    SEC or VMW before Klasse AIO?

    Are S100 SEC or VMW abrasive enough to actually leave noticeable results when topped with Klasse AIO and their oils are removed? I'm trying to find a step to go before AIO to clean up the paint a bit but don't want to go all the way to DACP. Would Swirl Free be a good option? Thanks

    3M Cleaner Waxes?

    How are these products, especially the Medium Oxidation Remover Cleaner Wax, when used with a PC? They seem like a pretty good alternative for a somewhat damaged finish that isn't in too bad of condition. Since most people don't really care about a perfect finish anyway, and it leaves a good...

    Fine scratches from claying

    I finally got around to claying part of my car today, and I must say it is rather ridiculously smooth now. The only problem I had was that the clay seemed to leave a bunch of little scratches all over the area I clayed. I tried to fold over the clay very often (every time I saw any kind of...

    Interior fragrances...

    What do you guys use to get the interior of a car smelling nice for customers? I've noticed that a few of the products I use don't smell so great, and a customer might find that a little annoying. Are there any fragrances you guys use or just products that smell better? Thanks a lot...

    Got a few PC ??s

    I've finally decided to jump into PC buffing instead of all by hand (damnit I'm tired after my details :D) I've been checking out CMA and I've come up with a few questions. What is the difference between the PC 7424 and the PC Ultimate Detailing Machine? The 7424 is 130 and the UDM is...

    The Sun Issue...

    Well, we all know that polishing and waxing products all say to use out of direct sunlight on a cool surface. My question is, how do you guys ensure that your customers car will be out of the sun? I've read suggestions to get a canopy to cover the car with, but it seems that the canopy...

    Hoping to start detailing professionally, advice please!

    I've been lurking around this site for a while now and I can say it is truly amazing for its wealth of knowledge. Now to the point... I'm 18 years old and finishing up in high school this year. I've been detailing my families cars for about 5 years now (really really badly at first :D) Now...

    Meguiars 7 Show Car Glaze before Klasse?

    Does their #7 Show Car Glaze contain any oils and chemicals etc. that "fill in" swirls? I'm asking because I've heard that Imperial Hand Glaze contains oils that will reduce the ability of synthetics to bond to the paint. Basically my question is this. Since you can't use IHG as surface prep...
