    jeffsuggs's Channel - YouTube I have a great way to polish rims that have never been polished before. Check out the video first, to see if you like the work. The rims are featured at the end of the video. My comments in the beginning of the video have nothing to do with people that do detail work, I am talking about the other overspray companies. The rims in this video are damaged with iron duct from a steel plant overspray release. The rims were never polished when they were new. They are actually very cheap rims. Anyway it is a great way to dress up a customer's ride. Then throw in restoring the vehicles trim and molding pieces as I demonstrate in my custom door package. This is a great way to give your ride a custom look without repainting or replacing parts.

    I agree with you Charlie. I think how someone handles criticism shows a lot about their character, and the comments he's made do reflect on him. At the same time, I'm feeling a little bad that we piled on him as hard as we did. I think most of us here have never felt that much animosity aimed our way all at once, so while I personally wouldn't resort to crude sexual insults (I'd like to think I'm a little more clever...), I can understand why someone would get defensive at least.

    God you're such a hack.

    Quoting you from one of your own videos...

    the claybar works in a fashion that it mills down a dot till it's creamy...evaporated into a liquid. This pushes it off[speaking of razor]...because this paint is so strong, you can't mill it down so this right here pushes it off.
    What the hell are you talking about. Mills it down till it's creamy?! evaporated into a liquid? Are you on drugs?

    Jeff,

    Do you charge for your polished trim pieces? I need to add this to my detaling treatments. This has got to be the coolest thing I have ever seen. Polished moldings and plastic door handles. Talk about saving money on dressing. Have you ever tried to polish tires? I ca't wait to get into my shop tomarrow.

    jeffsuggs's Channel - YouTube Hard water stain removal videos. Making comments is not what everyone did. First they all called me a hack, and everything other negative comment they could think of. Then your buddies started making fake Youtube accounts to slander me and my work. I only started saying those things hoping that just one of those scared little boys would at least show his face. The girls on my Youtube account are not real friends guys, they repeatedly sent friends request till I confirmed them. Now on my Facebook the Russian, Japan, China, and those girls from Dubai, are my friends.

    The reason everyone has been treating me with so little respect is that sometimes when you see something you can't do or figure out how is being done , you deny it. What you all can't deny is the results of my work. I can show anyone how I am doing these things, but you can't start off by calling me a hack. If anyone on this site can do the same repairs then I would have seen it on the net somewhere. The videos are one of a kind, if there are no others like them. No one has ever posted a video of auto trim and molding repair textured or smooth. These are things that I have had to learn in order to remove overspray from every piece of the vehicle. Everyone should speak to everyone else like they want to be spoken to.

    Scooby24 do you even know how the clay works. It has to mill the overspray off layer by layer. If it did not work in this way, it would scuff the paint even worse than it already does. I have not just clayed a few cars a week as they come in the shop. I repair over 500 vehicles a year. I have clayed thousands of vehicles. Try sometime claying through your favorite wax and see how it works for you. Just a little of ivory dish washing liquid in a spray bottle and start claying. You will not hear the noise that you normally hear when using the clay bar.

    jeffsuggs's Channel - YouTube Harley Davidson repaired from overspray damage and scratches. I do charge for for rims restoration. It takes about 45 minutes a rim. This is a 3 step process to get the rims to the point of the ones in my video. I first have to remove the iron dust. I get some acid for this process and steel wool #0000 grade only. I use the acid with the steel wool to remove the iron dust. I then used BC-2 believe or not. It takes a little longer but is much safer than a compound. If you can remove the rim from the vehicle, you can do a better job. You can only do this with a wool pad, not a foam pad of any grade. This video demonstrate how I polish fire truck lens and lights. You can go to your local fire department and repair their fire truck lens and lights. To replace these parts of the vehicles is not cheap. To restore these parts is a much better deal for them. http://www.youtube.com/user/jeffsugg...78/ogg0R5ytrJw

    The trim on that GMC is not supposed to be shiny? Matte black rubber, not shiny rubber.

    Some of us have been pretty hard on him, sure, but I think there's a certain degree of legitimacy to the concerns being expressed too. We could (or should) have addressed those concerns in a bit "kinder" manner, though whether or not a different approach would have gotten through to him and elicited a different response I have my doubts.

    Here's the thing though, Jeff: If you weren't making those kind of comments in your videos and stooping to the extraordinarily low level you have in some of your YouTube feedback, you would not be attracting so much negative attention onto yourself.

    You keep making that claim.... where's your proof?

    The reason everyone has been treating me with so little respect is that sometimes when you see something you can't do or figure out how is being done , you deny it.
    I don't think anyone here is denying what you are doing, we're just pointing out the parts of your process that we as detailers know can either cause damage to a vehicle or simply are inaccurately explained in your videos.

    Everyone should speak to everyone else like they want to be spoken to.
    Typically speaking, do you practice what you preach in that regard? It's a two way street -- just because someone speaks to you in a way you don't want to be spoken to, doesn't mean you HAVE to respond in kind or worse. You could always choose to take the high road and let those individuals make themselves look bad, but instead you decided it would be better to sling mud, which makes YOU look bad.

    Here's a bit of information sourced from the vendor Autogeek about detailing clay. You might want to give it a look:

    Auto detailing clay, detail clay bar, clay lubricant, Pinnacle Poly Clay, Wolfgang, auto detail clay, meguiar's detailing clay, auto clay bar

    You see, the CLAY doe not scuff paint; the contaminants being pulled onto the clay bar scuff paint if the clay is not cleaned or kneaded frequently during the process.

    As you said, polishing trim is nothing new to detailing guys. I've been doing it for years, although not quite like that. But I think it's great that you're doing things other overspray companies aren't. EVERYONE always has room for improvement.

    I certainly do....It picks up contamination. In the event of stubborn contamination, it removes it layer by layer. It's not breaking down the consistency of said contamination or making it "creamy" and it's certainly not evaporating it into a liquid, what ever the hell that is supposed to mean. You have NO idea what you're talking about. You've found a few techniques that work (not safely, but they remove contamination), but you have no idea how to properly describe what you're doing. You just babble on and on about like you know what you're talking about, but you haven't the faintest clue.

Second of all, I don't make the Google Ads, "they" do. Sounds like to me a bunch of jealous young guys that don't know what they're doing or has beens that never did.
    Lets see your work on a jet black BMW 335 in the full sun. You use a rotary and a wool pad and stop there the car will be covered in buffer swirls.

    And I do have youtube videos, including one of me buffing out a black BMW under halogen lights.
