Anyone tried this brand of cleaners? Noticed the 3in1 carpet cleaner in my Menards ad today @ $8.50/gal. Dilutes 1:32.

So I've checked out a bunch of threads on how to clean plasti-dipped rims. Have my first detail in with PD. I think I am just going to go the IronX route to clean them and use my carrand body brush with the soft flagged bristles on the outer rim. Doesn't look like the barrels are PD'd, so I...

So we all talk about letting sealant cure 24 hours before getting it wet. I'd like to do a BFWDRW before a friend picks up a vehicle today (jet black BMW...you understand). How long do you think it "really" needs to cure before a RW? I applied the WD last night between 9 and 9:45. Removed it...

Anyone have any insight to the paint hardness on this car? Paint sticker says "BMW-Schwarz 2" and code underneath that says "668/9 Schwarz"

Menards has 30 pk of general purpose MF towels for $9. The item is discontinued but some stores around here still have a few in stock. They would be good for interior, engine, jambs, etc. I'd say 200 gsm (similar to MFT 200 gsm). I bought a couple bags today (had to drive to a store 20 miles...

I am planning to coat my car in the fall, so I don't want to polish it this spring, but rather just use BFGEP and seal with BFWD and BFCS. I'll go through my typical regimen of decon, but I usually get some marring with clay on my soft black Honda paint. My question is whether GEP will...

Okay guys, so I detailed a Benz this past weekend. Over the winter I bought some crimson 4" hydrotech pads to try out with sealant. I had been using the 6.5" blue CCS pad and was very frustrated with all the product soaking in the pad making me feel like very little was getting on the paint...

I'm working on a Benz E550 with paint code 755. Because there is no "C" in front of it, I assume this is not cerami-clear paint. Have you guys found this "regular" clear to be softer than cerami-clear? There are some light swirls, probably from the dealer carwash. I'm planning to start with...

Any videos of BFCC application out there that anyone has found? I've checked Bing and YouTube...no luck yet. Any of the techs at Autopia willing to make one?

Some companies are just hilarious the way they handle customer service issues. I contacted Bissell because my Spotclean machine hose broke last year and has been surviving on duct tape (yes, it really does fix everything!). It tore because I left it out in the cold overnight then tried to pull...

Anyone suffer from this due to detailing? Weird thing is I have played tennis for over 30 years and golf for over 20 years and never had any issues. Started noticing some tweaks of pain and other time just general dull pain late last year (after my first full summer of detailing). It has...

Anyone used this combo? I want to do a rapid fire on a vehicle this weekend that has some minor scuffs. Already told the customer they won't come all the way out. Was going to do PF2500 on white pad followed by BFWD, but given the price I'm charging, rapid fire would be better option...

Just curious if it is okay to add a coat of BFMS after a wash and final wipedown with BFPS? Or should I skip the panels I want to wax and not use BFPS on them? BFWD and BFCS are my base if that makes any difference.

Todd, (or others) what is the shortest span of time I can allow before a 2nd coat of CS? I usually do 3 hours, but can that be compressed to say 2 hours?

Ugh

For those of you that have had to send in your GG polisher to Griot's for repair or replacement under warranty, just wondering how long it usually takes? I sent it in 2 Monday's ago and it got to them that Wednesday. So this Wednesday (tomorrow) will be 2 weeks. Supposed to have a detail this...

I don't see this anywhere at ACC or AG. Has it been replaced with the Paste or Snow Soap?? Edit: Nevermind, I found this: http://www.carpro.uk.com/iron-x-snow-soap-500ml/

Any used this on chrome tail pipe finishers? Just curious how it stands up to the heat. Description says it lasts 5-6 months, so maybe 2 months on tails?

Sorry to already be asking about winter waxes, everyone, but I am planning out my product orders for the next couple months and was just wondering what people thought of these two waxes and if there is any preference as a winter wax for one over the other...and why. If it is any help, the steps...

Picked this guy up today. Now I will be able to see what I'm doing in the garage. Good for use as a swirl/scratch finder too! Husky 5 ft. 2500 Lumen Multi Directional LED Work Light-3PL-TP-DF-24W at The Home Depot
