I beg to differ. The cut you get with pro polish will be dependant on the pad you choose to use. I believe pro polish is just a cleaner but you still get cut from the pad. I thought I remember reading PP2 uses both mechanical and chemical abrasives or something. Either way, yes you can very well...

Simple question just looking for advice. When doing a multi step correction, do you compound the entire car before moving on to polish? Or do you do it a panel at a time, compound a single panel then immediately follow up with polishing, then move to the next panel, thus only going around the...

Looking for some help from those with experience here. My goal this year is to continue to operate as a mobile detailer thru the summer, but would like to get into a small garage that I can call home before winter hits again. I have started looking for information on finding a small space but am...

After a lot of thought and back and forth, I've decided to take the plunge and buy a rotary polisher. Just ordered a new makita and it'll be on its way soon! Now I've used a rotary before in my body shop classes back in college and am positive I can handle one safely. I've just never used one...

Not sure if its still a rule to state this but it cant hurt... I received this product for free as part of the "FREE 3D & HD Products to 50 people! Happy Holidays!!" promotion in exchange for my unbiased review. Now that that's out of the way, onto my test and review. Also... please forgive...

So with this merger and all, I see there is a area of the forum for 3D products now. Does that mean that ACC will be carrying them in the store soon?

Winter is upon us which means those of us in the northern states are confined to our garages. I'm closing up the mobile aspect of my detailing but still want to be able to offer interior work from my garage. But I'd like to know what others have done for heating the garage? My garage is...

After my disappointment with Gtechniq G1... I'm looking into another glass coating. What's your favorites? I'm looking for something that sheds water at lower speeds but still has really good durability. From my experience, G1 doesnt shed water at anything less than freeway speeds really. Was...

Wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I have a big bottle of carpro trix that's about 1/3 full still but it seems to have completely lost its effectiveness. When I first got it it was awesome. Color change was as expected and you could see it dissolving tar and iron like it's suppose...

So I got my bottle of cquartz UK in the mail today that I won in the giveaway and am anxious to get it on my car before winter. Having never used it before and have minimal if any experience with coatings... what are the things I should expect when applying? Directions only get you so far, so...

I meant how long should a typical 2 step take On a full size sedan. I think I just lost a potential customer (not sure I wanted the work anyway) to another detail shop in town. We called them and asked what they offer and without even seeing the car they just go straight for a wool pad on a...

Ive had 2 cars now in the past week that I had a hell of a time trying to get the tires clean. I know the one yesterday has megs endurance tire gel on it and the other I think was some black magic product. Both had similar issues with removal. I tried megs non acid wheel and tire, didn't touch...

I don't know about most of you but when someone tells me "its not that bad" before I see a car, I immediately cry BS in my head and prepare for the worst. This Jeep was no exception. It was brought to me by a friend who had just wanted the inside cleaned up but he didn't have the time for it. I...

Walking through a local store I found this stuff on the shelf. Usually I just pass on by most OTC things but I was intrigued by this one for some reason. After seeing it available on ACC I figured id give it a shot. (copied from ACC) Safe for all wheel finishes and the environment! Dissolves...

I have been putting a lot of thought on how to go about creating buzz for my new business with detailing and getting my name out there. One idea I have had is to offer "no appointment necessary" headlight restoration with a discount over my regular price. This would be for a simple 1 step job...

Im trying to put together a registry in my account and have been able to add one or two items to it, but the majority of things I click "Add to gift registry" for, don't show up on the list. An item here or there will work but ive found MANY that dont

This could be old (sorry if it is) but it came up in my recommendations on youtube tonight. Blew my mind. HOW TO WASH A CAR The fastest car wash in Malaysia at Supwave Automobile Car Care Centre - YouTube I hope he at least took it out to dinner before he ****** it

ERRRRRRRRRRRRRR Meant to title this thread as polish w/ sealant + wax Did a quick waterless wash today to get the dust off and got a coat of nattys on the whole car this time! All done outside on a sunny 75 degree day. Poorboys polish w/ selant and topped with nattys white. When I run out im...

Had a chance to get out and start working on the spring cleaning of my car. I had my 17 month old daughter outside with me so all I could really get done at the time was the hood. Also the only after picture I have as I finished the rest of the car the next day and didn't have time to snap some...
