Hello everyone. For quite some time I've been practicing with stone chip and general paint touch-up repair. Being my own worst critic, I'm rarely happy with my results, though my results have definitely improved over time. I've used sanding pens, hole punch sized peel and stick sand paper...

Hi Autopians, I worked on this Corvette paint correction from Monday through Friday last week and wanted to share some photos and info regarding tools, pads, products and processes used to complete this job. This Car belongs to the office manager at "Access Bus and Van Sales LLC.", the bus...

I had a local car repair shop bring this Chrysler Pacifica to me for a full inside and out detail. It was so nasty and so much of a challenge that time just didn't permit for anymore photos. This thing was disgusting to put it lightly. I have no Idea how a car could get this bad or why anyone...

Hi Autopians. Well as promised, Barry Theal placed my name on the last HD polisher that he had in stock. Thanks Barry!! A big thanks to Scott Ward (my local 3D guy) as well for taking the time to be sure that my needs were met. They brought the polisher to my shop today and I mentioned that I...

When working on interiors I can get most cars looking brand new with the exception if the floor mat where the driver's heel grinds the dye off of the carpet leaving the natural color of the carpet fibers in that spot. I'd like to have a gray and a tan carpet dye in stock to use on these areas...

I hope Kevin sees this thread. I have been hugely inspired by the writings, instructions and advice of Kevin Brown. I'm no noob to paint correction but am perplexed at the thought of doing anything more than finish polishing with HD UNO. I have tried on several occasions to cut paint with HD UNO...

That is the weirdest thing I have ever seen. Anyone know what I am talking about? Anyone know what it is? Is it real of something sculpted to look like a real animal of sorts?

Well...It's not actually the EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle from the movie "Stripes" but it is a 1976ish GMC Eleganza 2. The only motorhome (that I am aware of) that was ever made by a major auto manufacturer. It features the same composite body material as used on the Corvettes of it's day. These...

How many of the members here know me from other sites? The more the other detailing discussion forums become marketing machines, the less I am interested there. At the same time, the more I grow my business and run into hurdles the more I become interested in what other professionals have to...

Hey guys!! Just wanted to drop in and see what's going on over here and wish you all a safe and Happy Holiday season.

Happy Birthday Norah!! :bday3:

Hi to all. Yesterday Barry Theal gave me some HD UNO to play around with. I told my good friend about getting a new product to play around with and he offered up his newly purchased old BMW E-30 as a test subject for today's trial. Overall I am impressed with the way that HD UNO worked out on...

Hi all. My name is tuscarora dave and some of you may know me from other forums and some may not have heard of me. I spent the afternoon with Barry Theal at his shop today and he sent me home with some 3D goodies. He so generously gave me a gallon of HD Uno and a quart of HD Poxy to try out and...

Hi everyone. First I'd like to thank the great folks at Autogeek for sending me a bottle of this product to test out and give my honest thoughts and findings. Secondly I'd like to thank Steve A.K.A. Poorboy and Chris A.K.A. Pockets. (Steve's trusty sidekick and warehouse manager) Shortly...
