*Sees flashing red and blue lights in rear view mirror* Uh oh!

I find I have to shine a light at a specific angle to see if there are any spots on the windows. I shine the light almost parallel with the glass surface. That is to say at a very shallow angle. The best flashlight I have is an XM-L2 CREE based LED flashlight that uses an 18650 battery. The...

Yes using less product makes less foam and using more makes more. Also if you have hard water you need more product to make the same amount of foam compared to cleaner water. So rather than use more product you can get one of those water filters (they sell some on Autogeek) if hard water is a...

I've found over the years that killer tomatoes are very popular for attacking things in general. For example do you know anyone that hasn't heard the phrase "Attack....of the killer tomaaaatooes!" Probably not right? If so, I really don't want to know about it. Back to detailing. one thing we...

Hello from a fellow on Long Island. Your website lists your email address as [email protected] but your signature pic here lists it as [email protected]: I take it one of them is misspelled? Great website so far, good luck in your new business!:dblthumb2:

O M G. I can't blink. It's a thing of beauty. And 1100hp? Even Formula One cars better get out of it's way!

Looks great Dave! Question: Did you use adhesion promoter between the plastic and primer? I hear you need to or the paint will fall off. Maybe not needed if you still have some paint on the bumper though?

It's a lot of work to do the entire car. But it can be done.

Yes that's the one. You're welcome.

No those masks are not recommended. Get a dual cartridge respirator. I even saw them at Home Depot in the paint dept. They cost between $15-$40. Usually around $20 or $30. Definitely not something to skimp on. Also I recommend safety goggles like these Dewalts, for full coverage:

Thank you. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that you only get 1 set of teeth after the baby teeth so you should take care of them. Gotta wonder about those folks that neglect their teeth or their cars. I use a sonicare electric toothbrush, colgate tartar control toothpaste, listerine mouthwash...

I would do those by hand. If you have to sand a whole car down quickly then you probably need both 6" and 3". 6" to do the large flat panels and 3" for the smaller areas.

haha thanks man! I'm a big fan of the Junkman! Watched all your videos, learned a lot, keep it up!:dblthumb2:

I think people only use those for sanding.

Sweet lookin Camaro. Now it's protected with Opticoat 2.0, way to go! Hey maybe you'll be the one who invents Opticoat for people's teeth! Just put this stuff on and no more cavities! lol Actually there already is a sealant for teeth. I know because my dentist applied it on my molars years...

Man that behemoth sure looks shiny! I bet no one cuts him off in traffic! Am I right? lol I got to get me one of those! (The IronX not the behemoth :-), I'll wait till the Behemoth is on BOGO)

During the phone conversation. They might accuse you of user error. You might retort with: "I'm a professional, I know how to use the polisher properly, I've been doing this for over 10 years. I do 20 cars a week..." :buffing::doh::pc7424:

Actually Griot's themselves have stated that their polishers are to be used by do it yourself home use and not professional use because of all the returns. They can deny warranty if it is overused.

The Griot's is more powerful. It has a more powerful motor. Having said that, I personally chose the PC 7424XP because of it's reliability and it's powerful enough for my needs. The last thing I want is the motor to die half way through a detail. Yes the Griot's has a lifetime warranty but...

I used DP (Detailer's Pride) Trim Detailer. Detailer’s Pro Series Trim Detailer, exterior trim spray, black plastic trim spray, molding spray It worked great on my black plastic trim that had dried wax on it. Still looks brand new months later. Granted my car IS new, it's a 2011. But the...
