I'll be bringing some of my tools, equipment, etc... Let me know if you want to meet up with me. I'll let you know when I'll be down there, probably near the 20th. I'm going to SF/San Jose this weekend as well, but I don't want to drive any farther down this time as I'll be busy with...

I'll be traveling to the Bay Area from Portland OR for a few clients, and I'd like to meet with somebody and purchase some ONR. I could have it overnighted, but I'd rather pick it up when I arrive there. Who is willing to sell me some ONR? If not, where can I purchase it, because it's...

Whether it be black or otherwise, EG: E30 3er with John Deere Blitz Black Honda-Tech.com: Paint and Body: Professional Satin black paint jobs - pic & info request I'm curious to hear any experiences from users who have worked on cars with flat or satin black paint jobs, either with just...

For the past few years I have been going about my business with nothing but the sound of the rotary and various other tools to connect the boredom. What types of audio devices do you guys bring with you, as a mobile detailer? I own an Archos 605, and connect it to any device at the client's...

Looking to replace my current lubricant. While OTC is convenient, some contain silicone. I'm curious as to your preference.

Bought myself some '06060 3m perfect it 3000 Extra Cut RC', '05990 IH Glaze', and am trying to find some local '06068 Perfect It 3000 Ultrafina SE' Anyways, I was curious if any of you were familiar with the aggressiveness comparison between my all-so-familiar Menerna compounds and these 3m...

Curious if many others experience this often on black BMW trim, most notably the smooth, yet matte black on the E36 through E38 body styles. Curious if WD40 would work on the trim, as I'm not about to use a solvent on this fragile trim... I have found that this tirm is by far the easiest...

I've been messing with some glycerin/water and mineral oil mixtures, just playing around with something to prime Menzerna with if it acts up. Considering these are the main carriers for their polishes, I was curious about your thoughts, and if anybody had any specific knowledge regarding it's...

I'm curious if there was a way, DIY or commercial, to round off the edges of the 6.5" LC CCS pads. It would create a shape similar to the Edge or Meguairs pads. Let me know.

Benz Rider. Need I say more? No wonder he says dealerships don't screw up paint, he worked at one for "years" supposedly. :nuts: You'll love my reply though... :P Is 040 Black for 2008 Clearcoated or Single stage paint? - Page 2 - Benzworld.org - Mercedes Benz Discussion Forum

Yes this is out of the blue, but I figured I would bring it up. I was working on my car today, ( http://www.autopia.org/forum/machine-polishing/106680-rotary-me-2.html#post1120550 ) ...and I couldn't help but think about how weird it is that the cord sticks to my arm when I polish. I...

YouTube - Learning to polish2 :brit You silly UKers. "Pffdffth all over the bonnet" lol Just watch, he angles the pad to, IMO a dangerous angle - and it dusts like crazy - I think some of that is the pad destroying itself because of the angle he's put it at.

Well, I found where to buy it. If you have a QFC anywhere near you, they carry it. I found it on the dawn website, typed in my zip code and selected what product - it showed right up. Regardless, I tested it on two identically thrashed wash mitts. I used them both to clean the underbelly...

Curiousity hit me after reading this thread here... http://www.autopia.org/forum/machine-polishing/95727-question-pc-users-switched-rotary.html What size and type of pads do you prefer for your rotary for various tasks? Also, I realize many of you use wool more extensively than myself...

6-1/2 inch, CCS Technology Pads for use on conventional and scratch-resistant clear coats. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I could see this being okay for LSP application on the softer pads, but wouldn't this hinder the performance of the orange foam with that soft blue layer behind it? I...

Speaking of paint thickness gauges, what is your preferred model, and where can one purchase them?

You've all experienced it, aged cars with that mildew in the space under the trim pieces where your machines cannot reach with your abrasives. It also typically appears between and inside the letters of vehicle badging. Recently I ran into a Saab that had this problem quite severely. While most...

Since I will be making my large, $500+ order in the next week or so, I'd like to check with you guys about current coupon codes. Are there any coupon codes active at the moment, or must I wait a month or so until the next e-mail bulletin is sent out? Let me know if possible, Again, thank you...

Well, the aftermath of detailing an aircraft is that everything I bought specifically for the job has now been covered in petroleum. I would like to save at least the buckets, so I was curious what all of you use to remove the petroleum from your tools, and hopefully clean mitts as well. I have...
