This is a rather stupid story but worth reading : On the 29th of March I ordered some products : A PC (Finally !!!), Optimum polish & compound, Megs DACP, some pads, .... I ordered them online, payed trough paypal and had a conformation with a tracking number. Items left at 1th of...

Just received a call from a friend. He's currently busy "renovating" a house and has just installed the bath room. The new bath tub was in polyester (with some white coating) After installing the tub, mother in law "polished" it with a brillo pad and some agressive scrubbing soap. The bath...

Ok, this topic is rather "fragile" because there is money involved but here it is : For the past year, I surfed the net, browsed forums and looked for info about serious detailing. Here in Belgium, car detailing like you guys do is not as normal... The best is a rather "basic" detail at a...

Can holograms be detected using a 500 watt halogen light when working indoors ? Mostly, there is no direct sunlight in Belgium, and I really want to give good service, that means no holgrams in cars wehn polishing... This is the one that I have : Only a 500 watt instead of 800...

Just started my own business... Now a far friend asked me to do his 911 turbo and Mistubishi Pajero, all silver mettalic with black leather (in my opinion, the easiest colors and interiors) Normally, a full detail costs 220 $ (all exterior clayed, polished, waxed, all interior dry cleaned +...

A friend contacted me for detailing his car. It's a Volvo V70 estate in silver metallic. This will be my first "official" detailing job because I started up a small business, legal with all the correct paperwork (to advertise legal and also to have the chance to contact garages, and people...

What is it that I'm doing wrong. The orange cutting pad (from Sonus) is soo hard that my rotary start bumping and skipping, no matter what I try, I also have this problem with other "cutting" pads. Even on 1000 or 1600, with lot's or no polish, straight or at an angle, lot's of pressure or...

Again, a really "hopeless" car that I did. It belongs to one of my best friends. This is a real classic one, very sought after here in Belgium, about 140 bhp but boy, does this is fun to drive. The car itself was in a really poor state, all black trim was white, full of swirls, litlle dents...

Hello all, After 6 months, it's again time to place a small order.... :bounce Are there any discounts/coupons were I can get a nice discount with ? Last time I placed an order, and 3 days after I got a mail that I got 20% off, so now I don't want to happen this again... This time I'm...

Is it really worth ordering (in Belgium !!) a PC. I alreay have a rotary wich works well, but I think I use the PC for darker cars to prevent hologramming and also for faster working were I noramlly put the rotary aside and do the work by hand, like on plastic bumpers and so... I have the...

Ok, I'm contacted by a guy with a Lancia Integrale, full of rally decals... How can I use my rotary on that paintwork without ruin the decals... Some sort like on the pic, except that his car is bleu mettalic with orange/green vynil decals... Can you safely use SRR or so on those...

Today I used the SSR range for the first time (ordered in november, freezing cold....now the weather is getting better...) Those SSR 1-2-2.5-3 are soooo easy to use with a rotary... No sling, no splatter, no dusting. The pads stay "moist" the whole time, just an occasional rinse in a bucket...

As in the title, how do you guys apply it ? Foam or microfiber applicator, dry or damp...? (I stored my container of Natty's with a yellow foam pad inside for the last 3 months indoors, today, on my first detail, the foam applicator was reduced to powder !?!)

Hi all, I don't pos very often, but when I post, it's worth reading, :grinno: The car is a Citroen DS, 32 years old and never seen water, soap or wax ! :scared: The car belongs to a friend of me and he asked if it was possible to "restore" it more or less. Condition was horrible...

What will happen when you let your botlle of OCW for about 14 day's outside, on an average temp. of -5 C°. For the record, this one : Just nothing, I forgot it on my last wash & wax and after putting it inside near the stove, it worked fine !

Today I removed the rear spoiler of my Subaru (to get more "stealth" look) But that spoiler was so tighlty fixed onto the bootlid that it left a mark on the paint. I tried to wetsand it away, wich worked, until I saw that at one place, I sanded trough the clearcoat. Not very much, about 5 on...

I have this gallon of Megs APC sitting here in the shelf. As it is too cold to use it outside, :grinno: , I tought to make it usefull indoor by using it (diluted 1:10) in the kitchen and bathroom... Would it be safe or shall we all turn into litlle green monsters then ?

I post this here, so everybody will see it... http://media.putfile.com/AEGpolisher-S_H16 Warning! Not safe for work (at least, not safe at most uptight companies in corporate America). Brief (but hilarious) nudity. -- Tort

This is a rather cool video that I made about my girlfriend driving to Walmart... When it was a sales weekend... Sit back and enjoy... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-781163969053975339&q=m+coupe :D

I opened my box of Natty's today, freshly received from the States and saw that it was a litlle "crumbly" at the edges of the box. Is this normal or do I have a problem now ?
