It's been a few years since I last posted here, back when I was a noob to detailing. Back then I had I purchased a PC 7424, some Lake Country pads, and the Optimum Compound, Polish, and Poli-Seal products. This stuff has lasted and treated me well through the years for whatever vehicle(s) I was...

I need to order some pads for my random orbital and I want to make sure I'm making the right choice as to which ones I'm ordering. The two cars I'll be doing are both older BMW's, one white and one black. I'd say the paint is in decent condition on both of them, but they're not without their...

I tried to search but I couldn't find any information or reviews. I'm on a very limited budget and I need some new pads. I came across these for quite a bit cheaper and they don't charge a million bucks to ship three pads. Anyone have any feedback or suggestions? If not these, which pad offers...

I'm about to order some pads and I see LC has a gray finessing pad and a blue finishing pad. The last two cars I've detailed I just used the finessing pad that came with the kit and it seemed to come out great. I'm using Optimum Compound, Polish, and Opti-Seal. I just want to know if you guys...

I think I might have made a mistake. I ordered the XMT PC 7424 kit from autogeeks yesterday (December 11th) and I'm thinking I probably should've gone with the Optimum kit instead. I think what really sold me was the video on autogeeks of the XMT removing the scratches and swirls. The swirls I...

I'm trying to decide what to order for the purpose of drying my car after I wash it. I don't have alot of money to spend.

I recently posted in the machine polishing thread about what I should buy as far as the actual product. For reference, here's the link with the pictures of my girlfriends Integra I need to fix...

Hey everyone, as the title says I'm new to detailing. The extent of my experience is washing, running a clay bar across the paint, and putting on a layer of wax with a rag. I'm selling my girlfriends Integra and it needs some serious attention. I'm positive everything can be fixed, but I'm not...
