For those that had changed your power cord for the makita, did you guys take off that part closest to the handle? The stiff rubber part that the end of the wires stick through before entering the machine? If you kept it, how did you guys pull it through?

This car was a blast to do. The owner of this car is very meticulous about his car, and wanted me to work on the car before my 3 month tour of Asia. I can see why, the paint is still original and it's the 15th anniversary edition. It was a single stage red paint, and he wanted it perfected...

First off the Audi: This is probably the 2nd 2010 S4 available that I know of in Berkeley. New 2010 uses a V6 Supercharged engine. It's a monster. Just recently had the tints done and exhaust refined. Also, my CG Jet Seal and EZ Cream came! Exterior: ONR Wash Megs Apc ZEP Windows...

I know Snap On makes one of the best mech tools, but i'm not sure about their pressure washer. Anyone tried this? I'm not sure what motors they had, i didn't have time to inspect it. All i saw was that it was sturdy (compared to the karcher) and it had a detergent tank. Would you guys use the...

If you guys have any videos of you polishing the car, please upload to help out he forum members... like me :). THX!

Ok, so I finally got to use the PO106FA on a detail today... my experience (chime in if you had different). PO106FA Looks the same as PO106FF. If you put them next to each other side by side, they probably look the same. However, PO106FF might look a little bit more runny. Cut: They...

This car was sent to the body shop to get the front half of the car done due to an accident I believe, or was it just because it had a lot of rock chips. I don't remember, however, the body shop did a great job on the paint (very soft) but still left some marring behind. However, the original...

So the car was swirled up again... but this time I didn't have time to clean it up. It was a quick "Make the car look as best as it can until next time". Process: Wash w/ NXT and Gilmore Clay (there was a huge scuff mark from another car on the rear bumper) ClearKote RMG Megs #26 Wax...

When the owner contacted me and told me it was an M3, I was pretty excited. I love m3's as I own one myself. Great car. It was only 40k miles for an 02 and was basically a garage queen. He wanted a full correction and an engine bay wash. Engine Bay: Pressure Wash (Rinse) Meg's APC +...

So the owner of this car is getting rid of it after having it for a couple of months to buy an X5... yeah I know, but its for work purposes. Anyways, great looking car, pretty new, but had swirls over the car already. I was just told to clean it up so it looked pristine to sell. Process...

Does anyone have an extra ONR bottle that they're about to use up?

Hey guys, We just picked up a Mercedes GL 550. It has the new "Etch Leather" as they call it. What products do you normally use on those leather, or any high end leather care. I have leatherique and PB Leather Stuff at this moment. I just need something to maintain and UV protect it at this...

Another one of my clients who I've worked with lately. I had a friend help me out on this one. This car was pretty beaten up as it just went through a cross country trip and the front clear bra had been taken off. I would start with my rotary and my friend followed me with a PC. The owner also...

This belongs to the same owner of the G35 sedan. I went there early in the morning and the clouds were out so that's why you weren't able to see all of the dirt on the car. However, you can see a big difference after the car has been washed and taken to the sun, which came out later in the...

The owner just moved into town and wanted the car washed (it's been a month). I thought it looked pretty good until I started washing the car. The car was filthy, take a look at the ONR solution. I used a 2 bucket method with the ONR and the rinse bucket was dirty. Overall, there were no swirls...
