I will be attempting wet sanding on my car for the first time and would like your guys' advice. I have an 03 BMW with relatively hard paint that to my knowledge is all original. Same hardness, relatively consistent paint thickness numbers throughout the car, etc. On the hood I measure a very...

Hi guys, I just finished up a BMW e30 that had single stage paint. After 205 and an IPA wipedown, the MF towels showed no more red paint transfer and I moved onto the LSP. I was using FK 2180 and both by hand and machine I noticed the pads were coming away very red, almost as red as the pads...

This is a big YMMV, but while I was at Sam's today, I spotted a Stanley LED spotlight. It's not the low Lumen one, it's the nice 520 lumen spotlight. FL5W10 $19.XX at my Sam's, I've seen it as low as 12 bucks at others. It's not listed on their site so it must be a local supply thing...

Hi guys, I have been detailing out of my garage and it is most certainly not setup for such an activity. My wired in lighting consists of only two bulb housings and I currently have CFL bulbs in. While they do provide enough light to work in, they do not illuminate defects well and I have to...

Hi guys, new to the forums but I thought I'd show of a bit of my work and my process. I am very very open to critique and criticism so feel free to fire away. I'll start of with an STI: Process: Cleared headlights w/ Meguiars PlastX and 4" orange pad Interior Cleaned w/ combination of...

Howdy, I've been a lurker for awhile and have finally decided to join to further my knowledge. I'm a "hobbyist" detailer with customers so am not a professional and am learning as I go, but I do have a few years of personal experience under my belt and a small customer base. Looking...
