    Anyone have a way to clean work truck dimpled plastic floors?

    Does anyone have a good method to clean work truck plastic flooring? I have a contract to clean and maintain a fleet of work trucks. Some have the dimpled plastic flooring rather than carpet. I tried several methods to clean the floors. I blew out the floors with air. I tried Optimum no...

    Got govt contract for monthly detailing fleet of 60 SUVs

    Yes it's crazy that a corporation is allowed to pollute like that, but I can't complain I guess.

    Got govt contract for monthly detailing fleet of 60 SUVs

    I made a thread a couple of years ago about how this whiskey fungus is going to be big money. Bourbon production is booming, so the fungus is blooming!

    Got govt contract for monthly detailing fleet of 60 SUVs

    First week completed. All of the vehicles are COMPLETELY covered in whiskey fungus. The parking area is directly up the hill from a bourbon distillery. They also needed 4 big vehicles done right away so I jumped right into the fire. Here's a video of the whiskey fungus: The whiskey fungus...

    Bug Removal

    Professionally, for really bad vehicles, I use PoorBoysWorld Bug Squash at 100%, left to dwell under the foam. There's an old thread somewhere where I sprayed it on a moth in my radiator fins and it dissolved the moth. For my own vehicle, I use detail spray with carnauba wax, let it soak and...

    2021 Jeep Wrangler 4XE Perfect Polish

    On the package it says its for finishing. I used the gloss pads on areas that I didn’t see any imperfections. I would say that with the right machine and polish, it would probably remove light swirling. I base that opinion on the amount of dirt that the pads removed. I wouldn’t use it for...

    Won a returned MakitaPO5000C eBay $227.50!

    I used this polisher for 7 years. I lost all the plastic cover screws and it was held together by duct tape. I finally broke down and bought a FLex XCE 10-8 (The Beast.) Much better machine. More power and better balanced.

    Harbor Freight HC109B Forced Rotation polisher

    I tried out the Bauer and it nearly beat me to death with vibration. I found a Flex XFE 7-15 for $200 on chemicalguys.com

    Harbor Freight HC109B Forced Rotation polisher

    Scott, let us know how long it lasts. I have a mobile detailer buddy who uses those for his crew exclusively and he said always get the replacement warranty because they die on him quickly.

    2021 Jeep Wrangler 4XE Perfect Polish

    Link below to video I haven’t posted in a while because business has been really good. The other mobile detailer around me went back to his desk job, and my google search moved up to the top 3. I have worked 7 days a week most of the summer. This is my personal business vehicle I use for...

    Headliner disaster...suggestions?

    Yeah its a tough job. Usually when I see this type of stain it is blood. I pre-treat blood with hydrogen peroxide then steam. Vapor Chief has videos of headliner steaming on their youtube channel.

    Headliner disaster...suggestions?

    Low pressure and work quickly. The steamer gets it much less wet than a spray bottle

    Headliner disaster...suggestions?

    At least its not blood. I would use a steamer but you can try lightly spraying with stain remover and lightly rubbibg with brush and towel.

    Cleaning engine bay?

    Most dealerships use a garden hose to clean the engine on a used car built after 2000. You will be fine with a spray bottle and rag.

    Looking For A New Polish

    I agree Griot's BOSS is good. But professionally I use Meguiar's more than any other for paint correction. Reasonably priced and you can find it anywhere, including Harbor Freight. I think you will be shocked at how much better it is than CG. For All In One with ceramic , I like McKee's37.

    Best source for custom printed business card license plate.

    If its aluminum it should be pretty light. I think a little duct or masking tape loop on the back would keep it in place long enough for pics and video. I'm planning on putting mine on the front of my truck, and when I get to the customer, i will take it off my truck and put it on the...
