Mike, a coworker was behind a car that hit a white chalk like substance in the road & created a huge dust cloud. He said he had to stop because he couldn't see. Turns out, the white stuff was...
Stunning work as usual, Mike. I hope you have the time, & take it, to school all the car owners on proper washing techniques. I cringe to think these cars all go back home to the same dish soap & old...
I have always had good luck removing water spots with a clay bar. Remember, when you lay pad to paint, you are removing layers. Always use the least aggressive method & build up if necessary. Good...
I applied Perl full strength to my truck tires a month ago. I wanted to go the 3 month advertised time, but the wheels are getting quite dirty, so a wash is going to happen. After a month, the tires...
In the effort to get my TA's completely dialed in, I have been using the long neck with 1" yellow pads & Keramik on the tail lights to eliminate swirls. As an alternative, I tried a blue 1" pad with...

Hate to say it, but you did something wrong if 0000 steel wool scratched the glass. I have used that stuff extensively & never left a mark. It WILL scratch paint, but not glass. You can also buy a...
I am going to detail my truck when I get home from work tonight. Half of the hood, windshield & cab top will be clayed with Pinnacle & the other half will be clayed with Optimum, paying close...
If it performs like the Optimum, which I fully expect it to, I'll be in good shape. 2 cases of Pinnacle are sitting on a supply shelf. I will buy a case of Optimum along with a fine grade speedy prep...
While I haven't done a side by side yet, I have used the Optimum on the windshield of my truck. I have taken the windshield wipers off & am happy to report that the Optimum performed flawlessly. I...
The last sentence was in reference to my 3401 having to finish a hood that the rookie failed to finish. Once I finished the hood, I held the 3401 with the still 'dirty' pad attached over the XFE &...
