    What is your favorite MF towels?

    After trying a lot (including Cobra Gold Plush, RAG CO Eagle Edgeless Blue), my favorite MF (for what you use it for) is Microfiber Madness. They're expensive, but "cheaper" than using inferior products that would more likely induce swirls/scratches on prized finish.

    The opportunity is here! For me..

    Make a business plan. Do SWOT analysis. Figure out fixed/variable costs to determine how much you'll need to make to stay open. Talk to others in Canada who are or have done similar to get their lessons learned and advice. Good luck!

    Favorite Wash Mitt?

    No, but latest Amazon review shows what I was thinking: "By JeffS on October 1, 2015 Mediocre wash mitt and WAY overpriced. Oh, and FYI, if your washing your car without soap or a no rinse product for lubricity, your inducing swirl marks no matter what mitt you use, fact."

    detailing gloves-what do you use???

    I rarely pay full retail and I usually buy the best regardless of price. Most "expensive" things are cheaper in the long run and provide less headaches and peace of mind, which is priceless. Amazon Prime is hard to beat. :dblthumb2:
