    Tornador Velocity?

    This looks pretty darn cool. I am late to the party and wondered how this thing works in practice. The demo looks impressive. There are a lot of bits in the line so it’s a little confusing also. School me.

    How much product to use

    It has been a while since I really did any correction but I made an attempt yesterday. I am a poser for sure. I clearly used too much meguires 105 on my harbor freight DA withe HF orange pad. I was getting some gumming and dusting. What is a proper amount to use and can I typically use one...

    This is for motorcycles and From what I hear that means soft paint. I plan on using Menzura PowerFinish PO203 and wondered if the cyan, tangerine and red Griots pads will suffice? Thanks!

    Motorcycle detailing -fast?

    I run a motorcycle shop and want to get our used bikes looking the way I would expect as a potential customer. I read the $100 solutions thread and see that the HF unit may be a good choice. I am unsure of the backing plate and pad size. I am thinking I may need 4"-5" or so to get around...

    Motorcycle detailing start up questions

    I am thinking about starting a small scale business. This would be fun "side" work. I need to know what is the minimum I would need for insurance etc to make it safe for all? I would do the work out of my garage so that is a concern for liability etc. Any input is appreciated.

    Opti Coat 2.0

    Worth the hassle/risk? I have thought strongly about it but I am a bit worried about difficulty of application and result. I am not super super picky but I just worry it will come out poor with my certifiable hack skill level. Any thoughts?

    4hp Honda Pressure washer at Costco

    Has anyone tried one of these? This is for personal car use. I mostly ONR but I do like to PW when the going gets dirty, wheel wells etc. It seems pretty small but likely better bet than the cheapo electric units. This one is $299.00 and that I can do. Thanks, Stephen

    New candy white GTI-Boring

    I have not had a white car in 20 years. :bored: I gave it some new car love as it had been a bit long in the tooth on the lot (it was a great deal - hence the white). The paint was not too bad off. I did not feel the need to clay it but it was a bit soiled. I took a look at my shelf and...

    Is it okay to ask a detailer to use your wax!

    I just do not have time to work on my wife's car. I worked on mine this year and have it looking nice (to me) but I don't have enough time to do the same to my hers. I am going to take it to a detailer next week but I really would like to ask him to use Collinite. If I supply it would that...
