I recently did a Porche Boxter, probably around an 01 model but I didn't ask. I polished it with DACP and a PC with Polishing Pad and to my surprise the pad started turning red(the color of the Car). To me this means that it's a single stage paint but I was very surprised because I would have...

I recently got this product based on the thread most underrated product in your arsenal. I got it from walmart for about $6 for a gallon, it's in a big purple container in the automotive section. I have a used 94 Mazda 626 that was abused by it's previous owners so the carpets were very...

We have a small part of our roof that is made out of copper but it's really oxidized and is very dull but I'm sure that if it was polished then it would be bright. Has anyone done this and if so can you paint over it to keep it from getting dull again? I was thinking about using some DACP...

And what is actually happening when wax streaks? It looks like the wax is going on in different thickness's, or rather coming off in different thickness's. I have a black mazda with single stage paint and I tend to get streaking on it reguardless of what wax I use, #26, S100, Gold Class. I...

I'm interested in learning how to do PDR, windshield repair and paint chip repair. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start? Thanks.

This is a repost of something I put in the detailing section but I think it may be better suited to this category. I've seen some posts on here about people using AIO or VM to get out swirl marks and things like that because of it's cleaning ability. Does anyone use these as their main polish...

Do any of you mobile detailers have a good solution for detailing in the winter or rain? Best thing I can think of is to just detail in people's garages. Second best thing I can think of is to get a pretty large canopy with sides on it and detail with that. Problem is I think it would...

I've been using APC+ on wheels and I like it, it's not as good as A2Z but it's cheap. I'm wondering if it's safe on all wheels though. Does anyone use it regularly on wheels? Thanks.

I would like to enter a car into a concours as a form of advertising for my new business and I'm thinking about getting PS because on here it seems to be the best but at $60 for an 8oz jar is it really worth it? Could I get the same results for one day with a $15 bottle of #81 hand polish...

I would like to go to local offices and do some advertising but I'm not quite sure what the best way to do this would be. My first idea was to put flyers on their cars but a lot of people might not like this. Is there usually a person or company that runs the offices that would be good to talk...

I would really like to find some active advertising ideas vs. the passive ideas I'm using now. Right now I've been putting flyers on people's mailbox's and we've had pretty good results but the % of people that respond is very low <.5% so far. When we actually go to do a detail several...

Anyone going to be there? I was thinking about entering an A4 but would like some tips. The car has never been detailed before and it's 3 years old so I have a bit of work before the event on July 17th.

I get a lot of white flecks on the bumper and hood which are rock chips that get filled in with wax. The wax really makes them stand out compared to not having the car waxed at all. Is there anything that I could do to prep the chips or something that I could use to easily fill them in to fix...

I'm trying to remove the oxidation from this 85 RX-7 and it's going ok, taking quite a while. Here are the pics below. http://filebox.vt.edu/j/joburnet/car/DSCN4882.JPG http://filebox.vt.edu/j/joburnet/car/DSCN4883.JPG So far I've used megs CPC to remove the oxidation and then #26...

I am looking for a polish that I can use with a rotory after I use Megs #84 - Compound Power Cleaner and before I use the #26 Wax, therefore I would like it to have lots of fillers to help take care of anything that the #84 did not. Most people on here tend to like things without fillers so...

Here are some pics of my first detailing job. Washed, clayed, DACP, Gold Class Wax. The wax streaked a little so I'll give it another shot in a little while. I was going to use swirl free polish but didn't see a point. The paint still has a lot of scratches but I don't think there is...

My gf was in a small accident and hit the tire of another car and the rubber rubbed off onto her bumper. What could be used to get this off? Thanks.

What is the process that most Pro car detailers use? I've called some local places and it seems that most of them just wash and wax the car and one place actually does a polish and wax. I understand because going over a car four times can take too long and you can only charge so much for a...

I have a small car dealership in roanoke va and I need to buy fairly large quantities of cleaning supplies but I am not sure where or what to get. The best I have found so far is to buy from www.kleen-ritecorp.com my list of what I am planning to buy is here: Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner...
