Sonax Perfect Finish and Rupes yellow pads is all you'll ever need [emoji16] This has been my all around go to for a long time now. Certainly there are a million options out there, but this one still...

Hah! I am very clean in everything I do :)

Honestly I never used used the standard backing plate. Went straight to the 5". Works great, no vibration that I have noticed, still well balanced.

Thanks :) Just did another car this weekend (Lexus ct200h F-Sport) with basically the same polish and coating. Always looks nice!

Been a while since I have posted anything here, thought I would share this recent video I put together.

This one I put together for my youtube car channel (not really aimed at detail enthusiasts),...

Wow! Hard to believe cars get out of a shop like that :(

Nice turnaround!

I like to use sheepskin wash mitts for washing painted surfaces. I use different MF or cotton mitts for wheels and other dirty places.

Use a decent waffle weave for drying the paint and get an...

Yes, a bit, and I used to do that when using M105/205. Some of the other products are just so much easier to use (longer working time, won't dry out, very easy to remove). I almost exclusively use...

I would also highly recommend this. M105 (more so M205 IME) can be a little discouraging and finicky to work with...but if that's what ya got then that's what ya got :)

Your process looks fine, but take out the "wash" after the "clay" step, not really needed. See below for more answers/suggestions:

1) People say to work in 2’x2’ sections at the max. Do smaller...

I also rent shop space from friends in the auto industry that own shops. I only do this for jobs that require indoor work (long paint corrections) or as a convenience for people that do not have a...

"Absolutely trounces". That is a pretty strong statement, can you explain? Is it more slick, less streaky, or what does it do better than ONR?

I genuinely want to know, because I've used ONR for a...

Just got done catching up, you all should have new likes!

Mine is in my sig!

Thanks! :) I have since sold that Miata ( :( ) and now have a 1994 BMW 325is autocross/track project :props:



Thanks a lot!

Yea, I don't understand that look at all, looks ridiculous to me..but to each their own.

Looking forward to the write up, I haven't worked on one of the twins yet so curious how the correction...

Thanks Tato, I've enjoyed reading some of your posts in the past as well :)







Thanks guys, and yes beastly is right, maybe an understatement :D

Just caught up on the last page myself.

Thank you :)

Indeed, they are sweet! Just starting the thing up and driving it in and out of the shop was exhilarating, sounds so good!

The M205 worked just fine for what I needed it to do, polish out the...

Finally getting around to posting this job I did a month or so ago. The car is a 2012 AMG C63 Black Series, the only one in the state of Colorado as far as the owner knows. The car was terribly dirty...

It's 303 or Hyper dressing at 4:1 for me...

Got caught up myself!

Is that a Mercedes? More :Picture: please :)

I think your 50/50 approach is a great idea, probably the next best thing to actually doing some detailing at the show.

This is what I do as well, per my accountant. I have 2 "side" businesses and both are LLC/S-corp (my detailing biz being one of them).

You don't need to register the vehicle in the business name....
