I'm not a professional detailer but I would be inclined to focus on making him a steady client by showing value in your first project for him, then suggesting and offering remedial maintenance for him 6 months or later down the road. I would think he could offer great "word-of-mouth" referrals...

I have a small "pancake" compressor that gets up to about 125PSI but not a pressure washer. Is there a way I can connect some type of foam gun or cannon to my compressor and get decent (but not identical) results? Will the compressor provide sufficient power? Would appreciate your insights. TIA

Based upon your desire for "Looking for decent durability, something that has good water behavior and dirt shedding," I'd suggest you use FK-1000 for your LSP and then the TW products for drying aid and spiffer-uppers. Fk-1000 gives great protection, it's easy on-easy off, and lasts so you'll...

This is what I have typically used over the years and it has worked well for me. I start with the PG1000 compound with a yellow/orange LC pad, followed by the FF3000 finishing polish on a white LC pad, and I top it with the Power Lock sealant which I typically apply by hand.

I've used this as my regular car wash soap for a couple years now and I'm happy with it, cherry scent included. I don't have any experience with the others mentioned above, so no basis for comparison.

Thanks for clarifying. I have been going over the car with Durawax or Wolfgang Spritz, but I've been doing it after I dried the car. I'll try it as I dry. Thanks

Sorry for a dumb question: Can you please explain to me how/when you use the product as a "drying aid"? Are you applying this to the wet car after washing it but BEFORE drying the sitting water beads? Are you then absorbing the detailer as you absorb the water? Or are you applying the...

I'm not a professional just an enthusiast. I bought mine back in 2006 after reading and learning about the advantage of using a Porter-Cable for polishing on this website. I use it every six months on two personal vehicles and it continues to perform reliably and satisfactorily. I am able to...

I've come to enjoy and appreciate DG 902; get it by the gallon and transfer to a dish washing bottle for squirting into my bucket.

WAXOFF: Point well taken re cost, but for me that's not really the issue. Whether it's $10 or $20 or $100, I have this naive expectation that any product is going to work and perform as advertised with "zero defects"; if/when it doesn't, I'm disappointed. That's the case for me with these...

This is ridiculously timely: I came searching for exactly this issue as I have two orange SONAX 6.5" pads with the cloth backing coming off this past weekend. The foam is still in great shape, but I have a hard time controlling the pad placement on the car with half the cloth coming unglued...

I used the Finish Polish II followed by the blue Finish Polish on one of my vehicles and I was happy with the results. Six months later I went back to use them both on another vehicle, and the polishes had completely separated from the fluid carrier, and no matter how much shaking I did, I...
