I've seen quite a few topics in the past about fixing pads that have the velcro seperating. The biggest question is usually what kind of glue to use to fix it. Well here's what I did and it worked great. Gorilla Glue. You can get it at walmart. I just glued the velcro back to the pad with...

Would you guys say that Poli Seal is about equal in abbrasiveness to Meguiars #80? I received a sample bottle of poliseal last fall with a purchase of ONR and just tried it out today. I did a test area on my back bumper side by side against M80 (my usual polish) and here's what happened...

The Story: THis car was beat up pretty bad last fall from a tornado that came through town. It ended up needing a lot of body work and a complete repaint. Well, where to begin. After 3 months, the owner wanted his car back from the body shop. They rushed the final buffing and there were...

I'm starting to get fed up with my black car. It seems I can't keep it swirl free no matter what I do. I polished my paint to about 98% swirl free a month and a half ago. I have since washed once or twice a week (I have to, it's black) but always use the 2 bucket method and am very careful...

So I was polishing my passenger side door and rear quarter last night (doing it in sections this time) and was using Speed 5 with Green Propel bad and Megs 80. I didn't have very bad swirls at all, and was having trouble getting them all out in one go. After half the door, I got fed up and...

Just thought I'd share a few pics of my ONR wash from this morning. I love ONR for winter use. It was about 28 degrees out and with my kerosene heater I got my garage to around 50. Perfect for a comfy ONR wash. I can also see that this will be great for days when it's too hot and sunny to...

I was just wondering if anybody has tried using Duragloss 601 as a Bonding agent for any other sealants besides Duragloss. I really like M21 on my car, and it would be nice to use 601 to get a little longer life out of it. Just wondering if anyone's tried it or can think of any reasons not to...

I detailed this lady's car a couple weeks ago and I'm pretty happy with the results. Sorry, but I kind of slacked on really good close up pictures. Process: Wash with ONR Clay w/ ONR as lube M80, Green Propel Pad, PC Speed 5 M21 x 2 by PC Blue Propel Pad Megs Hot Shine on Tires Mothers...

Hey everybody. I've been doing abstract digital art pictures for quite awhile. I'm thinking about printing them and framing them to try and sell locally. I'd love to get some feedback on a few of my pictures. Thanks in advance. These frist two are space photo's I did. I'm not sure...

I've just received a call from someone wanting to hire me for a detail. I've done 3 or 4 cars since I got my PC and pads and have had pretty good results. All of the vehicles I've done so far though have been family members cars. This will be my first paid detail from someone I don't know. I...

I've seen some yard/landscaping threads on this forum before so maybe some of you can help me. Over the past couple weeks I started noticing these "holes". They only go about 1-2 inches deep and then just stop. Since they are really shallow I know it's not moles or anything. Well, being as...

I use the Orange Blast from Walmart as my primary APC. I've got some full strength, 4:1 and 10:1. I was washing a car with serious bugs on the front and without thinking grapped a mix of my 4:1 OB and sprayed down the front bumper. I will say that it cleaned the bugs off amazingly well. I am...

I've been back and forth between the Edge2000 pads and the regular propel pads. I don't have the backing plate yet so this is the time to decide. I've found the Propel pads for around $7 each compared to $17 each for the Edge. So my question is whether the Edge 2000 system is that much nicer...

This is my 2000 Integra GSR that I detailed this past weekend. This is my first work with the PC7336 and I used the pad that came with it (I know, I know) Process is below Wash/Dry (2 bucket) Clayed with Megs Clay Bar taped off car SFX-2 by PC @ Spd 5 SFX-3 by PC @ Spd 5 Megs M21 by PC...

Okay, so I finally bought a PC7336 tonight and am so excited. I've had Sonus SFX-2 and SFX-3 on the shelf in anticipation. I've done a fender, door, hood and just started on the front bumper. The product has just started dusting really bad. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and am in the...

Okay, I'm definately a beginner at all of this so be easy on me. This is my mother-in-laws Toyota Camry that I detailed for her a couple weeks ago. Process: Bug and Tar remover on front (was really bad) Wash Clay Megs #9 by hand NXT paste on car and wheels next morning car got coat...

I wash and wax quite a few family members vehicles of varying colors for them and occasionally work on getting out some swirls. Most of the vehicles I do are outside 24/7 and the owners have the mentality that all waxes last for 6 months. I've concluded form reading on autopia the Meguiars...

I'm detailing my mother-in-law's White '03 Camry tonight and tomorrow (keeping it overnight). She's only giving me about $20 to help out with the price of products I use. On my car, durability isn't really an issue since I was about once a month and my car is garaged. This means, I might have...

This is my dad's S2000 that I "detailed" this past weekend. I use the word detailed very lightly since the car didn't require much work. He keeps it garaged and it never sees rain or snow, so it was pretty much perfect. Process: Clay Bar'd 2 layers of NXT Paste 1 layer of Megs #26...

Well, I've been reading through the forum and doing searches for every question in my head for about 2 weeks now. Just did some work on my black 2000 Integra GSR and my dad's S2000 this weekend. Both cars look better than ever thanks to everybody's knowledge on here. My previous setup was...
