Corvette had deep water spots and swirled out all over the car. Two step correction. This was my first two step correction and my first time using rotary on a car.
Thanks to Mikes class, I came home confident to use a rotary and get this car back respectable, but definitely still nervous.

Bought some quick connects and had storage hook bracket, I decided to make a foam cannon holder.
I didn’t want to pay $30 for one, so came up with this. Maybe this will help someone that wants to make their own.
So this will be my first two step correction. Paint is swirled out and deep water spots. After doing some test spot, it seems this paint is hard.
Purple foamed wool, flex Supa beast, speed 6, light pressure, slow to med arm speed, ACA 510, 7 section passes, removed most swirls and most water...
I have a 32’ class RV that a family friend wants me to clean so they can sell. The gel-coat is really chalky and explained there is no way to fix that without sanding and compounding and polishing. Since they are trying to sell, they just want wash and waxed to look the best it possible can.

Would 3D LVP cleaner be safe to use or 3D citrus APC?

What light is best on white paint for ceramic coating? When I get a chance I’m going to ceramic coat a buddy of mine white truck.
I’ve only ceramic coated one vehicle, so it will be good practice for me to start offering to customers. Thx

I’m in the market to try a new tire shine.
What’s your guys favorite tire shine? I’ve been using optimum tire, don’t really have anything bad to say about.
Just want to try something new.
These are the wheels on my dads boat I will be detailing this weekend/next week.
Can the rust be removed?
What’s the process of shining these back up?
These will be a good set for me to practice, I have never polished any wheels.

I just detailed a 2021 Dodge Durango. It has the impossible carpet. For those of you who don’t know, I just detail on side and have not been doing it very long.

Hello everyone, I detailed a Honda CRV yesterday. After my test spot, I used flex Supa beast and rupes yellow pad with 3D speed. Topped with Bead it up.
I was able to remove 75 to 85 percent of the swirls. What would you consider the hardness of this paint?
I detail on side and still fairly...
