Sorry FunX, Watson buzzed before you did...

I have heard the same thing but I don't know if it is true. It is not good for paint to be sure. My guess is that polishing would bring it back.... but if they want to replace it for you, well, why not?

Experience is king, but having knowledge allows you to start at a much higher level than someone who knows nothing and just experiments. I don't often learn things anymore on the forums, but still just answering questions is a good exercise for things you might not be doing often, it brings the...

I did one of the same model (I think) earlier this season. The client wanted it ceramic coated. There is some kind of strange finish on these things and you cannot use any kind of solvent or strong degreaser on them. So I ended up doing a rinseless wash and I degreased it with palmolive dish...

I think people in countries likes India have a lot of free time on their hands. I get at least 5 or 6 emails per week from there to optimize my website or some other crap. Then when you get sms messages saying: I am mr. Powell, do you do car washing and auto detailing? Very likelly comes from...

Mine has been on for about 3 months now. Still looks like it did when I applied it. So far, I like this product.

I get the Uber feelz when I get paid well ;) LOL

Yes but large brands like that spend fortunes to establish their name and make sure people know who they are and what they do. For a small business, that is a very bad idea... you would rather spend your advertizing budget on selling services than trying to establish your name.

4 day work week-end for me. Friday was easy, just an exterior detail with tar removal. Took 3 hours to do. Yesterday was a long day, ceramic coating on a Lexus RX350 with 1 step polish and 3 hours of scratch removal. Took about 11 hours to do it all. Today was an other ceramic coating job...

I hate to give bad feedback but I would rethink the name and get a graphic designer for you. Even if you use fivver and only pay a few bucks, they should be able to come up with something better than what you have now. I am really bad at making names for projects but I can tell you the name...

Protection is not the only aspect that comes into play when you rate a product. If you look at ads in the 1950s, they claim 6 months durability on the waxes... that aspect has not changed unless you use a coating. What makes the newer product much better is the ease of use and the time you...

I never charge extra unless I have arned the customer about it before hand. And that is a very rare thing for me. The way I see it, it's my job to inspect the vehicle before I ask the client to sign the work order. If it's something that could not have been noticed because the vehicle was...

Welcome to the forum. First, doing a compound twice a year is overkill and is not good for the durability of your paint. Every time you compound the paint, you remove a small layer of it. Modern paints are extremelly thin, and if you remove say 2% of your clearcoat twice a year, you are...

Why? Clearcoat is not vulnerable to acids. Also Wheel Brightener is not that acid. I can't remember who printed the numbers on the forum but it's PH was 5.5... hardly acid at all.

I have 7 year old M105 and M205. Still working well. I have had products going bad over the years, but usually they just separate in the bottle. If you shake it well, I am confident it will still work.

Possible. I had issues with Meg's hybrid ceramic wax today. It was streaking like crazy no matter what I did. I use it dilluted 7:1 and have not noticed issues before... maybe there were but the car colors made them less visible? Anyway, today was super hot, 32 celcius (90 F) in the shade...

The only time I have had issues with ICE Spray Wax was when I did not wipe it off quickly. Just re-apply and wipe off in those cases. I usually use it liberaly, spraying over entire pannel then using 2 towels to wipe off. So far it's been a great product. I was a bit disapointed in the...

I tried using a soft bristle bush, it did improve it a bit but did not get is clean. I tend used my tire cleaner (Meguiars non-acid wheel cleaner) with the soft bristle brush, did not see much change. I watched a video today where the guy used Griot's Garage Rubber cleaner to clean a tire...

Hum... might have been something in my pad then? Odd because I do a very thourough (sp?) wash of the pads after each use. Maybe the product doesn't like 5 inch long throw action or something... Anyway, not gonna try again, fool me once... :)

It created high spots, so I had to polish them off and re-coat. Thankfully, it was a repair job on a coating, so only 2 pannels had to be re-done. If I had done an entire car I would have been really pissed ;)
