    Critique my pricing system!

    Twitch77 made some VERY good recommendations. As I've always said, generally speaking, with income comes education. First impressions can make or break your clients desire to pursue further contact with you as a business.

    Microfiber Boiling vs. Clothes Dryer

    The answer might possibly be related to dry heat vs. wet heat keeping the fibers protected.

    Garage keepers insurance

    There are too many variables to answer your question with any information that will be useful. That's like asking someone the "average price of car insurance". You can ask it, but what will those numbers really tell you? Nothing if you don't understand what the coverage covers or what's...

    Best OTC wheel cleaner?

    Eagle One has been my favorite OTC wheel/tire cleaner. I'd say it definitely works better than the Mothers (I've tried both several times and I keep going back to Eagle One).

    microfiber 12 pack for rinseless washing?

    The super soft deluxe green (or blue) microfibers are very nice. They are some of the nicest microfibers I have used and would probably be ideal for ONR style washes. Regardless, I'd recommend ordering them anyways and I guarantee you will find a nice use for them, and they're some of the...

    How often do you change your oil?

    Sorry but that's pretty much the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Every 500 miles? Do you realize MANY high end manufacturers are going 15k+ on fully synthetic (ex. Mobil1). And there have been plenty of independent tests to support those claims. Do some research...you are throwing money out...

    Paint chip

    Try using a black Sharpie/permanent marker if it's a black car. It won't be perfect but I've done it numerous times with great results. Anything is better then a silver/white chip on a black hood and you can always use touch up paint over it at a later date.

    Need your help with my BMW wheels

    You can use an acidic based cleaner at full strength on those and be perfectly safe, just don't leave it on for more than ~ 1 minute. Megs WB would work well. Also try a clay bar to remove the imbedded contaminants. Follow up with a quality sealant and you're good to go.

    Build it up with clear and sand it down a bit with 1000, 1500, 2000. Buff it up with your orbital just as you would any other clear coated paint job just be careful.

    anyone here have experience with dr. colorchip?

    I don't think it's meant to fully fill the chip. It's more for turning the chip body color so you don't notice it as much. I just purchased it but have yet to use it. Read the other threads on here so you can get a feel for others results. I think what you are expecting out of it is not what...

    Making Meguairs DA MF System Profitable

    Based on what you are saying, the number one thing you can do is work on becoming more efficient. 13 hours is way too much time to be spending on vehicles that you need to profit from. The better you become, the less time it will take you = more profit per hour invested. Obviously you should...

    Clay bar scratches

    Care to explain how a liquid with less lubrication will be more beneficial to one with great lubricating properties in terms clay bar use + scratches? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm simply stating facts: more lubrication = less surface friction = less chance chance of surface...

    Clay bar scratches

    Make sure you use a lube. I don't care what anyone says, water will not do the job unless you do plan on polishing after the clay. I find that Meguiars Final Inspection works EXCELLENT. It's provides enough lube to break that surface tension without sacrificing any of the clay's ability to...

    rolling fenders

    I've rolled the fenders on several Mazdaspeed 3's and never had an issue. Heat gun is a must and you must work slowly. The biggest mistake people make is trying to bend the lip angle too quickly and sharply which will definetely cause the paint to crack. Roll a little at a time and make sure...

    Fresh bottle of Meguiars Showroom Shine split open!!!

    Why not contact AG first and see what they have to say? It seems slightly unnecessary to make a thread first, though I do give you credit for not bashing AG like some other people do when situations like this arise. They will definetely take care of you. If the product is still good and...
