    Sonax Polymer Netshield

    i was given some by my supplier to try out its ok… its a bit of a pain to take off if you do large areas, so do panel at a time. it doesnt last six months i put it on my girlfriend's jeep in the fall (Nov) and theres clearly nothing left when i washed it a week ago no beading or anything, but...

    How not to clean cloth seats

    In the picture it seems like some of the whiteness came out, did you try a good rinse with just water? To me it looks like way to much cleaner and just left there to dry and crust up. But doesn't surprise me that some hack did this. I've had a customer call me and said the dealers detailer used...

    Nissan GTR

    I think you guys are over thinking it. I do a few GTRs and never had a problem with the interiors. I use a multi at 12:1ish wipe everything. Then go back around with #40 rubber vinyl conditioner, it's the only one I use on everything, even on leather it drys to a nice matte finish not shiny and...

    Porsche 911 Carrera 1Step *PIC HEAVY*

    Looks good. It can only be as good as what the customer wants to pay for. Can't be perfect if there not paying for it.

    Advice for a startup

    Dealerships will pay $3 a car go wash the lot. Go after construction trucks. My buddy has a big heater and water tank on his truck. Makes good money just power washing the mud off trucks before they leave the site.

    Logo Removal

    Be careful on white cars. I don't know if you seen this on the van, but mine left yellow marks everywhere. I had to polish it off and because the van I did was very sun damaged, the parts I polished stood out, so I ended up polishing the whole van. Any other colors I didn't have a problem with.

    Logo Removal

    Heat gun, plastic razor blade (so you don't damage the paint) and body shop "wash reducer". One of the best adhesive removers I fined. I went to a body shop and got 5gal for $75. Works mint

    Need help with my Viper

    I did a 2014 mustang in the fall but the guy had it opti-coated somewhere else. It was hard as nails. I just did a quick thing to it. But I would say polish both cars with what ever compound your comfortable with and have them opti-coated. As for the vipers I've only done one 2014. Come spring...

    Up Close & Personal: FLEX Swirl Finder Light

    You have a good attitude. Keep an open mind about everything. I can't stand getting called to a job and theres some old timer that knows everything but is using methods from the 70s, and i know nothing. All i say is "You called me, not the other way around."

    Need help with my Viper

    The 2014 that i did just came from the dealer and was delivered with a ton of scratches and swirls due to the clean guys at the dealer wiping the car down with dirty rags in the showroom. The dealer owner paid me to drive 2hrs each way to the customers house to polish the car. I could scratch it...

    Up Close & Personal: FLEX Swirl Finder Light

    The strike bezel is for when your inspecting others work and if theres still swirls then they better watch out. lol. But on a serious note it seems to be a nice little light, the old ones are big balky. If your serious about your work and people are bringing you 2 3 $400,000 cars, you would hope...
