When I heard about Meguiar`s discontinuing their 3" pads, I became really disappointed. I couldn`t believe that such a great product wasn`t a hot commodity, but that is business. Then I heard rumors about a punch set being made that could allow for me to make my own 3", 2", and even 1" pads by...

Don`t be this guy! Corvette Leaving Car Meet Shouldn't Have Had A V8, Crashes

This is a recent detail of mine. It is a friends car with Lacquer OEM paint that is extremely faded and dried. I used a number of different products including Meg`s #7 Glaze to help bring back some of the paints luster. Unfortunately it wasn`t enough and needed to be compounded using my Rupes 15...

Just when I thought I had my boat pricing dialed in, roughly $30/ft for exterior buffing, I get thrown a serious curveball. This gentleman would like me to wash, buff, remove mildew from 3 areas (rear, cabin, and front bow), and wax his sunsation boat. I believe it is a 32 foot boat, but the...

Has anyone else had problems with receiving their recent order? I placed an order Mon. 11/30 and I have yet to receive any type of shipping information. Called twice on two different occasions and seperate days, and was told it was packed and being shipped that day. C'mon guys, you are better...

I am polishing a classic car at the moment that has had a lot of body work and some really sketchy wetsanding. So much body work that my paint thickness gauge can't even read the fenders. I have also noticed that the doors and trunk have been wetsanded by hand, but the fenders haven't. But...

Trying to weigh some pros/cons with some wireless headphones or earbuds and wondering what everyone recommends. I have a set of Klipsch S4's that have great sound quality and fit, but they are wired and really get in my way when I am polishing or working in the yard. I have looked into the...

I am debating pulling the trigger on a Bendpak MD-6XP (FREE SHIPPING ) in the next couple of weeks. I think it would be a good investment not only for detailing, but also anything mechanical I would like to do. I don't really have the expertise to work on transmissions so if I can't, it is no...

Well after seeing a post on Facebook from Renny Doyle in regards to something new coming from Flex at Sema this year. I figured I would start a thread speculating any of the new products that could be released. Observations so far..... From Flex: With the release of the Pe8 I am wondering what...

I received the Wolfgang Pad Werks Polishing Pad Cleaner in a Flex Kompakt kit I bought a while back and after using it I felt compelled to do a review. Wolfgang Pad Werks: Description (from ACC): Wolfgang Concours Series provides exceptional car care by combining precise engineering with...

I have been on and off the phone with ACC over the past fews days regarding an order I placed of a 5L of 1z Einszett Colourtec Wheel Cleaner. Apparently one of 1z's warehouses caught fire and some of their chemicals are on back order and ACC isn't sure when they will be back in stock. I just...

*Favorite Wheel Color* With the the "Favorite Paint Color" thread, and me wanting to try something different on my personal car. I figured I would try to get some input from you guys on your favorite wheel color on cars. I like the black wheels, but I think there are PLENTY of cars with black...

I have a customer that has some hammered chrome wheels and I can't seem to get even the slightest defect to come out. I have been using the Megs wheel cone and have tried multiple metal polishes (megs metal Polish, wenol blue, mothers chrome polish) and nothing seems to work. Any advice?

If you have to choose only 3 products by your favorite scent, what would they be? Mine: 1) CG V7 - The orange smell reminds me of an orange flavored drink in middle school. 2) Mothers Showtime - The cinammon smell is very subtle, but smells just like Big Red bubble gum. 3) Auto Finesse Gloss...

Bought my first paint thickness gauge. It's not the greatest one, but all I could really afford at the moment. Can someone give me a rundown with what is considered thick and thin paint?
