    Detailers turned PPF Installers

    It appears to me car detailing is losing its luster. I notice more and more detailers leaving this trade and moving towards ppf instalation only. A group that I belong to on fakebook I often read where it`s recommended to apply ppf over swirled paint. I know the money is 100x better but I wonder...

    I had a dream...

    I had a dream last night about a car that I recently coated. In my dream it was raining (raining in real life to). To my horror the rain water was laying flat on the paint. I couldn`t believe what I was seeing. I remember looking around for my customer. When I didn`t see them anywhere in sight I...

    🙈🙉🙊 Stagefright 🙈🙉🙊

    I`ve been at this for a long time. Lots of things have changed but one thing that hasn`t is the anxiety that goes into each detail before I get started. It`s like every day is my first day. I question if I`m even capable of doing some of the jobs that I take on, but yet, continually there I am...

    Gallon Jugs

    Anyone figured out how to cut these open without chopping a finger off (or contaminating the contents)? Dang 1/8 of a gallon of product is always stuck to the sides. Whoever came up with the idea of using such a heavy plastic is a genius and has got to be secretly laughing.

    RUPES Repair

    Anyone ever had their machine serviced by RUPES? If so did you need a receipt/proof of purchase?? I don`t think I ever got a receipt. If I did who knows where it is now. They also seem to have a lot of stipulations for repairs. Thanks!

    Backing Plate Repair

    My RUPES polishers eat backing plates. I`m sure that I`m not alone here with this problem. Was wondering if anyone has found a adhesive that can be used to repair. Ive searched all of YouTube and found nothing which I find odd considering all the other garbage there concerning this trade...

    How can there be this many people online and only a dozen contribute? Is this fake news or terrible odds??

    "Permanent" Coatings

    I was always very skeptical of this Permanent claim. Now that Coatings have been out for a decade (or more) I notice the word Permanent has been replaced with Ceramic. I can`t help but wonder if the name change is due to the fact that time has caught up with these companies and their false...

    G9 Cord Question

    The detachable cord at first glance was really appealing to me. I figured this would help make it easier to store. However, after polishing a car and having it vibrate loose 25 times I`m wishing that I had my old unit back. Is there a secret to making this cord stay in place??
