Thought it'd be nice to collect some stats on this. Here's the links Porter Cable 7428 DeWalt 849 Makita 9227

I've been reading through some old posts and found mention to this... i didn't even realize it was an issue. I've notcied that when i use the pc, if i use light pressure, the pad will spin in a circle (like a rotary would i guess) in addition to sliding around. To me this would seem more...

Well I got a nice suprise today. I dawn'd my car (first time since after it's paint job) and found about 10% is covered with buffer marks. That doesn't seem like much, but it happens to be on all the curves (like the hood to the fender). They are pretty obvious buffer marks... and since they...

Has anyone ever done this? There is a guy here in denver who is opening up a detailing store next month. From what I understand he's more on the products side than on the detailing side. A friend of mine who's part of the S2K club gave me his name. I'm going to email him and see what kind...

It's been a long long time since i've really got to spend some time with my car. School and everything just kept me so busy... but tomorrow i can spend the day detailing, guilt free. I've been wanting to write a fairly in depth article about the detailing process, focusing on how to take the...

What do you guys think? :D Actually it's my roomates. He picked it up yesterday for $200. I was going to buy it but when he saw it was a SSII he had to have it. It might not look like much but i guess it's one of the rarest options for a scout you can get. He kept saying that it...

i've been pondering this lately. Since i plan on going more professional this summer i figure i should start getting all the stuff needed to do the intererior. From what i've read through old posts here, I have some good ideas on which models to get, but i'm not sure which path i should take...

I know a lot of guys here do it on a regular basis, and are quite sucessfull, and there are some on the other end who maybe do a car or two a month for a friend. On one end you just need some products and time, the other you need the insurance, tax stuff, better equipment, forms, etc. My...

I'm not sure if this is 100% the right forum for this one, but it didn't seem to fit anywhere else. Can anyone recomend a good car cover for a LX 470 that can sit outside sometimes for weeks at a time? Something very weather resistant, that is also soft on the inside and won't scratch.

This is an often overlooked area I think. There are probably lots of people who don't know the right way to do them, yet doing them correctly can make a huge difference. So, lets get some good info on how to do them the right way. I'll start with some questions for the Pros. Do you wash...

for my show which should I do? My thoughts (based on no expierence) would be that having the hood up is more to show all the money and work you've put into it (ie mods for newer cars, or on an older car the restoration job or something). For my car that is stock down to the last detail, i'm...

This was a hot product here so i bought some. I tried it out today. My paint is brand new, with no wax or glaze or anything. I washed it with pinnacle shampoo. It had some waterspots and micro marring after the washing. It was fairly warm outside and the sun was very bright, which made me a...

My college has a big weekly celebration every year (E-days... Engineering days) and one of the clubs (SAE) hosts a car show. I think this year i'm going to enter. It's probably about the most unofficial car show i could enter, and thus a good place to start. The judging is done by the people...

The ebook says a week, is the pretty much the standard? I washed my new paint today and it was a little more sunny than i expected. Water spots are over most the car. I QDd after and it got rid of the centers of them, but left the outline. I have 3 tests this week and a huge project due...

Anyone know about this? I went to pick up a new wash mitt (so i could wash my new paint) and was dissapointed when i didn't see the viking 100% cotton mitts... then i realised they were there, just with a different packaging. I'm wondering if there was a product change with the new package...

I'm not sure if this is going on anywhere else, but here in Colorado it's happend at least a couple times in the past few weeks. In one instance it lead to the murder of a young woman. Here is a few news stories about this from the past two weeks...

I read a couple a few weeks ago, but since then haven't seen much. Has anyone else tried it? I got mine in but haven't had a chance to use it yet. I can't wait till i do though. 3M works good but is difficult to remove for me. I've been looking for a substitute for months now. The biggest...

Has anyone put anything like this togeather yet? I think it would help this part of the forum out a lot for more of the common stuff. I've had one financial disastor after the other so i'm thinking i might need to start detailing more seriously to help support my income to finish school...

I'm curious as to what the pro's thoughts are on this. I am not a pro so i can only speculate. Right now the economy is in a low point... but that doesn't mean everything is sucky. There are some businesses that proffit from a low economy. Anyone that sells inferior goods (goods that you buy...

I think this is probably the best place for this one... I have a ticket i have to go to court for on thusday, i've never done it before so i'm totally clueless as to what happens. It's not a major speeding ticket or anything, just a little 4 point one. I'm assuming you meet with someone...
