Let's hear it! I personally caught up on some sleep after a frustrating hour or two online with one less forum to check! :sosad

When working on the black Carrera I did last weekend (see: http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56524) I came upon a perplexing dilemma. I was polishing with SSR2.5 on a Propel yellow pad for the first few passes which got the vast majority of the swirling out. My second...

What products/methods accomplish this best? From dried polish to dried wax I need a comprehensive method to remove the staining that is induced upon un-masked areas! Thanks! Rob (who will be masking from now on!)

When using PB's SSR 2.5 and 1 today on the PC, and I always feel as though i am using much too much product. Should the polish have an opaque film over the paint while polishing? Transparent? Thin as possible? Thick as possible? I have been shooing for just enough polish so that you can see a...

What is the best way to apply PB's EX-P sealant? By PC polishing pad or by MF applicator (hand)? I have never used a PBs sealant before and was looking for advice. I have always had good luck doing SG with the applicators and buffing off the MF. It will probably go on top of AIO after SSR 1...

A possible client sent me these pictures asking if i could do anything for his hood. This is a repainted hood and the body shop obviously did a terrible job. He says the paint is "bubbling" but not soft to the touch... Suggestions? :confused:

Hey everyone. I just bought a PC, and I have the Excel Plate/Pad kit on order...What products should a beginning PC user buy for light/medium swirl removal? Possible choices include PB's SSR (1 and 2? 2.5?) and Meg's DACP. Have any other reccomendations? How does...

I was looking at a bunch of wet/dry vac's that i can use for interior detailing. I need to make a purchase in the next couple of days. Does anyone have a prefrence between these? Or another suggestion? (Looking at vac's less than $100) 3 gallon 3hp Craftsman Car Vac with a few attatchments...

Regarding OTC PC pads... Do any decent ones exist? If so, which ones and how can I get them? :confused: :woot:

The age old n00b request. :woot: Please toss me some feedback on my price list. It will probably be reincarnated in .html form soon. I also shot for 3 packages instead of four because all of my jobs so far have been more mix-and-match than package requests, and i thought it would be...

I'm doing a job on the 30th and the owner says she has scratches on the surface of the plastic lining in the back of her Toyota Matrix. Any reccomendations on products/procedures for removing these scratches? Sand? Buff with rubbing compound? Thanks!
