I'm kind of stuck and can't make up my mind. The car in question is a 14 black Mercedes. Paint was corrected 5 months ago, the hood roof and trunk now have beaded water spots from what I'm assuming is rain since there is no spotting on both sides. Would you go out and buy 3D eraser or any...

I have a Ridgid 4050 for about 8 years now and still using the hose that came with it. Between the cord length and hose length, I always find my self stretching to the max distance from the outlet to get the job done. It's worked around the issue all this time but the time to upgrade is overdue...

Looking for a polisher to compliment my Flex 3401, a good 1 2 punch. Recently I started to take on jobs from people who friends and family have referred and want to deliver the best results. Also if for whatever reason the flex goes out mid way, nice to have something to fall back on. 2 is 1...

It has been over a year since I did any paint correction on this car. It's my daily driver, always parked outdoors, washed every 2 weeks and waxed every 2 months or so. The paint overall wasn't in bad shape but needed to be clayed and since I was at it, why not hit it with some HD Speed. This...

I ordered 3 LC Hybrid Wool pads for my Flex 3401. I have a detail coming up on a 03 Silver Mercedes (not Ceramic Clear) this car has heavy swirls and I'm anticipating the orange hybrid will not be enough to get the best correction. Any advice on any issues a person who has only used foam pads...

After spending the past few weeks debating between a steamer and extractor and whar to purchase first, I decided I can get more done with a steamer. Doing a few quick online searches, I have came across alot of options. Which do you all recommend? I'm looking for a steamer that is reliable and...

Just got done with this Silver 04 Towncar. The car overall was not in bad shape. The owner took care of it by having it washed every 1-2 weeks but that's as far as it went. I tried to get some before shots but I couldn't capture the defects with my phone camera. It had alot of swirls/light...

Which one do I get first and which brand? I've always been a firm believer of buy once cry once, however I dont want to buy somthing thats going to be a overkill. When I started detailing a month ago, my intention was only to work on my cars. Recently Ive been having more and more people ask me...

I completed my 3rd detail this past weekend on a 08 Lexus GX470. Unfortunately I didn't get any good shots of the before but this Lexus was a swirled out mess with alot of water spots all around. According to the owner, the SUV has only seen a drive thru car wash once a month in the past 2...

How many times can I reuse my LC Foam Hybrid pads. I recently used them on a Tahoe (2 weeks ago) and Lexus GX470 (last weekend). I noticed the orange and blue pads are much easier to clean out vs the white pads. The white pads leave behind what I believe is a purple/pink stain from the polish...
