Zim, thanks for the research. While the artificial writing is getting better, all the bot programs write the same. Search for auto posting bot software if anyone is interested. No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk

Yes, yes, and yes to AA, bleech white, SOS pads, beach towels, dish soap that " really cuts the grease", brushes, chamois, squeegees, vinegar and newspaper, ammonia and newspaper. But the worst was when I used nail polish remover on the plastic clear lens of my dash (I have no idea why?). Damn...

Wgarrjr, I just realized you have about six posts here, half in this. Since you seem to have taken the bird crap comment the hardest let me explain. We're both sitting around the deer lease and a bird nails us both. Your response? Distiller water, a microfiber, and some QD. My response, $20 a...

Obviously my post was too subtle for wgarrjr. Allow me to explain. I will never be as good as some of the pros here. It isn't my job, I don't have the passion that y'all do. I also noted the baby steps I've taken after reading these forums, concluding by saying maybe there is hope for me after...

Just kidding. They are on the back window :cool: I guess I should introduce myself. After reading this forums for a month or so I know I am not an autogeek and will probably never achieve that status. I just can't worry about water drying on my truck or getting bird crap off immediately. I...

I am also in Texas and will bet you are north of me. Rio Grande Valley, my truck's worse enemy is sea, sand, and sunny skies. No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk

It's amazing to me that we can drive down a highway at 80mph (west Texas) and do less damage than one person's finger. Although some of those dust storms are pretty crazy. No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk

My rule of thumb with them is if it has a cord or a motor, I stay away. I may expand that to include any moving parts. I am not a knowledgable enough engineer to spot crap from 'will work'. No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk

My buddy shudders when he sees someone using a string trimmer for their hardscape. Just terrible. People are ruining their lawns and don't even know it. You really need a very sharp edger. The guy that cuts my hair thinks people are crazy for using cheap shampoo. It's what you care about...

I am treating this as a relationship question more than detailing. Your relationship with them is more important than their Honda. It seems they are working on getting to know you. Congratulations, their daughter must like you. Satisfy them and not you. Do they routinely have the vehicle...

Be fair to them, treat them with respect, trust them with little stuff. Put a sign up that says checks or credit cards only, no cash. Another sign that reads free wash if we forget to give you a receipt. No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk

Btw, there is a very important distinction when someone says "paying cash". You can legally hand an employee cash, but you have to follow all the same laws for withholdings, reporting, etc. I did that for my employees who did not have checking accounts. They liked it and I liked not writing...

That's what I was thinking. I also considered the pressure washer at the self service but was worried about mechanical damage. I wish I could get the truck onto the backyard lawn. Thank you No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk

Now that I stopped using automatic washes, how should I clean and rinse the underside of my F150 after driving on the beach and splashing through salt water? No electrons were harmed in the production of this post via Tapatalk
