    Re: Paint Correcting Temperature

    A few Halogen lights will warm it up, just not quickly. Friction will warm things up pretty quick in terms of the polishing. A blow dryer on the panel for a few seconds beforehand will help.

    Re: What's going on in this picture?

    As stated, it has been repainted at some point. A respray is the only fix. Since it is only on the top and covered by the hood when closed I would recommend just letting it be unless it really...
  5. Re: Trim Restorer Showdown - Round 2 (Long and Pic heavy)

    All indications are that Carmor is no longer. In terms of price, $250 for 32 oz. is a great deal when you consider just one ounce of comparable products cost around $40. It's a shame they never got...

    Sealants can be used on glass without a problem but there are better options. I use Optimum Opti-Glass Clean and Protect on the windshield of most cars I detail. Super easy to use and good...

    Mytee extractor = Highly disappointed.

    I purchased a Mytee S-300 for mobile work. When it arrived the cap on the capture tank was in pieces. It was immediately replaced by the distributor. On the first use of the machine for a job, after...

    Anyone have a dead Makita 9227?

    I recently bought a Makita 9227 from another detailer via facebook to have as a second for $115 shipped. When I got it, it had a rattling noise. Opened it up to find some of the teeth from the...

    Re: Mobile customers at Golf Courses

    It is a perfect place to find new customers who likely have nicer cars and disposable income. Plus the timing couldn't be more perfect if they have a busy schedule.

    ONR & Road Salt

    With all the snow recently it is inevitable there will be many questions about whether it is safe to do a rinseless (ONR) wash when a car is covered in salt.
