Hey Mike, thanks for the response. I know what you’re saying about the free-spinning annoyance but I’m not . I have some time behind a da doing simple body work on some flat door panels and am familiar with what your talking about. If anything I’ll just be upgrading to a 3401 sooner than I...

Alright, I’m getting closer to an actual detail attempt and I’d like some feedback. Don’t be too harsh, please. I don’t want my feeling to get hurt🙃 Products just purchased: Chinese knock-off SPTA da polisher kit. Don’t laugh too hard. I will use this to learn what I’m doing but eventually I...

Thanks, Mike. That’s kind of what I assumed. Just wanted to get an opinion from someone who knows what they’re doing.

I’ve lived in sw FL for a few love bug seasons in the past and feel I should reinforce something. No matter how many layers of protection you have, play the serial killer role and remove the bodies from your car as soon as possible. They will cause a bunch of problems if you don’t…:)

Uh oh… Many moons ago I worked at a dealership that was part of a small group owned by the same company, one of which was a Honda dealership. I was coming back from lunch and saw an S2000 abandoned on a street behind the shops that had spun around and destroyed the RR suspension. Later that...

Hello everyone, hope all is well. I’ve been vaguely interested in detailing my vehicles over the years. I’m a mechanic with over 20yrs experience but I just never got into the shiny stuff. Well, that’s changing out of necessity. We bought a travel trailer a few weeks ago and headed out to the...
