Out of curiosity would a 1 inch pad in rotary mode burn paint faster or slower than say a flex with a 5 inch? I'm assuming it would take longer due to the rotational speed at the outer edge of a larger pad being faster than the outer edge of a 1" pad but not sure if my thinking is correct. Also...

Personally I have never had a filler work. Every time I have used something with fillers it looked the same to me after. Maybe I am using them wrong?

It's pretty much area. We are in South OC, CA. We started out much lower but as time went on we increased the prices because we were taking a lot of time and people are willing to pay it because they trust us. The Infiniti owner actually gave us 450$. Many times if we quote too low and the...

Thank's Funny thing is it was worse than is the photo's. I was having a hard time getting it all in one shot at the correct angle because it went from the fender all the way to the rear taillight. I could probably spend some time in Lightroom tweaking some adjustments way beyond the norm to...

I took a class at Meguiars on using a rotary. Even my first time I didn't butcher the panel like that. I was curious what he asked them for. I found on his review of them he said he told them "I want it to be like new, the works, cost is not a problem." Probably not the best thing to say to...

He doesn't want to deal with them. I told him to send the photos and see if he can get something back. He just said he wants to put it behind him. Total 750$ detail.

Thank you. Yea he used the photos I took to write a neg review on their site. I should have put our company name and phone number on the bottom of the photos before sending them to him lol. I have seen some bad jobs, usually just in random spots but this thing takes the cake. When we pulled up...

He called us wanted the 2 step process which would have been 550$ but when we did the test spot with the HD Speed he liked the results so we charged him 350$ and he gave us $450. He would have paid even $550 but we didn't want to charge him that since we didn't do as much work as he thought it...

Client took his Infiniti to the corner car wash/"detailer" and from what I am guessing he asked them to make it look like a Zebra. He picked it up and they had it in the shade so he didn't notice until the next day, then he called us. It's actually worse in real life. We used HD Speed with the...

Wish I had it Saturday. We did our Black Ferrari 458. So many curves I was scared to death.

I believe that will be the price for the kit. My local detail supply shop said 399-599. I can't imagine the tool alone would be over $399 though. Either way, I see it as having a lot of uses so it may be worth it. Everything from detailing small areas to brushing your teeth. Can't beat that...

We have found that XMT AIO works well on many spots. I haven't had much luck with any of the sprays designed for it. XMT 360, Rupes 21 and the yellow pad. The only way I have seen to prevent them is to wipe them off ASAP.

I agree. We actually just did a 52 Chevy Sunday. Was painted about 6 months ago and this was the first wax. It had those little rust particles everywhere. We tried every clay we had (about 5 different types) as well as the Nano towels and it wouldn't get them all. I ended up using XMT 360 and a...

Just to throw out another possibility, the black can be from the rubber moldings. I know if I even hit the sunroof rubber moldings for a second with the pad, it turns black.

We have sort of a brush addiction. We have had up to 15 different brushes in our wheel bucket. I am just not sure the names of them. We have since narrowed it down. We did try the Speed Masters and they worked nice but they lasted about 2 months before the metal got weak and it broke off by the...

Yea you just have to try a test spot with different combos until you get it where you want it. The Rupes compounds work well and I have heard some good things about the Griots creams. We have had good look with the Rupes UHS, not sure how well it works on non Rupes machines but it did an...

Yea mine hasn't broken down yet. 70k miles in 3 years. As far as detailing. I got white so I really don't see the swirls but I usually use XMT 360 and the Rupes 21 with their Yellow pad. I don't think it will remove the swirls though. I was told by a detailer before I got in the business that...

Nice. Be careful Evo's are golddiggers. They will take your money quick. It is so easy to make power it's addicting. I have a 2012. I'm at 500hp at all 4 wheels and it didn't take too much to get there. Converted to E85 and upgraded the turbo to a slightly bigger stock frame. It's amazing what...

Nice. Any major mods? What HP you at?

Here is my replacement for a girlfriend. She empties my bank account just as quick.
