Paid detail #2 for the year, though this was a super quickie... A coworker of mine just bought this truck a few months ago. It was a utility truck here at the club. Abused a bit, but well taken care of mechanically and not too much mileage for 16 years old. He got it for next to nothing. That...

Hey folks! I used a purple compressor pad doing a car a week or so ago. After the detail, I soaked them in some DP pad cleaner for a week before I got around to washing them. I ran the pads through the washer yesterday morning, and when I got home I discovered that the velcro backing came off of...

First paid detail of the year, hoping for 10 more. Coworker's car that I'd been trying to get scheduled since October. This car's paint was absolutely trashed! Extremely neglected and outright abused. Lots of deep scratches from being a DD for 20 years and being on the 3rd owner. Plent of major...

For a lot of people, it's the time of year to get that number on the scale back under control. I've picked up 7 or 8lbs I need to drop, but thats not quite why I'm going the low carb route, or here to discuss low carb. I actually adopted low carb as my lifestyle right after last year's Super...

Obviously a touchy subject. Some are perfectionists about it, some just want it done and over with. I've never considered myself in the perfectionist about it, but I know a good shave from a bad one. Not much feels better than a great shave. I have somewhat sensitive skin and I'm rarely happy...

Here's what I have that are up for trade: 4x 5.5 CCS gold jeweling pads- used once 4x 6.5 b&s mf correcting pad, 1 was quickly used once(for like 10mins, just to try), rest are brand new 4x 5.5 b&s mf polishing pad 4x 5" purple foamed wool pads(2 have been used once) 4x 5.5 CCS white pads-used...

I was thinking about this and thought id ask some of you... I have had great experiences in my limited rotary usage with foam pads- smooth as silk! However, when ive tried foamed wool and microfiber, i find it much more difficult to control. Skipping and running on me. What technique flaw would...

Interested in moving both of them and replacing with another rotary- something with lower speeds and a soft start. 3401 was purchased in June and only used 5-6 times. 3403 in September, and only used twice. There's a little polish splatter on the 3401 to clean up but they're both in excellent...

I have way more than enough wax... Fuzion, 915, 476, deep gloss, Fuzion, and just got 845, Synergy, and a sample of hybrid nano. Oh and I have some M16 I haven't used yet. Dodo looks cool, but not sure which to get. I drive a grey Honda Accord. New waxes and having extra options is always fun...

Looking at purchasing a bunch of these as stocking stuffers for everyone for Christmas. I see they make the stick, the under the seat one, and the febreeze type oil one with adjustable exposure for the vent. Anyone have any experience with them? I thought it'd be a nice little cheap stocking...

Been meaning to post this, but it's been a process to get completed with all the rain here lately. A little background info, my car is a year and a half old and I polished it with Wolfgang Uber Compound and Finishing Glaze in June using my 3401. I wanted to get it coated and therefore needed to...

Alright so I just coated my car with PBL v2 over the weekend and got to thinking... I chose PBL because you can wax on top of it for improved look and also to be able to satisfy that "need" to do something to your car. However, with products like the coating booster- which I purchased- how do...

I was hoping a few of the vets here and those experienced in coating prep could take a look over this and make sure my plan is correct. I feel good about it, but just want to be sure. I will be coating my 2014 Honda Accord with PBL v2. I used it once, on my mom's car back in August. The heat...

Ok, so this is my gf's car and it's my first car with a rotary- my recently acquired Flex 3403. White car and in very rough shape. Some of the paint was stained with some black and grey stuff. I wasn't able to remove this stuff entirely- it was in deep. Process was: rinseless wash with UWW...

So I detailed my gf's car today. 8 hours for a 2 step polish on a 2001 beetle. White, severely neglected. Black and gray stuff deep in the paint. Compounding and polishing brought some out, but I couldn't get anywhere close to all of it. Any my product or process suggestions for this type of...

I work with a guy that has been detailing for a really long time. Like 25 years. Only uses a rotary, super old school. Literally doesn't know what a DA is. Hes is giving me tips about how to use my new 3403 and says always hold the pad at an angle against the paint, never hold it flat. He...

So I got a Hi-gloss white finishing pad with my Flex 3403... I can't find these on the site here. Are they discontinued? Where do I need to look for these?

I'll be needing more quick detailed fairly soon and was researching products. I've recently added QD to my wash routine- just gives a better gloss without streaking or spots. I want a product that'll double as clay lube, work well as a drying aid and as a wax booster. Also want something that...

I have a 2014 Honda Accord I going to coat with the PBL v2 coating. Before I do that, I'd like to make it look as good as possible. I'm exploring option of trying to remove/lessen the orange peel. Im looking at the car pro velvet pads, since it's less aggressive than the denim. The description...

Ok, also did my grandpas car for his bday. Not nearly as intensive as mom's ;) Washed with CG citrus wash, red nano. Polished with HD speed and cyan HT PADS. I was pretty impressed with how much better the car looked. Only 2nd time I've used HD speed. I know people rave about it, and after this...
