Mixed emotions.... I tried it one a black grease spot and it took 90% of it out (my fathers floor mats) and the carpet wasn't wet but I want to try it on my entire floor mat from my Camaro, they are old and ugly looking. It is a small, short, slim machine. Doesn't make much noise, it's very...

I used to use these tiny pads: http://www.properautocare.com/porcabac.html My order was messed up and in the end I got these pads: http://www.properautocare.com/adfoampadfor.html Off the bat I noticed the Advanced pads are larger (duh), it allows me to detail more of an area in a...

I was using the DeWalt and I noticed that if you mist the panel with water before you apply the polish to the pad it makes things alot easier (keeps the pad from gunking up and keeps the rotary from "jumping") and keeps the paint alot cooler. The handle on the side of the DeWalt is useless, I...

I haven't take Jngerbrdman's advice to purchase the 4 Star product and I didn't have a spray bottle for the Meguiars rubber/vinyl protectant so I tried Plexus. Worked nice, not great but decent.

I took the day off on Friday to detail, looks like it will be almost 60 but cloudly, I want to get rid of all my swirls but I can't unless I can see them. What type of lamp do I need to see the swirls without sun? I am trying to find a model at Sears.com but I can't find anything. I don't...

Clay Lube® (49-Body Shine®) I think the stuff is great, smells nice and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Who else uses this stuff on their car even when not claying. Only if they sold it in larger bottles (they have the little 12 oz bottle).

Just wondering if there would be a problem with bonding, I like the durability of Klasse and the fact that it deepen's the red but Plaitnum shines a little bit more.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2313964296&category=20611#BID1 50.00 and free shipping. I hope it can handle the minor jobs I have, 90% of the cars I get have nice interiors already, it's just the darn mats that are wicked dirty. I'll just tell the customer there is...

I don't care how long the shine last's, I will be detailing every weekend, I may miss one weekend here and there but I'm always doing something to the car so I don't need the product to last that long. Could I mix any of these products that compliment each other? Meguiars Glaze Plaitnum...

Do any of you guys use a Cyclo polisher? Seems like it is a Porter Cable on steroids. If it's alot better than my Porter Cable random orbital I want to purchase one.

How much more effective is the Cyclo polisher? Would I be happy with the performance difference if I sold my Porter Cable setup to buy a Cyclo? There is a huge gap in performance between the Porter Cable random orbital and my DeWalt. I am looking for a safe yet effective machine so my...

Showroom told me once in a private message but I guess it got erased because of a time limit. It was great info. I was wondering what speed you run your rotary's at for polishing and compounding.

http://easylink.playstream.com/allstreampluss/PaintFinish.wvx 3M recommends using medium pressure when you are removing swirls marks on your first pass to cut into them, not skim over them. After your first past with the pad half way depressed onto the cars surface you can skim over the car...

Whenever I use my DeWalt I get splatter everywhere. I have only been detailing my fathers car and my car so I don't mind but if a customer is watching me and see's splatter flying everywhere he is going to think I'm boot leg. I try to spread the product with the pad (waffle pad and Meguiars...

What would you guys use if you ran out of 3M SMR? I have Meguiars Swirl Remover 2.0, Klasse All In One, Plaitnum paint cleaner and a compund so I don't need anything stronger or weaker than 3M SMR, I just need another product with the same or better results. What is as strong as 3M SMR yet...

2.18 for each and it's made by 3M, they seem to make a nice product. http://www21.3m.com/dr/v2/ec_MAIN.Entry10?xid=28181&SP=10023&PN=1&V1=504530&DSP=&CUR=840&PGRP=0&CACHE_ID=0 I'm in the market for three 3M waffle pads for the DWalt, three Meguiars red polishing pads for the DeWalt, a pad...

We used a one megapixel unit in work, it's awesome, pictures are amazing but I know I am going to want more (not 5 megapixel's but more than 1). Should I go with 2 or 3 (3 seems to be VERY VERY, as good as regular film) and what brand should I buy? I'm not looking for all the toys to go with...

All I can find is these small 9.00 bottles. I want to buy the big jug.

Some guy is selling his Zanio setup: ZFX, Z2,Z5, Car wash, Gloss enhancer and the Glass cleaner Guessing 80% of each product is left, how much should I pay?

When I purchased my car there were a ton of little pits in my headlights. I am looking to make my headlights new without spending 499.60!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: I don't like the way they look when my car is freshly detailed, they really stand out. Can I sand my headlights with a very light sand...
