I detail on the side as a mobile detailer and have just recieved some S&W and QEW as it seems as though many of the top mobile people use this method to wash vehicles AND in the rare situation where I donot have access to water these products are perfect. Here's my question though... What do...

I read here about the processes that everyone uses when detailing but there's one thing that I just can't get down and it's frustrating the heck out of me. Does everyone hose down the car after polishing to get the dust that you've just generated off of the vehicle. I've used menzerna...

Any downsides to doing the interior first when detailing? It's always been just habit to do the outside first then move inside esp since often times I'm using sealants that need to cure. BUT when it's an instance of someone just wanting a base single process detail for the exterior I'm thinking...

Where does everyone store products in the winter and what is the best temperature range? I've been detailing on the side all summer now and most of my products and equipment stay in the trunk and backseat of my car all of the time. I'm lucky enough that my full time job my car sits in a...

Well a good friend of mine (and my paint guy) just let me have his extra Dewalt rotary that was rebuilt under warranty and has been sitting on the bench for months. I would like to get a backing plate and pads for the Rotary BUT get as much cross usage possible out of the pads between the...

I've been using Zaino on my personal vehicles and overall I'm very happy with it....BUT as everyone here, I'd like to branch out and experiment some with different products now that I'm about out of my current stash of Zaino. I'd love to see this thread filled up with user reviews of the...

Well went out saturday morning to wash my fiance's car and it ended up going from a simple wash to the beginning of winter prep for this car. Washed / clayed / IP / FP / Z5-ZFX / Z2-ZFX (x2). Hopefully next weekend we'll get a couple more coats of Z2 then follow it up with some S100 or...

I've been using Meguiars ColorX as a paintwork cleaner following polishing for some time as I cannot find a complaint with this product, it's inexpensive and it's available locally. I'm getting near the end of the bottle and thinking of using something differet. Is There one product out there...

How do you guys monitor progress while polishing a car? Here's my dilemma. I've got a dual halogen setup on a tripod in my garage. Can I leave the Halogen's on and pointed at the surface while I'm working so that I don't have to put down the PC and turn on the light every time I've made a few...

New to this board thought that Id introduce myself. Although I'm somewhat young (26) my passion for automobiles has lead me to many good online communities. Full Time I'm a software developer for Nationwide Insurance BUT this past year I also started my own Mobile Detailing business on the side...

I'm about to order some SSR2.5 to compliment what I've already got in the garage BUT I'm curious to know if I should just take the plunge on SSR3 as well. Many here have stated that something higher than 6 on the cut scale is best reserved for Rotary over PC. Looking for anyone with real world...

I've already got Menzerna IP and FP..but would like something with a little more power than even the IP offers. In some threads I read that DACP (#83) is more powerful than IP in others I read that they're about the same. It was suggested to try the 1Z Ultra BUT I'd rather stay away from...

I was all excited to get to use my new PC that's been sitting in my living room because I'm simply too busy. Well now after hours of work on my car I'm disappointed at my results and wondering what I did wrong and what I can do better to achieve the results that I desire...or am I just expecting...

Posted here a couple of times but both attempts to become a member of this board were apparently thwarted by the hackers. So...if anyone didn't catch these picutres...these are my personal rides currently maintained with Menzerna and Zaino products...although I'm happy with the current products...

I've been detailing on the side for a couple of years in my local community and surrounding communities. I do this as a mobile service. I am by no means a huge business but just trying to do something that I'm passionate about that I can also share with others. My question is this. My...

I"m going to break down and finally use that PC that I purchased about a month ago this weekend. My question is this. I plan on using Menzerna IP (yellow pad) then FP (white pad) followed by Zaino and probably topped with P21S. I've read many threads where people are Using AIO after the...
