    Trouble Shooting Grit Guard Pad Washer

    Afternoon all! I set up my Grit Guard Pad Washer over the weekend, and it would not pump water. I did a quick search on my phone to find a fix, saw a couple of answers, tried them without success, and didn't have time to keep working on it (two cars to do this weekend, along with two rounds of...

    Need to Replace My Rear Bumper. What Issues?

    Well, after going almost 30 years without any type of accident or ticket, I was rear ended last Sunday. It appears the only damage is a crack across the entire width of my plastic rear bumper. The other guy's insurance company is being very fair (I know I am surprised), but I believe I can do...

    How Many Cars Have You Detailed?

    I read almost every post from almost every thread on this forum. There are so many of you that have great answers and great advice. One of the things I notice is that quite a few of you know intricate details about MANY different products. I'm a bit more than a year into doing this part time...

    New to Me 2017 Chey Equinox

    Morning all, Well, my wife finally persuaded me to take the plunge and get her a new (to us) vehicle to replace her 2011 Ford Edge with almost 120,000 miles on it. Found a 2017 Chevy Equinox with 5,877 miles (that's right - four digits!). Even had the chance to see the first owner's name...

    So - How's This for a Nice Surprise?

    My wife and I were cleaning up after Christmas, and putting stuff away. Every year, she stores receipts for all the Christmas gifts in the same place, and gets rid of them when she stashes the receipts for this year. As she went through the envelope from last year, she found a paper folded up...

    Lug Nut Cover Polishing

    Mike and all, I just purchased a set of used snow tires on rims. I have been looking for a combination like this for my car for a while, and finally found the set. Snow tires appear to be new (used one + seasons), and the rims were purchased at the same time. They looked great when I got them...

    Finally Made a Decision - Got a Flex!

    Well, after hemming and hawing for at least a month, I made the call. As much as I was leaning toward the Ruppes Mille, I took the plunge and got a Flex 3401. The decision was mostly driven by an opportunity I had to purchase a used machine with less than 5 hours on it for $275.00, making my...

    Spray Ceramic Coating Side Effects

    Good morning! About 3 weeks ago, I coated my personal car using McKee's SiO2 coating. First time I've applied it to an entire car. The car came out great, with only 1 high spot that I saw too late to fix. For the last couple of weeks (not sure how long, but I have a suspicion), I have not been...

    McKee's 37 Paint Coating, or Mckee's 37 Hi Def Paint Sealant?

    OK folks, which way would you go? I have both McKee's Paint Coating (v2) and Hi Def Paint Sealant. I've used both - The paint coating only on the trunk deck lid of my black 2007 Lexus ES350 (as a test), the sealant on both the rest of the car and my wife's 2011 silver Ford Edge. I've polished...

    I didn't realize how addicted I was to these forums until they went down for a couple days. Good to have you back!

    Nick @ McKee's Just Did Me A Solid

    I shot McKee's 37's customer service folks an e-mail concerning a problem that I caused while using one of their products. The problem was completely my issue, and I was only looking for a solution I could implement. Nick responded early this morning saying he would take care of the problem. He...

    Puzzling????

    Being new to detailing for profit, I guess it shouldn't surprise me to come across something I've never seen before, but here's one I had no clue how to handle. Did an '07 Nissan Altima this weekend. it was pretty trashed in the interior. The glass, particularly, was really bad. Turned out very...

    Which "Next" Polisher

    OK, so this is my first new post since joining. I've generally been able to find answers to my questions by doing searches. But this one seems to be one for which there is a gap in the information. When I started out, I bought an off brand 6" DA. It worked fine, but I quickly realized it could...
