    tag team?

    Anyone here tag-team a car? I mean, you and a co worker or friend detail one car at the same time? I'm trying to get my wife involved with me and she is hardly a car or a cleaning person.

    hard/soft paint?

    Is there a list or can we start one of cars which have hard/soft clearcoat? Also, what does that mean for us when we're polishing? I would assume harder paint is more difficult to correct?

    custom shirts?

    I was looking at cafepress.com and they are charging a LOT for custom, one-off printed logo shirts. I'd just like to get a hoodie and some polos with the ts|s logo on them, but don't want to spend $40 for each one!!! Anyone have a suggestion?

    what to do here?

    So i removed the vinyl stripes from my S10 and noticed that the clearcoat is kinda "stepped" i guess when they put them on at the factory it was still wet or something b/c as I was removing the vinyl, i noticed the clearcoat was over top of it in a few areas and kinda "snapped off" So what...

    B L A C K bmw 330i

    Forgot to take before shots, but the car was in decent shape: had the typical swirls etc that improper washing creates. The lady who owned it actually takes a lot of pride in its cleanliness! However it had some strange waterspots on the hood that she could never get out, even with clay. I...

    Iridescent spots?

    Sorry for the cell phone pic, it's all I could muster up. So this lady has a 2006 black BMW. She's upset about these tiny iridescent spots that won't come out.

    Lake County Smart pads & Flex?

    I bought a slew of Lake County smart pads and while I was using the orange medium cutting pad with some Adams Haze n Swirl remover, i notice it made a LOT of cast off. Like a bunch of little pellets flying in all directions. Is this the nature of the chemical? or the way the pad breaks it...

    steamer/brush thingy....

    So a few weeks ago, I saw a thread and can't find it. The detailer had to use some sort of steamer with a triangular shaped brusch attached to it to remove what looked like years and years of smoke/tar color from the tan leather of an SUV or something. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
