So I am wetsanding a nice Trans Am today. My friend gets a paint job, gets taken for his money. The guy charged 700, no wetsand no buff. Said his buffer broke and offered a raincheck. So 8 months later he wanted it done right. To start I havent done it in a while. SO I got some 1200 Megs...

I have an 05 Explorer with the appearance package. V8 and Eddie Bauer wheels, trim etc. So I put a coat of Megs 20 on my wheels. A month and a half later they are still protected. I use the pressure washer and the dirt just sprays away. Wheels still feel smooth and bead nicely.

Of all the single digit cleaners available which would u reccomend keeping in the arsenal. I have 66, 80, 83, and 82 on hand. I have some 3m rub itII also. It works pretty well. I dont like to cut real hard. So what in the megs line is equivalent. I switched to Megs last year. Would like...

Just seeing what some of u guys like to use on leather. I used to use a real mild aall purpose really cut down. I worked in a high volume shop at the time. I now know what not to do. I have the megs cleaner and conditioner in one but it doesent work well for me. Very thick comng out and just...

So heres the deal. I have worked in some detail shops through college and enjoy it. I am trying it as a second job. But at my house it is taking forever to get a car done. Maybe it is my process. How are you guys making any money doing this. In my area a lot of shops will do a detail for 150...

I have a detail coming up with some abused polshed aluminum wheels. APC will not cut it to remove 3 years of winters and gunk without being washed. If I go with a strong acidic cleaner it will oxidize them badly. Once they get to that point polishing them only lasts so long and you have to do it...

I know a lot of it is all in the prep etc. So how much better is Menzerna compared to Megs. I know the Megs 80 and 83 take forever to polish my black explorer. It takes gours just to do with 80 and the pc. If the work time is better I may be interested. I have a post in the trading section...

Curious to try the stuff if anyone has some to sell or trade. I would hate to buy a whole bottle and not like it(which I doubt). So I am using Megs right now. Just post what you would want for some.

Was looking into a garage to detail in on site at my house. I have a lot of property. I thought about going the business loan route but I considered a home equity. My credit is stretched a bit thin. Just not sure how business loans work. I am defeating ghe purpose dragging everything out of...

How do you guys do keeping work in the winter. I mostly work outside and a mobile detailiing gig is no good here. What do you guys do. Dealer work is tough too.

Looking for the equal from 3m. Maybe their medium cut compound? I have yet to try Menz. Power Gloss. As soon as I stop spending my detailing money on weight lfting supps(LOL) I can get some new stuff.

Does Menzerna break down faster that Megs. IP vs. 83 and FPII vs. 80. 80 seemed to take a real long time with the pc.

Pretty much run it from my house. Maybe 1 -2 a week etc. DOnt need to worry about customers getting hurt, people falling, equiptment etc. the only thing I have to cover is customer cars. Anyone know what I would need or roundabout estimates. I am in PA. At this point I am all cash but just...

Are they the same products? Where in the US do they sell blackfire and is it cheaper. I was figuring I would try the menz ip and fp. For my vehicle only. Not customers.

Had the opportunity to try it and dont like. Mine is unopened but had a small sample to try. Bought it on impulse before trying. Interested in some Menzerna power gloss or the finishing polish.

Never tried either product but hear losts of good. I have megs 80 and 83 and dont like the 83. The 83 is unopened but have used before. So how is the Menzerna or Optimum for pc and rotary. Enlighten me and also where can you get Menzerna. Having a hard time locating it. Seems that...

Tried one spot on my car and used nxt instead, Not sure why. It is filled to top still. Looking for megs 8006 ad 9006 pc pads 2 or 3 megs #82 megs #26 in liquid

After your rotary work when you guys follow up with pc will that take away from your finish? I know the rotary produces a clearer brighter finish so I was wondering does the pc actually dull the finish in exchange for removing and slight hologram marks?

I just purchased a pc and I also own a dewalt rotary. I know the rotary does a nicer job but I have been having some probs. I feel it was a technique problem due to the fact that I do not work in a detail shop full time. A couple questions I have noticed I do not hold the pad flat while...

With diminshing abrasives that u need the speed of your polisher what do you guys do with a pc when you cant feather the trigger like a rotary. Just do by hand?
