What are people using on their flex for the 6.5 inch force pads? This plate fit them nicely, now I have nothing! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

I was referred to a new client by an existing, long time customer to work on a few vehicles. Some may remember my California Duster post as he was a frequent user. So, I met him and looked at his new vette that was trashed by the dealer during his free wash with oil change. I quoted him a...

I have a client that currently has a 2015 Corvette and 1966 Corvette (he bought NEW) and religiously uses the duster. I worked on the new Vette and told him they aren't the best choice, however he does not want to wash the car himself, he will be doing maintenance with me for periodic washes...

I noticed a post a few days ago about the gray hybrid pad, and I was confused as there was no gray pad. Well turns out the hybrid line is changing and you have switched some things around? Gone is the hybrid wool, gone is the blue light cutting pad. Now we have a gray heavy cut and orange...

So I was chosen to perform a review on a free sample pack of the Uro-Tech pads for long throw polishers. First off, my normal polisher is a Flex with Hybrid pads. I felt it fair to test my normal setup with the Rupes/Uro-tech pads. For this detail on a new Charger police package I tested both...

I did this Vette over the weekend, one step polish and coating. Test spot with Menz 2500 and a white hybrid showed this: I proceeded to with the entire car, coat and deliver on Sunday. I get a text today saying around the rear wing the paint looks like it was sanded. I asked if it was the...

Applied leather coating after steaming and cleaning with stoner glass cleaner. Ended up with this ONE spot that yellowed.

Getting ready to do an application this weekend on a new Lincoln. Directions say to clean and remove oils before application. I have Zep citrius DP leather and vinyl cleaner and ONR. Anyone have suggestions on the best way to clean before application?

This was a job from my neighbor, basically a business trade, he does lawns and snow removal on the side, and works at a factory in town where people have been talking about my detailing and coating work. I did a trade and asked him to make sure he shows people at work and I am getting my...

Well, this is my personal car and I FINALLY got around to getting a coating on it. Before I did the coating, I wanted to get the paint to as close to perfect as I could. Its a 2012 in I believe Gloss black, so no metallic, just straight black. I've put about 40k on it, mostly highway so the...

Mid polish today, tomorrow I have surgery and I'm done for weeks. Sheared off the bolt holding the backing plate! Now what?

Chrysler 200 in for Americoat and a one step polish. Car was in pretty good shape for 100k on the odo and being a 2011. I had previously performed the same work on their Expedition and scheduled this after their SUV was done. It was a full interior and exterior job. Grabbed a few before...

I'm working on my personal ride trying to remove factory peel. I've been using CP denim pads with Menz 400. So far I'm getting great results but I'm not sure if I need to keep going. I'm going until the product is clear and it's starting to dust. Here are some pictures. How am I doing?

This Expedition came in as a coating to protect it for years to come. It was in an accident last year and has been rebuilt and they wanted to keep the outside protected since it is in such good shape for a 1997 with 100k on the clock. It came in Friday evening So I started with a wash/paint...

So I was conatcted to clean up a 1979 Mazda RX-7 Limited edition. Research shows a whole 3000 of these things were made and this one has a monsterous 30,000 miles on it. The owner says it has the ORIGINAL tires, not really sure but the stock photo does show these tires! Job was a simple...

Anyone out there do scratch repair? Not my thing and the guy is a haul away from me.

So I have this 1983 Mazda RX-7 getting dropped off tonight. I had some preconceived ideas about it, but I was wrong. Guy brought it over last night to get looked at. I figured at that age it should be single stage but I did some looking and it's either a repaint or original clear. Around the...

Up this weekend was a newer Honda CRV with a metallic brown paint which is how I can best describe it. Was in for full interior and exterior detail, no coating this time around. I was contacted from Autopia forums so thanks to them for getting me the work! Here she was at drop off: Car had...

I had also posted a question about this baby last week. Lets just say I was shocked when I got there. Job was correct and coat with Americoat. I arrived to find it had a paint protection film applied and the paint was rough. Like the dealers kid prepped with an old rotary with wool at 3000...

I posted some pics before about how to try and fix this thing. Well, I couldn't, I tried but didn't want to make things worse. Its a 62 all original with 43,xxx on it, only thing is, some guy repainted it in the garage. There were some BAD spots, don't know what they were, how they got there...
