Background: I met the owner last year at a fun filled Redline Time Attack. We had plenty of memories come from that day, and I hinted he should come up to Chicago sometime for a detail, jokingly of course. Fast forward to last Februrary, when he PMed me about getting a tune froma local...

I've been detailing for my main client for coming up to two years now. He likes his cars washed very often, I mena he will drive it once, and it has to be washed. He picked up an S8 on tuesday, asked me to wash it in the crazy cold weather that chicago has been having. Well, it was above...

Hello Autopians, Well I've been polishing with the PC and man do I like what it does to deepen paint and fix up small problems, but try hard as I might, the swirls and deeper scratches will not go away; big ones yes, but the smaller ones are ALWAYS there :hairpull and I don't have the...

Guys, I detailed a very badly swirled and scratched 98 Camry today, dark blue in color. I went through a lot of polishes and ended up using SSR3 and the Orange Propel pad. It got quite a few of the swirls out, but there were still small ones all over the car, even after following up with SSR 1...

Hey everyone, I'm new to machine detailing and have already done two cars with polishing...both were not great results. The owners were still astounded with the details, but I was pissed with all the swirls left after going over with SSR 2.5; I figure I should've misted the pad more often, but...

Hey everyone, I just came home from getting a PC 7336 and it has a 6 inch pad counterweight...if I'm going to be using propel pads and a 5 inch backing plate, do I need to get a different counterweight?
