Hey guys, I just mixed up some ONR as clay lube. My question is this.. The bottle I used is 24oz and I only wanted to mix up the one bottle, rather than mix it by the gallon.. I worked it out to roughly half a cap full of ONR to the 24oz of water. Will this suffice? Thanks.

Just went to Parts Source to pick up another can of "More Shine" tire shine and it was 50% off, as well as Stoner's Invisible Glass. More Shine= 2 cans Invisible Glas= 1 can Total= $12 and change. Not Bad! :ca

I'd appreciate any info you guys can offer. My brother in-law just bought an 06 BMW 3 series sedan and wants it polished. Before I get into it I'd like to have an idea on how hard the clear is on these cars. Ohh, plus.. He's kind of anal when he's buying something, but doesn't really know...

I've been trying OP-ll and Poli-Seal and I like the Optimum products alot, so I was wondering what some of you think about the more aggressive products from the Optimum line. I'm considering picking up some Optimum Compound and Hyper Compound for jobs that require me to get really aggressive...

Any of you guys spend time in the woods? I'm almost 25 and I've been fishing since I was a kid, and I just started bowhunting in Sept '08. Took a big Doe during my first bowhunt on Oct 7 '08... Then spent the remainder of the season (ended Dec 24) waiting for a buck in a treestand in -20C...

I'm looking at eshine.ca for some polishes and I could use some help deciding on a couple to go with. Fist off, I was wondering how Optimum Polish II would work/look followed by Optimum Poli-Seal. I was also looking at Menzerna products, but the PO85RD is out of stock. BTW, I'm using a...

Just wanted to post up a couple pics of a boat I did the other day. You can see by the pics that it was fairly oxidized. In person it basically looked like a white chalkboard. Every inch of the interior was pretty well "Used" and needed a good workout. BTW, this is my first time documenting my...

I just opened my bottle of Sonus Paintwork Cleanser to try it out and even after shaking the heck out of it, it has no consistency to it. It's watery with very small blobs of product mixed throughout. Just wondered if anyone has anything to say about this product. I'm sure this isn't how it's...

I'm restoring the finish and doing a complete interior detail on my uncle's boat (forget what it is) and saw this at the local box store so I thought I'd give it a whirl with my new rotary. Just wondered if anyone has used this product and if anyone can vouch for this product as being a true...

I've been thinking about ordering some 3M Quickwax Detail Spray, but wanted to hear some feedback on it first. How does it compare to Meg's QD?? Or is it basically the same? Also, can it be used as a clay lube with Sonus fine clay?Thanks in advance. Ryan

Just got my Makita 9227 and ordered some LC pads, as well as the 4" BP & Pad kit. My question is if I'm using m105/m205, which Ultrafina product is necessary to finish off with? I've been reading alot of posts about UF and I thought I'd give it a try. I was thinking Ultrafina SE, but correct me...

I'll have my new Makita 9227 on Monday and I'm looking into some backing plates and pads. If I'm not mistaken, the 9227 comes with a 7" BP, so I'd like to add a small backing plate to my arsenal for spot correction, bumpers, and so on. These are the ones I was considering. I'd appreciate some...

I've been debating between both the UDM and the Makita 9227, and I have one final thing to consider.. How does the PC work on boats? I intend to have both machines, but first things first. So which one does both cars and boats best until I have both machines? Thanks in advance.

I just acquired a nice 50 gallon water tank for my mobile rig and I was wondering what size full port ball valve I would need to feed my 5.5 Honda PW with a 2200 PSi Annovi pump. Any info would be greatly appreciated. -Ryan

You guys probably get this alot, but I'm ready to purchase a polisher and I'm having a hard time deciding on which one to go with. I was originally going to grab the Makita 9227 Rotary, but after alot of reading, I'm wondering if maybe I should get the PC UDM first, then pick up the Makita when...

Hey guys, I have my first mobile job this coming weekend. I'm doing the exterior of my cousin's 06 Mustang GT, black in color. Nothing serious for this weekend. She just wants a good wash, rims/tires, and wax since she's just getting it out of winter storage. I've always done my work...

Hey guys, been reading alot on this site and have found it really helpful, as I'm finally getting started in the mobile scene. I just bought a 2001 GMC Safari Cargo rig and about 2 weeks ago I purchased a 5.5 Honda 2200 PSi PW. Next thing on my list is a good generator. I was at PartSource...

Hey guys, my name's Ryan and I'm 24, from Ontario, Canada. I've been detailing steadily for about 8 years now, and this year I'm finally going to try to make it out on my own. I'm looking forward to absorbing as much useful information here as possible, and it looks like the right place to do...
