Prewax cleaner works. Or what I do is if it's a very small spots here and there I will hit it again with the same pad I used the product it (so it leftover product still moist in the pad) break the...
I have done many repainted panels.. one car RIGHT out of the paint booth that was black and it did not turn any of my pads any color. Unless they just used single stage paint during the repaint and...
Oh, here is my gallery btw. I only do sports/performance cars. Being a vette owner myself, I have done a TON of vettes but didn't take any pics cause they get redundant.
I tend to have trouble getting the IPA to come off completely with 1-2 wipes, so I generally spray the IPA onto a towel, wipe, then take another towel and wipe so I can get a clear look at the...
I have ran into this problem a few times with different cars and different panels. My solution has been using my 2nd step (i.e. if I used 105 I'll follow up with 205).
I have XDM .40 and have shot about 1000 thru it no problem. Very light, accurate, and easy to handle. It does not have a traditional safety though, only a double trigger and a grip safety. Just...
Beautiful Results Mike! I have done 3 black 2010 Camaros and I use that exact same combo you do, Wolfgang's TSR and Finishing Glaze. I do not have a rotary, just a Flex and a PC and to get rid of...
I had detailed this camaro back in Febuary, and recently he had a SUV back into his front bumper, so he took it to a Chevy Dealership to get it fixed. Well they fixed it.. and he told them...
Mike, I just started detailing cars recently back in Febuary, so with only 2 months of experience, I am still an amateur but I have done over 30 cars and I only do this part-time, but the most...
Maybe I am doing something wrong but I simply cannot get Liquid Souveran to come off easily. I have tried it on 5 different vehicles, 3 different methods. By hand or polisher, and from immediately...
What do you guys use for cleaning glass? I have Diamonite's Perfect Vision and it works great, but I cannot get the embedded dirt, oils, etc etched into the glass to come out.
I noticed that I never had any pictures of my personal car, only alot of pictures of customers cars haha. I detailed mine back in January, which was 4 months ago, last coat of wax applied 2 months...
It started raining on me JUST as I finished the last panel... so I quickly pulled it into the garage and wiped it down. Then it was cloudy the rest of the day so I was going to wait until it cleared...
Mike, thank you for the response you are always so helpful and I learned alot in that thread. It's funny cause I read it once before but it didn't register with me until just now LOL.
I have done a few customer cars that seem to have an area of heavy swirls, or just slashes across the entire car and sometimes I have to really just sit there and work in one small area at a time to...
As far as pads go I used orange/105, white/205, white/360 and grey with the sealant. I had to really work the 105 to get some of the deeper swirls out but it turned...
PCXP was the polisher and for the hard clear I had to use meg's 105/205. Since the Menzerna 85rd was on backorder, I had to try something else so I use Pinnacle's 360 and then topped it with...
A few of the car over the weekend. I didn't have my camera on me, only had my phone camera, with the overcast so the pictures aren't spectacular but it works. Looks muuuuch better in person, as...
