The Beast is my go to tool. Plenty of miles on mine. These are even cooler. Enjoy!

I would proceed with caution. Trying to chase perfection can cost you a paint job. I would sit with your customer and explain the dangers of chasing perfection and offer him a much improved result without sacrificing much clear coat. The only time I chase paint perfection is on repainted cars...

Honestly I wasn’t a fan of these compounds or polishes after trying these a few weeks ago. My biggest issue was also the Harder than should be removal. I was in a climate controlled work space.

Just cuz it doesn’t appeal to me makes it bad. Just a personal opinion. That company makes some quality products.

I haven’t really been happy with any tire dressing lately. The old Blackfire (prior to PBMG purchasing Blackfire was my favorite. It was a solvent based gel that lasted months. It turned tires jet black without a ghetto shine. Wipe on, wipe off 10 min later and it was perfect looking with zero...

No I have not tried that. Im not sure if that would help or hinder TBH.

Never appealed to me!

Looks great.

Get yourself a Furr-eel attachment for your vac. They work really well.

These are indeed awesome cars. True icons and anybody who is into car history will sure enjoy the reasons these cars were offered to the public. Fantastic job and write up as usual! Question for you Mike about the polishes….. when I use a compound or polish, it is a liberal amount. At 40$ for...

Congratulations Mike! Sorry thing didn’t work out at AF. Onward to bigger and better!

Since you said MP and “others” , I’ll throw my thoughts in. ANY time I messed with any of my free spinning DA machines including backing plates and or washer mods, I have noticed 2 things…….. 1 Smoothness diminished AKA vibrations increased. Maybe only very slightly but still in the wrong...

Here is a crazy way to look at at least coating removal… *An average coating is 1-2 microns thick when first applied. *A great quality 8000 grit sand paper will leave behind a 3 micron scratch(per microscopic scratch) behind on modern clear coats. ((more common is 5000 grit which will leave...

Awesome work, Mike!! Fun cars to buff out… some big flat panels, some sexy curves and no plastic!!!! I hope Speed is not discontinued in the gallon. I just finished a gallon up about a week ago. Autoality has at least one more gallon of it for sale on their page. I better jump on it…

I use only two products for interior protection. Optimum leather plus protectant and Ultima interior guard plus. Both have great protection abilities. The Optimum need more frequent applications. The Ultima is a longer term protectant with a great tactile feel!

When I need aggressive clay, I use Meguiars aggressive clay.

You will find the right customers. You nailed it in saying your customers are happy. The word of mouth will spread quick. People often say I’m very expensive but that I’m the best. It’s a reputation I hold proudly. I have fixed quite a few vehicles in my time after someone else “detailed” them...

1st I love the idea of of under promise and over deliver. But I feel there are better ways of doing it. 2nd I never clay unless at least 1 step of polishing is done. Trust me, you will get a vehicle with soft paint at one point and mar the crap out of it no matter what clay you use. 3rd Any...

Th PO85RD is 3800. I like and still use that as a super fine or Jeweling polish. I gave up on the rest of the line years ago after they constantly changed names and formulas. As soon as I would figure out a polish/compound, they would change it or rename it So many other companies that make...

Since Mike has some pull…… I’m curious as to what products you would like to see from 3D that are not available currently. I use some 3D products and find most of them to be a great value while being very effective. here is my list: -A floor mat protector for weather tech style mats...
