ssfast Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Dose any one know the best place to take my truck for a detail in the Calgary,AB area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Too bad you're not in north texas. I could make it look better than new! Good detailers are hard to find. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Please if you do take it in somewhere, make sure they do the proper steps. Running it thru a touch free wash will not cut it. I have seen alot of people get there vehicle back looking worse than before it was dropped it along with a 3 to $400 price tag. I detail but your a little far. lol Edited September 1, 2013 by Blown 346 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssfast Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I really would like to do it my self and I have done it before but I almost need some one to teach me. I am really picky! I don't wanna drop it off an let some one else touch it or get screwed over like BLOWN said but it she needs a bit of love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballincustoms Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Yeah same way here, asking my bro if the paint shop at his dealership can do it I am really picky too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Its pretty easy honestly, just very time consuming. The key is to use good quality products. I love my porter cable, it does wonders. There are tons of videos on youtube to show how to detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissfans03ss Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Watch "junkman 200" or any of the "Adams polishes videos they are very helpful. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssfast Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Yeah I really liked the Adams videos and they have good products I guess I better save up and buy a detail kit from them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Meguires has just as good product as well. Everyone wants to talk the products up. They basically all do the same. I use Meguires and get the same result as my buddy with his expensive Adams stuff. Just remember everything is a opinion, try a few things out yourself and see what you like best. dont just buy it cause of the price tag and what the marketing says.

tburkdoll Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 adams is great but also am a fan of the meguirers pro line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I do want to clarify before I sound like im bashing products. Adams,Meguires etc all do great things and are great products that work. You have to find out what product works best for the paint correction that you are trying to correct and the result afterward. Different brands all work differently with the type of pads you use and the style of polisher used. Believe it or not, Turtle wax also has a nice compound that works nicely. I used to hate that stuff. There is a market for everyone with every product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I mostly use mequiars professional line, but as for sealants and wax, I tend to use a bit higher end like menzerna or wolfgang. Some compounds work well on cars and some work well on others. I've buffed and polished many cars and the first thing I do is find the correct machine, pad and product combination. It can be overwhelming at firat, but just takes time to build knowledge and confidence. I have done plenty of $200k plus cars, and I can assure I am still sometimes a bit nervous when begining.

Blick05SS Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Yea it all depends on the finish and paint and all that good stuff. Just depends on how far you want to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
