Anyone near Waukesha or can recommend a detailer in Waukesha. Someone that won't rip me off and does a good job. I need paint correction and a waxing. Nothing interior wise. I wish I could do it myself, but I don't have any room in my garage and I don't want to freeze my @ss off doing it...

Was washing the car today and was hosing off one of my wheel wells. At first I thought it was mud, but as I sprayed it with a tight stream from the hose the stain got bigger. I realized at that point that the black was coming off. This car is barely 9 months old. Should this be happening...

I always thought that was a no-no. Isn't that why the plastic trim is taped off? But lately I have been seeing a lot of threads about people using their PC's with Polish on everything from headlights and taillights to side view mirrors with good results. How can this be accomplished...

Let's say I am using an orange pad with Optimum Polish and want to bump it up to Optimum Compound, can I use the same pad or do I need an unused pad? I know not to mix waxes and polishes on the same pads, but I was wondering how this applied to polishes and compounds alone.

Started with a 6 1/2 inch white pad with Optimum polish at 6, nothing. So I moved up to a green pad with Optimum Compound 4 inch at 6. All of a sudden I see this in two spots... Did I just burn my paint? It seems almost raised and it feels like an orange. Can it be fixed?

I taped off my girlfriends trunk last week and tested out the porter cable 7424. I started out with the orange pad at speed 5 and worked the compound (CG Medium Compound) until only a slight haze remained. Then I surveyed how many scratches and swirls I removed. Not too many, so I did another...

So it was my first time with the PC today, I borrowed my girlfriends trunk (2002 Ford Escort) and tested it out. I only had a short amount of time, but I think I have a feel for it now at least. Products used: CG Medium Compound: Orange Pad Yellow Pad Blue Pad I started out with...

What is Chemical Guys Medium compound comparable to in the poorboy's SSR line? Here is a link: MEDIUM Compound OXIDATION SCRATCH Remover

I am detailing 2 cars in the next couple weeks and was wondering what your opinion on what order to use the products to tackle the jobs (the polishing aspect) I will be using a porter cable 7424. Here is what I am working with: Klasse AIO Chem Guys Medium Compound Oxidation Scratch...

I am attempting starting up a little side job with detailing, nothing major, just friends, neighbors, etc. This is currently what I have and was wondering if you see any oversights or something I might need. PC 7424 LC Pads (yellow, orange, white, blue) Chemical Guys - Medium Compound...

Anyone here had any experience with Chemical Guys FABRIC CLEAN-Heavy Duty carpet-upholstery shampoo/odor eliminator (1 Gal) I know the chemical guys make some good stuff but I haven't heard of anyone using this particular product yet. And with a 20:1 recommended dilution ratio, I would be...

Do you guys use any particular brushes to work carpet + upholstery cleaner into fabric floors and seats? Or would an OXO Scrub brush work just fine?

I am assuming you guys transfer your gallons of wax and polish to spray and squeeze bottles. I've seen spray bottles at CG and such but I can't seem to find the squeeze bottles. I imagine they must exist right? lol

I am planning on buying an orbital polisher and have a few questions. I recently (last week) clayed, polished (color-x) and waxed (NXT) my girlfriends car. Now, this was all by hand mind you and I removed only a tenth of the scratches and swirls that are on it. Well, if I get this...
