2006 Hummer and 2007 Silverado Here are a couple mini-details I’ve been meaning to post for a while, but just haven’t found the time. The Hummer usually gets washed by me at least once a week, but most of the time every Tuesday and Friday. Process: - washed w/ foam gun and...

Anyone got a used one or know a source for a good deal on a new one? Thanks!

I've got a few questions about polishing, so I figured I'd put them in one post. Menzerna users: Can I follow SIP w/ APO60 to remove any marring and give more gloss? I know 106 is recommended, but sometimes there are clients who don't want to spend 300 bucks. Or should I only polish w/...

2005 Burgundy Corvette This Corvette was for the most part finished yesterday, but I asked the owner to put it in the garage for the night so I could come back in the morning and top the sealant I put on the night before. I did his F250 and his wife’s Lexus the day before. He claimed...
