    Body Shop Repair, Hack Job

    Hi, Our brand new vehicle was T-Boned a few weeks ago (on the way to Detail Fest, actually). With only 1700 miles on the clock, and a fresh coat of Gloss Coat, I knew not to expect perfection after repair. Anyway, after rejecting the vehicle the first time the shop tried to pass it off...we...

    Pole for Boar`s Hair brush

    Hi, Purchased a Boar`s Hair brush for our humungous van, but did not purchase the telescoping pole - mostly due to comments that the threaded section breaks. Does anyone have a telescoping handle they use with their Boar`s Hair brush, that doesn`t shred after a few uses? Certainly don`t...

    PB Black Hole + ? Wax

    Hi, Friend just purchased a pristine 1987 Grand National, with excellent single stage black paint. The car has been cared for, and it shows. However, all of the caring comes with light swirls. There`s a car show coming up this weekend, and he`d like my help with getting a good finish...

    Detail Fest purchases/vendor samples

    Hi, Thinking of taking my family up to Detail Fest, this weekend. We`re only an hour away in Ft. Lauderdale. Certainly the car show will be an attraction - especially for our 4 year old. However, wondering if there`s an opportunity to get samples and/or directly purchase products (at a...

    Toyota Super White, Single Stage?

    Hi, Went for mild correction on our 2017 Toyota Sienna, in Super White. Used CarPro Essence on a white Hybrid pad, and a 3401. Worked like a champ. There were some areas of deeper scratching (thanks, Dealer!) that needed a bit more than essence could offer. Using the same White Hybrid...

    Desert Island Products

    A while back, Ron had a post that said something to the effect of: "I`ve realized that I like car detailing products, more than I like car detailing". Coupled with Accumulator`s recent posts about "loathing" detailing - a chord was struck. I love a clean and pristine car. But I like...

    Headlamp compund

    Hi there, I noticed one of our vehicles (2012 model) has some light oxidation on the top of each headlight lens. Thanks South Florida! Nothing too bad, but something I want to take care of. Plan is to hit it with a G110 w/3" MF pad and some compound. My guess is sanding is not required...

    SMAT polish on hard VW paint

    Hi there. First off, this is not a "need" situation. Purely from a desire to try out new stuff. When polishing out my wife's Acura, M205 and a white Hybrid on a 3401 corrects and finishes like a boss. However, using that combo on my VW is an exercise in futility. Have to break out Menz SIP1500...
