    Is there a difference?

    I was just curious if there was a discernible difference between HD UNO and HD UNO PRO. I'm interested in trying UNO out and wanted to see if I needed to purchase both or just the smaller bottle that's currently available. Thanks in advance!

    Polishing Aluminum... A Lot Of It

    Ok, so I'm done with the paint of the race car trailer that I've been working on and all that remains is polishing the aluminum wheels and aluminum trim surrounding the trailer. Most of us are used to polishing only small portions of aluminum on most vehicles but what about aluminum of this much...

    My First Click & Brag... Kind of...

    So yesterday I was a little bothered by the condition of our shower doors in one of the bathrooms at my parents house. So, instead of polishing cars... Yeah, you guessed it, I polished the shower doors. They were pretty nasty and you could hardly see through them at all. Anyway, my process was...

    Hmm, a Little Help Please?

    So I've had my Gilmour Foammaster II for quite some time already and I still haven't cracked it open. I think now I am finally ready to put it to use. However, through my several searches, I'm still lost as to what sort of dilution ratios I should be looking at. Some say 2 oz., some say 4 oz...

    Decently Cheap Find for Ultrafina

    Here's the catch, you have to purchase at least $50 worth of supplies from this vendor to get the UPS price of $34 a bottle of Ultrafina. Buy 2 bottles and you're set! 3M Waxes, Compounds, & Polishes It's cheapest I've found so far. Also, I thought I found the Ultrafina pad but not...

    Lc Pfw

    So I was browsing the ADS website and I realized that you can achieve a better deal for the LC PFW at ADS if you purchase 6 or more while TotL still remains the cheapest when purchasing 5 or less. Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up. I like good deals, what can I say. :up

    What's Your Ratio?

    I posted this thread in the DB forums and didn't get much of a response so was hoping I could receive a better response here. Anyway, so what's your dilution ratio for the following things? *Chemical, Solution : Water => i.e. Woolite, 10:1 - Interior cleaning: - Engine cleaning: - Wheel...

    To Wetsand or to Compound?

    So I'm thinking of purchasing some Meguiar's Unigrit wet sandpaper (probably 1500, 2000, 2500, and 3000) sometime over the summer just in case I come across some really bad cars. So what paint conditions determine whether to use wet sandpaper or to use compound on a vehicle? I'm not sure what...

    Edge 4" Foam Pads?

    So I know I've seen them around but I can't seem to find them for purchase. I'm contemplating of going with the full Edge System for both my PC and my Metabo. I still intend on keeping my 5" BP for my LC purple foamed wool if I do make the conversion but will sell my 7" Propel pads and my 3.5"...

    How Much and What to Clay?

    For those of you that detail professionally, I've always wondered how all of you (it seems) don't spend much time claying a vehicle on exterior or full details. What I'm wondering is do all of you clay the entire car wherever there is paint, if the car needs it? Or do you only do horizontal...

    Carpet & Upholstery Brushes for the PC

    Who actually has these brushes and are they truly worth the investment? I figure that I can do pretty decent jobs with my good ol' carpet & upholstery brushes and Woolite but am currently contemplating the purchase of these brushes. So are they really worth it? Anyone have pictures of their...

    New Detailer in the Milpitas Area

    Through various searches of Bay Area detailers, I stumbled upon this [url=http://www.fremontbulletin.com/local/ci_8974287article[/url].
