    Dlux application question

    I love the WG Trim Sealant. I may just keep using that. It hasn't let me down, just wanted something with greater longevity.

    Dunno. Seems wasteful.

    Dlux application question

    I have finally caved into the trim "coating" realm. I bought some Dlux. I am testing it on my 2016 Ford Escape. Application on the more smooth trim and moldings is pretty simple. However, the front bumper and valance are VERY textured and that makes application very difficult. Is anyone familiar...

    Can I use car compound/ polish on gel-coat?

    As someone who moved from detailing automobiles to boats - no. There is a difference. When I started out on boats, I used automotive compounds and polishes. I got so-so results along with significantly increased product usage. I tried several marine products and I finally landed on a few...

    Insurance plan for part time detailing

    General liability will not cover damage to a client's car in your custody and control. Only garage keepers will. I am in Michigan. Have been in business for years. Actually added boat detailing to my offerings and had to raise my coverage. It may vary from state to state though.

    Nib Removal

    I would talk to the painter first. Second - do not sand down dust nibs... There is a tool for that. Also, be sure to ask the painter when it would be appropriate to polish or wax the paint as well. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    Please Weigh In: Polymer Sealants vs. Ceramic/Silica Products

    On my personal vehicles I use coatings. In business... My local market does not support the cost. Not to say I haven't done a few high end vehicles - but I'm more of a production shop. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    Is it a waste of money...?

    I have one. I love it. Without the heat, it just requires more agitation on the tougher stains. The first thing you'll want to buy is a longer suction and solution hose. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

    Thinkin about tossing in the towel

    Warning: The following statement is blunt and to the point. It sounds like you are talking yourself out of making money or you really do not want to do this for a source of income. Find something else that makes you happy. FYI... When I'm not detailing a car... I am pounding the streets...
