    Re: Wrapping you DA polisher cable.

    I've seen it at the end of some of the Thursday night class videos. Around the head where the backing plate is and then start coiling it around the buffer I believe is the way.

    Re: Engine bay cleaning.

    This post may be more detailed than you're after, but it goes into detail of what to cover up if you're doing an engine detail, which should give you an idea of what you should be careful around.

    Re: Ultimate Compound question

    I had the same problem with Ultimate Compound. I could actually feel the movement of the pad/polisher change when it got to the point where the little pink balls of product were forming and then it...

    Check out this post and Mike's response. It contains some details and links to a video segment on removing RIDS -- random, isolated, deeper scratches. (and btw, "RIDS" is a good word to...

    Re: A variety of products and names!

    So when you ask what "Polish" to use after the Pinnacle #2 "Fine" swirl remover, are you looking for something to "jewel" the paint (i.e. are you looking for more correction) or are you looking for...

    Re: Edging Mistake, What to do now?

    WRX, right? The paint on the handles seems really thin. Mine are worn through just from my hands so keep them waxed well. And please post pics of how your paint turns out.
  10. Re: Should my prices be comparable to a fixed location?

    I'm not a business owner, but my opinion is that if you're fully booked, you should raise your rates (you didn't say if you're as busy as you'd like). Keep raising them until you're not fully...

    Re: Grit Guard floating in bucket?

    Mine float sometimes until I tap them against the bottom of the bucket and knock the bubbles off. I doubt changing buckets will help unless you find one where you're wedging the guard against the...

    I stored this Meguiars pad improperly (it was a little damp and had some weight on one section of the pad). The next time I looked at it this section was disintegrated.
