Hi everyone, I plan on using my pc7424 throughout the sanding process of respraying my miata. The only issue is that I'm unsure as to what the throw is on the machine..which is usually indicative of what part of the process it would be used in (surface prep, priming, or finishing) when it...

The owner of this BEAUTIFUL carbon black M3 was referred to me last July by another member that has seen several of my other extensive threads. The car is his summer-only vehicle, and he left me a voicemail message stating that he had gotten his car “detailed” THREE times prior to contacting me...

I've spent a lot of time this month detailing other people's cars in the Chicagoland area; from Honda Odyssey's to EVO's (which I will make more write-ups on later), that I haven't been able to make time to keep my own WRX defect free. Last weekend I finally got the chance, and I found that...

Does anyone care to share their soap-to-water ratio for clay lube? I was planning on using CG Citrus Wash and Clear or Meg's NXT wash for the lube..but wasn't sure how much to put inside my gallon of distilled water. 1/2 oz? 1 oz? 2 oz? Thanks in advance.

As i'm getting ready to finally order my detailing supplies for upcoming spring, i've found just enough room in my budget to purchase a $100 pressure washer. As of now, i've narrowed it down to two: Pacific Hydrostar 1600psi Electric PW from Harbor Freight: Harbor Freight Tools - Quality...

I've been reading a bunch of threads regarding pad maintenance along with reviews on the Universal Pad Washer. While the pad washer is a quick and easy solution to say the least, its definitely pricey. In addition, i'm planning on getting the Flex 3401VRG DA, and have read about people that...

Hi Everyone, I posted this question in the Getting started section earlier, but i'm hoping to get more responses from this section. Please excuse me if this is the wrong section to be posting this in :o. From what I've been reading it seems as though for those that charge hourly for a detail...

Hi Everyone, From what I've been reading it seems as though for those that charge hourly for a detail, an initial paint inspection is needed to give the potential customer a quote along with a vague estimate as to how long the detail will take. My question is, what is the process used to...

As i'm starting to build my product list for the upcoming spring for detailing as a side job, one of the first things I took into consideration was the flexibility of ONR and its multiple uses, with one of them being a quick detailer. I plan on using this at the very end of a detail or wash. For...
