Brother questioned my skills

I have no M2105 and M205 on hand as of now. I want to get them within the next two months. I have a few different compounds and polishes. As of now CG, Menzerna, and HD. I do not compound cars every day. As of now I don't want to fork out the money when I feel I have plenty to work with right now. These products go a long way when your a weekend detailer. I can say I have been lucky that these different combos have worked so far. Don't get me wrong though I want to try the infamous combo of M105 and M205.

Like always suggested around the forum. I did a small test spot on the hood and it worked out. I used the different combo brand, just because I like to try different things and see if they work. Trust me though mixing different brands have not always yielded the results I wanted. Simply me experimentating.

I also have V34 and V32 in the CG line, but I always do the least aggressive test like the pros mention. Luckily I did not have to go any more aggressive. I actually tried the white pad first with the V36 and it did not give me the results I wanted, so I switched to the more aggressive pad. And boom.

I am not a pro but feel I am putting some effort in a passion I discovered two years ago. My next polisher will be a Flex DA. I have tried my buddies and definately saw better results. (Meaning faster and more torque).

If you have passion for this stuff it is seriously addicting. That just might be my OCD of wanting to make the paint perfect every time I see some swirled/scratched paint.

Sorry for the long response. LOL

I love doing that to friend's cars.

But sometimes I will just do a 2ft round spot. That really draws attention to itself.

And they always come back to get the rest of the car corrected.:buffing:

Great work and even better working with you have. I think you have made two of the best statements in detailing..

Let me Quote you "

"These products go a long way when your a weekend detailer.. " END QUOTE

SO many people that Detail for money forget to work with what they have first and find something that works within reason. Until you reach some financial goal, stay with what you have until you are ready to grow. You business will dictate that. Great Job!!

Yes, I like Menzerna and Collinite, both are great products. I will get me some M105 and M205 with some MF pads. I want to try this combo. Like I said before though, this passion can get costly for me as I only do jobs on the weekends and have my primary income on the weekdays.
AG has many great products. My opinion is to take your time and make sure you try the products in different scenarios before you start purchasing all kinds of different product. And don't forget to use proper technique. This is a must. Practice makes perfect my friend. Lets just say I bought numerous hoods.

I totally agree with you! I made the mistake at first, bought some compounds and polishes and used it two times, then I thought I got this and went to buy more. Not realizing I did not use the first product on different scenario's and paints. I found that getting proper technique was key with different combinations of pads, polishes, and compounds. I am still learning how to use what I have and testing all the time.

Thank you for the nice complements!
