    What rotary pads do you guys use?

    I am wondering what you use. Showroom was nice enough to give me tons of advice on picking out some pads for my rotary. I use a Meguiars red pad for compounding and a 3M waffle pad for polishing. I have three waffle pads but I end up using so much polish and I usally gunk up all three pads...

    Does anyone use Klasse All-In-One with a rotary?

    I like Klasse AIO and Meguairs Swirl Remover because they are so mild. I have used Meguiars Swirl Remover on my DeWalt rotary and even at low speeds, it can take out ALOT of swirls which is something I don't need, it's overkill. I need something more gentle on my clear coat. I'm looking for...

    How do you clean/protect YOUR rubber trim.

    I feel the two strips I have that connect my door to my window are going to make my car look ugly in the spring if I keep detailing them as I do now. I clean them when I wash my car and use Aerospace303 or the Klasse rubber treatment. They are never truly black, I think it's because I can't...

    Anyone see the commerical for "no-paint" lexan plastic from GE?

    Saw a commerical on TV last night, not even on late night. Looks like GE is really trying to push their Lexan coated plastic main stream, stating that painting panels is a thing of the past. Would we still be able to detail cars? I want to make my car shine more than the idiot who never...

    Platinum on Klasse?

    I am pretty sure I have detailed my cars clear coat to the point where All In One can fix any blemishes, if need be, I could spot polish with Meguiars Swirl Remover. I have Klasse as well as Platinum, I really like the specific qualities of both products and I am can not trade one for the...

    What to use instead of Meguiars Swirl Remover 2.0

    I use a DeWalt rotary and I am looking for a product that is as mild as Meguiars Swirl Remover 2.0. 3M SMR is good but can leave hazing which is a pain because I need to re-cover the car with All In One to get rid of it.

    Guys! I have a full pic of my car, scope it out.

    http://www.f150online.com/galleries/images/1463-2233-25898.jpg I went to a dyno meet and they snapped a shot of my car. It did sprinkle rain a little off and on all night so I think I could squeeze a few more ounces of shine out of her but it's a nice picture either way. :bounce

    My father has a 1998 Express Van, he has the alloy rims that are all one peice (the cargo van rims, not the conversion van). I am sure you people have seen them before. The only thing that comes off of the rim is the aluminum dish that hides where the rim meets the tire. Well, at the edge of...

    How do you clean your tires if you "seal" your rims?

    If you have Meg's polymer sealent, Zaino or Klasse how do you clean your tires when they are really dirty without stripping the sealent from your rims? You DO use a pretty strong cleaner right? Lukewarm water and half an ounce of Gold Class really doesnt work too well.

    My Porter Cable is making odd noises...

    Just to think it started making the noises after someone told me every 100 hours I need to do a "tune-up" on the machine. The noise happens when the machine is turned off and right before the pad/backing plate makes it's final turn, it makes a sound like there is more metal slowing down the...

    I tried two new products (and the van results)

    1.) Turtle Wax micofiber towels. Let's just say now I know what all the hype is about and I will soon be switcing from cotton to microfiber once I see more of the Turtle Wax towels around, I don't want to put up with ordering online, paying shipping and having to wait. How much do you guys pay...

    Where can I find inexpensive pads for a polisher?

    I took the plunge and just bought a dewalt polisher but the waffle pads from one store (Goodpseed motoring) are something like 20 - 30 bucks a peice! Where can I get these pads a little cheaper. Showroom - The reason why I went there is because AutoInt doesn't have pictures and I...

    Want to buy bulk and save money?

    Well I do too, and since I will be detailing for money I thought I would make a list of a few places on the internet that sell specific products we need and break down the price to each ounce. When I am done making the list I will post is here for everyone. I am sure some of you people who...
