Currently SSR2 -> AIO -> WG -> WG -> ? WG or Paste Glaz Help me make up my mind... I'm just looking for the best look.

Thanks to a sale at Fleet Farm (a midwestern chain) on clear plastic storage containers. :) I ended up buying: 1 - 48qt box ($8.00) 1 - 18qt box ($4.30) 6 - 15qt boxes ($2.00 each) 6 - 6qt boxes ($0.88 each) So I was able to take my supplies from this... To this... :)...

SSR2 is very easy to use, and of course it's great that it works so well in the sun. I used it on speed 6 with a green Propel pad. There were very few swirls in my car, so the purpose of using it was mostly to remove old products from the finish. AIO as always is a pleasure to use. Easy on...

How many other Autopians are out there in Packerland? I'm in Manitowoc.

In the past, I had always left my tire gel applicator upside down (with the foam side touching the table surface) so that the side with the product wouldn't get it all over the table. Well I found myself using more product because all the gel migrated to the bottom of the applicator thanks to...

I decided to use my old bottle of Gold Class on my mom's Concorde today. I can't believe how far I've come with products, in terms of ease of use. I used to use Gold Class every month about 1.5yrs ago. It felt like I was spreading Elmer's glue around. What a PITA! And to think I used to...

I use them to keep the noise level down when the straps vibrate at higher speeds, and they also protect my paint from being slapped continously by the nylon straps. I also use them to wipe the dirty water and/or weeds and mud off of the kayak before it goes back on the car (different ones of...

I washed my car yesterday, and took a long look at it. "It needs to be detailed again" I thought to myself. "The whole deal, with clay and everything!" Here it was, begging for the whole process... So I did: Wash with NXT Mothers Clay (NXT soap and distilled water for lube) GEPC by...

Here's today's detail... There were terrible swirls in the paint from the automatic car wash, but the owner told me not to bother with the swirls. I was glad to hear that, since I didn't have my rotary yet. Now I DO have it, but I don't have any practice with it yet. Wash Clay AIO UPP...

I got an email tonight requesting a quote on a 1988 Buick LeSabre (grey). I've seen the car before, and it's dull, but not too bad. The car is owned by my friend's parents, so I quoted $60 for the exterior (wash/clay/SSR2.5/AIO/UPP). I'm guessing that it would be clearcoated...does anyone know...

Is this a safe polish to use on the Corvette wheels? They are OEM as far as I know. My neighbor owns the car, and the wheels are very dull. I told him that I would help him clean it up in the springtime. Well spring is here! It's near 50*F now, and supposed to be in the mid-50s tomorrow. So my...

I was just thinking..."should I be worried about polishing a customer's paint with the rotary and removing too much (or all) of the clearcoat?" But then I came up with this question: If there is orange peel left, there must be plenty of clear left right? And you would always be polishing the...

I placed my order for the $25 Chicago rotary at http://www.harborfreight.com yesterday. I'm wondering...to all you guys that use a rotary for polishing, do you still use the PC much or is it sitting on the back of the shelf now? I'd guess you still use the PC for very light swirls or maybe LSPs?

I just tried SSR2.5 with an orange Propel pad on the trunk of my mom's '95 Concorde. The swirls didn't look that bad, but I guess they're much worse than I thought. With 2 passes on speed 5, they are still quite noticeable. My dad informed me that he remembers me or my brother dragging a box...

A friend of mine got in an accident a while back with his blue 91 Escort. Since it was totalled, we ripped the front grille piece off so he could keep that. I saw it sitting on his desk a few days ago, so I insisted that I bring it home to test out some new products. It had some pretty bad...

1. How do you find shade when you detail cars at someone else's place? Do you only use sun-friendly products like PB's? 2. How do they find out about you? Word-of-mouth? Phone book ad? Business cards? I'm sure I can think of more just give me a while. BTW I'm seriously considering...

As many of you know, I'm looking into getting a 99/00 Mazda Protege ES. I can't decide which color I should get, so throw your own two cents in to help me would you? BTW there is a minor difference between the front end of the 99/00 and the 01+ Proteges. The black ones are 01+, while the rest...
