    Trial/Sample Size of M105 for $$

    Is anyone with a larger supply of M105 willing to sell me some of theirs...preferably right around 8oz? I polish so infrequently now that I hate to buy the bigger bottle and would prefer to pay someone for a smaller amount. Thanks! Richard

    Surbuf and Menzerna

    Can anyone shine some light on the effectiveness of using a SurBuf pad with PowerGloss on a PC7424? Every thread I read mentioning SurBuf also mentions the use of 105....I'm not sure I have seen anyone use a compound other than 105 and because I only do my own cars now, I have no desire to...

    Looking for Tire Shine Product...

    I have used all of the boutique brands of polishes and waxes over the past nearly 5 years of my detailing obsession, but one thing that has remained unchanged is my use of Meguiar's Hot Shine for tire gloss (well, I used Stoner's More Shine Less Time and thought it was too dull). The reason...

    Mother's Mag and Aluminum vs. All Others

    I have been a relatively big fan of Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish for the past few years in my semi-limited use of the product. I have used it to polish my F250 bed rails (nearly 20 feet of diamond plate), my aluminum wheels, and a number of exhausts. That said, as I come to the end of...

    Gilmour Settings (with CG)

    I finally received my Gilmour from CG today along with Citrus Wash and Citrus Wash Daily. I have heard that when too heavily concentrated, CG Citrus will strip wax, which ordinarily would be fine, but I am trying to walk the line between heavy cleaning and stripping. So in reading the...

    2007 F430 Spyder

    I did this detail sometime back in October, but never got around to posting it. Ive been pretty busy and as business picks up, I spend less and less time here on Autopia. This customer contacted me after seeing my work on FerrariChat and we set up a detail for his play car (F430). He also...

    Trim/Platic Restoration Products

    Well, In reading this thread I decided it might be best to make a 3 way comparison to help me decide what to buy for my mouldings. I was hoping those in the know or those who have used 1, 2, or all 3 of the below products could chime in with what they like about each one and which of the 3...

    Wolfgang Interior/Exterior Combo Kit

    Ive had this kit sitting in its original box (everything untouched and still 100% full) for the past 6 months or so and would love it go to someone who will use it: Ive pretty much got WAY too much product for the amount of detailing I am doing and could use the $$. This kit retails for $99...

    2005 Gx470

    This belongs to the wife of one of my better clients (tons of referrals out of him :hifive: ) and was in decent shape from the get-go. The car has 25k miles on it and is used as her daily driver and kid-hauler. The interior was the worst part of the job as there was juice residue and crumbs...

    Acceptable Rates

    As a background: Ive been detailing my own cars for in excess of 4 years, and have been taking on clients over the course of the past 1.5 years. I believe my work is excellent, substantiated by the fact that many of my clients refer their friends to me, and the fact that I have never had a...

    2007 Corvette Z06

    I was recently contacted by a member on Ferrari Chat after he read a few reviews of my work performed on other FChat members' cars. He asked me if we could start up a regimen for his newly acquired Z06 to keep it looking like new all year round. We emailed back and forth, struck a deal on...
