After moving I had to give up my detailing business for 3+ years but now I am back with a vengeance! While I was gone all of these new coatings came out which I find to be very intriguing. Because of my fantastic results with the rest of their line, I purchased optimum gloss coat. After reading...

I picked up a bottle of 105 today to see if it lives up to the hype surrounding it, and because I wanted to try a new aggressive compound. The instructions on the bottle say to use it with a wool cutting pad, and to follow with something else. However, the point of 105 is that it is tough...

I just recieved (among other things) another gallon of ONR from danase (outstanding service by the way) and for some reason when I smell it, it is as if I were opening a gallon of windex and smelling that! All my previous gallons of ONR had almost no smell, so do you think this "windex" scent is...

Many of you saw my thread where I posted beading videos of my home made wax. Well, while I was messing around, since most of the expensive waxes around smell of coconuts, I decided to try some coconut oil, one because I know waxes need oil to work properly, spread easily, and look nice as...

I made some nice beading/sheeting videos for you guys, check them out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myG7hcb09KE You can see the other 2 I have if you look to the right, high quality (full 640x480) versions available on request. Youd be amazed how much better that beading looks when its...

Just kidding, first post in new area!

I want to buy some CG wet mirror finish and some CG body shop compounds, but I do not want a whole gallon and they only sell their body shop polishes in gallons, and the value for wet mirror finish in 16oz is TERRIBLE, over $1 per oz whereas the gallon is $48 for 128oz. So, who is...

Everything I have used from chemicalguys so far has been amazing, especially their microiber. But I have never used their compounds, or their body shop compounds. I would like to try one, but I would also like some infor before buying. Has anyone here tried any?? How about their pro polish...

Alright, well up until now I have mainly been using Victoria Wax deep cleanse for paintwork cleansing, areas that are too small for my makita, wheels, etc... But some customers want sealants and VW deep cleanse is designed for use with carnauba, which I will continue to use it for. So I am...

Has anyone tried both products to compare? I am thinking of picking up a WOWA sealant and optimum does have a history of impressing me, but my question is, to those of you who own both is the ultima worth the extra cost vs opti-seal?

Does anyone know where I can buy the edge2000 white wool pad? I can only find black, yellow, green, and blue.

When this car arrived, it was loaded with industrial fallout, the owner works near some sort of factory that left these horrible white dots all over the paint! It looked like dust almost, but it did not wipe off, it took a very long time to clay all of it out. I even had to clay the **** out of...

I am looking to buy a new finishing polish for use with a rotary, I plan to use an edge 2000 white pad (wave) and I am looking for one that will finish down good on all paints, including the very soft clears like honda. I am thinking 106ff from autogeek as I have heard it is amazing. Will...

Alright, so far it seems like I am going to go with victoria wax, considering the wonderful 58 minute conversation I had with the owner, great guy, VERY knowledgeable by the way... But to those of you have used both, what did you notice as far as one vs the other? Also did you prefer 5050...

Off the top of my head I can name Victoria Concours, CG pete's 53, Souveran, and World's Best Wax, these I have all heard approach the EGs in terms of looks, but are there any others?
