    Blackfire Total Polish & Seal VS Optimum Poli Seal

    Hey guys, I am looking for an AIO product to include with my basic detailing packages. Long term protection is not my goal, I am looking for something to give a nice shine and clean the paint well. Some correction would be nice, however I understand these products cannot do it all. Which one...

    Here is a weird question....but I have to ask...

    Assuming you are doing paint correction, that requires 3 steps for example. First step with a wool pad, second and third with a polishing pad. Do you polish 1 panel at a time with all 3 steps before moving on to the next panel or you go over the entire car with the first pad (wool in this...

    Lighting in garage....anyone use incandescent bulbs?

    Greetings fellow detailers, I am starting to setup my garage for detailing and the first order of business is the lighting. I have been experimenting with some fluorescent tubes and I don't like them. It's so hard to see any defects in the paint, except for RIDS. Does anyone use...

    Tuf Buf Black Lambs Wool Pad vs Lake Country PFW

    Greetings all, I currently use Lake Country PFW pads for correction with M105 and almost all the cars I have had to do some correction work on, it doesn't seem to be removing the swirls. I have even worked on Hondas which have softer paint and it was barely eliminating any of the defects. In...

    When to use small pads?

    Hey guys, I was just curious as to when you use the small pads during a polishing session? For example on a smaller compact car like a Civic, would you use a small pad to polish the fenders? It seems like the more I think about it, the more using smaller pads makes sense except for bigger...

    Stuck with small garage...

    Greetings all, I have been viewing the forum for a long time. I was curious as to how many detailers here on the forum work in a single car garage. My wife and I purchased our first home this year which we could not refuse due to the price, however I am now stuck with a small garage, around...
