I haven't posted here in quite a while but I'm always checking in at Autopia to see what's going on. I was reading a post regarding "burning out" detailing and here's what I have found that works for me. First, get all the experimenting with different products narrowed down to a handful of...

It has been said countless times it's almost impossible to burn through the paint or remove major paint imperfections with an orbital polisher. Well guess what? I burned the spoiler on a 2006 Chevy Cobalt today using a LC yellow foam pad with a 1200 grit compound. There were 2 large scratches on...

Here's the link: http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/DYN-61374.html I use this on my Makita 9227 and I can get 95% of all paint defects out with a yellow Lake Country pad and a 1200-1500 grit compound. The thing I love is very little splatter and no swirls. I use this machine at the...

I thought some of you would get a kick out of this. :chuckle: http://www.supercoat.com/seven.htm

Can anyone give me a realistic timeframe on how long this spray wax actually lasts? The company says up to 5 months, but those are probably under perfect conditions. Thanks! Mark

This is a unit I purchased and have been using for over a month now. It is a "true" foaming device that works with any product you use. I have the 2 inlet unit which provides me with a presoak I use diluted at 200:1 and my carwash soap at 600:1. It saves tremendously on product and provides a...

Instructions: Very easy to understand the set up of unit. The picture is pretty straightforward for what it should look like when assembled. Packaging: The unit came in one box which wayed about 50 lbs. Once I opened the box I realized that some serious thought went into getting this unit from...

I just ordered this system after talking to the owner of the company, and I can't wait to start using it. He says if it doesn't produce a 100% spot free rinse, just send it back for a full refund. He says he started this division of his company two years ago, and word is getting out fast. I'll...

I normally don't use waxes on my black dakota, but today I was bored and polished it with Blackfire, then I melted the P21s in a small saucepan and applied the wax onto the applicater using a small teaspoon and waxed the truck. I don't like the liquid versions of wax because of durability, so I...

Are the swirl removers more geared towards being used with the pc or the rotary? I know this has probably been asked before but I can't find the information with the search function.(To many posts regarding Poorboys-That's a good thing) It seems that the products dry to quickly with the rotary...

I'm really curious to know what you other detailers wear when detailing a car, etc. I always wear cotton sweat pants and a cotton t-shirt. I tried wearing shorts and my sweaty legs always left marks on the cars, etc. I never wear any jewelry or jeans because of the scratch factor. Belts are a...

I saw a post awhile ago about AIO being mixed with water as a quick detail spray. I've been mixing 3 oz. AIO with 16 oz. of water and the stuff works fantastic. It does not seperate like someone thought it might because AIO is water soluble. I use this mixture to quick detail, clean windows, and...

I have been posting at other forums for a while now and I can honestly say this is the most civil forum I have ever seen. The people here are respectful of each other, and if their not, they get banned. It's nice to see a place where everyone seems to get along without all the bickering I've...
