    New Ford Taurus B-Pillar Protection

    Just did a swirl removal on all pillars of a 2014 explorer. I just used v38 from CG and a white hex logic pad (light cut), worked great and swirl free. And yes somehow they were a mess and the car had 800 miles on it. You won't need much to correct them as they are super soft.

    Rupes with Microfiber cutting and foam finishing

    Alright all you geeks, here is another Rupes post. Haven't pulled the trigger on my Rupes 15 yet but wanted to talk about pads for it. I recently went to 5" pads on my DA and I asked myself why I didn't do that sooner. Love 5". So, I got about 5 black ops microfiber cutting pads from CG and am...

    Potential client, but ideas/help needed

    Detailing is a Luxury and for it to be done the right way is important. You don't want to get half way through and think "man I'm losing a lot of money." Thats when you start rushing and thats the worst thing you can do. Yes you want to give them a deal but you don't want to sell yourself...

    Wheel well

    I use silk shine by CG. Its water based and doesn't get all caked up. Its cheap and Most times I spray and don't have to wipe. The shine lasts a good while too. I can't get hyper dressing here in Hawaii but I would probably love that stuff.

    Favorite one step polish

    V34 does not finish well compared to v36. v36 is a strong polish whereas 34 is considered a hybrid compound. I worked with 205 two times and both times started with 105. Results were epic. I would say 205 has less cut than 36 and thus finishes better. V38 has less cut than 205 but if there were...

    What do you guys think? Chemical Guys LCD

    Ha, I saw this today as well. Thought it was kind of cheesy. I mean yeah it works this way. You could clean it the same with just water and 2 microfibers or 1 microfiber with a dry side, maybe you would need a detail brush if the car is bad to get dust and crud out of corners of screen. No hate...

    New McCulloch MC1385 Steamer?

    BUMP! I bought this machine and it came in today. I love it and only used it for about 20 mins. I cleaned things in my truck that I have never cleaned before. I always look in crevasses in every car and clean and wish I had a steamer. No more wishing now. :nomore: So far I am really impressed...
