When I watch videos like this, I figure I probably am. ‪Paint Overspray Removal International Services " ranked # 1 industrial paint specialist"‬‏ - YouTube There are reasons I never let another human touch my vehicles. I don't care if you own a shop and have white coveralls, it doesn't...

I know the reason that CG's gallons aren't full is for UPS and other shipping companies, but I wish they could be a little more accurate with just how much theyre going to leave out. I received some CWG and Grime reaper this morning, neither is full, but there must be 20 washes worth missing...

What are the best products and techniques to use to clean interior carpets and fabric seats, without the use of an extractor?

This is an image I threw together for my website, I though it would be good to put it on the forum as well for reference purposes. Just demos my two basic packages, single pass with orange pad and D151, or a full correction with M105, D151, and #21 Sealer. Full pic here...

I had a Dewalt years ago, but it went 'missing' at one point. After 6 months with a 7424XP, I went ahead and ordered a Makita 9227 from Autogeek. It arrived today. I threw on an orange pad and some D151 and gave it a whirl on the hood of my car. Wokring at 1500RPM this thing is WHISPER quiet...

It took a lot of determination, self discipline, and wiping residue off of weather seals, but when my new Makita 9227 arrived today, I opened the box, and knew immediately that I'd finally hit the big time.

So I've been professionally detailing part time for awhile now, and have the process and techniques down. I have lots of product, 3 polishers, lots of pads, mf's, lights, and everything else I'll ever need. The results have been good, lots of happy customers. I average about 8 hours for an...

"Use the least aggressive products you can, and build up to harsher products if necessary." This is the detailers mantra, but I still don't buy it. Last night, I finally got around to showing my dad a thing or two about paint correction. I gave him one of my old sorta-worn yellow LC pads, and...

I just threw a few old dirty pads in with my dirty microfibers and wax applicators in the washing machine. Set it to the gentle 'knits & delicates' setting, and they came out great! No damage to the velcro or anything. Does anyone else do this at all?

Should I use a gel coat sealant after compounding and polishing a boat, or will Megs #21 be ok?

Just placed my fourth order within the last seven days. Customer called in with a badly oxidized boat. I had a dewalt rotary a few years ago, but it was taken/stolen in my year or so of not-detailing. I use a pneumatic rotary a tonne on aircraft at work, and decided a boat in need of repair was...

For most of my higher end paint correction packages I will start with M105, follow with a finishing polish, and finish with a pure sealant LSP. Most people would of course recommend using 205 after 105, why break up the twins right? Let me digress a little: I use D151 for my cheaper...

I've seen this video a couple times on Youtube, it never ceases to make me shake my head. The though was there, but the execution was a little... well... lacking. YouTube - How to remove clearcoat paint scratches from your car Remember guys, once you see the colour coming through, you...

I apply my paint sealants with a soft foam LC pad on my PCXP, as I'm sure a lot of people do. I follow it up by a microfiber wipe off and buff. Does anyone use a fresh jeweling pad to remove sealant haze and buff to a shine? Or would it just get gummed up and send dust everywhere?

I do some occasional maintenance for friends and family between my other jobs. I typically talk them in to a $30 real quick wash/polish/wax/tires dressed on top of it. Obviously Im going to use an AIO, Im not just going to throw money away. The last couple times I've been using Poorboy's Pro...
