    Re: Prepping a brand new car for the winter.

    There is nothing different about doing a brand new car than a used car. My used car has less swirls than some brand new ones, so the number of swirls doesn't necessarily relate to age. Just use...

    Re: Swirl Finder

    Re: SEMA 2016 - My experience as a detailer

    I tell people that the best part about SEMA is that it is like being at a Star Trek convention and nobody laughs at your Spock ears. :) I can talk about car wax with people who don't think spending...

    Re: Blackfire Black Ice wax on dark blue?

    Holy cow, you guys were right. This stuff is amazing!!! The truck wasn't as dark blue as I thought, but I decided to go for it anyway. I did just a spot down the middle of one of the doors about 8...

    Re: Ultimate compound/polish vs color x

    Honestly, I've never used the Ultimate Polish. I have used several bottles of the Ultimate Compound though. That stuff has been awesome for me. I've done a lot of cars with the compound and...

    Re: Blackfire Black Ice wax on dark blue?

    I will absolutely take pictures. Too bad I'm doing this truck after work, so it may be dark, but I have no doubt he'll send me some the next day in the sun. I'm really looking forward to seeing...

    Blackfire Black Ice wax on dark blue?

    I've got a dark blue Tacoma to polish tomorrow and I want to put something spectacular on it. This guy's dad has a warehouse full of Ferraris and classics that I want to get into and the best way is...
  13. Re: SEMA Show 2016 - Win With Yancy Contest + Bonus Contest for those who attend SEMA

    I was only off by about 4450 miles. ;) I think you stopped counting on Thursday or something. :) All I know is that I averaged 10,000 steps each day and that was just between the hotel and the...
  14. Re: Autogeek Ferrari paint correction at SEMA 2016

    I didn't actually see much rotary damage. It looked like they had washed it with the scratcher end of the kitchen sponge and dried it with a sandy beach towel. The car literally changed colors...
  15. Re: Autogeek Ferrari paint correction at SEMA 2016

    Part of it was just a really bad repaint, but really REALLY bad washing process didn't help much either. It was really fun to use a variety of tools and products. That paint felt products from...

    Re: Well, I did it.

    Coatings seem like great ideas, but I am at an absolute loss how I would sell one to a customer. I'm not doing this full time, like a lot of you, so I don't get quite as many chances to sell it. ...
  17. Autogeek Ferrari paint correction at SEMA 2016

    I'll tell you something... This car caused anxiety for just about everybody working in the Autogeek booth this year. It looked good from a far, but far from good. We were so fortunate to have this...
  18. Re: SEMA Show 2016 - Official Picture/Coverage Thread

    My guess remains the same. I know how much walking you do. ;)

    Re: carbon fiber vinyl wrap interior trim

    Air bubbles can be sorted with a pin and heat gun. If they aren't going away on their own then it is because they are too large and there is too much air. A lot of vinyl these days have what they...
