I researched topics on this and didn't really find anything. I've yet to hear of a product that clears this issue up. I can get everything off a cars coat but yellow/white road paint on new roads. Does this come down to feathersanding? Can I use a plastic razor and knock most of it off...

A few tips of advice: 1). For advertising, if you have a surplus cash flow left from your old job, yes... hire a cheap advertising agency for your first couple months. 2). Use a groupon based sponsor website that splits part of your deals, it will work wonders for you (put a limit on how many...

I work for Kenworth as of now. I can differentiate which manufacturers use coated plastic and actual aluminum/chrome plating. I know of aluminum polishes I can use, I can just curious what to use as prep work for polishing to get the bug stains out.

What other places besides 3M offer training certification for this? $2000 minimum is kind of... absurd IMO. I do understand it's a certification, and it's a nice thing to have... but it's not that complicated. Also the ability for them to revoke your certifcation title and not supply you any...

So... been looking at some options for detailing. Aside from doing cars here and there, I would love to prospect to semi-truck dealerships and offer to clean up new inventory. I'm curious about a few things as far as cleaning goes and products... 1) polished steel/aluminum grills with bugs...

2007 Escudo XL7 Twin Peaks Trial Car. I'm all about speed... but having 1100 bhp that can still maintain traction on dirt, gravel, grass, or snow with AWD... I don't think it gets any better than that :xyxthumbs: - Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajama at 2009 Pikes Peak Hill Climb Currently holds...

Finally have snow during the day time here in, OH. Working at the detail shop just got that much more slow :xyxthumbs: *Oh wait what's this, my wallets shaking because it's cold. Oh wait, it's scared because it is now December and Christmas season.

You have my prayer

I want to install a small LED sign that glows to show people the speed limit when they're going to slow. They need to make those, it would be so convenient. Semi truck horns in a car though, that's brilliant. I don't see how that is illegal in any way. Class 5-8 can have those, but not daily...

Yeah, Hyundai is smashing about every car company right now. It's pretty impressive to see a car company that uses better stylizing than just about every other car company out there right now, but can offer prices similar to all of the other economy vehicles out right now. I wish all of these...

Could've been better. Both of my cars broke down, got 1 fixed. Have to sell my 91 rx7 FC3C now for cheap since it's screwed. I just paid it off =/ got into a conflict with the fiance and now we are seeing eachother less. I also am getting kicked out of my house after December. I'm pretty sure...

One thing you could do that would be AMAZING!!! and would probably really make you appeal to anyone else that is out there is... donations to charities. Every wash or service done, $1-2 donated to bla bla charity. I know when I start up, I'll be doing that. I used to do community service...

I replace air filter around every 5k miles since it's stock and not an open CAI. Been raining 3 days straight, knowing my luck work will get flooded and I'll be fired to save for the expense of paying for water damage :P No, but on a more serious note, I'm pretty sure it's water and...

:applause: If I could, I'd give you a pat on the back. Maybe they should make a smiley for that, it's internet code should have your user name in it. Seriously though, nice job.

Been raining for 3 days straight in Cincinnati. Started my Rx7 tonight because I stayed at my fiances for the past 2 days. Engine was knocking and sporadically dying. Then started reeving high, electrical systems were dimming, and it started knocking whenever I went past 3k rpms. 4 options, all...

Happy Thanks Giving to all at AG. Thanks to many friendly folks in the community, I'll be able to run my own mobile detail business soon and do one of my favorite hobbies for a living. Thanks all, and be safe and have a great holiday.

I'm going with a hard 3-piece more than likely. Thanks for the input folks. I just need to order my generator and take off the peg stand and wheels and hope it fits in the bed :xyxthumbs: Looking at a Sonoma with 17.10 bed depth. My prefered generator is 17.20 inches, but has what looks like a...

Hmmm, yeah I might get a hard tonneau or something that's solid and can be locked. I was just going for cost efficiency and go soft, but I'd rather not risk getting hacked into. Good point SeaJay. I have considered a truck cap, but I am wanting to mostly just unfold my tonneau and pull out my...

First off, welcome to AG :) It saves you money to just get a generator and run an electric PW off of it, because in some cases you may need other supplies for the generator. Thus you spend more $ in gas. -Electrics are cheaper, more compact, and some are reliable and others aren't (this is the...
