Re: The detailing advice thread
Well to put things into perspective, using a foam cannon like this http://www.crazydetailer.co.za/index.ph ... ts_id=1129 I get roughly 3 to 4 applications per 1l bottle, which I assume yours is?
What pressure washer are you connecting it to?
Have you fiddled with the adjustment nozzle to change the amount of product it sucks up out the bottle?
What snow foam are you using?

Re: The detailing advice thread
I had one of those karcher jobbies.
Bought the foam cannon lawrence mentioned above.
There is no comparison.
The karcher one is only like 200 bucks cheaper lately and IMHO the difference is worth it.

You could always coat the seats with our ceramic pro textile product? Have not use the scotch guard product personally but our product is able to withstand a minimum of 50 washes.Rsi huntered wrote:Hi Guys,

Re: The detailing advice thread
Aaaaand done.
41 pages of very good advice. Some things I might need to buy in near future is some AF dressle, AF spitz and Cyclo APC. Seems like everyone has generally had great views on them.
One thing im still determined to do is find a LSP or wax that does not attract dust. I notice when applying 845 a few weeks ago it got very static while buffing off. And with the winds we have here, my car is brown by the 3rd day after i washed. It bugs me , but im to hella scared to wipe it off , for fear of installing swirls

Vish. Last time we chatted he indicated he does have some Spritz left though.
Also, I am finding the Carchem APC to be better than the Cyclo stuff.
As for dust attraction, this article may help provide some insight.

Hi Guys,
have not tried it but this is from another forum and posted by NEMO maybe he can give a full review from his side as he must of used the product :

All waxes will attract dust..Even the high end waxes. Its the trade of for having that warm glow .
If you looking for a repellent,, use a sealant as opposed to a wax. A good sealant will also last much much longer than a wax.
Also there are new products available... where you dont even need to rub or touch the car to protect it.... just spray and rinse,, car is sealed.
this is enough for one hit... : http://carpro-sa.co.za/index.php/produc ... kes-250ml/

Re: The detailing advice thread
Didn't know Makita had a DA? Don't you mean Rotary?
And also using a compound on every car, isn't it maybe a bit harsh?
Would love to see that car done with a rotary parked out in the sun from far.. Any holograms left from the rotary?

Re: The detailing advice thread
Nice work Kiran, nice and shiny...
From the sun pics you can tell there is a bit of haze left behind. This indicates that the compound you used might have been too harsh for the paint hardness, you'd probably need another pass with a fine compound.
But I'm sure it looks muuuch better than before, keep at it!

You can actually correct and refine properly with a rotary, but it takes much more work and skill than a DA.amstel18 wrote:Didn't know Makita had a DA? Don't you mean Rotary?

Loads of guys overseas would correct with a rotary and refine with a DA, saves time on really hard paint.

Re: The detailing advice thread
Makita makes a free float dual action/forced rotation DA, theres a knob that you turn to select which mode you require. As for rotaries, they can finish down lsp ready with a jeweled look if you are skilled with one. I have finished black Range Rovers with the softest paint imaginable with a rotary with no holograms in sight under sunlight. A skilled or pro detailer can wield both a DA and rotary without a fuss.

Re: The detailing advice thread
Now for my Question
On a DA machine OR any other machies....Flex....Rupees.....etc
What should be the resting time/periods in-between a detail so that your machine last longer that you over loading it on every detail....
Eg. Use for 1 hour continuous give your machine a break for 5mins.....
Use to 2 Hours continuous, give your machine a break for Xxxxxx Mins
thanks.

Re: The detailing advice thread
Your body will tire out and need rest long before the machines do. All my Flex machines have a temperature cut out in the event you push too hard and they heat up, the Rupes on the otherhand never heat up no matter what. My Shield never took breaks on over 60 full paint corrections it was used on so yeah doubt you can get a polisher to wear out before you do.
