Detailed Image is marking down 3D and P&S items by approx 40% and are out of many items. Does this mean they are clearing out of those brands or the sale went better than they planned and were not adequately stocked up? I hope they are not dropping them, I ordered several items and would hate...

How do you mobile guys set up your compressor`s air dryers, air filters and oil separators? In shops you can mount them to a wall, but my air compressor will be stored in a shed every night and taken out when needed for interior details, the shed does not have electricity to run the compressor...

Anyone going to the conference this year?

For years I have been using Meguiar`s Body Solvent for removal of road tar, adhesive, and other crud that I would encounter that even APC`s and degreasers had struggled with and it would dissolve them for much easier remove. Tarminator does a pretty good job but, not quite as good as Meg`s Body...

Has anyone tried the Nano drums by 3D? Does Nano Super Soap at a 1/2 oz per 5 gallon really perform the same as Pink Soap at 1 oz per gallon? Basically ten times as concentrated? Or does Nano Super Duty at 3oz per gallon perform the same as Grand Slam at 13 oz per gallon? Curious of your...

Many rinseless washes advertise they can be used in place of QDs and Spray Waxes. Have any of you stopped buying QD and or Spray Waxes and only use detail strength Uber, ONR w/wax, IUDJ, Ultma, etc.. Or do you find dedicated QDs and Spray Waxes just do a better job.

Anyone know where I could find the 5 gal jugs Meguiars uses for their Detailers Line? I do mostly rinseless washes so 5 gallons is a good amount to carry around. What I like about those jugs is the screw cap can have a garden hose screwed into it, that makes filling them very easy. Also, with...

I have gone through several 5 gallon jugs of Super Degreaser and like the product. It is good for engines, nasty wheel wells, pads caked with wax, sealant, polish, etc., or a few ounces in the wash to get the same out of towels and it does a pretty good job. Just curious about Grand Slam...

Many years ago I bought a set of Akebono brake pads based on a recommendation on here. They were great, low dust, lasted I don`t remember how many years to be honest. As times have changed, are Akebonos a brand you all still use or has technology changed and there are better options? Also...

Which do you use? Or does it depend on each circumstance? I have been using Megs APC for quite a while. Looking at some of 3D`s products but noticed their carpet and upholstery shampoo and am considering it too.

Brake Dust in Boars Hair Brush During the winter I use a new Boars Hair Brush to wash my car with. After the brush starts showing wear, I buy a new one and the old one gets moved to wheel duty (they do a good job on wheels). I had a brain fart this week. I wasn`t paying close attention and...

I received an email about polishing a single stage paint heavily oxidized. Any difference polishing that versus clear coat paint which I have done several of? My assumption is I will need wool to cut through the oxidation and will need to clean the pad, pretty much every section.

As I use up my ONRW, I plan to buy some IUDJ. Looking at Garry`s site, he has bundled deals with the purchase of towels and my towel inventory could use some new ones as some of the older ones are showing wear. His regular mf towels are 3.99 and the waffle weaves are 9.99. If the towels are...

I found a bottle of Z AIO I forgot about. It has seperated. Just shake it up, will be fine or hopeless cause? Thanks

I am detailing a black car this week while the owner is out of town. Of course this is the hottest week of the Summer. When I tried to polish,the extremely hot surface dried the polish as soon as I spread the polish, I would basically be dry buffing if I continued. Even with the little shade...

Couldn't find anything when searching the topic. Thank you.

I have a quick and easy detail coming up.  The owner only wants (and is only willing to pay for) a one step to shine the car up and improve swirling as best as possible but swirl elimination is not expected at all.  So I was thinking of using Megs 151.  After claying it will clean, polish and...

I will be detailing a car soon and the last time I detailed this car, it required two full clay bars and way too much time.  This was a few years ago and I had never used a Decon system.  So this time around, to save time I am going to incorporate a decon job but as bad as I am assuming this car...

My 4th of July Weekend has now opened up so I am thinking about spending some time on my 2000 Eclipse. A few weeks ago a car brushed up against me and left some scuff marks I would like to touch up after my wash, body solvent and decon.  I won't have time to order touch up paint over the...

I have been doing some research on clay alternatives like the Nano Skin Mitts/Towels and most of the threads I am finds are over a year ago when these products came out.  Many people said after using these, they believe their clay bars will start collecting dust.  Just curious since a year has...
