I have had the same thing happen to me while using the 3M Perfect-it series products. Wash told my lungs had been inflamed and it felt like a really bad case of bronchitis in which I was down for 2 days and felt terible. After that I have always used a mask it was one of those days where I was...

If your budget is $50.00 then look at AMAZON.COM as I did in making my purchase of a Porter Cable DA polisher and a 6.5 hook & loop backing plate and then there was a deal on Lake County foam pads 6 total which encompass what ever you could want in a polishing pad assortment. Also I did get some...

I can understand your frustration but your missing one important thing. When work comes your way you should take it. Do not be choosey and also take the intuitive to do something like take on a used car dealer. Yes it might not be what you wanted but it is work and that means cash and you never...

Well if you want to pay for something like that that's fine but your paying for something that is really kind of a paint sealant type material. There are better products on the market and this is so over priced and "Hyped" Tell your buddy to save his money and if he wants his truck to be...

Anything YOU DO to try to make this situation better just isn't going to work. Why in the world would you want to drag it out on any social media or web page or service? The way I see it yes you bent over backwards to please and also show your customer where she really needed to have her vehicle...

It is a good idea to use a respirator. I was using the 3M Perfect it polishes on a vehicle and inhaled the dust created by these 2 products and it made me very ILL, Like a bad cold and I was down for 2 days as I was told my lungs had been inflamed with this dust and I should have worn a...

I can understand your predicament but I have been there, I started my own business in the late 70's and my main focus became the rental and leasing fleets. There is a lot of work there if your willing to do things for a price and remember it is about the total amount called "Volume" at a low...

Hello, I am new to this site only as I don't spend the time on it unless I am looking for something that well I haven't used. In your search for chemical(s) for production shop or just a very good basic cleaners and polishes and waxes you should try looking at the PROWAX Line @ Prowax.com I...

I remember when you didn't have these products and most clean-up or detailing materials were from the bodyshop lines as in compounds like TigerKut and Kitten Wax or Liquid Ebony (great for removing swirl marks). But it was very limited. And you can forget UV dressings as everything was a...

May I ask what the big deal is with using clay? I never use it but pre-clean with solvent and a pre-cleaner while buffing the car for the first time. Then or depending on the paint's condition is weather it is to be compounded and then final polished. I use 3M's Perfect it system and also...

Have any of you ever tried a solvent cleaner? There is one solvent cleaner which I have used to remove overspray and that really annoying road paint. I have had a customer run a freshly detailed Z06 through yellow stripes that were just painted. This product has been fail safe for me through...

I got my start by working with Hertz Rent A Car as they were having a bodyshop do their cars and they knew me from that. I had graduated from high school (1977) and while I was in high school my father cleaned and detailed cars and taught me, that was in 1974. In all I had a 16 gallon shop wet &...

Hello Jean, In reading your post I am also looking for a DA polisher as I am still using a Milwaukee 2800 rpm buffer and have used these for the past 35 years. In your quest as in mine I have looked at several and have asked about the difference in them and I am looking at the Porter Cable...

I remember washing and waxing my mom's '58 Edsel Bermuda wagon. It took several hours to wax and also apply chrome polish as there was a ton of chrome on that horse-collar grill and bumper. It was 1969 when we bought that and I remember it well . . . Turtle wax . . . Good times they were .

Well to do this they are running what is a "Production" Shop and I have run one and everything is laid out and there are people who do the wet area and interior application and the detailer who does the buffing and waxing of the vehicle. In our shop we would run out the door each week 100...

The price your charging is higher than most people would want to pay. I am not saying that your over priced but the law of supply and demand as I have seen will only tolerate a lower price. Yes doing all of that to a vehicle is worth it as I do cars for broker who deals in collector cars from...

Yes That's the one, I have used these for many many years and have always had good results and depending on your skill level as these I would not recommend for the beginner detailer but someone who has machine wheel experience. I have done some very beautiful automobiles and have made the...

Well, I have seen the PORTER-CABLE 7424XP 6-Inch Variable-Speed Polisher and thought it might be something that might do it as I have ready many testimonials' about it and not to much bad about it. This is what I may be looking at?

Hello everyone, I am looking at replacing my Milwaukee 2800 rpm hi-speed polisher I have been using for many years. Yes I am old school as I have been detailing since the late 70's. I have learned a lot from various teachers or should I say wholesalers who did it in order to sell their cars. I...

I was in your shoes back in the late 70's and the dealer well . . Had so many cars to do that yes it was a struggle but once we got caught up they liked that I would 3 step a car and how nice they would come out. Saying this you have to sell them that quality and not quanitiy is what will make...
