I recently had a co-worker approch me to do a paint corrction on his F150. I looked at the truck and decided that it needed me. This thing was trashed, even after I worked for 8 hours it was still in need of a new paint job. However it did look 300% better. The rims on it had never been...

This is an '05 Tahoe that I did last week. This is only my second paint correction I have done. It was exciting because it was black and I knew I would find out quick if I knew what I was doing... Method Rims-fender wells: Purple Power 50/50 Washed: Megs Gold Class Clayed: Megs Clay-while...

I live in a town where it is technically illegal to run a detailing business out of your home. You cant get a business liscense because of the drainage issues. I know of a couple of people in town, one being right across the street that the city has fined and shut down their operation.. Does...

I did a test on my Grand Caravan today. Just did the hood with M205/white pad via the PC7424. Did the 50/50 thing in the middle of the hood---I could see no difference at all. How long do you polish in one location?? And what is "flash"?? I may need to use M105 first, but not really sure...

I have just recently acquired my PC7424xp. I have not used it to polish yet but have done one job of wax application with it. I was very impressed at how nice the paint looked using the machine. I put on Megs Gold Class liquid wax, then buffed it off with my Craftsman buffer and mf bonnets...

Anybody out there know of anyplace to get Meguires, or Blackfire, or any other product stickers, or flags, or tshirts or stuff like that??:huh:

I have seen a few sander/polishers for sale here lately. Has anyone ever tried to polish a car with one of these machines?? They are very cheap, but it just seems to me; not having ever used anything but a buffer; that they would cause more problems than they would solve. Any thoughts??

I currently only use Vinyex on the interior surfaces. I like it because I dont really like the high shine, greasy look on my dash. Should I be following the Vinyex with something else or is it good by itself???:huh:

I have owned this Altima since October. The previous owner did not care for it the way it should have been cared for. I thought there were just super stuck on bugs on the front, but upon further inspection I found that there is actually etching in the clear coat...Can it be fixed or do I need...

I recently tried the clay bar thing on my '05 Altima, gray in color. I only did one part of the hood to see what it looked like. When I was done the hood had all kinds of marks all over it. I applied some liquid polish which covered some of the marks, but they can still be seen. Any...

Hey gang, I have been officially dubbed the "Midnight Waxer" in my cul-de-sac after neighbors saw me beautifying my ride at 12:30 a.m. Little do they know I was up until 3:30 a.m. and spent anonther three hours the next day. Don't think my wife didn't notice. Anyway, among the many steps...

I was at an auto specialty shop and saw some 3M glass cleaner in an aerosol spray can. I gave it a try and did not like it. Tried numerous different ways to apply but left streaks. Stoners all the way.

Could somebody tell me the differences/similiarities between the following: Klasse AIO P21S Paintwork Cleanser 3M IHG 3M FI II Can either of them be used after using Dawn and Claybar prior to wax to prep the paint or should a combination be used? Thanks

Any tips or tricks for washing these things. I tried mild detergent soap (ivory) and warm water. Hard to know how much I should be getting out of it. Also on my PC 7336 it has the numbered settings but I did not see anywhere where the RPMs = the numbered setting. The 3M website suggests...

Hi Gang, From an order placed months ago with carcareonline.com, I received a free box of P21S windshield wipes. I tried using them on the inside of my windshield at that time without much luck. I tried them again this weekend but got the same crummy results. The product went on way too...

Allright, I am ready to put the winter layer on my '00 Barritz Blue 540i tonight. Below is a list of what I have in my garage so which products should I use and in which order? I washed my car today but did not use anything but my Sonax so I am not sure if I need to strip the wax off or just...
