    May be a similar use case as the kamikaze artificial clear coat. YouTube Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    SEMA 2018... 2019 Products

    Ohhhh thanks for the consolidation thread! Looking forward to some of the new stuff Meguiars is dropping. Iron remover, ceramic wax and the new 110/210 compound and polish. I wonder where the current leather cleaner of gyeon falls in with the new mild and strong. It's my go to leather cleaner...

    Struggling to get customers

    I forgot to mention referrals through local businesses is a great way as well. I saw you have a "Recommended Service Partners" on your site which is a great way to promote local businesses around you. You should be ensuring they are doing the same for you. Hit up the local shops and show them...

    Struggling to get customers

    How do you guys manage it???

    Work Hydroshot - Poor water pressure

    I really like the Krause and Becker airless paint sprayer for this. Its got enough power to knock dirt off the car (up to 3000psi rating - it has a pressure control knob). I mix my rinseless solution in the bucket and use it to pre-rinse the wheels, paint etc. Then follow up with my rinsleless...

    Rupes iBrid

    I have the long neck and love it. I also use it on every detail, mostly with the 1inch pads. Its a versatile tool as you can change from 12mm throw, 3mm throw, and rotary. Nice for spot sanding with the sanding discs provided. Also, nice for cleaning leather with the rotary attachment and boars...

    Best Brand Top to Bottom

    Hard question to answer because so many great product lines but if I had to choose just one, I would have to go with Griots Garage. From pads, BOSS polishers, detailing supplies/ products, and the new BOSS polishes you just can not go wrong. You can get the complete system of everything you need...
