A lady calls me (from a strange area code) and says she is looking at my website, and wants to know what all I include in a full detail. I tell her pretty much everything my website says, and ask her if she has seen my site and she says yes. She then asks if I really can spend 8 hours working...

This was a clean up for sale. The owner only wanted the hull detailed, and specifically wanted the oxidation cleaned up on the blue portion. It was to be a basic job - no wetsanding. I used Meguiar's marine cleaner wax (#50) on the PC at speed 6 with a burgundy Meguiar's cutting pad. I...

I detailed both of these recently. They were at a local show tonight, so I went by to snap some pics. 92 Miata and 04 Saleen (It's a real Saleen, not a clone) Notice the depth in the Saleen (wearing Collinite 845)...you can see the Miata This Miata has nice gloss for 17 years old...

This car belongs to a 65 year old. It has been modded, and he drives it on Miata cruises. I think the car was last waxed 3 years ago!!! It had some issues. Oh yeah, plus it was single stage (and I have the pads to prove it). Process (interior) Wasn't bad, just vacuumed, wiped down with...

This is a 10 year old C5 that I did today. The car had a lot of swirls, and several RIDS. For a change of pace, I decided to use the PC, with an orange, low profile pad, and a 50/50 mix of Meguiar's 83 and Meguiar's 105. I did a test spot on the hood using the rotary and 105 - then did a spot...

I did this car earlier in the week. The inside was in worse condition than the outside. The interior was vacuumed (I had to blow a few areas out with the air compressor), wiped down with a damp rag, then wiped down with Meguiar's QID. I also used QID on the seats. It leaves a nice subtle...

I have seen several threads regarding whether this can be used with the PC. My question is a little more specific, in that I would like to know if anyone has tried this combo on hard clears (like Vettes or Mercedes). I have friends with PCs (that also own Vettes, Mercedes, Audis), that are...

This car was a pleasure to work on. I have always liked these, and the client is a great person. I washed the car with a 3 bucket method, using QEW (I use a third bucket for wheels, tires, and wells). I then clayed the car with Meguiar's white clay. The flat panels were polished with...

The purpose of this thread is not to ask how to build a cheap pad washer. Instead, I am wanting to know if any of you have designed a better pad washer than what you can buy, regardless of the price. I know many of you have designed your own water filtering systems, and things like that, so I...

I saw this at Wal Mart, and picked it up. Is this an equivalent to Prep-Sol? I haven't tried it yet...

I just bought a 12' x 12' canopy at ****'s Sporting Goods for $89. You can choose between red, green, and grey. I haven't tried it, but looking at the one on display at the store, it looks like it is pretty easy to put up and take down.

I have seen threads where some of you guys mix Z-PC, and Z-AIO together to get a little correction via the PC. Does the Z-PC/ZAIO mixture provide enough of a "base" for Z2 or Z5 to bond to, without having to use Z-FX? I know that you don't have to use Z-FX if you are applying a layer of Z2...

I am curious...For you mobile guys, what kind of liability coverage do you guys carry - what coverage amounts?

I did these 2 cars on Saturday - both belonged to the same person (couple). The Mustang hadn't had a lot done to it, and needed a bit of work.... Interior before.... Interior after.... Dingy Leather... Leather after Woolite/Water and Gold Class conditioner... Now to...

I have a very stupid question, so pardon my ignorance to technology. When someone posts an item for sale, and mentions their PayPal address, how does one go about actually purchasing from that address?

I always wash my towels in a pure detergent after each use, and dry them in the dryer with no fabric sheet. However, I had about 10 general purpose microfiber towels that had lost a little of their softness, as well as about 5 polishing cloths that had also lost a little softness. I had never...

What kind of durability are you guys getting with this product?

I have full bottles of Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover and Advanced Finishing Polish. The bottles have been opened, but never used. Both have stickers that say "New Formula" on them. I will probably never use them, and would like to trade them. I am not particular what I trade for....Would...

I was planning on ordering AIO, Z2pro, Z5pro, and Z6. Is that enough to get me started? Secondly, do any of you guys apply AIO via rotary or PC, and do you get any mild correction with it?

What's the easiest way to clean light colored cloth seats (that are pretty dirty)? I want to make sure that when I clean them, they don't waterspot - they are a khaki color. I currently have Folex, Woolite, and a couple of APCs. Any methods, or techniques that you guys have found for...
