Oh I thought you guys sold it and I forgot about the new rules about not talking about others products.

I bought this 2 years ago and right out of the box the lens holder kept falling off. I sent it back and they said they will give me a new one that doesn't have that problem, nope, kept falling off. Now it won't work at all. This is a new one, less then a year old and it doesn't work at all. Real...

I've never had a problem like this. It's your technique. Your generating to much heat. work smaller areas and work shorter times. I've had my Bigfoot since they came out. Sure a few pads get torn up with use but it's years before that happens. Just normal ware. But never have I destroyed pads...

Great Idea. To bad I'm not closer. I'd give you a try.

I don't get it. what has the IDA actually done for the detailing industry?

oh god no! well water is only for your lawn. if your going to use it for anything else you'll need a filter and a UV light to kill bacteria if your going to drink it. For your cars get a DI Filter, very cheep to rent and you'll love it!

20 miles is the maximum. Anything else and I charge a minimum extra $75.

I say get a van. even if you planning on not bringing much. you can put lot's of stuff in a van and lock it up. ladders, scaffolding and the like won't fit in a small car. also your not filtering your water? you need a DI filter, big or small. Tap water is no good.

Thanks again Mike for your awesome information! Ill be using this on Barbra Mandrell's (or one of her sisters) 1958 MG in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to see the results!

Well that's a better reply than I got last week. I was stationed in Tx in the nineties and have gone there a few times for work so I kinda know the area. Come July I'll start advertising and book appointments for Aug. I have my reputation and my Yelp and FB will be pretty dominant in the area...

I'm moving to the Carrollton area in a few months due to the Ca Car Wash Bond killing my business here in So. Cal. I've contacted a couple of detailers in Dallas and they are all scared of me showing up and have sent some real nice hate mail and messages my way. I'm friends with a lot detailers...

get a "browning" chemical to prevent wicking, I do this all the time.

you can coat SS and just about anything that will stand still long enough.

I can't stand the idea of using wool to wash with or use one wash mitt over and over and over and over. Wool is for cutting deep into the paint so why would you use this to wash a car with? I use "fresh" clean soft Micro Fiber Towels. No scratches, No worries, done!

your trying to remove years of EMBEDDED dirt which is virtually impossible without spending hours and hours on it. after a good cleaning I use Hyper dressing. spray it on and let it set in the sun. Scrub it again. Spray a little degreaser on a terry towel and wipe of all the dressing. repeat...
