    DLux Tips

    When I used DLUX on textured trim, I try to apply and walk away. Otherwise I'm left with tons of lint from the large suede. Anyone else have this problem?

    Anyone else get desensitized?

    I don't do this for money, but I can agree with you on the desensitization. I tried to correct a newer Camry that was trashed (imo new Toyota paint quality is junk) that I wanted to get to 90% and I maybe got 75-80. The owner was ecstatic but all I see are imperfections. I say: if your customers...

    Improper methods on Ferraris, Porsches, etc.

    I guess I meant to say I've shown him my work, and he was never really interested in it. But...I have not brought up that the detailing of the cars is not on par with how they get treated mechanically-I.e get shipped to different states to get worked on depending on who the best reputation has...

    Improper methods on Ferraris, Porsches, etc.

    Hey everyone, I'm wondering how to talk to my boss about how we wash/maintain some very expensive cars. Back story: when I was in college I started working at a very wealthy man's property...5 years later I'm still taking classes before PA school and working at the property. He has anything...

    Help a Female Newbie - Interior Care Products

    Interior selection looks solid, as for exterior- +1 on dlux, and I would also recommend tuf shine tire coat. I believe turtle wax makes a tire coating similar to tuf shine that many recommend. If you're going for ease of maintenance, imo coatings are the way to go. But everyone prefers something...

    Is perfection impossible?

    Called autogeek today and they are graciously sending me a bottle of the new reload! So looks like no rain until Tuesday, if the reload comes in on Monday, am I safe to do a reset wash and then reload the rest of the car? Since it was streaking I didn't use reload on the rest of the car...

    Is perfection impossible?

    I thought the UK application was the easiest out of everything, just had to remember it's not surgery. I had read that the new version of reload is much more forgiving, I know the one that came in my kit was 2014. But the weird thing is (after diluting 1:1 with distilled water) the roof came...

    Is perfection impossible?

    I appreciate all the input! I took it for what it was, tried to clear up any trouble areas with uber and a yellow lc flat pad, then moved on to carpro reflect on a white pad. At this point I thought it was looking pretty good, so I went ahead for s thorough wipe down with eraser-this is where my...

    Is perfection impossible?

    I used the edgeless from TRC for removal, I know the pictures aren't that great but those 2 lines saw multiple attempts at leveling them. I think I'm gonna take a look at it tomorrow with a fresh mind. On a side note, I am doing all of this for free....
