Hope this is the correct section. I've read on many threads, where the poster is stating a percentage of the swirls where removed. I understand what 100% means or defect free, that's close to impossible IMO, but that's not my question. My question is how do you go about measuring this...

Anyone know where I can find this product? Its made by Turtle Wax, and my local O' Reilly (was kragen's) stopped carrying with OR took it over. I do a fair amount of Harleys and it works, very well on the black crinkle finish. Currently I'm using Stoners Trim Shine, but its not as good as CD2...

As the holidays approach I was thinking of ways to selling my detailing services as Christmas gifts. In past years I’ve had customers ask about gift certificates, of which I have a few of them on a word documents that I can print or email. In previous years I have not charged the recipient for...

Last week I worked on a 2005...350Z for a very good friend and customer. He had just brought the car and the paint (jet black) was pretty ruff. No big deal to me just a ton of polishing. I washed the car in the driveway it was about 9 AM temps in the 80's. Once I got done and was drying the...

At this time of the year, where my wife has to park her car while at work. There are many trees, these trees drop a yellow looking sap, its not oily by nature but STICKS to the car like glue. I don't bucket wash that car that often, mainly use S&W. But even when I do bucket wash it has no effect...

I posted this some years back and thought that it might be a good time to repost. I know that we are all here to learn and share our knowledge about detailing. One thing that I notice a lot and not just on this site. When someone posts a question about a product or a process, it’s important...

My next door neighbor is a letter carrier for USPS. Yesterday a guy offered him his old Campbell Hausfeld air compressor...he has a good already so he asked me if I wanted it...heck yea! The one that I have is a cheapo one from Sears that get me by OK, but over heats quickly. We plugged it in...
