    Finally detailing again! Optimum Gloss Coat or competitor?

    After moving I had to give up my detailing business for 3+ years but now I am back with a vengeance! While I was gone all of these new coatings came out which I find to be very intriguing. Because of my fantastic results with the rest of their line, I purchased optimum gloss coat. After reading...

    Tried out meguiars 105 today

    I picked up a bottle of 105 today to see if it lives up to the hype surrounding it, and because I wanted to try a new aggressive compound. The instructions on the bottle say to use it with a wool cutting pad, and to follow with something else. However, the point of 105 is that it is tough...

    New scent for ONR?

    I just recieved (among other things) another gallon of ONR from danase (outstanding service by the way) and for some reason when I smell it, it is as if I were opening a gallon of windex and smelling that! All my previous gallons of ONR had almost no smell, so do you think this "windex" scent is...

    Coconut scent in wax

    Many of you saw my thread where I posted beading videos of my home made wax. Well, while I was messing around, since most of the expensive waxes around smell of coconuts, I decided to try some coconut oil, one because I know waxes need oil to work properly, spread easily, and look nice as...

    Who wants to split some gallons with me?

    I want to buy some CG wet mirror finish and some CG body shop compounds, but I do not want a whole gallon and they only sell their body shop polishes in gallons, and the value for wet mirror finish in 16oz is TERRIBLE, over $1 per oz whereas the gallon is $48 for 128oz. So, who is...

    Chemical guys compounds/polishes

    JW prime strong vs KAIO

    Alright, well up until now I have mainly been using Victoria Wax deep cleanse for paintwork cleansing, areas that are too small for my makita, wheels, etc... But some customers want sealants and VW deep cleanse is designed for use with carnauba, which I will continue to use it for. So I am...

    Ultima Paint Guard Plus vs. Opti-Seal

    Has anyone tried both products to compare? I am thinking of picking up a WOWA sealant and optimum does have a history of impressing me, but my question is, to those of you who own both is the ultima worth the extra cost vs opti-seal?

    2005 black Acura TSX

    When this car arrived, it was loaded with industrial fallout, the owner works near some sort of factory that left these horrible white dots all over the paint! It looked like dust almost, but it did not wipe off, it took a very long time to clay all of it out. I even had to clay the **** out of...

    Finishing polish for use with rotary

    I am looking to buy a new finishing polish for use with a rotary, I plan to use an edge 2000 white pad (wave) and I am looking for one that will finish down good on all paints, including the very soft clears like honda. I am thinking 106ff from autogeek as I have heard it is amazing. Will...

    Souveran vs victoria wax

    Alright, so far it seems like I am going to go with victoria wax, considering the wonderful 58 minute conversation I had with the owner, great guy, VERY knowledgeable by the way... But to those of you have used both, what did you notice as far as one vs the other? Also did you prefer 5050...

    I think I want a water filter...

    Hey I was thinking about getting a water filter, one that fits onto a regular garden hose so that I can just let the water dry without getting spots. DF sells one that they claim allows you to do this, and autogeek sells a more expensive 2 stage one, although they do not say that you can...

    harbor freight/ chicago electric rotary speeds

    I just got my new Chicago Electric rotary from harbor freight today (figured its a good cheap way to try it out) and I was wondering about the speeds. The dial goes min>1>2>3>4>max. What does this translate to? I wanna stay at around 1000-1500 rpms and I dont know where that is.

    Why can't I include numbers in my search?

    Whenever I want to search for info on a product that has a number it always says no matches. Try typing in "meguiars #26" into the search, it says no results but yet i can recall many threads where people were talking about #26. Same thing goes with all the collinites, if you put in the...
