I have no clue what the correct term for this is, but I could've sworn I saw something about it on the forums... The backing plate gets pretty hot most of the time when using the PC, and I was wondering if anyone had any information as far as some extension adapter is concerned... something 1-2"...

I detailed this car for a member here... he'll chime in with some comments and a few whole car shots within a few days, since there was no good light when I was done... The owner first contacted me after a shop, which he'll hopefully warn others about, charged him $200 and he wasn't happy with...

I have a couple regulars who come to me twice a year... the "problem" now is that I charged them very little a while back when I first started out detailing and now that my prices have increased, and are still fair compared to others, I don't know what to do with those older clients... I have...

Does anyone know where I can get the old 6.5" pads (not CCS) that CMA used to sell... they were curved so the center was a little thinner than the outside... CMA had them on closeout about a month ago and now I don't see them on there.. only the bigger pads... Help, thanks

Today I received my PC (G-100) from autodetailingsolutions.com I assumed since Meguiar's sells 6.5" pads, that the counterweight would be for these, but the CW says use only 5" pads... also, on the side of the polisher, on the warning label, the 7424 says "6" HD variable speed" while the 7335...

Well I was bored today so I decided to go out and test 10 of my waxes/sealants on my mom's 05 Toyota Corolla. (I actually used 10 waxes/sealants but for some weird reason the before/after shots of Poorboy's EXP didn't come out clear at all... hence the 9 in thread title) The car has never...

I'll make this very short... tomorrow and Friday I will be detailing my friend's sister's car to get it nice and shiny for her wedding on Saturday. I recently sold my random orbital, but now I need one because my friend wants to help me out to hurry up the process. If you're 15-20 mins from...

Let me start off by saying that I had no clue where to post this, so if someone has a suggestion for a better forum section, please post it and a mod can move it. Now... I've been thinking a lot about this lately, and thought it might be helpful if it was posted on here... I haven't seen a...

Does/did anyone else here experience Optimum polishes/compounds "clogging" up the pads? I've used mostly Meguiar's polishes, Menzerna FPII and OPT OHC, OC, OP... and it seems like everytime I'm done and soak my pads to clean them, the Optimum stuff stays in the pads (mostly OP) and is very...
