I'd go with a new Malibu -I've had my '09 since April and absolutely love it. Good styling, very comfortable interior, smooth/quiet ride and great MPG. An absolute gem of a car IMO. The available...
Agreed. Poli-Seal for me too! My go-to for my one step details. I would use your white pad in lieu of orange -PS is a very mild abrasive AIO and the white will give you a glossier finished...
Great results man! And I definitely agree with your rotary assessment -it does make you be very aware, but the results it gives you when done right is awesome! Thanks for sharing
If you want to try 205 before re-ordering anything, you can first see if someone would be willing to throw you a sample. I've heard/seen good things about 205, but I'm a Optimum/Menz kinda guy and...
Menz can be finicky in sun/heat/humidity. I would suggest OPT or PB for sun usage, with OPT getting the nod from me due to low/no dust and longer workability. Both are better options than Menz for...
I have never, nor will I probably ever, walk away from a detail job. Reason being -pre-inspection. Before ANYTHING touches the car, I walk the vehicle with the owner and explain to him what can be...
Welcome to AG! You're right -TONS of information on these boards. I'm really close to you, so if you ever have any questions or need any pointers, feel free to contact me. I'll be glad to help you...
Just for fun I just ordered both car scents -I'm curious about both so we'll see how good they are...and I'm really skeptical about the new car scent -still haven't found one even remotely close.
Personally I use a 10 ga. contractor grade cord by Rigid. When mobile I sometimes have to span a long way, and having to worry about not only a polisher but a steamer & extractor I had to go heavy. ...
Like some others have already said -depends on the color.
Black/Red -Souveran all the way. Will definitely warm up the finish
Metallic -might I suggest SSII. Awesome 'nauba for metallics.
Can't wait to hear the reviews on the new ones, specifically the dusting part. Very good polishes, but one of the dustiest I've used. They still have their spot on my list though, because even with...
I hear what you're saying, but I still use the 2 bucket method with my boars hair as well. How does it increase your chance for marring? The dirt/contaminants do not embed into the boars hair...
I would absolutely recommend claying any new vehicle. You would be surprised the amount of junk that can get trapped on a new paint finish. Claying is pretty newby friendly IMO -just keep it well...
Just a random question for the people who have said they'd never use a brush. Why? Is there some sort of detailer phobia against using a brush that I'm not aware of? And I'm not talking about some...
For initial pad cleaning, foam pads you should be fine, but wool is another story due to the amount of loose fibers that come out initially. In this case I would recommend washing the wool by hand...
