Great article Mike. This is why you are one of the people I have the most respect for in the detailing industry, because what you write about is what happens in the real world. As someone who was detailing for extra income and stopped this year, it has really opened my eyes. In my opinion...

I really don't see a problem with using degreaser on clear coated wheels. I always use a citrus degreaser on OEM painted wheels and I never had any issues.

I am very curious to try Menzerna FG400 myself, since I don't like working with M105, the dust and short working time just drives me nuts.

I never tried that combination. How does it compare to using D300 with the MF pads? So far in my experience I find D300 is a great product when used with the MF pads.

I find Ultimate Compound is much easier to work with and still gives good correction results in my experience. I really don't like M105 at all, it's just so much of a pain sometimes.

Absolutely agree. Nothing but BAD experiences with Rain-X and GREAT experiences with Aquapel.

Great work as always from the detailing master himself! I did not see any mention of the type of abrasives in this product. Does it have diminishing abrasives?

Re: Canadian Distributor It's possible that certain products they sell are priced slightly higher than AG. You need to look at it from a business perspective. If they are paying fees to have the products imported from the USA into Canada, then it's only normal they will charge a little more...

Re: Canadian Distributor Are you from Montreal also?

Re: Canadian Distributor I order often from eShine myself. I had a few issues having been sent the wrong items. Nobody is perfect, mistakes can happen. They took care of the problem right away, their customer service is excellent and I will continue to order from them.

I have a Flex 3401 and the same type of brush for carpets. The brush is meant for a PC style polisher with a 5/8" thread. You definitely can't attach it to a Flex.

Why not just ask the customer if you can use their bathroom? I don't think there is anything wrong with that.

Please tell me you're not doing this in the customer's car. Sitting in a car and peeing in a Gatorade bottle is obviously much more professional than politely asking the customer "may I use your bathroom." I just don't understand how people think sometimes...

It would be better to use Iron X before you clay since it can dissolve a certain amount of contamination and remove it, which will make your claying step easier and faster. I think of it this way, like your skin, car paint is porous. Iron X will remove what is deep in the pores of the paint...

What I believe is they labeled the bottles according to what grit of wetsanding scratches each polish can remove. Example: IP 2000 – Intensive Polish (PO91E) - This will remove 2000 grit scratches Does this make sense?

The Hill Injection is a beast. I tested a Tosca locally at Dupray and I was going to buy it, but my friend found me a killer deal on a used Polti Eco Pro 3000 which for my needs right now is enough. I only paid $250 locally for my Polti, however the Hill Injection is in another league for sure...

I am from Montreal, welcome to Autogeek.

I'm not really doing a 2 step. What I am doing is: Wash+Clay+Wax I just want to go over the paint quickly with a DA polisher before waxing, however if you think Optimum Polish II is good for this step, I will give it a try. I have used M205 with white LC pads, I didn't have any issues with...

Hi everyone, I am looking for a good paint cleaner that is easy to work with and can remove minor swirls as well. I use Menzerna PO203 when a client is paying for a 1 step. What I am looking for now is something I can quickly polish the car with after claying, before I wax, just to remove...

I gave this another try on my scrap headlights since I have been using Opti-Coat to finish the lights for my customers. The problem is that the urethane mix leaves the light very sticky, it's not smooth.
