Up to how many layers can you do until it doesn't provide anything further? 2 layers, 3? Also when you let it dry 12 hours and do another layer what would be the best way to prep the dusty or slightly dirty surface from an outdoor vehicle before applying the next layer?

I wasn't able to make it to SEMA unfortunately this year, but for those of you that did go to SEMA 2014, please share which detailing products you saw that you think really impressed you the absolute MOST.

For those of you that ever work on classic cars or muscle cars I'm sure you deal with all types of paint jobs, single stages, two stages, soft paints, hard coats...etc. So with that said, I have the nanoskin clay hand mitt in addtition to the traditional Meguiars clay as well as the pinnacle...

Never tried collinite before... I've only used like mothers and the other blue little can metal polish for aluminum. Both ok I guess but still wanted something a bit more effective than the mothers aluminum polish. Is collinite an OTC product or no?

So what do you all find is the most effective and best product for polishing all that aluminum under the hood when working on older cars? Which products are usually the most effective when doing motor parts like intake manifolds, aluminum valve covers and everything else that could use a nice...

I had asked another question about these coatings in another thread but didn't really get too much response yet. How does this more expenive Optimum product of only 10cc for $59.99 Optimum Paint Coating stack up to the Detailers brand paint coating of 4 oz for $49.99 Detailer’s Paint Coating...

Ok thanks Setec. Just looked it up right now. Optimum Paint Coating For the price though of $59.99 you only get 10cc? How many cars can you get out of only 10cc? I noticed for $10 cheaper the Detailers brand coating is 4 oz. Detailer’s Paint Coating, nano paint sealant, ceramic paint...

Just curious to see how many out there clay bar the glass in addition to the paint when doing a detail job for a customer? Also do you put any type of protective product or wax over the glass if you are one that does in fact clay it? Thanks

That sounds like a good combination. Which machine are you using when doing this? Also in which case do you finish off your PF2500 with SF4000 vs. SF4500? I have both. Very true, especially when some clear coats can be softer vs harder ones like BMW and Mercedes. So would a white pad be the...

To start, I first have been looking into testing sealers (such as the Wolfgang 3.0) in comparison to the polymer waxes such as the optimum spray wax. Now however, after much reading... and reading... and reading so much here at autogeek, I recently started contemplating the idea of exploring...

With the Menzerna Power Finish (PF 2500) 1-step what speed do you guys usually run it on with either a white vs orange pad on which Machine? I have a porter cable 7424xp & a Flex 3401 VRG. The Flex is probably the better option for this 1-step you all think? I usually use the porter cable for...

Yes thats always the search is finding what yields the same results without paying a higher amount so you actually can make some money from all your hard work. I have quite a few lubes just like many other detailers here and the meguiars last touch I have always used as my clay lubricant with...

Good review on the opti-seal

Wow it did that much better than the M105 with a microfiber pad? Other than wool pads I had thought the MF pads would be more aggressive for defect removal but thats pretty cool you were able to do it with FG400 and Lake Country orange. For the defects on that Mercedes at what speed were you...

Cool Mike! Let us know the results with some photos too please :)

Wow interesting I didn't know Menzerna was coming out with an AIO. Great decision on their part. Just did an AG search is this the one you are referring to? Menzerna Power Finish PO 203, one step polish, swirl remover, finishing polish, car polish, german car polish, menzerna polishing...

Great advice allenk4 thanks. I've actually been using the Meguiars hyper dressing as well for wheel wells but the DLUX sounds like a great new option for longer lasting results. I currently have the meguiars APC, that should work just as well as the totally awesome and the Detailers cleanse-all...

Thanks for the info. Since you have been in the detailing business for many years, from what you've seen personally, what in most cases is the usual policy "most" detailers need overall?

Ok I'll keep working on more quotes like you suggest. I've called a few large name insurances already and some of them are like you want what, huh, who??? I just have to find people that know what I'm talking about the second I ask them or they are probably not a good option to begin with...
