    DP Tire Coating Fail - What'd I do wrong?

    Applied DP Tire Coating with a new foam applicator, to 1 month old tires on a new car. Two coats were applied one day apart. The tires now look hazy and streaked in the attached picture. Anyone know what went wrong? Thanks. Michael D.

    What shampoo to use with hot water extractor

    Congratulations on your Mytee. Mine has definitely improved my interior gsme. I get great results from Zep Premium Carpet Shampoo from Home Depot, with Folex for pre-spotting. Michael D. Great Reflections Detailing Vancouver's Mobile Retailer comes to You!

    Cloth car seat clean up without extractor

    You can mimic most of an extractor using your wet vac and a claw- shaped nozzle. As others note, a good cleaner and warm water can do wonders.

    Anyone who does pro detail on weekends while having a regular 5 day 37.5 hour a week job?

    Yes, this 40 hours plus detailing on days off / weekends is how I've run Great Reflections Detailing since 2010, and I'm well over 40. So it can be done if you want. And the best part of it being a second incone, is I take the jobs that I want. No pressure to get in over my head, because food...

    Leaf Blower for car drying?

    Ryobi now makes a lithium battery one for about $110 that adds no-cord convenience, very helpful. The Autogeek blower-dryer is also very good. Michael Great Reflections Detailing Vancouver WA Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Extreme Dog Hair Removal Jeep Rubicon

    Nice turn-around. I'm always challenged by the dog hair floating around and getting on surfaces I've already cleaned. Last one (not as bad) I probably wiped the dash/console 4x. Any thoughts on that besides getting a cat?

    Not doing much Correction

    With mobile, I count drive time to from the job when estimating the cost. So quick washes are tough to make money on, unless I can cluster 2-3 very close together. Will your customers tolerate an add-on charge, or are you just including that in your quote? Michael Great Reflections...

    Supercar-Grade Detailing is $200 twice a year..

    "Special Forces-caliber detailing" I'm going to have to remember that phrase. "Sorry, your 10 year old minivan with dog hair an inch deep covering all the toddler-litter is going to require Special Forces-caliber detailing" :props:

    Extractors

    FWIW, my Mutes extractor does fine plugged into most exterior or garage outlets IF I'm not running anything else at the same time. Michael Great Reflections Detailing Vancouver WA Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Repairing hot water extractor

    Depends on what is wrong. Does pump run? Vac motor run? Any chance there is an internal fuse or reset? Post some details. Lots of experienced folks might have a solution. Michael Great Reflections Detailing Vancouver WA Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Customer spilled lobster stew months ago, stench is awful!

    The smell may have seeped into the padding or migrated throughout the vehicle. Try pulling up the carpet and cleaning (or better replacing) the pad in that area. Aerosol odor bomb or ozone generator may be needed. Michael Great Reflections Detailing Vancouver WA Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    HD Speed ROCKS!

    You guys really have me wanting a 32 oz bottle to replace D151. Any word from AG staff when you'll be back in stock? Michael Great Reflections Detailing Vancouver WA Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
