    Cleaning Rolls Royce chrome

    I have an older (80's?) model Rolls that I am detailing this week. The chrome is pretty marred up. What are you guys using to clean that stuff up? I have some chemical guys chrome polish but will that remove swirls in the chrome or should I just stick to polishes and compounds? Thanks

    Porsche detail after body shop

    I was called to detail and correct what the body shop did wrong.....which was a lot. There were sanding marks, polish EVERYWHERE, filthy interior and red over spray on the entire car. This thing was bad. I had to spend 11 hours between two days to get this thing back to what it should be...

    Removing sap?

    I have a friend of mine that has sap on her car from those fabulous (sarcasm at its finest) pine trees. I am fortunate enough that I don't have to deal with these things with my clients cars. Are there any chemicals out there that will dissolve or help dissolve tree sap? Thanks in advance

    Gtechniq C5

    I posted on another site but figured I'd post on here as well: Holy sh*t this stuff works awesome! I have a client with a BMW 5 series that I see once a month like clock work. He does not wash, or have it washed until I am there. I thought it would be a great candidate to test C5 Wheel Armor...

    single step on Bullitt Mustang

    This car wasn't too bad to begin with but I achieved a better result than I had intended. This was a single step so it did not come out 100% but it came out pretty nice. Some of the panels came out better than others but all in all we were both happy with the outcome. I used the 3401 with...

    Scion XB correction with single step

    I bought this car last year in Feb to use as a daily and work vehicle. I told them what I wanted and not to touch it. Well the only white 5spd was in Louisiana so they drove it down. They had already washed it and swirled it up. It has taken over a year for me to actually do the work that needed...

    Porsche correction

    I don't know if this is a 996 or 997 I'm still trying to learn them all HAHAHA. They called me for a full correction, some of the panels weren't that bad but others were wrecked. The wing being carbon fiber took a lot work. First washed the car with Dawn, I then foamed the car down with DP...

    Lm Vs Z10

    I did a search today between Leather Masters and Z10 but didn't come up with too much. I currently use Z-9 and Z10, and have used them for a few years now. I was looking into LM but they have 2 cleaners and 2 conditioners. Why? Whats different between Rapid S cleaner and Strong cleaner...

    SL65 AMG Black Series

    This was a beautiful car. I never thought I would see one of these since there are only 175 of them. Hell I haven't seen the CLK Black Series yet. I was called to polish up some scratches on the quarter panels and trunk. I did not get pictures of the areas because they were very difficult to...

    New PCXP

    Quick question, I was looking to get a PC for interior carpets and leather, vinyl, etc. Will the brush attachments for the old PC work on the new XP? Thanks guys. I would get the old one but the new one is cheaper at AG so I figured I'd go with that one if it accepts the brush attachments.
