I was at a woodworking show this past weekend, and stopped by the 3m booth. They had a backing plate that they were using that was flexible but also had a softer face (more "cushion"). The selling point was that it conformed to uneven surfaces better. From 3m site: "... Pad is made with a...

For those of you that need portable detailing power, Home Depot is having a 10% off "customer appreciation" coupon today through this weekend (at least in my area). They also have many of their generators clearanced 20% off, so you can get an additional 10% on top of that. I got a Coleman...

What did I do wrong? Being the nice son-in-law that I am ( :lol ), I detailed my MIL's car with a first-pass polish with PB SSR1 (big improvement and reduction in micro-marring) and then topped with 476s (since I know she won't maintain it when she drives back home). Anyway, she has the...

This is probably a stupid noob question, but.... I used my PC for the first time today (it rocks!), and used 476s with an Excel finishing pad (grey). I used a butter knife to spread the 476s on the pad, but it just seemed to soak it up! I had to use a lot of product to get the wax spread...

I am curious as to what proper protocol is concerning posting of other vendors? I use a site from which I order my shop tools, and noticed they have Meguairs professional detailing products at what seems to be good prices (e.g. $7.67 for 16oz. #26 Yellow wax, $22.25 for a gallon). They...

Is there a place to buy the Klasse products local in ATL? I would order from one of our vendors, but I need it for tomorrow! Has anyone seen it sold locally (preferably on the north side). Thanks!

How many crappy weekends are we going to have in a row? I have yet to be able to use my new PC and supplies from Excel! ARRRGGGHHHH! :angry Sorry, just had to vent to a group that would understand.... </rant>

I'm trying to learn, but am still confused! :wall Some products don't work with others, etc.... what's a noob to do? :faint: Anyway, here's what I was planning to use: Mother's clay Griot's Machine polish #3 3M Professional Imperial Hand Glaze (can this go on with a PC?) Collinite...

Help! I bought a used car 2 months ago, and it had just been detailed when I bought it. The problem is that the air freshener smell (which I hate!) won't go away! It's just as strong as the day I bought it! Especially on warm days it gets worse, and spring/summer is fast approaching...
