So, I did a full interior detail today on my mustang and I ran into a problem. When I bought the car it had the dealer installed plastic stick-on covers over the floor mats, then the dealer mats over those. Well, the day I got the car I took the driver's side plastic off, but I left the...

Whenever you're finishing a customer's vehicle and you mess something up; lets say you burn through the clear on a side skirt while polishing, how do you tell your customer about what you did to their precious car? I've never done anything harmful to a customer's vehicle *yet* (lets hope i...

I was thinking earlier and I got to wondering why a pad turns the color of the paint when you're removing oxidation. Like, if you're removing oxidation on a green car, your white pad becomes a green pad. I understand the concept for a SS paint, but why is this the case on a clear coat? Also...
