Anyone know where I can get the Final polish in Canada?

This is taking wayyyyyyyyyy too long. Im using the 4" cutting pads from Lake Country and a Porter Cable 7336 w/ #83 at speed 5-6. For me to completly remove swirls from a relatively small vehicle it is VERY time consuming. I am losing money this way and I need to do something about it...

Im having a tough time taking good quality pictures with said camera. In daylight and night time, the pictures don't seem to turn out like the 'CLICK & Brag' sectioned ones. I understand my detailing process will be a big factor in how the car looks, but even when looking at the background...

I have a black car that is in good condition. I have some very minor swirls here and there that I am content with. I am also tired of the current wax that I have on there and wanted to try something different. I am looking for maximum depth (and wetness). This is what I was thinking...

On my hands I had a 1996 Subaru Legacy LSi. It was a tough detail as the car was never detailed since it came off the lot. Here are some pictures: Before: Hood (best example of the swirls I was dealing with Interior: After (2PM Direct Sunlight)...

I have a upcoming detail where I have to clean a really dirty interior (and exterior). There is dried coffee on the plastic panels inside the vehicle. It is also in some crevases and from what I could tell, it will be a PITA to get off. The oil and what not on the carpets Im not too...

I think this is my 3rd time doing my own car in the last month. Having little success with the previous attemps, I think I brought it to a level I am willing to accept. Anyways, here are the pictures: Hood (where most of the swirls were) Passanger Fender...

I have access to both a PC 7428 and a 7336. Using lake country pads and/or DACP/SSR2.5, the swirls seem to laugh at the combo. LOTS of passes and product application is needed to even get any results. Doing a hood could take me 2 hours at this rate (if not more). Not to mention the...

I recently started my whole car detail all over. I washed it with Dawn to get rid of all the previous wax and what not and went at it. This was my process: DACP w/ LC Cutting Pad SSR 2.5 w/ LC Polishing Pad to get rid of hazing AIO w/ Polishing Pad Clearkote VM w/ Polishing Pad...

I have used my 2 sets of Lake country pads only a few times and they are already starting to fall apart. The 'cutting' pads have been used maybe 4 to 5 times at best :down. I wash them with dawn right after use. This is what they look like: Sorry for the dark picture (with flash...

A 1998 C230 I was working on had some serious swirls. I have used Poorboy's SSR 2.5 before with good (not amazing) results on swirls, so I thought #83 would be a better bet. Well after 3 passes at speed 6 on my PC 7336 w/ a Lake country cutting pad, some swirls were still present. I went...

I did my friends 2000 Golf today. It was in TERRIBLE shape and I thought the majority of the scratches on it were incorrectable. Some Before shots: Afters In Next Post.

I used some Poorboys SSR 2.5 followed by some AIO and 2x SG and my car is looking amazing. I was wondering if it would be wise to cover the SG with some NXT tomorrow? If not, what would be a good idea to top it with, if anything?

Its RUST!!!!!! :down :mad: Giant pics Batman, I know. I know that I will have to remove the side skirt to get at the rust and thats not a problem. The thing is I want to prevent the rust from 1) spreading 2) coming back 3) ruining the whole car Im guessing I will have to...

I am going to be washing a car, in preperation for claybar, that has had no previous wax on it. Should I use a normal (for example Meguiares) car wash soap or go for something that would eliminate any oils/wax (if there was) from the cars surface? In addition, since I am going to be...

I try to keep my car in good shape through out the year. This has brought the attention of a few of my friends in particular, who wanted to me to do the same for them. I enjoy the work and eventually would like to turn it into a 'weekend' business. Starting out can be tough and I want...

I've been using Meg's #2 to remove swirl marks that I had on my sister's old car. I am not totally satisfied with the results to want to use it on my own car. I am looking for an alternative. I guess I would need something more abrasive to get better results? At the same time, I have...

I have a RSX Type-S and the headlights (JDM HID) I purchased had some scratches in them. I wanted to get rid of the scratches so I looked around on the internet and saw a few tutorials. One had wet-sanding included, and to me seemed like the only viable option, as the scratches were quite...
