As a proud double small business owner and tax paying American I support other people's business adventures. Other than some of the problems you will encounter that others already commented about, you will need a business license, State tax ID number, a Federal Tax ID number, a business bank...

I washed my car on Monday before dinner. Began at 3:35PM and finished at little after 5PM. The temp. was 44 degrees, but real feel was about 39 degrees. My fingers were numb during the drying stage. The car looked sharp for two days of good weather but today it is a mess due to snow here in...

I totally hijacked this thread - sorry. When my Acura got side swiped by a drunk driver I had it repaired and then took it to a paint specialist. We blocked down the clear and he reshot it with three layers of clear. $700 is what I paid, but I helped with some of the labor. Here is the...

The Crystal Mist has added crystalline polymers in it and is used as a quick detailer to remove light dust/dirt. The Pinny Spray Wax is used to boost the wax finish after every wash - it is not meant to use as a quick detailer to remove dust. I use the Crystal Mist followed by the Spray Wax...

Exactly! Some people think that the orange peel is only in the last coat because you can wet sand it and remove what looks like a good bit of it, but the real problem begins as early as the primer/sealer coat. Wet sanding the clear to reduce orange peel thins the clear in the high spots to...

I bought some of the Meg's Endurance Tire Spray a few weeks ago and have been using it after each wash. My preferred method is to spray it on a foam applicator and then apply it to the tire. I only do a single coat and the finish that I get is very nice. Currently the winter weather is having...

Here is an example of what I am talking about. [/url][/IMG] -Sparty

I toured a GM auto plant two years ago and had the chance to see their production painting system. The painting robots use a device that atomizes the paint to help ensure a pretty even coat. The problem with this system is that for primer/sealer and both base and clear coat the thin atomized...

Nice buy, post pics when you get it home. Did you tell the dealer not to touch the car once it arrives? I assume you did, I hope they listen, especially after his comment about not trusting his guys to wash a car! - Sparty

I have the Flex 3401 and an assortment of the 6.5" LC CCS and flat pads. They will work well on larger flatter areas that need correction - hood, roof, trunk. I use the 5.5" pads for all other areas. You didn't waste your money, but after your 6.5" pads are used up (no longer usable) you can...

Be sure to detail in a well ventilated area. Some people experience trouble breathing when using a APC. If you have allergies, compounding dust may bother you some. You can use a simple paper type filter over your nose and mouth. Protect your hearing with ear plugs if you are using a rotary...

Other than the thyme (I am allergic to it) - Yum! Hope the dinner goes well for you. - Sparty

If you like using a carnauba wax the Souveran provides a very deep and reflective look with two coats if the black paint is properly prepare. Heck, it has been used on cars that win at Pebble Beach. IMO the Fuzion protection lasts longer with two coats and the look is deep and glossy. Both...

A few weeks ago we voted for our favorite Autogeek baseball cap designs. I am curious as to when we could expect to see them for sale from AG? Thanks, -Sparty

Very impressive. The reflection in that picture speaks volumes about how much paint can be improved with even a mild wet-sanding. This past September I assisted a buddy's friend with a mild wet-sand. His vehicle had nice paint, but he noticed slight orange peel in some areas. We did a...
