Guys, I'm playing with the idea of a e-commerce detailing website. However the prices - as always - are pretty high in Hungary, I'm thinking of hosting/registering it overseas. Any ideas or recommendations? What are the typical, representative prices for such a site? (forum, store, infos...

Just got an email from Finish Kare that their forum is up now. 'Thought I share...

I definitely want to try the Extreme Cut! I tried to order a bottle from TOL (with 100 pcs. of plastic razor blades), but they don't sell 'n ship outside of North America... Do you know a vendor who carries HT and has PRBs as well? BTW, what is the difference between Extreme Cut and...

As I was QDing yesterday's quickie detail (wash, FK 185, FX-100, 425), I heard a loud knock. Ahem, a beetle fell on the hood. No prob, it flew away. Then a second knock; even louder than the first. The same beetle hit the hood again, but this time it was K.O.'d. I realized that it was a...

Anyone, who has experience with them; what is the practical difference between the two versions? Thanks!

I’d like to prove with this little observation that the AS claims of FK are true and the product(s) are working as they should – and not how they ought to; based on some members’ imaginations/opinions/beliefs/perceptions. So, attention non-believers: I don’t wanna confuse you with...

Yesterday I tried the FK polishes for the first time. In the end, I am very satisfied with the results, but this was my steepest learning curve... 17 is a beige creamy liquid, a ’micro polishing compound’ which is supposed to be gentle but effective and able to remove 1000-1200...

No matter how hard I tried, the orange pad didn't cut it!!! I am kinda dissatisfied! :D Happy April's Fools Day! :getdown :o :spot :chuckle: :nana: :buffing:

In mid-December my father removed the snow from my car with a stiff broom. It left ugly and quite deep scratches on the trunklid (new Spring Project). We washed our cars together with a pal, who is a body shop guy and has quite good skills (as I thought) with the rotary. He said that he'll...

Thanks to the joint efforts of Forrest (Mothers), Geoff Tolsdorf and Darline Johnson (Schroeder & Tremayne) I got a nice box yesterday: All towels are a 70:30; all made in Korea – except for the foam core WW, which is made in Korea, but ’further processed in...

As a few of you may know, I helped Carlack to develop their new website. Two or three days before Christmas the mailman brought a fairly big, and surprisingly heavy package. Carlack tapes all over it... :woohoo: It was the personal gift from Mr. Reckling, the owner of Carlack. CL68...

Process: 1.) rub like mad. 2.) polish like mad all by hand... ...phew...

I just saw a Swizöl (aka Swissol) detail clinic on a German TV. The rep invited the guests in a luxury hotel. Lecture in a conference hall, practice in the garage. There were about 10 cars; mainly Mercs. Two exceptions were a Maybach and a Fiat. First, they started to wash the chosen...

Holds up very well indeed. The process: Riwax White Polishing paste, PC @ 6 1Z Pasta Intensive, PC @ 6 1Z High Gloss Polish, PC @ 6 On the hood FK #303 ×2, PC @ 5 Horizontals: FK #2180, PC @ 4, topped with Pink Wax by hand ×2 Left side: NXT Paste ×2 by hand, two panels topped with...

Yesterday I discussed a few things with a pad rep. When I told him that my cutting pad began to show wear, he asked me if I cut my pads. He said that using the rotary and a blade, just cut the worn layer off. Spin it slowly and hold the knife or blade against the material. If both the...

I love sheeting water because it dries so much quicker and spot free. Beads staying on the surface for HOURS, while the sheeting (even pooling) surfaces already forgot the whole rain. Oh, and we have dirty rain... So, which products have the best water-sheeting properties in your experience?

Just fill 18 of 20 correctly, and you already are a qualified technician!!! http://www.simonizusa.com/Sys5CertTestPrint.asp?TestMID=1 :scared: :soscared: :eek: :shocked :nervous2: :grinno: :chuckle:

I just made a quick comparison of all of my LSPs. I applied 1Z Glanz/Sprüh wax, Sonax Xtreme1 Carnauba liquid/paste, the three Victoria waxes and TWPUG half panel-by half panel to the left side of my car. Prep was the same, 1Z Pasta Intensiv & High Gloss Polish. Applications: I applied...

With its recent reformulation, Car-Lack has improved its popular all-in-one cleaner & sealant. I was able to get a sample thanks to the kind help of Ms. Birgitta Isele. The sample is fairly large, contains about 100 ml product. It is a light, tannish-white fluid, with a not too pleasant...
