    Sams Club offering HeadLight Restoration

    Wondering if anyone knows whose system it is. I talked to the guys there and they are sanding (they didn't know the grit but it sounded like just one girt paper) followed by a spray can of sealer and a heat lamp. Again they said 'it's just a hot bulb'. All for $29.95

    What kind of paint did body shops use 40 years ago

    Sorry for all the incoming, but a fellow stopped by who owns a 1911 Pope Hartford that he said was painted forty years ago. Seems some workers were spraying above his garage and he just noticed some over spray on the fenders, etc. Said he would be traveling and back in town in a few weeks. So...

    Vehicle Wrap Wax Recommendations

    Potential plumbing company that has approx. 12 vans that are wrapped. My limited Google search said not to use a carnuba wax but a silicone based was; which as I understand it can be difficult to remove (?) Any suggestions appreciated.

    Rupes or Makita 9227CX3 ?

    My Dewalt rotary was stolen. And although I have only had occasion to use it half a dozen times, I would like to become more proficient with the rotary. I currently have a couple of new GG RO's, a HarborFreight RO and a Flex 3401. Question is, the Rupes is twice the cost of the Makita and...

    Clear Bra Removed - What to do about this "Line"?

    //edit Eh... never mind. Buffed it to where it's almost invisible. First time removing a bra (well you know :redface:) and I'll be sure to inform the customer of the expected difference in paint shades. 02 Audi A4 and the owner wanted the clear bra removed after 11 years. Not much of a...

    05 Porsche Turbo S

    I need to vent. Carmon Red Metallic is NOT soft. And this one looks like this: So having gotten to like the D300/OptMF pad combo I was all fired up about how this would more or less be a piece of cake. I have a supply of the new B&S MF cutting pads and had assumed they would...

    Lotus Super 7 - Suggestions for Aluminum?

    This will be coming in late next week: It's pretty trashed. Driver side fender cracked from the owner using it for leverage to get in and out. But it's the unpainted body that I can use some pointers on. Not sure if I should use wool or what? Been looking at these two products...

    Hot Water Pressure Washer worth the investment?

    Been thinking about this one: Shark Handtruck Electric Hot Water Pressure Washer-2 0GPM-1400PSI-2HP-120V-20Amps-HPB-201407D For a couple of reasons. First is to be able to clean the wheel wells better. Many times the clearance won't permit a brush to get between the tire and the fender...

    '04 Red Challenge Sradale

    2500 miles on this '04 and it was swirled almost everywhere. So the story goes that the go to guy in town who performs the maintenance on exotics won't refer the customer but brings them to my shop and wants a discount so he can upcharge the customer. Other then that, he acts like Heavens...

    APC in Steamer?

    Thinking of quick details. I know some folks feel steaming vents just pushes the dust and dirt down into the ducts. So my McCulloch, which costs $120 +/- is going to be the guinea pig. Thought is, APC would help to breakup/dissolve the grime and , hopefully drastically reduce or eliminate the...

    Cleaning Prius Windows

    I've done two details on them in the last couple of weeks and no matter which brand window cleaner I use I have to re-do them three times with a lot of muscle. They seem to leave a 'film' after wiping them down with glass cleaner, actually scrubbing using a Stoner reach tool with a Huck towel...

    Extractor 100PSI - To High for Upholstery?

    I do have a VX5000 steamer but it takes way to much time to do carpets/floor mats. So I've been researching Extractors. Wondering if/how folks use these on cloth seats. Seems to me they'd inject way to much water into them and that I should just stay with the steamer to clean seats. And...

    Hot Water Pressure Washer for Engine Bay?

    My first year in business and the Winter slow down has me considering wholesale (dealer) business. I've lurked so many threads about not using water (read pressure washer) on engines and while I agree to some extent, I've had no problems thus far taking precautions to duct tape off most...

    AllRoad - Bra Glue removal + Roof ?'s

    Don't know how long ago the bra was removed from this '03 (the customer just purchased it), seems like it's been this way for years, but the residue won't come off with 3M Adhesive remover. : I tried a little D300 on a MF towel, rubbed it in by hand, and while it appears to do the trick...

    Don't know how long ago the bra was removed from this '03 (the customer just purchased it), seems like it's been this way for years, but the residue won't come off with 3M Adhesive remover: So, at the risk of getting banned from the forum, I tried a little D300 on a MF towel, rubbed it in...

    Is it me or the 5 Series paint?

    2012 black metallic. Just couldn't get it to 'pop'. Typical BMW orange peel. Two step. D300 w/Optimum MF at first, then switched to SurBuf. I found it took less passes and the marring was about the same. Finished with 205 and LC Flat blue. Had some Griot's Paint Prep. So wiped down with that...
