Sold the SS and bought a more family oriented vehicle that doesn't get 13mpg on premium.:think2 Anyways, had it a week and come home to find this. I have no idea where it happened and I'm equally stumped as to how to remove it. I'm thinking the paint will be easiest, maybe a little goof off...

I searched both topics and didn't find what i was looking for so I figured I would knock out both in one thread. I have a Griots RO with 5.5 X 1.25 LC HT pads. I usually use the cyan for 1st step and tang for final. (With Megs 105/205) I have a Black BMW I wanna really knock out the shine on...

I have a friend with a new Challenger he wants me to throw a quick polish on this weekend. Not sure what to do about the decals. I assume you don't polish over them? Do they need taped off like trim or just be careful around them? I plan on throwing some Zaino on after I am done, do I wax over...

This has been all over the net but I didn't see it posted here yet. I lol'd for 10 minutes straight the first time though. Life's hard. It's even harder when you're stupid.

I think I am ready to step up to a Flex. I have done several cars with the Griots RO and it works great, but I am looking to save time/energy and get something a little more aggressive. We have a new baby and I want to step up on my weekend detailing to make up some extra cash while the wife is...

Good friend of mine from work. Had some issues with rust I believe, so he sprayed some inhibitor and it accidentally over sprayed on the fender, if I recall correctly. So not knowing what else to do he hit it with some 1500 grit and that's where I come in. I took a lot of pics, but haven't...

Detail spray.:chuckle:

I have been practicing a lot on the touch up fill/sand/polish process of deep scratch repair. So far so good, but I am looking for a go to touch up paint. At this point, I think I have the process down pretty well, but the super thin and bad matching paints seem to be my biggest issue at this...

I have a Griots RO with a 5" backing plate. I have 5.5 Tang and Cyan HT Pads, and most recently I bought some yellow LC pads. I need something a little more aggressive to be used with Megs 105. The HT's seem to be a little fragile and the yellows didn't seem to cut much more than the Cyan HT's...

Friend of mine's 2000 Honda Civic. Although I loathe ricers, this one is actually pretty badass. Pretty tame yet pretty damned zippy. Toned down Flowmaster pipe, completely built from the ground up VTEC motor. Somewhere in the area of 200hp naturally aspirated. Fun to drive. After driving my...

So I have a good friend that I promised a correction for this weekend on his ~2000 Civic. He dropped it off tonight and I went ahead and got started. The problem I am having is even with a GG RO, M105, 5.5" Yellow pads, double passes of 3 (6 total) at < 1"/min I am only getting about 60%...

If I were to do 2 coats of Z-5 and top it off with a coat of Z-2 in the same day, would I need to put any ZFX in the Z-2 or just the Z-5?:think:

So, I have always been a fan of detailing and I guess after a while here I realized maybe this could be a way to make a little side money since my wife and I have a little one due any day now and she will be cutting her hours to spend time with baby. So I took what I knew, learned a lot from...

I using 105 on a LC HD 5.5 X 1.25 on a Griots RO at speed 5, medium pressure. Not even enough to slow the motor. I do 3 passes (1 = left right up down - 18 X 18 area) brushing the pad in between new areas. I am using about........ a pea and a half, 3 spots. Spread on setting 3. Here's the...

I have a few close friends that I have discussed doing some details for. The only thing I don't feel comfortable with is picking a leather cleaner and treatment combo. Soemthing that will make a nice reviatlization to worn, dry leather. I like Opti products, so without a different...

Used my 2000 Sonoma work truck to practice on. Things has got no love for the last 5 years or so. Washed with Dawn, Mother's clay bar, wash again to make sure perfectly clean, then 105 with 5.5 Cyan Hydro-Tech pad on a Griots RO and then 205 with Tang Hydro-Tech. Spritzed with IPA in between...

video for those of us that are visual learners? I can read it or you can explain it to me all day long, but show it once and I'll quickly master it. Why no YouTubers? Any volunteers?

I did my first full on interior detail on my thrashed work truck today and just used some APC on a microfiber to clean the vinyl before treating it. Worked well, but I would hate to do damage to something I actually cared about. That normal? Is there something better? Also, is there an...

How far do you overlap your 2 X 2 polishing areas? From what I have read on here a lot of people do a small area like 2 X 2, break down the polish and then move to another 2 X 2 area and repeat? Do you overlap half a pad? Explain the IPA wipe down a little. Just a splash on a rag? 50/50...

I heard through a friend that my TBSS was qualified for repaint and clear guard due to rock chipping on the doors and rockers. They gladly took it in and repainted all 4 doors and both rockers free of charge. The bad news is no washing for 7 days and no wax or detail sprays for 30 DAYS...
