    Black Evo X with Cquartz UK and Rupes

    So this car came in with stone chips everywhere, however I've polished this car before so it had slight car wash marring over most of the paint work and I recommended a ceramic coating for the customer. I did a 1 step with FG 400 and Meg's MF Cutting pads on the Rupes 21(This combo finishes up...

    Dust?

    What do you guys do about dust? After a nice strip wash, clay and then moving inside to do the paint correction. I always get a bunch of dust that drives me nuts and I don't want to do another wash just in case some more swirls are introduced. Trust me when I say I've found the right polish...

    Backing Plates

    So I am constantly hearing about people complaining about how hard pads are to get off of the super gripping Rupes backing plates (I don't find this)... have you guys not notice that Rupes also does a 'less grippy' backing plate? It's grey in color instead of blue. I didn't know about it either...

    DA Brush

    How many of you guys are using a DA brush attachment on carpets and interior? If so, which one? Is it worth grabbing one and does it save a lot of time? My one concern is that scrubbing dirty carpets can need a lot of pressure, will the clutch just make head stop spinning?

    A Tough S550

    This one was a pain to do. The paint on this brand new S550 is so damn tough! After the foam bath I went onto using the nanoskin clay pad on my DA but it left a lot of weird round marks on the test panel so I aborted that and went to the clay. I then started to work with an orange hex pad and...

    First Post Evo X

    Hi guys, So I'm new to forum and have started a part-time detailing business at the weekend. This customer brought me his 2013 Evo X MR. It was covered in dirt, salt and grime that was caked in pretty much everywhere and had never been detailed before. I ended up spending 12 hours on this car...
