    Red 1997 Toyota Celica: 1-step paint correction

    Had a chance to detail friend's Bright Red 1997 Toyota Celica over the weekend. Since I only had 5 hours block of time I asked my friend to wash the car prior coming to my house so I can go straight to paint correction. :xyxthumbs: Because of the limited time and the car was going to be put on...

    Palm Polishers

    I actually have this thing just for spreading AND removing wax at night time / midnight since noise is an issue even with DA on speed 2. I can say it is pretty quiet, definitely a time saver and saves your arm. But if noise is not an issue I would choose DA over this. There was a hack I read...

    How to: make your own Wax Stick to easily apply wax to a foam pad

    Ouch! In case you use a pot/pan on the stove with this plastic bag trick, make sure the plastic bag never touch the pot/pan, otherwise the hot pot/pan might melt & puncture the plastic bag.

    How to use a one-step cleaner/wax to maximize profits

    How to differentiate DA foam pads types?

    Yes I got them from that same seller. I was confused because it feels as if they are all made from the same density foam, the only differences are just the thickness and color. :confused: Since they are not very dense they becomes much thinner when pressure is applied during use. Anyway I...

I was browsing at local supercheap auto few weeks ago and saw this DA on sale for AU$80 which was pretty cheap!
