Hey guys - I know a lot of you use these regularly. I would say I am doing ~25-30 hours a week with one. I also know there are a few issues with their durability but I seem to be killing them at a pretty alarming rate. The first died when the solder came off the pcb than connects to the variable...

Hi guys - I know some of you have had some issues with XPEL Ultimate and Stealth in the past. I was wondering if I could get some opinions on how it currently stands for those that use it? I'd also like some info on your experience with their customer service.

Hey guys - was using my PC today to apply a sealant, stopped working. (just stopped, was on speed 2), I put it aside and grabbed my other DA but later I was messing with the PC (opened it up, looked fine, cord seems fine), and it wasn't working at all...played with the dial and at speed 6 it...

Hey guys; long time no post. I hope you're all well. :) So, an opinion to ask from some of the pros, I'm kind of on the fence on this one. A few years ago I worked on this car: '67 Stingray ; at the time the paint was thin, but not in a hugely worrisome manner except for a few spots. There...

Hey guys - so I was digging around and I have 3 (ya) PC 7424/7336s in my basement, one has a dead motor and two just need to be re-wired. I've re-wired my Makita about a billion times, but can't figure out the PC. The cords are pulled out, so I can't just look and re-connect a new cord. Where...

Hey guys, not sure if this is allowed, but I've been here long enough that folks know I am not a scammer. :D Anyway, I ordered some gallons of M105 and got...er, a few extra. If anyone wants one shoot me a PM.

Hey guys. Been awhile since I did a C&B, in fact, they aren't even called C&B's anymore. I'm way behind on pictures, but I processed these asap for the owner and thought I'd post. This is a 993 Carrera, it's tracked regularly and was picked up ~6 months ago from a local Porsche dealership who...

Hey guys - this is the car from a few other threads, I finally got to work on it this Sunday for the owner (who drove 4 hours from Windsor, ON!). It was a great car to work on. Overall the condition was good for a 7 year old car, it only has ~6,000 miles on it. Swirls were light, the biggest...

Hey folks, it's been awhile since I posted a c&b, I have something like 60 cars backed up and wanted to start with this one since I promised the owner I'd post it asap! This car is from the same owner as the 427 big block corvette I did last year. I'll also be sanding/compounding restored 1969...

Hey folks - so I've been doing quite a number of orange peel removal jobs lately, full sand 1500/2000/3000 grit, you know the deal. Thing is, I've been doing them by hand with a block. The results have been very good, but I know I'm wasting a lot of time sanding by hand. So, I am going to grab...

Hey guys; just an fyi Costco is having a really good deal on the CR spotless right now: Costco - CR Spotless Water De-ionized Water Filtration System I think the regular price is $400. I just ordered one! Note: AFAIK this is Canada only. Maybe someone in the US can check and see if it's...

...with 30+ year old paint. I worked on this car over the course of a few days; the paint on it was ~30 years old (the owner thinks 34 years) and it'd been awhile since it'd seen any love. It was unfortunately a little thin in some areas (and cracked in others), but overall I'd say we got 99%...

Well howdy, I'm finally catching up on picture processing and thought "Hey, it's been over a year since I posted a detail", so what the hey...Not sure why I picked this one, it was recent and was pretty long, so it wins. The car is a 2000 M5, carbon black. The owner bought it recently from a...

I'm not sure where to start, it's been a long time since I posted any work so I will just try to blurt out the important stuff and just post polish jobs. Porsche C4S, 2004, never detailed; it's a track car so overall it wasn't too swirled, but had a lot of pitting and rubber issues. Clay...

This month I've had to contact three different detailers about copying parts of my website verbatim, along with hot linking pictures. I'd like some insight on how people can think this is ok, and what you guys generally do in these situations. One of the offending sites removed the content, the...

Hey guys - this was today's detail. I have a backlog of c&b's but this one was worth skipping over for. Car is a 993 Turbo, in exceptional mechanical condition but with some paint issues. The owner mentioned to me on the phone that he saw a "variation" on one of the fenders. When I arrived...

The cobblers kids really are barefoot... Really I just wanted to show off what a moron I am. I haven't had a day off in a while, so my car was neglected for 4 months (ya...); after like 10 weeks I sort of knew I was in for it, so I just let it go longer. Not smart...Anyway, when I finished...

Can't seem to make a post, just testing.

Hey guys - just thought I'd post this. I did a review of Concorso elsewhere but I thought you guys might appreciate this since I actually took a video. Anyway, there's been a lot of talk about some of the more expensive waxes lately - I'm not trying to start any arguments or a "this is better...

Hey guys; thought this car might be worthwhile to post. I have a few more I'll get to tonight I think. 1991 Ferrari F40, couple thousand miles on it and and a few too many hack detailers. It was pretty swirled up, lots of holograms; the paint was very soft. Actually it was very thin too, you...
