    Ever reschedule a customer because it's TOO hot?

    The only thing I dont miss from the east coast is that humidity. When i was stationed in NAS Oceana we were hit by a litttle heatwave. Can't really remember what year it was, maybe 06 or 07, all I know is that I was way in over my head and under estimated the humidity. I was detailing an Acura...

    Interior Dressings

    I personally use Blackfire interior protectant. It doesn't leave a shiny interior at all. Darkens the panels up and I feel it last a considerable amount of time. I personally don't like shiny interiors at all, and this fit the bill when it came to finish and durability.

    What are you using for a one-step and a two-spet polish

    I usually use either m205 or fg400 for a one-step and is entirely dependent on the condition. I follow it up with a sealant or wax. However I also use an AIO for people on a budget and in that case Ill use Meg's D151

    Wax For Silver?

    I used Bfwd on my silver wrx wagon and it my opinion it made it very glossy. It's coated now with gloss coat now. Gloss coat made a bit glossier but not by much. I suggest giving Blackfire wet diamond a try.
