Anyone near Waukesha or can recommend a detailer in Waukesha. Someone that won't rip me off and does a good job. I need paint correction and a waxing. Nothing interior wise. I wish I could do it myself, but I don't have any room in my garage and I don't want to freeze my @ss off doing it...

Was washing the car today and was hosing off one of my wheel wells. At first I thought it was mud, but as I sprayed it with a tight stream from the hose the stain got bigger. I realized at that point that the black was coming off. This car is barely 9 months old. Should this be happening...

I always thought that was a no-no. Isn't that why the plastic trim is taped off? But lately I have been seeing a lot of threads about people using their PC's with Polish on everything from headlights and taillights to side view mirrors with good results. How can this be accomplished...

Let's say I am using an orange pad with Optimum Polish and want to bump it up to Optimum Compound, can I use the same pad or do I need an unused pad? I know not to mix waxes and polishes on the same pads, but I was wondering how this applied to polishes and compounds alone.

Started with a 6 1/2 inch white pad with Optimum polish at 6, nothing. So I moved up to a green pad with Optimum Compound 4 inch at 6. All of a sudden I see this in two spots... Did I just burn my paint? It seems almost raised and it feels like an orange. Can it be fixed?

I taped off my girlfriends trunk last week and tested out the porter cable 7424. I started out with the orange pad at speed 5 and worked the compound (CG Medium Compound) until only a slight haze remained. Then I surveyed how many scratches and swirls I removed. Not too many, so I did another...

So it was my first time with the PC today, I borrowed my girlfriends trunk (2002 Ford Escort) and tested it out. I only had a short amount of time, but I think I have a feel for it now at least. Products used: CG Medium Compound: Orange Pad Yellow Pad Blue Pad I started out with...

I am attempting starting up a little side job with detailing, nothing major, just friends, neighbors, etc. This is currently what I have and was wondering if you see any oversights or something I might need. PC 7424 LC Pads (yellow, orange, white, blue) Chemical Guys - Medium Compound...

Anyone here had any experience with Chemical Guys FABRIC CLEAN-Heavy Duty carpet-upholstery shampoo/odor eliminator (1 Gal) I know the chemical guys make some good stuff but I haven't heard of anyone using this particular product yet. And with a 20:1 recommended dilution ratio, I would be...

Do you guys use any particular brushes to work carpet + upholstery cleaner into fabric floors and seats? Or would an OXO Scrub brush work just fine?

I am assuming you guys transfer your gallons of wax and polish to spray and squeeze bottles. I've seen spray bottles at CG and such but I can't seem to find the squeeze bottles. I imagine they must exist right? lol

I am planning on buying an orbital polisher and have a few questions. I recently (last week) clayed, polished (color-x) and waxed (NXT) my girlfriends car. Now, this was all by hand mind you and I removed only a tenth of the scratches and swirls that are on it. Well, if I get this...

Well, here is the deal. My car isn't dirty, there isn't anything that needs to be cleaned on the interior. But it just smells stale. What do you guys use when detailing cars to give it a nice fresh scent? PS - I hate the smell of those dangling air fresheners.

Was looking around the home depot website for a polisher/buffer and found this one: Heavy Duty Polisher - 5460-6 at The Home Depot Any opinions on it? I know milwaukee is a great brand, but was curious if anyone had any experience with their polisher.
