Yes and no. They say the first year is the hardest and for me it proved very difficult. I have since resorted to doing this on a personal level and still stand by CarPro products as the best I have...

Nicely done! White can sometimes be tough to show the improvement but your wizardry shines through!

Just wanted to jump in, again, and share my little runts.
Red one is Buster, a min-pin and the black/white one is Bobo, a chihuahua/pug mix.
Buster is 2, Bobo is 17.

Now thats the type of advice that a detailer needs! A million thanks Merlin, it would appear I got some money to spend and the answers to your questions are below:

I have tried Meguiars cutting...

Sure Merlin, answers are below:

Started with a Torq10fx like most with Hexlogic pads, V compounds, and other CG products. I then escalated to Lake Country microfiber cutting and finishing pads,...

Thanks Merlin. I am always open to new ideas and input from others. The Ultima and Chemical Guys products do have a bit of excess shine to them so I will try the products you listed. As far as...

Customer wanted a clean, shine and protect package and I was happy to oblige! Started off with RESET soap to clean off any previous wax from the dealer. While it only has 200 miles on it, the water...

Welcome to the forum! Would love to see this new vette of yours, they are beautiful cars! I have known some individuals to do 3 coats of CQ and not have issues. Do you get 3x the protection? No. ...

Hex Logic is Chemical Guys, or so I thought, and on hard paint you will have a tough time with Essence. Especially GM and their diamond hard paints. I would do as Guz said and do a test spot. But...

Thanks Merlin, hoping I can get my mom's explorer to this level. Its seen a car wash every week since new, about 10 years worth.

Right now, dont do anything. I suggest getting a Honda panel with similar orange peel from a junkyard and getting a paint depth gauge meter. See where your at, try your hand at sanding to remove...

Just got my bottle yesterday and while my Kia needs a thorough polishing before the CQUK, I also look forward to seeing how the ECH2O performs. With all this rain going on in VA and that hurricane...

Hey there @Buffalobob920 and @chadg, I just got here last week myself and am loving the wealth of knowledge and good folks I have chatted with. Best part of this forum? We get to talk CarPro stuff...

Hey @dman68, I am not getting the amount of customers I would like but I also have a plan. I am mobile working out of my trunk but am looking to buy either a house or a shop next year. Having a...

My two guys out in the yard, enjoying the fresh air.

In the pics above, the paint has ClearCut with an orange foam pad, which left some marring. The paint is pretty soft on a Kia. So I went to Fixer with a white pad and was able to jewel it out to...

Only been in the game about a year and use my own car as a test mule but absolutely love CarPro and in the process of switching my go to product line over to them! While I may still use some...

Happy Thursday to CP members, detailers, paint correction specialists, restoration experts, fans and just general folk. I am Mike, reside in Northern VA, and have been detailing since last year. ...
