    Just got out of the ER

    Justin, The fact is that most Americans are dehydrated. Many people don't even realize it. I have a mobile detailing business too, in Florida I might add (freakin hot :) ), and drink a lot of water. However, I never have to pee. I sweat a lot, usually a couple t-shirts per car. Even with...

    Clay, Cladding, Pinstipes ,OH MY

    Steve, Yes you can wax, polish, etc to the stripes. Those kind of pen stripes were all the rage in the 90's, done by hand. I'm not into custom rides much anymore so I'm not sure if it's still a fad or not. But simply yes you can treat it as your cars paint with one expection. Take car how...

    Paint Splatters
