As I am now just an amateur ocd enthusiast, I am seriously considering making this a second career. There are a number of opportunities for me to enroll in a professional detailing course and my goal is to learn the basics. The cost for these courses range from about $800 to over $4000 plus...

Is this something new or have I not been scrolling down the site page far enough? SuperiorCarCare has been offering some hellacious deals lately. Best, Tom

Ok, now I'll really show my ignorance. Just received one of these and I'll be goat slammed if I can figure it out. The instructions are sketchy at best for a novice. Does anyone have any experience with it and possibly help me out? Don't want to clutter up this site so I can be reached at...

Please pardon my lack of understanding...are these two sites/companies related? Thanks, Tom

Keep in mind I am fairly new and only an enthusiast. 52split recently posted a thread denigrating Autopia's customer service. That thread appears to be locked so forgive me for bringing it up again. I recently ordered, during that 15% off (no exceptions) and free shipping sale, Rupes 21...

Enthusiast here. Car has been clayed, polished and waxed. I have the PC XP and a myriad of pads plus a number of product. The paint is swirl free but has a bit of self induced marring that I can live with. The harshest product I've used is M205. Of course the paint looks terrific in the shade...

A liitle insight from you pro detailers please... At present simply an enthusiast working on my own cars and as most here probably OCD. Am retiring soon so might consider working on other folks cars. As a former very successful boss once said to me, "perfect is a good place to start and we'll...

Just curious as to how you pros set up your business. What motivated you to one over the other or are you neither? Thanks and best regards, Tom

Please help this deer looking into the headlights of a Mack. I've researched the threads and cannot find an answer. I have the XP and am considering the Rupes 15. What, other than the throw, is the advantage of the Rupes or a Flex over a DA, especially at that price? I am currently an...

Washed my black car 2 days ago, used CP Eraser and put on a coat of BF AFPP with a PC XP and LC red pads. Looked pretty good as the paint did not need correction. I wanted another layer and am biased toward carnauba so after washing the car again today I topped it with BF BlackICE by hand. The...

I have a gallon that I'm willing to break down into 4 x quart samples if anyone is interested. I'll pay the shipping charges. Just a feeble attempt to try to repay folks for the help and guidance you've all so freely given. I've gone through 3 gallons on the wheels of our cars and this stuff...

First, this is all Todd's fault...him and his "dam" 15% sales. Bought the CP Eraser for the first time and thought I knew what to do with it. Not so much now. My understanding is that it can be used to strip the old wax off. I plan on using Sonax Perfect Finish to clear up some minor scratches...

I see what you pro's do with detailing and am amazed. A little background... Bought my black '07 Jag XK a little over a year ago. On my previous cars I'd done the wash regularly (2 bucket, huh? - grit guard, huh?) and waxed them twice a year. Had no idea what a clay bar was and was clueless to...

I am an OCD enthusiast. Black intermediate hardness paint on my car with self induced marring. Plan is to use Klasse AIO with a PC7424XP with a green, maybe white LC pad to eliminate the marring. Will the Klasse eliminate the marring or is it just a filler and if so, what do you recommend? I...

Need to eliminate some self induced minor scratches on my car. As a newbie I didn't figure out that WW drying towels do not last forever and apparently put the scratches in there myself all over the car. While the scratches are not noticeable in the shade, I know they're there and it drives me...

Have already been " lurking" for a few days. Didn't even know this forum existed until I finally read the flyer in my last Autopia order. I'm interested only in making sure my wife's and my cars look their best and so far I have gleaned a ton of information. I really started payng attention to...
