Looking to sell two Lake Country Hydrotech Tangerine pads. Condition is like new only used once for under 10 min. Price is $5 each + whatever shipping will be from Cape Coral Florida.

I just got around to trying the LC Tangerine pad this weekend and had disastrous results. I was trying to clean up some light swirls on my 98 Honda Accord (red) using PC LC tangerine pad and Menzerna Final Polish II. What I ended up with is some serious micro maring that looked like clouds of...

Quick question about pad cleaning. I only have a couple pads to use on my cars. From what I've read I should be cleaning my pad after each panel. How exactly do I do that? Obviously I cant let it soak in a bucket or anything as the car needs to be finished. Would simply dunking it in...

I'm doing a quick free detail for a friend's Tahoe and it has some swirling. Sadly I do not have the time or the pads to do what needs to be done to correct everything so I'm going to use Black Hole for a glaze to help hide the imperfections.. So my question is: I'd like to give him some...

Autogeek has Collinite 845 as a buy one get one free this week. Not too shabby. Buy One, Get One Free!

Looking for any suggestions for a good guy/company to bang out a dent (silver dollar size) on a Honda Accord door top center in the Fort Myers, Cape Coral area. Paint is not creased.

Hey there guys and gals. This is a newb post so please forgive me. I've been out of the detailing game for a few years and need a little help on any new products that are out there. Right now I have these current products: PC7424, CCS pads Gold Class Car Wash Meg's 83, 80, 3 - 3+...

Been a very long time since I've posted so I figured by now I have reverted to being a 'newb' again...:) I look forward to getting back into detailing and learning about the new products and tricks that are out there. Cheers!

Greetings- I searched for the answer before posting this. Couldn't find it. I've been trying to remove defects from my paint with an orange LC pad on my PC for a while using many different techniques and it isn't working so i ordered the Yellow cutting pad. My question is on the pad it...

I have a red mach1. The actual paint name is Torch Red. In bright sun it looks almost orange. I've tried many combos on this and can't find one i really like. The products i have are these: #80 , #83, #3, GC, NXT, AIO, KSG, UPP, NB, Reflections, Top Coat and a host of qd's. I've tried...

Just had a customer yell at me because of this stuff. For whatever reason it "turned to goo" and won't come off. I haven't seen the car yet. They just want to fix it themselves and i told them to use a rag with some soap & water but apparently that didn't work. Any of you guys ever experience...

Hey fellas was wondering if there are bonding issues with topping a glaze with a sealent. Example would be: #80 topped with UPP I ask because i know certain sealents like KSG need a clean oil free surface to bond to (like AIO). And the oils from a glaze would hinder that. So does this go...

Hey guys i really like using megs #80 speed glaze and the Klasse twins but can you use both together? IE: #80, AIO, KSG Or does AIO pretty much negate any benefits of the #80?

Hey fellas, I've just started detailing on the side and have a bunch of cars lined up. I was wondering if you pros could go over my process and see if anything i'm doing isn't the most efficient or yield the best results in my limited time with the vehicle. (hope that makes sense..lol)...

Greetings fellow autopians, I'm fairly new to the site but really love reading through here. By far the best site i've found for detailing information. My question is simple i think..lol. I've noticed that every time i wax my girlfriend's car whenever it rains it leaves a crazy amount of...
