Hi Greg
Can I use Chemical Guys Citrus Wash as a regular car shampoo without it removing wax and sealant? If yes, how much do I need to dilute it.
Thanks.

Flex vs. Porter Cable
Hello Greg!
First of all, DI is my go to place for not only my supplies but for all of the fantastic info and training your website provides. Thanks!
I just placed an order with you to upgrade from the PC to the Flex DA polisher. One thing that I have noticed in some of the videos I have watched is that the operators tend to move a little faster with the Flex, compared to the super slow movements of the PC. I was wondering if that is something that I will need to do with the Flex? Or should I continue with the similar slow movement I am used to with my PC.
Thanks for your input and I am looking forward to trying out my new Flex!!

Thank you for the kind words and I'm thrilled to hear you've found so much good info and supplies on our site. I also got your e-mail but I'm going to share the answer I provided via e-mail here as well in case anyone else is interested. I think the answer depends on your preference but the Flex does have more OPMs and torque so you are able to work the polish in a bit faster if needed but it's not a must. I would suggest trying different speeds to see what works best for you. I'm confident you'll find a pace that makes sense for you very quickly. If you have any other questions please let me know!

Hi George,
The package of goodies from your site finally arrived and can't wait to get started on detailing my newly purchased G37.
In the meantime, my wife's silver Honda Pilot has quite a few scratches on the driver side door that I would like to remove if not minimize and would like to know what steps and products you would recommend to fix this.

Unfortunately George left the company at the end of 2010, but I (Greg) would be happy to help you out. I'm glad to hear the order arrived and you are ready to start using the products. For the scratches I would start off with the polishes and see how much they can help. In general polishes will not remove scratches but it can help reduce their appearance. I would recommend the Meguiar's Ultra Finishing Polish M205 and Meguiar's Ultra-Cut Compound M105 combo. If that doesn't work try a light wet sanding with 2000 - 1000 grit sand paper and follow up with the M105 and M205 again. It should make that area look significantly better if not fully fix it assuming the scratches are light.

Greg, just purchased a few products from you guys including meguires 105 and 205. I have an 08 silver g37 coupe and want to do a full detail on it. It has very light imperfections and I'm wondering if meguires 105 is overkill since its hard to see scratches even with proper lighting. Also, can you explain what I should be looking for when the polish "breaks down"? Thanks!

Hi, Was wondering if you can help me out on what products I will need to get the job done. This is going to be my first time working with a buffer. I have a buffer but not that many pads or cleaning products. My car has paint specs on it from neighbors painting their house. Was just wondering what all I would need to clean, polish and wax the car. Not alot of money to spend but nothing to expensive will do. Planning to gather all the products from you guys. Thanks in advance Kevin
