I'm planning on getting the commercial kit here really soon, and kind of wanting to get near full time with it and not so much the detailing portion, but would still offer it to detail customers. But just wondering at what point do you do the chip repair? The blending solution would almost...

I got mine with the bonus auto detailing specific kit too. It might be with it to find that kit specifically. I think they go for $40 or somewhere around there. I don't think I would have any use for that wide blade "carwash vacuum" style nozzle. The Rigid kit comes with two different triangle...

But I'm not saying it can't be done. There may be a niche establishment that would make it worth your while. But they are going to have to really want better results than what a drive through car wash will give them, and as a business, keeping costs down is a priority. Most aren't going to care...

In my experience, fleet vehicles are not something you want to waste your time with. Most places that need to have them detailed/cleaned have near minimum wage employees that do a "good enough to get by" job. Other places may have employees that clean them as busy work when they aren't really...

Just because it hurts your skin, doesn't mean it's going to scratch paint. The material itself is what matters. You could cut your skin with a plastic razor blade, but can cut masking tape directly on your car all day and not leave any scratches.

You don't necessarily HAVE to sand, but if you want it to not flake off in the long run, it needs a surface it can "bite" to. Most people these days use plastidip or a similar product for "painting" things like that. This may be what your dealer was referring to when mentioning that it won't...

The problem is you want it translucent and no paint is intended to hold on a smooth, polished surface like the badges. It doesn't matter how professional the paint is, surface preparation is everything, and unless you want to sand the badges, including every nook and cranny, you most likely...

Just a thought, but nail polish sounds like the perfect product. I'm sure you could find the exact color you're looking for and with the little brush, you can get the letters pretty easily. I'm guessing you don't really have to hit the sides of the badges. If it gets bad you can always start...

I don't think they are actually planning on anyone buying anything. It's probably more of a Search Engine Optimization technique. Funny thing is I actually learned about this through my buddy who got me into professional detailing, and said I could help with SEO and he would pay me by the hour...

I just used alcohol yesterday to get some off my dad's truck. I don't think it's all that bad. It evaporates very fast. I think the "problem" with using alcohol is if you are rubbing with it because it's not a good lubricant. I actually used cotton facial pads soaked in alcohol that my girl...

The reviews weren't so hot on that repair kit haha.

Don't use any dressing on the tires. Even if you think you can keep it on the sidewalls, it can still creep up and over onto the tread and cause an accident.

I'd like to try them out as well. I've used the Meg's ones in the past when they first came out and although they worked well, they didn't last too long before separating from the backing. Would love to have some that hold up.

Does this include buying the 6 packs? Trying to follow the the link and once I get to the 6 pack part, the buy one get one free message is no longer at the top.

Just don't get anything in the static ports or pitot tubes.

Are you saying you use the same brush to clean the tire AND apply the dressing or the dressing is coming off the tire and into the brush? Definitely get a different dressing if it comes off like that. If you are just using the same brush, get a different brush for each purpose. Each of my...

I would say you should develop a good understanding of aircraft components and some systems that have external sensors. The most important precaution is with the static ports. It is of life and death importance to not affect those sensors in any way. They are usually on the sides near the...

If you look at the videos of people charging this much, a lot of it has to do with the products they are using. €12k for what looks like 6 oz. of wax. They use over priced products while accentuating words like ph balanced and citrus based like they are some special products that no one else...

Probably $20-40 million these days haha. I was a flight engineer on a G4 for a few years

How long are you waiting to put on the second coat? If you decide to do that, you should wait for it to fully cure. You are probably softening the first coat with the second if you are doing it on the same day. I noticed the first time I used it that I couldn't wait long at all to buff it out...
