We can help you with the paint chips. The easiest way is to get the factory touchup paint from the dealership and then use the Langka Paint Chip Repair Kit. It eliminates the paint blob and provides an easy solution to repair the chip marks until you do have it professionally painted.

It sounds like the paint need to be machine polished to bring back the color. When you look at the sun's reflection in the paint, do you see any spiderweb marks, swirls or holograms?

What do you recommend product wise for someone wanting to start a small detailing business?
Hey I'm a dealer and I want to know what process you would recommend for me to do a quick detail for my cars. I go through a good amount of cars and don't really have the time/want to spend the money to go through all the steps of a full blown detail. Do you have any suggestions for a ''half-assed'' detail with the best results?
We put together Pro Detailer Start-Up Kits to make it easy to start a detailing business.
A lot of dealers use one step products that clean the paint and leave shine and protection behind, all in one step. This doesn't take the place of claying but would save you from doing separate polishing and waxing steps.
I would suggest the following steps so the paint will be smooth, clean,and protected.
1. Wash & Dry
2. Detailing clay & lube
3. One step polish/wax with an orbital
Some excellent choices for a one step product would be:
Pinnacle XMT 360
Optimum Poli Seal

How u doin. My question is how to safely remove gum from my mats which happen to be beige. I tried to pull it off but it's started to stick in, Only the top part of the gum pulled away from the rest of it.
We have a great product that helps you remove gum from carpet.

what do you recommend for an aggressive clay for removing rustoleum overspray from an unwaxed car?
I wash my car every week, sometimes twice a week using 2 buckets, one with soapy water, and another with clean water. I was thinking instead of purchasing a flow-through car wash brush. I see you don't sell them on your website, not that I could find at least, so I was wondering what your opinion is on using one of these?
Actually our Montana Boars Hair Brushes that are threaded for an extension handle have a hole all the way through that will accommodate a flow through handle as well.
The reason we do not offer the longer, flow through handles is they are not practical for shipping.

I recently purchased a 95 M3 in red. The paint has lots of swirls but no deep scratches. I have never used a rotary unit and would prefer to use hand products, preferably a kit vs. individual pieces. I want to start with a good clay, but I'm not sure where to go beyond that. Basically, I'm looking for some beginner products to get my swirls cured. Thanks.
http://www.autogeek.net/xmt-speed-clay-bar.html Is a nice size bar, which I cut into a few smaller ones. That way it will last longer, and if you were to drop it. http://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-detail-clay.html This pack comes with 3 -50gram bars, http://www.autogeek.net/ultra-fine-poly-clay.html The poly clay is one of the softest clays I have used.
Most of the time you will need a machine to reduce or remove the swirls in your finish. http://www.autogeek.net/dual-action-polishers.html
Hope this helps
So after about two months of my baby sitting with no tranny shes almost done but anyways. My question is what polish and sealent should i use on it? i prefer to get it at pepboys or advanced auto or some auto place for the fact i can get it whenever and not have to wait on shipping also i can compare prices since moneys ight after buying the tranny swap. So what is your opinion
I already plan on washing it, clay bar, wash again to remove access clay from clay bar. i also was going to use some turtle wax polishing compound. Can you suggest some polish and sealent thats OTC? Or if TW compound is a bad idea?
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 is my sealant of choice. Take a look at this video to see the products in action:

My car is a black 95 325. I usually keep it very clean and waxed. I've got a problem that happens more than I want. Last weekend I had it spotlessly clean, then drove it 50 miles and went to work. When I came out it was dusty so I got my microfiber cloth out and went over it. Then I put it in the sun and it looked like crap. Swirl marks all over it. I put some spray detail on it and it didn't help. I had this same problem on my old 911. Question; is it the dirty micro fiber cloth I use, how ofter should you wash them? Or is is the kind of spray I use. If you rub your fingers on the sides, you can see the swirl tracks, like it's greasy or something. Thanks for any help.
