    How to polish plastic cladding on Jeep?

    My in-laws have a black 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the ribbed plastic body cladding on the sides. How do you machine polish those? Is there a trick or technique, or do you just have to work you way in with the edge of the pad?

    Doing a QUICK polish, need help.

    My father in law is planning on selling his 7 year old Malibu, he owns it, but it is just a work vehicle for him. He will throw some soap and water at it every 6 months or so, but that is all. The color is that awful "sea foam green", the paint is not damaged, just neglected. I've offered...

    Does pad connect directly to velcro backing?

    My brand new UDM will be arriving in the next few days, so I have not actually seen one before. I have been buying LLC pads from ProperAutoCare and Autogeek so I'll be ready when it gets here. The pads that I have are wrapped in plastic in pairs, and all I see is the foam pad, no backing, no...

    Tell me about the free orange Wolfgang pads

    They have been given away for free with the UDM for quite awhile, are they any good? The 2 polishes I plan on using are Menz IP and FPII, I am going to use the LLC white pads for both (my paint is really in very good shape, light etching and scratches). Are the orange pads worth messing with...

    What was it like in the old days??

    It seems that nowadays with the advent of forums like this one, the internet, incredible products, and sheer interest, that normal people can just about match the competency of a proffesional detailer if they truly want to. What was it like "back in the day", say like late 70's through the...

    I'd like to catch up on the TV show "LOST", I wasn't able to keep up with it the last season, and I see that it will be coming back soon. I've seen some websites and forums, so I can catch up on what happened each episode. What I'd really like to know is, what is the prevailing theory on...

    Why no advertising from QEW or ONR?

    I searched first, but got no results. Why in the world aren't these products advertised? Do they seem to good to be true? Too hard to explain in 30 seconds? No market, besides us? Detailers Union :bat ? seems like too much trouble? I guess they do advertise on car sites like Autogeek and...

    Latest news about the UDM Version 2

    I tried to search for it, but it was spotty at best. From what I've read so far, it seems that it may be released in the spring of '08. It may be up to $200. The "switch" issue should be fixed. Please feel free to add to or correct any of this information. Thanks

    Am I the only one that cares ???

    I was proudly looking at my organized wall of car care products and the plastic containers full of MF's, when I realized that I am involved in a "hobby" that no one else around me cares in the slightest about. My wife likes when the interior is clutter free and vacuumed, thats about it...

    halogen lights for polishing.

    I want to buy some lights for detailing in the garage. I'm looking at one at AdvanceAuto that is a "250 watt worklight" for $9. A few of these will really help light my space, which is really all I need for ONR & Klasse SG. This light is not a "halogen", and from what I understand, I will...

    Any "detailing" TV shows at all?

    I was wondering if there are any shows that I am not aware of that feature any sort of detailing, preferably machine polishing and polishing products. I know I can check out Youtube and Meguiar's website for some "how to" videos. I'm sure I would have seen anything like mentioned already...

    I have a Harley dealer near my house, I am going to pick up some S100/P21s wax, my question is, is there anything in the S100 line-up that is similar to Menz FP? I know that they have the Shine Enhancing Cleanser, is that at all a polish or more like KAIO in its prepping properties? I plan on...

    Meg's G100 vs. Meg's G110

    It is my understanding that the original Meg's G100 is a re-badged PC7424 with a lifetime warranty, and that the soon-to-be released Meg's G110 is going to be a re-badged UDM. Is this correct? And if so, will the G110 have the same lifetime warrantly? I've been seeing more and more people having...
