I detail used cars for a friend that buys these heaps at the auction. I have been working on a 2001 Saturn, black, that's eat up with scratches and etched to the metal on the hood by bird crap. He said, just polish and wax, ok, I tried to make it look better. I used a yellow Edge wool pad...

I do detailing on used/abused cars for a friend that sells used cars, he also runs a bodyshop. He wants me to "do what I can" on a late 90's green Toyota Sienna van. I looked at it, buffer swirls ALL over and some light, faded areas where it appears someone tried to compound a scratch out with a...

A few months ago Brandon1 had a little get together at his shop for some detailing and a swap meet. I've just got the word that the next event is Oct 20 - unless something comes up. So all the usual suspects that had a great time before - let's start making plans. I'm sure Brandon will comment...

In my endless pursuit of best bang for the buck, I have read and reread everything about CG compounds. As far as I can tell, if they work as advertised, then I'm in - cause the price is right and I'm ready to "come on down!" Specifically, I'm looking at getting the EZ Cut Heavy Duty, the Laser...

There is a chance, my family may purchase a Honda Pilot in the near future. I've never detailed a Honda and I need advice from all ya'll Honda experts. How does it compare to Toyota? Are there any "must know" tips that you need to get and maintain a nice finish? Any products too avoid? and if...

There aren't a lot of Malco users out - but Malco is a large chemical company, they own Presta and they make a ton of stuff. I'm lucky to have a local supplier. OK -Perfex is a medium compound. The test vehicle was a 02 Tahoe, black with heavy water spots etched in the paint, add the fine...

I noticed it was a little down on power, then it just died. don't know if it's in the switch or if something worse happened. I think it's not quite a year old. So, I'll call AG tomorrow and see what they can - or will do. If they won't replace it under warranty, then I'm in a quandary - I like...

OK, I detailed a 02 Buick and a 05 Chevy Impala back during Memorial day weekend. The Buick was prepped and had PBA/105, the Chevy was prepped and had WG glaze/sealant. These are owned by friends of mine, husband and wife that do about the same amount of driving. The Buick just got back from a...

OK, my RAV4 was in great shape, currently had DG PBA&105 and AW every other wash. I was wondering if it could be improved? I washed the Rav, dried it, checked for missed spots and bug guts -cleaned with FC&S. Then I added the OS. I'm heavy handed with product so it took me a few panels before I...

OK I quit, after this morning, my detailing is over. It started out pleasant enough, my drop dead gorgeous neighbor brought over her black BMW 750. She was wearing next to nothing and insisted on watching me get a scratch off the hood. She kept winking at me to hurry up as she had something else...

OK, I did a friend's SUV and yessir buddy - she was dull and in need of some polishing! And he like my work so much he asked if I would do his boat, 22-24 foot deck boat that sat out in the sun for the last few years. He's already had the engine overhauled and redid the seats. The floor and hull...

I'm going to buy a 9227 in the near future. I have a PC and 5 of each flavor Lake County 6.5" pad. I do NOT want to buy and bunch of pads for the Makita, I have read somewhere, maybe here, that you can use 6.5 on a rotary. Problem is - what size and where can you get it - backing plate do I get?

A friend came over with his new (to him) BMW 325. It's a couple years old, interior perfect and tires good. Problem is there are major scratches in the paint, white paint. It looks like someone scrubbed places on the hood with a bug spronge full of grits. I wiped part of the hood down with WG...
