  1. Re: The Next REVOLUTION: The BigFoot Nano w/ iBrid Technology

    Out of curiosity would a 1 inch pad in rotary mode burn paint faster or slower than say a flex with a 5 inch? I'm assuming it would take longer due to the rotational speed at the outer edge of a...
  2. Re: Your reason for being pro or anti fillers...discuss

    Personally I have never had a filler work. Every time I have used something with fillers it looked the same to me after. Maybe I am using them wrong?

    Re: How about this job for 300$

    I took a class at Meguiars on using a rotary. Even my first time I didn't butcher the panel like that.

    I was curious what he asked them for. I found on his review of them he said he told them "I...

    He doesn't want to deal with them. I told him to send the photos and see if he can get something back. He just said he wants to put it behind him. Total 750$ detail.

    He called us wanted the 2 step process which would have been 550$ but when we did the test spot with the HD Speed he liked the results so we charged him 350$ and he gave us $450. He would have paid...

    How about this job for 300$

    Client took his Infiniti to the corner car wash/"detailer" and from what I am guessing he asked them to make it look like a Zebra. He picked it up and they had it in the shade so he didn't notice...

    Wish I had it Saturday. We did our Black Ferrari 458. So many curves I was scared to death.
  11. Re: The Next REVOLUTION: The BigFoot Nano w/ iBrid Technology

    I believe that will be the price for the kit. My local detail supply shop said 399-599. I can't imagine the tool alone would be over $399 though. Either way, I see it as having a lot of uses so it...

    Re: (Another) Question About Water Spots

    We have found that XMT AIO works well on many spots. I haven't had much luck with any of the sprays designed for it. XMT 360, Rupes 21 and the yellow pad. The only way I have seen to prevent them is...

    I agree. We actually just did a 52 Chevy Sunday. Was painted about 6 months ago and this was the first wax. It had those little rust particles everywhere. We tried every clay we had (about 5...

    Re: Junk On Pads

    Just to throw out another possibility, the black can be from the rubber moldings. I know if I even hit the sunroof rubber moldings for a second with the pad, it turns black.

    We have sort of a brush addiction. We have had up to 15 different brushes in our wheel bucket. I am just not sure the names of them. We have since narrowed it down. We did try the Speed Masters and...

    Yea mine hasn't broken down yet. 70k miles in 3 years.

    As far as detailing. I got white so I really don't see the swirls but I usually use XMT 360 and the Rupes 21 with their Yellow pad. I don't...
