Hi guy's, I have a member from the 370.com site looking for a detailer in Atlanta to prep and apply Opti-coat to his 370z. He has a fair amount of clear bra on the vehicle. I had a look in the "find a detailer" section but would like to have someone who is comfortable with the opti-coat...

Hi guy's, I wanted to share with you a few pics of my new car. I will post better photos when I take some. I have had it for about a month now. It replaced my 03 black VW Jetta GLI. All I can say is wow, this car is awesome. 332 hp, aluminum hood, doors and hatch, carbon fiber composite...

Well I pulled the trigger on a new Nissan 370Z in Carbon silver, Platinum Graphite in the US, Charcoal interior with the new 7 speed auto with down shift rev matching. It's time for the 03 VW Jetta GLI to find a new home. It's been on order for a month now, as they are hard to come by. I'll...

This is an 05 Viper with moderate swirls and almost no rids. Total time for exterior is about 10 hours. This was the first time using M105, WOW. This is one incredible compound. Cuts really quick and finishes like a polish. With the PFW it finished almost LSP ready, just a little hologaming...

Looking for a vender who sell "Lack Country 6" variable contact concave pads". I normally buy them from Carcaresmart.com but they have been out of stock for quite a while :think:. I did a Google search with no luck. Hope someone here can help.

I've just put 3 coats of Opti-seal on my Jetta, which looks fantastic by the way, and I'm going to see if it will protect against the fine marring I get during washing. My 2003 VW Jetta GLI has very very soft black paint which mars with every wash. And before you ask, yes I two bucket wash...

05 Maxima with it's fair share of swirls. The process after a dawn wash & claying was OHC with an LC yellow cutting pad via rotary. 900 rpms up to 1800 working till polish starts to clear then back down to 900. I find this leaves a better finish after compounding. Hood and trunk were...

Here are a few after shots. This car had the usual swirling and dull over all look. Used my new paint gage and only removed about 3 microns over all. Wash Clay Rotary with LC 6" white pad & OP twice @ 1700rpm sealed with OCW dress all rubber Poli seal rims by hand...

I remember seeing one on here a while ago, but can not find it now. Can anyone help? I finally have my paint thickness gauge:) .

Tried an Orange pad with poli seal today on a white truck, sorry no pics. This truck had some road contamination that looked like tiny rust marks so I thought I would try some Poli seal. I first used a white LC pad with the rotary but that combo would not remove all of it, so I used an orange...

I need help creating a link from an ebay add. I have no idea how to do this. I want to post a link to a paint thickness gauge thats on ebay.

I'm thinking it might be a good investement to get a paint thickness gauge. Does anyone know where I can find one in Canada, or a good deal on one from the US? I tried on Ebay but didn't find much.

What do you regularly use to polish paint with, a PC, Cyclo or Rotary polisher? I'm curious if this has changed over the years that I've belonged to Autopia.
