    Mobile detailing business

    I think it depends on the products you use and your environment. Most use a pop up canopy to provide shade. Relatively inexpensive. Serves as an advertising piece if you sew in a banner as well. For mobile guys asking for water outlet and electrical connection isn't unprofessional. You should...

    Just put up a website - feedback appreicated.

    I'd keep it simple. remove the glaze. Personally I'm not a fan of them but customers don't have a clue. Most assume when paying for a car wash and wax that the interior will be cleaned along with the tires wheel wells and door jams. After all that what the $20 car wash does on the corner...

    Just put up a website - feedback appreicated.

    Simple is good. In your banner ad Interior Detailing is misspelled. Glad you mentioned Canadian dollars because I thought I'm way under charging people, lol. Didn't notice but I've always felt letting people know prices are estimates and a quote will be given based on service and condition of...

    Deep scratches in old, single stage paint

    Well another revival. Just wondering how the final product came out. Lots of different ways to conquer scratches as you can tell from the advise. Your truck looks way better. I like old vehicle's and SS paint sadly not enough of them around anymore.

    Washing microfiber towels separately?

    Yep but I don't over think it. Level 1 New towels washed together Level 2 Used but in good or like new condition washed together Level 3 all others washed together or thrown out. Regular detergent low heat. I don't use drying towels but use a leaf blower then followed with spray way or ONR and...

    Plastic speedometer/gauges cover scratched

    As suggested Megs PlastX and a microfiber towel. Yep this cover scratches really easily. My wife wiped hers down with sandpaper I think looking at the level of the scratches. The Plastx did a 95% restoration. Wouldn't pass for a concourse level show but on a DD good enough. I would not want to...

    Detailing Bag

    There's a fine line between being too big (and heavy) and too small (not fitting supplies). I find keeping polishers separate in their own bag ,compounds/polishes, small tools in another bag and a third for pads and mf towels. When home I use two 3-shelf steel stands on casters to wheel around...

    Two bucket wash with microfiber towels?

    All good. I no longer soak the MF towels in the bucket but rather. Just store the solution (I use ONR) in th bucket then when ready put the clean MF towel in and use one side per wipe. Honey Dew is awesome when using a pressure washer. Second bucket holds dirty towels. I agree in hot weather...

    A little angry right now!!!

    Another vote foe Tarminator and a paper towel. It will make quick work of it. You have a right to rant. F150s are expensive these days.

    Look at this mess.

    Simple fix is replace the carpet. There's lots of options to do this. Less expensive is remove the carpet throughly wash and dry, reduce as close as possible then use floor mats over it. Soon you will forget about it. For cheap labor put a wrench in your daughters hands. Could be worse she...

    Wool pad advice.

    It's been said a million times here, srart with a test spot. Use good technique remember the number of passes you do and start with a less aggressive option to begin with. Sounds like you have good materials. I pretty much stick to Meguires for compound and polishing as I get to know the...

    Poison Ivy removal

    Tecnu Posion Oak Cleaner breaks down the oils. Foot detailing I'd think after treatment with Tecnu use steam and an extractor. Knowing how bad I get this stuff I'd charge an arm and a leg for the service or just decline it. Hell I'm itching already....

    Wool pad advice.

    I'd be surprised if you need a wool pad with the 3401. A lot depends on the compounds you'll be using. Answers: 1 pad per panel. Clean on the fly with a pad rake or wash them along the way the spin them dry with the 3401, but the point is it's a must with wool to keep them clean. Yes wool can...

    Clear coat safety with modern tools, pads, compounds and polishes

    LOL a PC with 7" pad, did it even rotate? PC's are way more efficient with smaller pads. Now on to the OP question. Ignorance is bliss. Compounding or wet sanding w/o a paint guage is a big risk not relatively safe. If it's your car that's one thing but a clients car like what was already...
