I used #9 followed by #7 and topped it with MPPP. I was happy how this combo really made that silver come alive. What a great vehicle to work on!

My future father-in-law just bought a 1979 Corvette, White Pearl. There aren't many paint problems to speak of other than a few swirls. What I want to know is which sealant and wax to use on it, as I haven't worked on many white pearl finishes. I have the following, but if there's something I...

I was referred to this customer and told the paint was in terrible condition. When I looked at it, I had never seen such bad swirls and scratches. It almost looked like it was wet-sanded improperly and never buffed. The guy just bought the car, and got a GREAT deal on it, as he had the...

Just curious how others are keeping track of customers and detail info. Right now I'm keeping all my customers in my Palm in a separate category in the address book. Then in the "Notes" section, I list their vehicle(s), date work was performed, what work was done, and price charged. I...

My grunt microfibers get pretty filthy. Usually I rinse them thoroughly until the biggest of the dirt is out of them, then let them hang until I'm ready to wash a load of em. Anyone soak them in anything or spot treat them with Shout or something? I'm getting them pretty clean, but...

A customer of mine is going to be participating in the One Lap of America, Cannonball Run at the end of the month. He has done this before, and said the front of the car gets absolutely covered with insects. He asked me how to prevent damage and expressed his concerns, since I've detailed...

Someone I know from a VW forum I'm on. I'd love to work on his car but I doubt he wants to fly me out for it :) Any of you guys in either area want to hook up with him? He lives in Miami and goes to school in Boston so I'm assuming either area would be good for him.

I'm working on a Lotus 7, and the entire bottom half is unpainted aluminum. After doing the (painted) upper sections, I started on the bottom with DACP and the maroon cutting pad on the DA. Aside from gumming up my pad and turning it pitch black, it wasn't creating any good results. I don't...

I searched on this quite a bit, but every situation is different of course. My landlord has quite a collection of cars, as well as a great deal of respect for the detailing work I do. I recently detailed his Lamborghini Countach (black) which was in terrible condition. Looked like it was...

OK, I have the PC 7336SP. I have the Meguiar's backing plate and Meguiar's SoftBuff pads. Is my counterweight correct or do I change it?

I recently got a wool cutting pad that screws right into my PC. The guy at the pro body supply shop said it would work well to remove water spots with a fine cut cleaner he sold me by Malco. What do you guys think of this? Is the wool pad OK to use with the PC? What's the recommended technique?

Hello. I hang out on Superhonda's detailing forum and finally found you guys. Good to be among fellow enthusiasts. I just bought the PC 7336 and the accessory kit from Meguiars. I was thinking of this procedure. -Clay. -Meguiars Clear Coat Prep and Swirl Reducer OR Scratch X (which...
