If I am polishing with the Meg 105 stuff; wipe off a small amount and I see the results I want should I continue to remove the 105 from the entire car before using the 205? I read somewhere that as long as the 105 isnt gunked on in chunks the 105 willm take care of it and there is less friction...

Nothing crazy but I figured I'd try to offer headlight restoration as well so here's my first attempt: Here is an example of my work.

I have been looking at machines for quite some time now to clean car interiors as well as my stuff within my house. I have come down to: steam vapor machine (just shoots steam) hot water extractor (shoots hot water & has very strong vac) steam extractor (shoots hot steam & has vac) Any...

I know 205 is fairly new to alot of us. What speed have most of you found to work well when using a wool pad and Meguiars 205?

I have too many compounds and polishes. I am seeing good results from just Meguiars 205 and 105 and I think I might go that route to remove some extra steps that I feel overlap each other. Have any of you consolidated your "clearcoat repair" process? The other thing that I wanted to hear...

Do you use the product on a wool or foam pad? With the product so strong I am a little worried about using a wool pad and a rotary. I would like to use a foam but I dont want to spend all day on the car.

Do you use the product on a wool or foam pad? With the product so strong I am a little worried about using a wool pad and a rotary. I would like to use a foam but I dont want to spend all day on the car.

Ok, so this past weekend I decided to try to the rotary again. I have only used it 4 times before yesterday in two years. Products: • Dewalt rotary • 3M Waffle polishing pads • Meguiars buffing pads • 3M Perfect It-III compound, machine glaze, finishing glaze The...

Just wondering if anyone was around me, you never know when you can find a fellow detailer. My detailing activites are kind of at a lull because of the weather but I still hand wash the car with the engine running and heat blasting on the windows to keep stuff from freezing. Every once in a...

I've seen pictures and people have this 2 inch extension for the backing plate of the Dewalt rotary. It brings the pads a few inches further away from the polisher. Does anyone know where people are getting these from?

How long does it normally take you people to detail an exterior that needs to be compounded then polished? I went from the PC to a Cyclo to save time (takes me forever to make a car look like the before/after pics in the "pro" section) but I still feel it is still taking me too long. I'm...

Ok, so I have 8 pads for the rotary that I barely use: 4 Meguiars soft buff w-7000 cutting pad 4 #m perfect-it plus polishing pad 05738 Long story short, the are HUGE, it's hard (for me at least, likely not others) to detail any car with alot of curves. I dont have alot of cash to blow...

I am going to try to re-finish a set of Billet (raw alum) rims myself. Time isn't an issue, I have lots of it. The rims are not that bad, the inside obviously is a little worse than the face. The lip's have a little bit of pitting that you can see from one foot away. Can I use this...

For a very long time I have wanted to become a re-seller of detailing products. Something like Autopia, Autogeek, Topoftheline etc... I have a decent (small) base of products I want to start with but does anyone have anything I can read up on. I am looking for something specific to...

What quick detailer spray should I be using with Klasse Sealant Glaze? I know there is a Sonus Acrylic spray that is recommended but is there a Mothers or Meguiars spray I can pick up locally? Sonus has an Acrylic spray and a Carnauba spray; they note the difference. Which Mothers or...

Have any of you detailed alot of cars with vinyl striples? I am worried if my Cyclo polisher gets even close to the vinyl stripe it will take some of ink off the stripe and sort of fade the color (are they delicate). Am I safe or will there be trouble? It sucks because along the entire...

I have a GTO and the car has some aftermarket rims. This is the first year I have had to keep my car outside during the winter. I wont be driving the GTO because I have another car but I want to cover the wheels so water from snow wont just sit on the rim for days on end. I dont want to leave...

I had a PC and bought a Cyclo last year (don't know if I should of kept the PC) but I was wondering if applying a liquid wax with the finishing pads on the Cyclo would make the wax shine a little more than applying it by hand. Has anyone used a machine to apply wax? What wax did you use...

I spent a good portion of today searching old posts and alot of people are suggesting trunk mounted extractors and other units which are just plain huge. I'm looking for the crowd who uses the Ninja, Sensi, Mytee and that size extractor. 1. What kind of vacuum (how many stages and what kind...
