This past summer I used Megs Overspray Clay, #7 and MPPP. Both with a PC and W-8006 pad. I used TurtleWax's Tirewax on the tires. Good stuff, just doesn't smell all that great and kind of a pain to spread. My camera isn't the greatest but I hope you enjoy them anyway,,,,,,AR Before...

I was browsing the Makita site and found this little dude. It's a 7" rotary vertical polisher. It goes up to 1200RPM so I don't know how well it would for heavy compounding. Looks like it would work well from glazing to medium cleaner polishing jobs. Check it out,,,,,,,AR...

What causes this and the best way to cure it?? There was an excellent write up about it on the SCG forums but I havn;t been able to access the forums for about the last several months or so. I do recall they say a cure to fix it, is to apply not so much pressure and if that doesn't work, try...

Recently I acquired an old school 7" B&D rotary buffer. Some Specs about it are a 6.0 amp motor and a 2 speed trigger (1850/2400RPM) I'm not sure just how old it is but I'm trying to figure out how to put a backing plate on this thing. Either that I can make one. 1 member here suggested...

Ok, Lately I've detailed a few cars and honestly I can say I do not like the PC. I don't see how it makes things faster and easier and after awhile it starts to get heavy when polishing the sides of a vehicle. Just to polish alone, it takes me about 4-5 hours not including Mountain Dew...

The car was shining pretty well to start with, after DACP and NXT, man what a difference! My process as follows: Wash with Pro Cherry Suds, 2 bucket method, and sheepskin mitt Didn't clay, still not sure how to do it without causing excess marring, especially on a black car like...

Hello everyone, Over the past years I have been detailing cars for other people. Though, I don't have the luxury of a rotary buffer, or know how to use one thus far. I don't have a pressure washer, extractor but if it is necessary I can save the money and buy my own equipment if need be...

Yep, I have chromes on my Ranger. there stock, they look like brand friggn new from a distance but up close they look like dog crap!! I let them go too long without a coating of wax or sealant or something on there. The brake dust has gotten to the point of imbedding itself into the...

Usually before I take off somewhere in my truck I let it idle for a couple minutes to let everything get warmed up and get the oil circulated. I've noticed though my truck gets better mileage when I don't let it warm up, if I'm in a hurry to get somewhere. I've also been told by friends that...

Monday I will be doing a 99 Chevy Malibu. The owner only wants me to do the interior. I went and looked at the car recently tonight and I must say, it's going to be quite a task. I can't take pics because I don't have a camera(I know sounds lame) He smokes in it, you can smell it first...

I have a 98 Ranger with a 2.5L 4banger. It takes me about 5mins to get to work so the engine sometimes doesn't get a chance to fully warm up. I usually let it sit for about 5 mins at idle before I take off to let it warm up alittle. When the engine gets warmed up, I turn on the heater and the...

I was told by a member of showcargarage, I'll keep there name anonomyus, that grout sponges are really good for not inducing swirls into the paint. Says you can pick them at home depot. The other side of the coin so to speak, my dad says there used for removing grout between tiles and hold...

I've never even heard of these pads up until today, obviously foriegn pads by there name. Do they work well??? Anthony, I saw in a couple of your posts when I did a search you had some experience with them. You also mentioned they can become difficult on odd shaped edges. I've been wanting...

Hey guys, looking for a website or store I can buy a rotary from, maybe a place like Lowe's would have one??? I'm looking for the more higher line ones, Makita, Dewalt, etc... Thx alot,,,,,91

I ordered this video straight from Meguiars, it's $10 for the video alone and it's 50 mins long. I am very pleased with how much information it gives out and it explains in excellent detail how to use a rotary buffer. Specifically the Makita model, not sure the number on it. They teach you...

Working on getting my truck winterized, I got the detailing part of it squared away now it's time to focus on my mechanicals. I have a 2.5L dual plug 4banger. I would like to run something through my truck, because it has a hesitation problem. I would like to try to run something to help...

Man if you don't have this stuff yet, go get you some!!! This stuff is awesome. It does tend to smear alittle, I don't know if the cold had anything to do with it but man, this stuff made my mom's black GP just "pop" It's been polished and waxed with BF and topped off with FD, excellent...
