You can remove holograms by hand but man, your arms and shoulders are going to get one heck of a work out. You could be really sore the next day. I am guessing you are wanting to avoid buying an expensive polisher? If that is your reason for wanting to do it by hand, maybe consider getting a...

I didn't realize 4.3 cfm would be enough to power an impact wrench. If so, my Dewalt with 6.2 cfm should do great. May have to swing by Harbor Freight/Home Depot/Lowes/etc..

Up here in Louisville, the home owners out in Shively are having the same issue with the Distilleries out in that part of the county. They are always having to pay to have people's homes pressure washed and scrubbed. Bourbon is so incredibly profitable right now, they probably just look at it...

The first time I used Megs 101 on a wool pad and it did remove the water spots. Another time, it did not. All it can guess is that the second time, the water spots were worse and/or had been on the glass longer and therefore had etched deeper than Meg 101 could do much about. So, I would...

I have always been the type to just add a few ounces of APC into my foam cannon along with whatever PH neutral soap I am using. Will Bilt Hamber Touchless noticeably out perform the PH neutral soap + APC combo?

I wonder how P&S's Undressed would have done?

Worse customer in that they want you to work for almost no pay or worse customer in that getting payment out of them dang near requires highing Quido to collect it?

Have you ever used Gyeon Can Coat? Curious how it and Cquartz Lite compare to each other.

For those who have been using it for several months now, are you seeing much of a durability increase over the original? Or is most of the improvement application?

The more I use Meg Hyperwash, the more I like it. Add to the fact that I can stop by Habor Freight and grab a gallon for 30 dollars makes it even better.

It is funny how many really good detailers (you being one) disagree on when coatings are ideal. Case in point, some detailers assert FOR coating for cars not cared for very well because A) a coating can hold up to the harsh chemicals some automated car washes use that would degrade waxes and...

I tried Bead Maker, it has been good so far.

Reconditioning is a term I hear a lot of detailers use for quick clean and shine details. My guess is they wash the paint and give it a quick over with an All-in-One the probably has fillers in it. I am guessing something like Car Pro Essence? Not really sure which product they use. Does...

When polishing paint I am not familiar with, and the marring on the paint isn't too bad, I start with polish on polishing pad on my test spot. For example Meguiars 210 on Lake Country White Pad. If that makes an improvement but I need a little more, I will step up to a compound like Meguiars...

DIY Ceramic Gloss does not get the type of durability of Optiseal does it?

With waxes, I usually use Optimum Spray Wax. With sealants, Bead Maker more often than not. When those run out, not sure what I will use.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't given much thought to the angled woolie, may have to give them a look.

For some types of wheels, I try to avoid using nylon barrel brushes, atleast if I can, depending on how bad the barrels are. For bad wheels, sometimes I need my EZ nylon brushes. The softer wheel barrel brush I have been using for several years is pretty worn out and due for replacement. For...

What type of durability are you getting with Jescar Ultra Lock Plus? I was just talking to a detailer who mentioned he uses Jescar Ultra Lock Plus as protection on all of his clients who chose not to get a coating. He said it is not quite at durable as Finish Kare 1000P but makes up for that...

I will make up a strong bucket mix of warm water (not at the point of being hot but close, basically as hot as you thing the adhesive on the pad will tolerate) with a pretty good amount of Megs Super Degreaser (Super Clean may also work) and will dunk the applicator/pad in and squeeze and...
