I've used M105 with my rotary with great success but sadly it's not the new version. I'm curious if I can use it via the KB method or am I'm stuck purchasing the new version or can I get away with mixing it with something like Optimum polish to increase the work time?

I'm thinking about revamping my logo. I like osmehting that's more plain looking that I can use in a letterhead and possibly get embroidered on some shirts in the next month or so here. Anyone willing to hook me up or point me in the right direction? I'm a awful artist unfortunately :(...

I have a detail coming up on an 05 VW GTI. I've heard mixed reviews on the paint, some saying hard like order VW paint typically is on the Jetta and Passat and others say it's gotten softer on the newer gen paints. Has anyone had any recent experience with these? I'm going to be doing a full...

I have a nice tax refund coming back and I'm looking at getting a spotless rinse system. Just curious who has the best prices on one and your opinions.

I got a little extra money burning a hole in my pocket because of my grant refund and I'm in need of a new polisher. My Dewalt wasn't really to my liking but after using a Makita I really liked it and seemed a bit easier to maneuver. My problem comes in in the fact that I've been eying a Flex...

Here's the deal. I've upgraded over the last 2 years from using a Mazda 3 4 door sedan to using my 4 dr Jeep Wrangler as my detailing vehicle/daily driver. Buying a car/van/truck just for detailing is out of the question because I'm in grad school. I have the towing package with the jeep so...

Curious about those who have used both. I'd like to know pros and cons of either. I'm looking at purchasing a new rotary to replace my old Dewalt.

Added pics of everything I got due to boredom

Just curious what those who have used both say. I've been a fan of #80 for years now and I often use it as a spruce up detailing product because of how well it works. The one downside about 80 however is the amount of fillers that I've found it to have and the necessity for an IPA wipedown to...

What pads does everyone use for their rotary? I have an AG gift card and I want to take advantage of the sale. I used to just use the 7.5in pads when I used my dewalt but now with my new Makita I was thinking of switching it up a bit. Any ideas or suggestions would be great! Also, does...

So Xmas came early around here. I'm going to ATL for xmas to my brother's place so my gf and I exchanged gifts early. Anyway, she got me a couple of 360 games and also a $75 gift card to autogeek! My parents bought me a new Makita 9227. Anyway, just trying to decide on what to get from AG...

I'm going to sound like a moron here but what is a PFW pad?

So I ran into a bit of a problem today. I have a customer with a modified Porsche GT3 and it's been swirled to hell! Anyway, I get a call today and I've done a few Porsche's in the past, mainly Boxsters but the paint was nowhere near this difficult to correct. I've tried just about every...

So I finally took the plunge after all this time getting my website done. Anyway, I hired it out and I couldn't be happier. It's still in the works but you'll get an idea of what it's going to look like. Feel free to provide constructive criticism. Mirror Image | Mobile Auto Detail

Just like the title says. This seems to be the best place to post this up. I've been detailing for the last 7 years. 3 of those spent in a reputable shop learning the craft. Anyway, I'm in the midst of doing my masters degree but while doing it I would like to get my business growing. I...

One of my clients recently purchased a 1964 Corvette Stingray in red. Anyway, it's his baby and before winter comes he wants it completely detailed inside and out before putting it in storage for the winter. Anyway, just curious as to what advice or things to look out for on a detail like...

i've looked high and low but all I found was one review. I'm looking to see what you guys think of the Hitachi Rotary. I just recently got rid of my Dewalt and I really like the design of the Hitachi along with the 5 year warranty. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

So my bright roommate sat on the hood of my jeep. Now I have a slight indent in the hood that I'm praying will pop up once it gets warm. If it doesn't any idea how much it'll cost to get it fixed?

I have a customer who owns his own commercial real estate business and because of it does a lot of traveling from Cleveland to Cincinnati once a week or so and his car of choice is a 2007 Corvette. Basically the car was trashed, and he's very particular about how it looks when I come out and do...

I detail this car ever spring and fall and do a few cleanups during the summer on it to keep it looking great. Anyway, the owner decided to get a clearbra installed and he wanted the paint perfect before it was applied. So right off the plane from FL with 43 lbs of detailing stuff in a rolling...
