The jist of it is that my work schedule changed a while ago and now I have to work on Saturdays a lot.... 6 days a week in many cases. I just dont have the time to detail like I used to and when I do have time off I need to spend it in other ways.. rest, family, or on my car. It really sucks...

I just had a customer here to detail their black Crossfire SRT6.... I started with M83 and orange Edge pad then moved to M80 and green Edge pad, all this with a rotary going 1300-1400rpm with the orange/M83 then 1000rpm green/M80. After running over the whole car with M80 I pulled it into the...

I would like to know your opinion on the flat LCs vs CCS LCs. The batch of CCS pads I first bought were through Proper Auto Care... the ones with the blue foam behind the pad supposibly to help "stabilize" the pad on edges/slopes. :rolleyes: IMO their system is a joke and is a way to sell...

Hey guys.... Just need to sell off a few things.. After using my #16 (my first tin) and realizing how long a tin is going to last I realized that there is no need for me to have 4 tins of this stuff. So for now Im selling one. I may sell more later. The #21 is brand new. I already...

Hey guys.. its been a while since Ive posted. Started a new job and barely have time to detail anymore. :aww: I did get an inquiry today though... a 5th wheel travel trailer. Ive always wanted to detail one but never had any interest. So my question is.. do I price it out per foot...

Finally had some time to do this.. took me a few days as I did it after work during the week. The car got the full treatment. -ONR -Clay with Pinnacle Ultra Poly and Megs QD -Yellow pad with #85 via rotary -Orange pad with #83 via rotary -Black pad with 50/50 106FF and CG Creme Glaze via...

This car is owned by a good friend of mine, he lives down the street from me. The paint is semi-new so I didnt do a full blown buff on it, I told him I wasnt comfortable using a pad with abrasive polish on semi-fresh paint. So this one is a wash/wax exterior only... before summer we're...

.... and I think I found a winner! Ive been doing a full blown detail on my SS little by little for the last couple days. For some reason Ive been having a real hard time finishing the paint... I knew F-body paint (Camaros) had pretty hard paint but this was rediculous! I started with a...

As it says.. I have a couple rock chips I would like to fill/fix. Ive seen a couple repair kits online.. AG has one but Im unsure of the quality. Anyone have any experience with these things? Let me know.... Thanks! :2thumbs:

So a local Wally World is discontinuing this TW platinum tire shine... for $3 a can. Regular price is a absolutely REDICULOUS $6.15 per can!!!! They previously had it reduced at $6 a can... with about 12 cans on the shelf. :har: Yeah I thought it was funny too. They recently reduced the...

Not that Im giving up detailing.. HECK NO! :lol Ive found something else.. and its possible ALL thanks to detailing. My detailing side work has abled me to afford another passion of mine, watches. Ive always been into watches.. but never got really into it because I simply couldnt afford...

**SOLD** Ive decided to make a post for my items FS w/o the PC since it looks like the Lowes clearance sales are hindering my chances of selling my PC. This is a combo deal only... for all the items listed below. First $70 gets all of it shipped with a FREE BRAND NEW Edge 2000 adapter...

SOLD! Well.. now that I used a rotary I have made some changes and no longer need these things. I have 2 PCs, so Im selling one of them. PC7424... honestly I used this only once for about 10 minutes. I thought my other PC was overheating due to malfunction so I used this to see if it...

I know there are polishes that can be used in the sun... but recently Ive ran into a few details where a garage or shade wasnt available. I basically had to apply in the sun, but its been cold here so it worked out ok... surfaces werent hot. Talk to me.. I need to add a sun friendly LSP to...

Some of you may remember my first thread on this Lifted Black F250. The owner called me up last week and asked if I could do a followup after visiting the sand dunes... of course I scheduled. After I finished his truck he sent me to his GFs house to do her Camry... and Explorer. Since this...

My wife and I decided to get out of town for the holiday...my inlaws own a new log cabin up in the Sierras here in CA. Heres a few pics I snapped while I was there. My daughter, right before our 5 mile hike in the snow. Stream near our starting point. Look out point on the way...

What exactly do you mean? Inspired by Challengings post on "panels". When I used the PC a pass meant going over the whole car ONCE. Ive noticed that some people when using the rotary a pass may mean, within a 3x3 section, once over a particular area as wide as the pad or it may mean the...

Sooo.. Im really diggin' the CG stuff and Im gearing up to do a full re-do on my Camaro. My Camaro was the first car I used a machine on and honestly I have honed my skills 10 fold since then, now its time to make the SS look stunning. :bigups Im going to use CG products for most of the...

So Im doing a friend a favor by letting him stay at my house for a few weeks until he can find a place to rent/buy. I have a 3 car garage and he has a nice supercharged good looking Camaro like mine, so I gave him the middle spot in the garage. Well.. he flew out to AZ last thursday to visit...
