Here's a question I have been thinking about of late and have never tried it, on softer paints, I find that using a MF cutting pad and D300 is going to leave behind some hazing, if I follow that with D301 on a MF finishing pad, it's better, but still not where I want it it to be or should I say...

Okay, tonight the gf tells me that she played a practical joke on me, back on Oct. when we were in Tenn at Gatlinburg, she bought a gag gift that was a plastic fake scratch that you put on someone's car. I guess she was waiting for the right time to stick it on my car. I washed my car last...

Going to post pics of a detail I did this past weekend, I usually dont take the time to take pictures, but since I had a help from Paul, Aka. 2old2change after he was nice enough to come down and spend half of the day Saturday with me cutting out some of these swirls, I figured I would do a...

Hi everyone, I am detailing a new vehicle for a client today who is getting ready to take his annual migratory trip to Florida for the winter and wont return until spring. I am currently claying the vechile and will use WG Paintwork Polish Enhancer to clean the paint good. I have several...

Okay, I've been doing vehicles now every weekend since July, my Steamer which is/was a Reliable T630 stopped working and when I turned it over, I could see where the wiring got really hot and melted bottom of the unit housing. I was considering getting it up and replacing the wiring, but...

Hi all, I'm getting pretty busy of late wanting to use a fast 2 step process for DD's and still get good results and decent lasting protection. Most of these people aren't wanting to pay for a full 2 step correction and a sealant but I wanted to offer something better than just an AIO...

Okay, today at work, some "special" poeple decided to water some plants in front of my car while it was parked, someone told me my car was getting wet, so as soon as I saw it left, came home and wiped my car down opti-clean. It was just front of the car, but the spotting was there. My car had...

Hey all, Here in the last couple of months, I've been turning a lot to the DA MF correction system, the correction is great and dont have the risk of the rotary. I've used the Finishing Wax on a few vehicles now and wondereing what kind of durability I can expect? If it's not that great, then...

Anyone else finding that detailing in this heat pretty much takes the fun out of it? Here in Indiana it's supposed to get pretty hot the next few days and add in 80% dew point and it's totally miserable!

Here's a black 2008 I think GMC Siera Pickup truck I did this weekend, it's pretty hot outside and even though it's under canopy's, it can be challenging at times. You will have to excuse my pictures since I took them with my DroidX and I couldn't capture all of the scratches in the paint...

Okay, I've done 2 vehicles now with OC and one with CQuartz, all turned out really well, although on my personal vehicle the lighting wasn't great when i was trying to finish up and left a couple of high spots that I will need to rebuff, strip and reapply. I love the look and how easy they are...

Okay, a couple of months ago I detailed a white Caddy Escalade for a lady who lives here in town, her husband owns 4 Rolls Royces and wants me to detail one of them, but with the stipulation that I do all the polishing by hand, no machines. I've only seen the car from a distance and can't tell...

Hi all, I've tried PERL twice now on 2 different vehicles, one on the trim and cowl and again this weekend I tried on the mirrors, cowl, and trim of a truck I did, both times I've used it, it dried and left streaks, I had to go over it with something else. I diluted it 1:1 with water in a...

This may have been addressed before, but I haven't found the answer, is it better to remove the DA Finishing Wax as you go or use it like the traditional LSP's and come back and remove it after it has dried? Also, does the protection last longer if you let it dry? Thanks!

Just curious is anyone has heard the lastest ETA on the arrival of on the 3" DA-MF cutting pads or the Gallons of M300 and M301?

Just thought I would share some pictures I took of a 10 year old Escalade I just finished up last night. I'm pretty sure it hasn't seen wax in years, the owner is getting ready to take it to Florida for spring break and wanted it cleaned up. If she liked my work, then she has a silver BMW and...

Hello everyone, I have a question for the people who have experience with the new DA MF pads, my question is this: Since I don't have an air compressor and I know I can use a brush on the fly to clean the pads while buffing, can I use my PadWasher 2000 on the rotary after a few panels? Does...

Hey all, With all the new stuff coming out, just wondering what's on your wish/want list for 2011. I currently have the Flex 3401 and 3403, along with a PC 7428 that I only use to clean pads with due to it being so heavy, but I have been looking long and hard at the new Flex PE14, not that I...

Hi all, I was checking out the BOGO and noticed Optimum Tire shine is listed, I was wanting to get a gallon of something that is good when my Hyper Dressing runs out. I do like the tires to have a dark black look, with some shine. More important though is durability, any suggestions from...

Hello all, I am wanting to get another gallon of quick wax and out of the three I am looking at, I've used Optimum spray wax, and Meguiars Quik Wax but have never tried Duragloss Aqua Wax. Any suggestions and let me know why you like it best, also if you've ever Poly Charged it. Thanks a...
