Exactly! The less bending over the better. I have 2 of these and use one as a bucket stand and the new one with the center hole/handle gets used to wash the top of the suv.

Home Depot has the Gorilla Ladders 20 inch Work Platform for $39.88 (regular price $74.97 - a 47% savings) again as part of their Black Friday Savings. The load capacity is 300 lb., and it folds to 3.25 in. for easy storage. I had the Werner work platform, but now have 2 Gorilla platforms, and...

I have had success placing the coating bottle inside a mason jar and storing them indoors. I have some DLUX that is over 3 years old and is still liquid.

I soak a thin MF towel in my rinesless wash and place it over the bugs for 5-10 minutes, then just wipe them off. This even works on the love bugs we get in here in Florida, and does not remove your LSP.

I have spent may hours creating programs to extract specific single payment records from these files.

I like Rupes DA Course cutting compound and coarse wool pads for headlights. It finishes out well enough that nothing extra is needed.

I tried a few of their products over 10 years ago and switched to something that worked better. I do still have some Celeste Dettaglio paste wax that I got for working (actually mostly sitting for 3 hours) in the Chemical Guys booth at Detail Fest many years ago. The 2 company reps (maybe one...

I purchased my black 2000 Frontier new and it was always outside for the 1st 10 years I owned it, getting some protection when I had the bug. I started learning here and on other detailing forums in 2010 (and I was able to park in a garage when at work), and it was properly cared for until it...

Home Depot has the Gorilla Ladders 20 inch Work Platform for $49.88 (regular price $74.97 - only a 33% savings this year) as part of their Black Friday Savings. The load capacity is 300 lb., and it folds to 3.25 in. for easy storage. I had the Werner work platform, but...

I agree that these are aggressive, but a time saver! I use the CarPro microfiber gloves for bad steering wheels - a little easier to use than a towel when you need some serous scrubbing!

"Client is selling his beloved 911. Wanted it corrected and protected for the next owner/caregiver. FULL of swirls, some heavier scratches and some etchings." That seems kind of backwards - Why pay for someone else to have a great looking shiney car!

I am with Guz on recommending the Rupes yellow wool - great pads. I have been using MF pads since Meg's brought out their MF cutting and finishing pads + the matching polishes. I spoke with Mike Pennington at a Detail Fest, and he recommended using 2 dots of M105 + 1 dot of D301(?) on a...

A detail spray is just for shine, while a spray wax will have some protection. With the advances in technology the spray waxes are lasting longer and longer. I have not tried the spray waxes you listed (I used Optimum Spray Wax as part of a rinseless wash in the past), but like what I hear...

Could be, I have the GG 6" that the PC wrench worked for, but not as thin as the GG one.

Here is the one AutoGeek sells - it will work for a GG machine: Flat Wrench

I am going to suggest a different route - start with the Rupes polishes and pads combinations, then see if you need to add other brands/products. Thier stuff is not cheap, but works great together. I started out using products from one company, and I learned more I picked all different types...

The flip side is it is finally CAR SHOW season in Florida! It is way too hot from May thru September to enjoy a full day car show, but we have plans to take the 1912 race car to a concours in the Tampa area in December. Plus lots of other shows to enjoy (hopefully Sizzle will share pics of the...

I am with Michael on this. After talking with Jason Rose at Mobile Tech Expo in early 2020 I tried the Rupes yellow wool and DA Fine compound. I was amazed at how quickly it corrected swirls, and because it stayed cool I could work a larger area + do less passes (e.g. the whole door in 2-3...

I have had good luck removing paint with XENIT cleaner.

You can do a rinseless or waterless wash on that section, then use a coating prep cleaner (I like the Otimum one) to remove anything left. Also, leaving some sections of the car unprotected for a few days is not that detrimental to the paint.
