerns were the interior and the swirl marks including a couple...

What products have you had success with in removing engine oil spilled on carpet? Apparently a 1 liter of bottle of engine oil was spilled in the trunk of a customers car. He soaked up all that he could. I have a dupray hill injection and an extractor at my disposal. Let me know what works...

Owner called me to tell me that his son had taken his F150 off roading and that he "scratched" up the sides. I think there was more scratches than non scratched areas lol, you'll see what I mean from the photos. 　 Machine Flex 3401 Compounding M101 Tuff Buff black wool Polishing LC White CCS...

Owner contacted me and we discussed possible options and ended up deciding on a complete interior restoration plus a single step exterior polish. I polished one of these last year in the exact same colour so I pretty much knew what to expect when it came to paint correction. Interior I love...

I had completed a winter prep last fall on this car and while talking to the owner he had mentioned there was scratch on the rear quarter panel that he wanted me to look at and fix if I could. Scratch was easily removed and I decided to fix up the entire panel as the paint was a swirled mess...

I recently purchased a used unit, only had 40 hours on it to good of a deal to pass up. Anyway, unit came with no manuals and I'd like to know what I need to do to maintain it? Emptying the boiler, long term storage etc... Could anyone let me know? Can't find anything on line. Thanks

Customer contacted me the day he purchased his car to bring it in for a quick polish and wax. We had scheduled it for some time in mid August. He picked it up on a rainy Friday afternoon and it wasn't until the following sunny Monday when he drove it through a car wash did he notice what the...

There is a used unit for sale in my area. Was only used for 2 months pruchased last year. I've read on the dupray website that their warranty is only valid for the orignal owner. The price is right but no warranty scares me a little. For those with the units, how long have you had it and have...

Have always had a soft spot for the lates 80's and early 90s Japanese sports cars, supra, 300Zx, RX7 so I was pretty excited when the owner contact me about his 87 supra. Car was in amazing condition and had been repainted in Audi Black for the hood and Audi silver for the body. To say the...

Was contacted to do a one step polish for this German beauty and it was the first time a car owner admitted that his paint was in horrible condition and boy he wasn't kidding. I always get the usual "My paint isn't that horrible" oh really, let's look at it under halogen bulbs or in direct sun...

Did some research on the forum before doing this detail and the general concensus was the paint was soft on these cars. Maybe it was me but I didn't find it soft like a subaru or honda paint I'd say more in the medium range. Was still pleased on how well it corrected. flex 3401 LC Orange and...

Had a client drop this off Sunday evening for an interior detail and exterior wash only. The car was a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country, owner over the phone mentioned that it was really dirty but nothing could prepare me for what I found... I had quoted 250$ over the phone however mentioned all...

I have the usual halogen bulbs on tripods and fluro's mounted to the garage ceiling and while this works ok I was thinking/looking at having a retractable halogen worklight mounted to the ceiling. Having it mounted to ball joints would give me the flexiblity of viewing roofs, high hoods (trucks)...

Completed this correction today on this 15 year old truck. even though it was repainted 7 years ago the paint was lifeless. This was the first car I've done that was completely repainted and I found that nearly every panel required a different pad and polish combo. Anyone else seen experience...

Hey everybody... After two+ years of reading and learning from this forum I thought it was time to register and post up an intro. I live in Ontario Canada and have been detailing cars (by machine) for the last 2 years. I started out like most by doing it by hand for years and years. It wasn't...
