Hopefully one day I'll be able to get some of the Escalades, Mercedes, BMW's, and Corvettes around but I do what I can get right now. I'm basically just starting out and doing it part time after school. '02 Chevy 2500 HD This is a company truck so all it really got was a good wash/vac/and...

I'm looking for a good wax that can be applied in the sun.

This truck belongs to a longtime friend of mine and started off as a wash and a wax but the hood really looked awful so I compounded and polished it. Some of the truck had been repainted and the truck has overspray all over it plus not to mention water spots from hell. He will probably bring...

Just another quickie. The headlights really need some work and I don't have my polishing pads yet. Before: After

I'm in college right now and I'm thinking about doing detailing on the side. Do you think it would be a good idea to take pictures of vehicles I have done and put them in a portfolio for customers to look at? I mean....anyone can wash a car but I think attention to detail is what makes a car...

Before: After: Just some random reflection pictures I took of my truck.

Ok, to start off with, I got out Wedensday and got my truck polished and pretty much got all the swirls out of the paint. Thursday, of course, it storms and I have to drive my truck 60 miles one way and leave it overnight to have a rhinolining put in it. I get up there and they had used a...

Looking for a good product that won't sling off. First of all I know not to soak the tire with it but I've used some products that end up slinging down the side of the truck. Also looking for something that will clean up my moulding and weatherstrip.

I'm using the Porter Cable 7497 and after I stop polishing it is hard to remove the polish left behind. Am I working it too long? Not long enough? I'm able to spray some quick detail on it and it comes off fine. Just wondering. Anyway, this is the first time using the new PC....definately...

Which do you guys prefer and why? DeWalt, Porter Cable, or Makita? I've got the Porter cable 7424 polisher but I would also like to have the rotary for cases where the polisher won't work.

Ok, I recently painted the truck and color sanded with 2000 grit paper. After that I moved to a 3M buffing compound with a foam pad and got all the sand scratches out. The buffing compound left behind swirls. I moved over to the 3M Perfect It III Machine Glaze with the recommended foam pad...

Looking for opinions. Is the Zaino Ultimate Protection Show Car Kit worh the money? Has anyone tried any other products that performed as well?

Recently painted the truck, within the last 2 weeks. Have it color sanded and have buffed out all the sand scratches. I moved from the buffing compound to a polish and I can't seem to get all the swirls out. I am using 3M PerfectIt III polishing compound with the foam pad that is recommended...

Just got through with the new paintjob on my chevrolet truck. I painted it black. I've started on the color sanding and buffing process and am looking for a good wax to use. I've already got the bed done. I started off with 2000 grit paper to remove orange peel, next I used 3M buffing...
