    I start at $180 for cars, unless you bring me a lux liner like a Lincoln Towncar, trucks, $280. I also through in iron decon during the process.

    Re: Question about coatings

    Waste, the reason for the second coat is to ensure even coverage. CP is one of the big companies that boosts needing multiple coats. I think this goes along with the guys who offer 30 step details,...

    Re: iBrid Owners - Questions here...

    I bought the punch, going to punch some out, however I need to figure out how to thin the pads, I think a full thickness pad would be too much.

  12. Re: Best products to detail a 2017 Charger Daytona?

    When it comes to the matte stripes, tape them off with painters tape and make sure, very, super sure not to hit them with a polisher. Once they shine, they shine forever! I coat them with IGL Kenzo...
  13. Re: Best products to detail a 2017 Charger Daytona?

    Hey man, nice ride! I had the pleasure of taking care of a new mango cat last week. I did clay it, as I clay all my details. I followed up with menz 2500 with a white hybrid pad. I coated it...

    Re: Hybrid vs. Hybrid Force Pads

    I have several, in white, orange and gray. I for the life of me cannot get the gray pads to work for me. I have used Menz 400 and 2500 with the gray pad, the pad seems to bounce around and produce...

    Re: Hot water extractor recommendations

    I have a mytee lite 2. Great tool, I really like the upholstery tool for seats, I find it does a good job at not spraying everywhere. I use only water in my unit, and pre-spray my material. I use...
  17. Re: Menzerna One-Step Polish 3IN1 how agressive is it (using on 3 year old car)

    I am not familiar with the product and can't recommend a glaze except for Megs Show car glaze. From the product description what you have should work just fine! Description does say it should be...

    Re: Meguiar's D-151, how to use? Tips & tricks?

    I love it as a one step. It works very well and you can polish until it pretty much disappears.

  20. Re: Menzerna One-Step Polish 3IN1 how agressive is it (using on 3 year old car)

    I can't imagine doing a vehicle by hand, regardless of the pad. You won't be consistent with pressure and passes. You might be better off using a filling glaze by hand and calling it a day.
  21. Re: Menzerna One-Step Polish 3IN1 how agressive is it (using on 3 year old car)

    Funny thing about the HF unit. That thing is a workhorse for as cheap as it is. I bought one while in Florida on vacation to work on my parents vehicles. I got put on the spot last time to detail a...
  22. Re: Menzerna One-Step Polish 3IN1 how agressive is it (using on 3 year old car)

    Am I reading you are doing this by hand? If you are, you will have inconsistent results at best. Oh, and your arms will fall off.
