Finally setting up the shop. What's a good brand/size/model air compressor for drying, Tornador, Optimum Opti Gun etc etc?

Finally after 4 months, hired a good friend to shoot this Rolls Royce Phantom Drop Head Coupe my team and I performed a Paint Correction and detail on. Just a good behind the scenes video for the public! Enjoy!

A little update: I just graduated from college yesterday, woohoo! I'll be doing some traveling all around Asia to research on some of the latest shops and detailing trends Looking to open the shop in 4 months and go full time I'm currently on my second business name now. Changed it from...

I have a customer with a Dodge Viper that needs a thorough cleaning. He went to the track 4 times in a row the past week and has all these tire bits and pieces, rubber on the lower panels which is a PITA to get off. How do you approach this? APC? Goo gone?

Do you guys do an IPA wipedown after an ONR wash and clay if you're planning to do a correction? Or does clay actually remove all previous sealants and waxes?

Thought I'd share this really cool before/after picture on this Nissan GT-R with soft black paint after an ONR wash without causing a single scratch, marring!

Let me know what you guys think! The new website is still under construction. Full write up here: Aston Martin Vantage Two Stage Paint Correction + Stacking | Vive: Auto Finishing & Detailing | Houston, TX

Has anyone check them out? ??????????????????????????????? They've got some high tech stuff! Spraying wheel sealant through an air gun!

Let's face it, we're not the only detailers/paint reconditioning specialists around our area. There's always someone else that does it as well, but from my point of view, I see these "competition" as a group of specialists or even a fraternity (Don't laugh!). For example, in my area, Houston -...

I really like my Honda Pilot. Plenty of space to store all my needs. But the chemicals etc etc smells are just really bothering me and I think it's such a waste to use a family loaded with leather, DVD system for work. I figured a truck would do a better job, more professional looking and also I...

I've been seeing numerous detailers using this as a cutting phase. What's the secret or info behind this?
