    Car Detailing - A "How To" write up/walk through WITH PICS

    Thats awesome man. What did you end up using to clean it with? Did you apply a conditioner afterwards? Glad i was able to help...very nice job. For the M205 I used an LC orange pad. M20 Polymer Sealant is a cleaner wax and M21 Synthetic Sealant is a finishing wax (sealant). Since I just...

    Honestly i haven't used enough of them to compare, but with my experience with the actual Shop Vac brand from Lowes..its been a trooper. Used it for about 3 years now and hasn't caused a problem yet...and we dont just use it for cars all the time, but use the blower attachment often...have used...

    Ahh you saw the Challenger huh? That was a fun detail...long and hard but man it looked so sweet when we were finished. The owner loved it, said he's going to 'treat his baby' to a visit from us once a year lol. For your leather...as long as it is the coated leather and not the type of leather...

    Car Detailing - A "How To" write up/walk through WITH PICS

    Glazes are usually used on old single stage paint. Single stage paint has no clear...and glaze...basically...is just oil lol. So the glaze is great to use on single stage paint that has sort of that 'dry' or 'faded' look as it restores the oils back into the paint. THIS...

    Personally my favorite D.A is the griots. It is only about $100 or less if you find a good deal on Amazon (have to hunt for it but they have sales here n' there on them). It has very good power (more than the PCXP but about equal with Meguiars). I can't remember WHO makes Megs polisher...i know...

    After a clay you have tons of choices. If you're looking for a single step All In One (some correction, cleans the paint, polishes and leaves a wax behind) D151 is a good choice. I really like it, but after trying Meguiars D300 compound with the microfiber system they offer...the D151 has taken...

    Hey man i really appreciate the pictures...they really tell a clearer story as to the height difference compared to the others. Plus you say you can jack up the whole front and whole back at once which i find to be a very nice option...especially if i'm going to be pulling off all four tires. I...

    For a fix for a month or so use Meguiars Ultimate Protectant. For a permanant fix you'll need to dye it http://www.autogeek.net/fbk04.html Never used it myself but have heard good results and it lasts...just be careful lol

    Yup that looks like Adams Prices lol. Either kit should be good...but the only thing i'd say is I prefer 5.5" pads rather that 6.5". The reason being is that, yes the PC can handle 6.5" pads...but the power has a lot more pad to be distributed to so it can effect the cutting power. The other...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    HOW do you pull onto ramps anyway? In my mind i would think the ramp would move away from the car when you try to pull up onto it or the ramp would shoot across the garage?
