    Applied CQuartz to the wife car :)

    Well everything went very well with the coating and I had no issues at all. Thanks Richy and Avi for answering my questions. I had to get creative with washing as I don't have running water or a drain. With the help of a 2gal garden sprayer, 5gal bucket to fill it, and a wet vac, I was able to...

    Wet sanding, cutting and buffing with only a DA

    Admittedly I can be a little old school at times, and wet sanding is probably one of those areas. With all the recent threads on wet sanding a fellow detailer, one I respect, David Fermani, mentioned to me how he felt the sanding scratch removal was more efficient by DA as it reduced the number...

    My new/temp detailing space updated with some new florecent fixtures/bulbs

    I'm currently at a point with a car restoration where there is a lot of sanding and priming going on and it has made my shop a mess and it's no longer working as a detailing space anymore. Because of this I've started working on cars in my other garage but it had poor lighting with only two...
