I have been using two Werner platforms for detailing. One to keep from bending over with wash buckets, polishers etc. The other I use to get around the vehicle. I'm clumsy at times so..once I was polishing and went a little too far and right off the edge. The polisher nearly missed hitting the...

I purchased some VC pads from Poorboys back in June. I was shown to slightly tilt the polisher a few degrees for better control and use that edge on bottom of the pad. I'm new to a Rotary so don't want to get any bad habits. Should I be laying the pad totally flat instead? It was definitely...

It's a shame this car will probably never see the street again. Anyone know the year? It looks like the center caps were already stolen. Why would they leave it behind?

I used Iron X on my Explorer in the spring. I think I washed the car and then when it was mostly dry sprayed the paint down. I used an old wet wash mitt and gently went over the paint after a few minutes. Then rinsed. Ikinda followed the directions if I remember. For the wheels I just...

In reference to this image banner before logging in to Autopia forums. I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool to see a banner which features forum members detailing work. Autopia could make some rules and select the winner. This could be an ongoing contest. I certainly won't be entering any...

I don't really know where half the Comcast channels are but when my surfing lands on the Velocity channel, sometimes I'll sit and watch for hours. I don't watch much TV but want to know when the good shows are on.. and what channel. List your favorite. I'm also looking for detailing shows if...

I just wanted to share my experience I had with TW Tire Coat. This is "Take 2" since being my first time doing a review I lost the first. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can successfully get this one out there. Also prepping for a review of some BriteMAX products I won from...

I picked up a Highline 2nd Gen paint thickness gauge. The directions say that it's already calibrated. So I'm guessing you don't want to calibrate it? BUT.. It comes with two quarter sized metal coins with blue protective film on them and a few plastic shims with mil size on them. I tested...

I've never done an IPA Wipe Down had a few questions: 1) What Type alcohol am I looking for and where is the best place to get it? 2)What percent is best to use and/or do I dilute it? 3) What media do I use for the wipe down. Microfiber towels? 4) Do most detailers do an IPA after polishing...

I came across a 2001 a Nissan Altima today that after it was washed and waxed by the owner looked like it was sanded on the roof with heavy sandpaper. I managed to polish it out to a shine but looking close the scratches are still there I never took photos but PMd another Autopian who showed me...

I got a call yesterday from a friend who has a Nissan Altima - 2001. He somehow managed to put swirls on his roof. He doesn't know what he did to cause it but it was the first place he started washing he had told me. Maybe a dirty mitt? I have small bottles of all the Rupes polishes and...

I have used 845 Insulator Wax in the past. I am tempted to try either 476 or should I go with 915 in the fall for winter protection. Is 476 so hard to work with that I'll regret it? How about 915? I know they have a chart showing ease of use. Or should I try the Fusion if it's still $40? I...
