    Detailing clay differences....

    I've used detailing clay since 1996, that's when I was first introduced to it. Now I'm realizing there are various grades of clays......some fine, some more coarse. I've always used, well, clay from wherever it was available not knowing there were discreet differences. Would you folks mind...

    What do YOU do?

    I'm not a pro but I'm asking the professionals here.......... You have cleaned/detailed a customer's car and it looks like a million bucks. THAT day or the very next day it rains and trashes the car. Do you offer a discounted service for the next time, call Tough Sh#t, act like it didn't rain...

I'm looking for a polish that will work under these conditions, either PC or Cyclo applied. I currently have Wolfgang, Poorboy's 2.5 and 1. The...

    First time with this problem....

    A truck that I will soon be detailing is often parked under a tree. On the sun surfaces are hundreds if not thousands of tiny dark colored dots, I assume from the tree. I did a trial area trying to remove these using clay, a nylon bug scrubber (with clay lubricant), the PC with scratch...

    How do I..........

    I need to remove and replace a small stick on convex mirror attached to the driver's side mirror. What's the best way to go about removing this little bugger? Hair dryer? Dental Floss? All ideas would be much appreciated.

    Swirl Remover/Sealer

    I see these products advertised but I appeal to the board......... Has anyone successfully used one of the many "all in one products" with great results using machine application & removal for minor swirls, spider webs???? Obviously, removing minor boo boos and sealing the paint in one step...

    Old fart new PC

    G'Day from TX. I am slowly learning the nuances of fine detailing and very pleased to be here. I've done 6-7 jobs for $$ and all owners were +10 on the Wow factor when they saw their completed cars. Glad to be here so I can learn from Pros and newbies alike....we all have something to offer.
