I spoke with a potential client yesterday. He is a lawyer at one of the bigger local firms so I am hoping to land him permanently as well as his friends. He wants me to work on his sons Toyota 4 runner black. He is going to decide whether or not he wants me to remove the old pinstriping or...

Having read each guide 2-3x on the site I dont see one for the following topic. The first evaluation of the car you intend to work on. Having just done my first paid gig this weekend, after I was completely done with the polishing step using UNO and the new pads, I was admiring my work...

So I did my first ever paint correction on my car over July 4 weekend. I sent me brother some pics I took and he brought me his cts-v to do this past weekend. I did a 1 step correction with Hd UNO and orange pad. Washed, clayed, and sealed with poxy. He was very happy about the results (for...

Very nice work! I love the easy navigation.

It appears as if they were deep scratches and the previous owner attempted to fill them with touch up paint but either improperly applied it and it bubbled or maybe the heat made them bubble. My car is a 2006 VW GTI. Should I use langka? Sand this down. Both of them I can feel with my...

Is it a cutting or polishing pad?

I will soon be trying my first machine polish with pc and hd UNO. Are the pad cleaners which look like spurs good enough to clean the pad between panels?

RO or reverse osmosis water is a true natural ph of 7.0. While this may seem irrelevant in car detailing it is very significant in water chemistry equations. Since ph is logarithmic and a ph of 8.0 is 10 more alkaline than a ph of 7.0 and a ph of 9 is 100x more alkaline and so on... I am sure...

Here is my story, Up until 1 week ago I drove a total of 3 cars from the time I was 16 until now (23 years). A Ford escort station wagon, a Mazda MX3, and a VW Beetle. All were bought used with 100k plus miles and I essentially only did oil changes every 5k and proceeded to drive them until...
