    Interior/engine dressing

    I have heard that it can be used on carpet and upholstery but have never tried it on them... A lot of people have heard about 303 but not many truly use it for what it is worth ime...

    Interior/engine dressing

    Yes... the best way I have found to use it under the hood is after you have cleaned it and have gotten it dry mist it with some water (very lightly just enough to be "moist") then spray the 303 on. Let that sit for a few min then take a mf, mist it with the 303 then wipe down the engine area...

    Interior/engine dressing

    I personally have not used it but I have seen it in a friend that used it's car... I do like the look it gives but for the shop it doesn't make sense to use just for the cost factor (I get 303 direct from them as I have an account with them)... 303 would remove easily with a good cleaner... I...

    Interior/engine dressing

    Sorry I have to put my .02 in... I love 303 for all of the above! It leaves a satin sheen and works well on all surfaces... I use this stuff by the gallon in my shop and everyone seems to love the look... Also it is decently priced for the spray bottle size... With 303 a little goes a long...

    Anyone else have trouble getting dressing to stay on Continental DWS tires?

    That is all I use for tires to clean them for jobs and trust me I see a lot of nasty tires... I use it at full strength and let it dwell... Some of the new BMW's are coming with the DWS on them and they all have that grey haze to them... I have yet to have any complaints from any customers about...

    dont you just hate it.....

    From what I have been told by a few reputable builders is they do it for 2 reasons: 1. air flow - The rear bumper cover can act like a "scoop" as it protrudes below the bumper support for design aesthetics so the holes are "relief" holes to allow the air to freely pass through the area without...

    Promptness...

    Lol... The problem with my customers is they get flustered when I ask for their email address... I don't think they would go for the cc#... I don't think that porn guy would have done anything anyways... I know a guy that used to be in the industry and he was a strung out dope... if he could...

    This is my biggest pet peeve next to a customer bringing in a mud flood car when they said "it really isn't all that bad" when making their appt... I had an issue once with my son that made me 10 min late to getting to the shop and the client that was waiting was furious even though I had called...

    Gold Coast Corvette Club - First Annual Car Show

    I love shows like this! The biggest fail for them though is that they don't have enough if any 1982 and 1984 CrossFire cars! CFI Corvette owners are generally the "laughing stock" owners as other Vette guys tend to see those cars as Fails due to the injection system when all they really need is...

    how to prevent battery drainage during long details?...

    So true! And if you ever have the power on a Land Rover Range Rover drop out you will either need a $10k computer for them or know the "tricks" to reprogram everything (I mean everything: Sunroof, Windows, HVAC, seats, radio code required (and if you don't have this you have to have the client...

    Very true! My wife said that we should start charging a cancellation fee to those that "no call no show"... I think that would be good but at the same time it would be bad... The good: It allows the customer to know that our time and their time is valuable and that if they decide that they need...

    Sorry but I have to :rant: ... In the last 2 weeks I think I have only had 3 out of my 25 scheduled customers show up on time!
