Ive watched and read all of what mike p has posted, but was wondering if anyone has come across an online guide to using a rotary?

Just fold and wipe. Just keep a good layer on the lens and dont wipe for too long. It doesnt have much working time before you start to get smearing. If you mess up, just wipe it down and do it again.

lol, i know. I did it really fast, cause it was only to prevent the mineral spirits and coating from leaking over. :D

Used this method today and was pretty happy with the results.

The wife's car was showing some oxidation and was getting a bit a sort of frosted look.

I used:

Milwaukee Tight Angle Drill with...

It has a quick connector. HD sells an adapter kit for those with an electric pressure washer.

For car detailing size and power aren't too much of an issue. There are some things to take into consideration

gas/electric - its personal preference at this level
motor type - induction if...

I know of the daytona type wheel cleaners, but am really looking to get a hair brush that will let me do wet wheels and the engine bay.

Anyone have any suggestions or alternatives?

I'm a microfiber wash mitt fan - just my preference. Lambswool feels funny to me. heh

I see that many people use dawn to do a complete strip. I understand that it comes with it's cautions around rubber/seals, but is there anything else that is recommended?

I would really stick to an AIO for a white car. White paint is usually very hard and wont be able to benefit from a crazy multi step process as dark colors would. White just wont pop as much for the...

Speed Shine works great as a lube. It's my favorite QD too.

I was using a black friday special before I upgraded to my 6.5 hp ridgid. It's definitely worth the time youll save.

that's some beautiful work. What steamer do you use?

You did a great job :D

I would consider griots a higher end wash because its very slippery and easy on the paint. It's a good wash, but i think if youre going to be buying in bulk other brands may have better performance/...

quality. some store brands are good, they just may have extra additives that can make scratching your paint much easier.

It's pretty much a different target market. I think most consumers expect a...

I would definitely 2nd this., especially if you go electric.

If you go gas, make sure it has a kohler engine. Some of the higher end husky branded ones at HD are pretty good.

Thats a very nice setup to start out with. I think that the biggest learning curve is going to be finding what suits you best with the #105.

I'm getting ready to retro fit my garage for my new hobby and am looking for some ideas. I saw posts about detailing collections but nothing about the workspace. If you guys have any ideas, tips or...

Go with the CCS foam pad kit and also look into megs MF system as a good alternative :D

nice work. dont forget those before and after pics :D

I think i may have to just get the flex, then pick up a cheap headlight restore kit to hold me over.....

Do you think the flex is that much faster than a GG 6". I know it performs marginally better and is good quality, but what im really trying to do is cut down my detailing time and increase my drive...

I've got some serious water spots stuck to my windows and was wondering if anyone has used a product like this before?

I just picked up an older BMW that has cosmetic issues on the interior.

The dash is plastic with an anodized aluminum brushed trim. For something like this, should i clean everything out with a...

I have had some experience with various systems. There is no one fits all approach here. My Ridgid full sized eat dry and wet stuff up like a beast. I also have the bissell pro heat that does wonders...
