I'm in the market for a new foam gun. I've seen this foam cannon thing and I think I like that. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting the cheapest foam gun with the best quality? Any info would be greatly appreciated! ~Albert

I just want to let everybody know that I was kindly invited to the Edge factory last week by the man, the myth, the legend himself-Aaron from Edge. It was a great experience overall and beside the fact that I learned so much about how pads are born, having Aaron show me the detailing tricks he...

Someone give me a good place to find Presta products. There must be someplace were I can get it without having to pay an arm and a leg for shipping across the country. Any help will be greatly appreciated! ~Albert

Thinking about getting HTEC as I have seen many people use it here and they seem to like it. I've read that it has great correction and doesn't dust as much as other aggressive compounds. Currently I am using the optimum line-up, they all work great, but i'm looking for easier use and cutting...

It seems like i've looked everywhere and I can't find any website that carries any Edge wool pads except for special ordering them from the Edge team. So, if i'm missing something, I hope I am, someone please let me know. I really want to get some Edge wool pads for a decent price. ~Albert

So I am seriously considering switching from PC to rotary and having my partner use our PC with 4" pads only for the smaller areas (he's afraid to use a rotary, but i'm sure with practice we'll both be fine). Using a PC on an entire car is just taking to long. Yesterday I compunded and...

One of my friends tells me that every car needs to be "cut with a wool pad" and that nobody can get the same results without a wool pad, he uses a rotary. He works at a dealership detailing cars and claims to know everything there is about detailing. Is this true that one can only get the...

In light of the previous post about the myth's of carnauba wax content in many expensive carnauba waxes. What do people here say that is the best synthetic substitute for the carnauba waxes that are really expensive? What synthetic do you think, optically, is comparable to the Zymol and...

Has anyone polished a 1988 GTi? The color is white and it's single stage, I am doing my friends car next saturday and was wondering if anyone had any opinions or tips on doing S.S. white paint. I have heard it's extremely hard and nearly impossible to remove paint defects. Any help would...

How much would insurance cost yearly to detail cars as a business? or...how much do you pay for insurance yearly for your business and what does it cover? I'm not going to be driving people's cars, it's just for washing and so forth. Incase they say I made a mistake and messed up their...

Who here mists their PC or Rotary pad with a lube before polishing? I've seen people do it and I was just wondering if it was actually neccessary. Thanks. ~Albert

I know you can use paste waxes like P21S with a PC, but does anyone actually do this? It would seem to me like it would be more annoying to take the whole thing out of the can instead of just taking out the neccesary amount by hand. What do people do? Thanks ~Albert

Can anyone recommend a leather cleaner and a conditioner that you would say is the best you've ever used. Preferably NOT a combo cleaner/conditioner. Thanks for any input. ~Albert

I noticed not may people on here use chamois' to dry their cars. Why is that? I thought chamois' were pretty safe. Should I not be using one? Does it marr paint? Thanks for any input. ~Albert

Does anyone here used a wool pad when polishing out swirls? If so how do you like it and how does it compare to, say, an orange LC pad? I'm just trying to see what the market has to offer and how they all colmpare. thanks. ~Albert

OK, so my friend has an Altima with some seriously hard *** paint; he used OHC with LC orange 6.5 on 5 on a PC. I know that we could still pump some more juice out of the PC, but I was just wondering what you guys would suggest. It doesn't seem to be doing anything with what we're using now...

Has anyone heard of/used Ardex polishes or waxes? I know of a Mercedes dealer near where I live that mostly uses their products and I was wondering what people thought of them. www.ardexlabs.com

What does everybody think of megs #2 and then #9 with a DA? Will it give good results? Do you think they're quality materials? they seem to cheap to be good so i'm asking to see what everyone thinks.

What does everyone think of Polycharger wax enhancer? I read that you can add it to any liquid wax and it enhances the protection and shine big time. This seems a little too good to be true, so naturally i'm a little skeptical. Any thoughts?

I wanna know what polish anyone on here would recommend for swirl removal. I've heard many good things about Poorboy's SSR and Menzerna polishes. What do you guys think?
